He sent.
Lauren sighed and dropped the phone back on the couch.
“Alright…
I’m going to inform Mr George about that”
Alex replied and held her hand.
“What are you doing?”
Lauren looked at him.
“Do you like someone?
Alex suddenly throws the question.
Lauren was surprised the question was coming out from Alex.
She just stood up from the couch and was about to walk away when Alex held her hand.
“I only asked a harmless question… Why are you running away from it”
Alex said.
“Please, can you let me go?”
I don’t have time for this”
“Do you like someone already?
I don’t care who you like, I just want you to have someone that makes you smile and happy all the time”.
“Thanks… I have to go to bed now
Thanks for hosting me with some pizza”
She replied and walked away.
🎲🧩🎲🧩
She got to her room and closed the door behind her. She brought out her phone and checked Ethan’s text again as she lay on her bed.
“Let me try this out”
She muttered and wanted to download the Instagram app but it was already downloaded.
“I think Ethan already did this”
She opened it and copied her login details. She successfully logged in and was surprised to see so many notifications and messages.
Her account was already verified with a blue tick and her image was displayed as her profile picture.
She checked her followers and saw six hundred thousand followers (600k).
“Omg”
She was surprised. She opened her messages inbox which contained a lot of messages.
💬 Hi, is this the real Lauren Quinn?
💬Wow, it’s an honor to be in the same chat box with you
💬I think this is a fake account, Lauren Quinn h@tës social media
💬Hi, I’m Maxwell from the UK, can we meet up and talk about businesses?”
She kept reading scrolling down through the endless and hundreds of messages. She became tired of it and put off her phone, placing it on the small cabinet beside her bed.
She lies on the bed and faces the ceiling. She sighed and her mind went back to what Alex asked her.
💭”Do you like someone?
His words ring in her head.
“Of course yes”
I love Ethan”
Lauren said loudly with frustration.
“I do love him”
She sadly said again and wanted to cry.
“I do love him…
She keeps saying till she dozes off”

(The next morning)
Everyone was shaken by Luke’s arrival. He came out of his black Rolls Royce vehicle like a king. He wore a blue tuxedo with a fitting red tie.
Everyone would guess he is here to mean business. Some are glad they would have a new strict CEO and some are sad they are going to miss Lauren so much.
Luke walks into the building as everyone watches him. Miss Ellie.
“Good morning, Mr Luke”
She said.
“Morning… Luke smiles as he keeps his hands in his pocket.
“I knew you didn’t want me to be here but here I am, as your CEO”
Luke said.
Ellie just smiled.
“Can we skip this and get down to today’s work? We have a lot of things to do”
Ellie said.
“Hey, I just arrived.
Don’t rush me”
Ellie just sighs and walks away.

(Back at Lauren’s residence)
Lauren sat down idled and bored in her living room. Alex had gone out.
Lauren just taps the screen of her phone gently as she stares at the news on the TV. The news about her maternity leave and Luke taking over Linde Plc.
She yawned and went through Ethan’s previous texts and chats on her phone.
She smiled as she read their past messages.
When they do ask of each other, the interesting topics they talked about.
🧩And now the question is, Is Lauren Quinn married?🎲
The words from the news on the TV draw her attention.
“Was she engaged talkless of being expecting a child?”
Who is the father?🎲
Lauren sighs and rub her little baby bump.
“It’s you and I against the world right now, little me”
She muttered.

~(Linde Plc)~
Everyone was seated in the conference room. Every single employee of the Linde Plc. The press and journalists were also inside taking pictures and filming the taking-over-ceremony, live.
Luke arrived in and adjusted his tuxedo before he sat down in front of everyone.
Someone came to him and handed him a mini microphone which he hung around his neck and ear to his mouth.
“Good to see everyone”
He said and adjusted his mouthpiece. He clears his throat.
“I’m Luke George, a very close cousin to Lauren Quinn… My cousin is on maternity leave cos of her pregnancy and her husband won’t want work stress for his wife and his baby”
Lauren Quinn had no choice but to go on maternity leave and would return in seven months.
For that period of seven months, I am to take over and continue her work so I need your cooperation, let’s build this company more than ever before.
Let’s show you all can stand and work for Linde Plc without her”.
Everyone began to clap.
Luke smile.
“Nice to meet you all, the administration department, the Welfare Department, recovery department, the Social department, the Marketing department, and every other department under Linde Plc”
He added and bowed down a little.
The clap continues.

(5pm)
Alex walked into the living room. He looked tired and stressed out.
Lauren noticed someone came in. The whole living room was littered with snacks, popcorn, and soda drinks.
“Wow…
What happened here?”
Alex was surprised.
“Did I miss a little party?”
Lauren smile.
“I was just bored, so I decided to watch TV and have some drinks”
“Oh…
Am sorry about your day, I guess your day must be boring”
Alex said and smiled.
“What’s with the regular smile?
Lauren noticed.
“Well,
I just want to tell you am here now”
“No, just go freshen up and rest. You tired and stressed out already”
She replied.
“Am going to get some sleep soon”
Alex sighs and walks to her. He held her hand and hugged her.
“I guess you’ve watched the news, Everything is going to be okay”
He said.
“I hope so”
“The world hasn’t known about us yet but they know about the pregnancy”
“Am aware”
She replied.
“So, how are you going to find the father?”
Lauren smile.
“Well, I decided not to find the idiot responsible for the pregnancy anymore.
“And why?”
“I want to keep the baby to myself, be a single mother, and live a peaceful and happy life, I don’t just want a more complicated one”
Alex smile.
“I love that”
He smiled and held her hand. He gave him a flirting look.
“Yeah, I needed to get a nap now”
She said and wanted to walk away until Alex held her hand.
He drew her to himself. He held her face and scanned it.
“You seem stressed, let’s go out for a drink”
“No, there won’t be a need for that, I just need some sleep”
She declined his offer before walking away.
Alex sighs.
“It’s just a matter of time, Lauren…
Am going to have you for myself soon”
He muttered.

(The next morning)
Ethan walked into Luke’s office without knocking. Luke saw it as a disrespect.
“Your hands can’t knock on my office door before entering?
Luke asked.
“Temporary this is your office, soon later, Miss Lauren will be back”
Ethan replied and put a file on the office table.
“Lauren gave me the file for some workings before she went on leave.
Am done with it, you can go through it before the submission”
“Alright, I will do that”
So How are our secrets? Are they safe?”
“Yeah, but it seems you can’t wait for the world to know mine”
Ethan replied.
Luke just smiled.
“I guess you are right”
“I also can’t wait for yours to get out…
What’s your mission here?
“What mission are you talking about?
Luke pretends to be confused.
Ethan placed both hands on the table and looked at Luke in the face.
“You and I both know you are here for something, you once wanted Linde Plc.
So now you have it, what’s your mission?
Luke smiled and stood up from his office chair. He puts his hands in his pocket and walks to Ethan.
“You asked what’s my mission right?”
“Yeah”
Ethan replied giving him a straight face.
“I already achieved that, Ethan Baker”
He said and folded his arms.
Ethan seems confused and realizes what Luke is talking about.
“You are now the CEO of Linde Plc”
Ethan said looking at him with a suspecting look.
“Yeah,
He smiles.
“Lauren can’t take over as the CEO after the maternity leave”
Ethan added.
“There we have it”
Luke replied smiling widely.
“Oh f*ck”
Ethan muttered. He was shocked.
Lauren won’t be able to return to Linde Plc.
TBC…
