“Lu…Lucy?” Rowen’s eyes twitched.
He swallowed hard and looked around. Tasha just went into the company ladies room.
“What are you doing here?” He asked coming closer.
Everyone who were there bowed their heads and greeted her.
“Why? You don’t want me here?” She raised a brow.
“Nope. That’s not what I’m saying. I…You know…I’m quite flustered you are here…suddenly” He chuckled, nervously.
Lucy smiled and walked up to them, she rounded her arm around his waist.
“Do you mind if your wife tags along?” She asked.
Leah briefly looked at her.
“Leah…Leah. This…This is Rowen’s wife” Gerald said.
“Ssh” Leah hushed.
“Oh! Is that your new secretary?” Lucy asked, holding her husband closer.
Rowen swallowed hard and forced a chuckle. They all looked at Tasha who was descending from the stairs.
“Should I say hello?” Lucy whispered.
“Doctor?…What are you doing here?” Tasha asked, coming closer.
“Stop calling me that. I’m Lucy” She faked a smile.
“Oh,,, So…What are you doing here? Did anyone invite you?” Tasha asked.
Lucy looked at her, with smuggery.
“I did” Rowen voiced out.
“Rowen? You…did?” Tasha asked.
She looked at Lucy’s arm which was around him.
“How do you two know each other?”
She asked, slowly.
“Huh….” Rowen couldn’t say more.
“Actually, I’m his-
“Wait!! Lucy. Let’s talk in private,, please”
Lucy looked at him with a smirk.
“Alright then. Let’s go”
“Give us a minute. We’ll be right back” Rowen said, and left with her.
Tasha walked closer to Leah.
“Do you know they are acquainted to each other?”
Leah faked a small laugh.
“I…I…Let’s hear from them first,,, should we?”
Tasha nodded.

“Lucy?? What’s with you?” Rowen asked, breathing fast.
“I should be the one asking you that. What’s with you?? You’re being odd” She replied.
“I’m sorry but I guess its cause of the stress lately. Why not go home first? When,,, I come back…we’ll talk better. Besides, Darren will be waiting for you”
“Darren? Do you really care about him? Cause,,, If you did,,, You wouldn’t gave impregnated your mistress”
“My…My what?”
“Mistress!! She’s carrying your child!”
Rowen swallowed hard and glanced back.
“You found out? How?”
Lucy scoffed and then, sniffed.
“You thought I wouldn’t. I’m smart and it a long story too…”
“Stop all this now and we can start over again. I will pretend all this never happened”
“Lucy?? Please, I’ve gone too far. Its too late already”
Lucy looked at him. Her eyes were soaked with tears already.
“Why? Do you love her than me?? You have a son with me, Darren! Okay then,,, Let me end it. I’ll tell her everything” She tried walking away.
“Lucy…Please” He held her hand.
“Don’t tell her anything. She’s pregnant. What if she faints or even…dies out of shock. You are a doctor,,, think about her unborn baby”
“And you are my husband. Think about me and Darren”
“Please,,, Till she gives birth. Let me continue like this. When everything is over, You can tell her anything and everything…Certainly, not now”
“Wait,,, I wanna get something straight. You want me to pretend like…we aren’t married? You want me to act like I’m cool with your relationship with her?”
He scattered his hair, frustratedly and sighed deeply.
“Yes, For now,,, please!. Don’t worry, I won’t get too intimate with her, I promise”
Lucy bit her lower lip hard.
“Choose. Me or Her?”
“You! Lucy,,, it always you and you alone. You forever! I swear” He replied.
“If she asks, It her…huh?”
“Lucy…”
“Answer me!!”
He sighed deeply.
“Its just to make her believe I love her. I’m doing this for the baby”
“Then,,, you wouldn’t have impregnated her in the first place!!”
“Lucy. Please,,, quieten down”
“You want me to act on,,, with you, right??”
“If you can…” He answered, calmly.
“I have 2 conditions, then” She whispered..written by somebody pearl f
“What’s that? Just…tell me anything you want. I promise to grant it all, okay?” He said
“I’m tagging along. I wanna follow y’all to this fun trip”
“What?” He widened his eyes.
“Darren? Who will take care of him?” He asked.
“I’ll call one of my sisters to take care of him”
“Okay” He sighed, deeply.
“So,,, What’s the other one?” He asked.
“Let’s divorce after this fun trip. I’ll take the ownership over Darren”
“Wh…What?” His eyes turned glassy.
“Why? You wanna break your promise so fast?”
He swallowed hard and held her hands.
“Think well about the second one, huh? Please”
“Well,,, If I,,, your wife is treated well more than that…mistress during the fun trip. Then,,, I will have to consider it”
“Let’s go. The others are waiting” Lucy whispered and walked away.
A tear ran down Rowen’s eye. He wiped it off, hurriedly and sniffed.
“What am I doing, really?” He muttered before walking away back to previous scene.
“So,,, now…We’re 116 in number..I guess?” Rowen muttered.
“Yes” Tasha nodded.
“Let’s go in” Rowen forced a smile.
“Wait!!” Freddy walked faster while Phoebe walked closer.
“Pa Freddy!” Tasha waved with a bold smile.
Phoebe and her grandpa stood in front of them.
“I’m sorry we came late. My grand daughter took long to prepare” Freddy said.
“Its fine. Let’s go in” Rowen muttered and entered the bus. Then, Freddy followed.
Phoebe scoffed, somewhat angry.
“What’s up with his mood?” She thought.
“Hey…You’re Freddy’s grand daughter? No wonder,,, he has your eyes”
“He doesn’t. I don’t share anything with that old man” She said, and entered the bus.
“That was quite harsh?…Oh well” Tasha rolled her eyes and entered.
The bus was a 2 decker type. 3 seater set too.
Tasha walked up to Rowen who was sitting with Lucy already.
Lucy was looking out of the window.
Tasha sat close to Rowen and now, He’s in between the two women.
Tasha held his hand and looked at Lucy.
“Doc…Sorry,,, I mean…Lucy. Meet him. My boyfriend and the father of my unborn baby”
