Reagan POV

“Honey, you’re gonna have to go home sometime.”

Sam raised his eyebrows up at my feet on my desk as I sat there stuffing Hostess cakes into my mouth. I probably looked a little more than less than attractive right now. My hair was pulled up on the top of my head as I wiped the creamy white filling from the cake off my blouse that looked like it needed to be washed. My skirt was ripped, I think it had something to do with Louis or Josh. I sleep with so many people apparently, so why knows?

“I will”, I said with my mouth full, “When I finish these papers.”

“What papers? Our new client doesn’t come in till Thursday. And, I’ve already finished with the paperwork cancelling business with Skylar and Laci. Actually, I told you that you didn’t even need to come in to work today, so why are you here?”

“Because I have like having money.”

“You could’ve stayed home and made the same amount, Reagan. Plus, your boyfriend’s rich. The money that I pay you must be pocket change compared to how much he makes in simply an hour.”

“So many things wrong with that sentence. First of all, don’t refer to him as my boyfriend. Yes, we’re still together, but considering the reason why he’s in there in the first place, who knows how much longer that will last?”

“Well, that’s a shame”, Sam rolled his eyes, “You actually think he did it?”

“Second of all, I don’t take money from the people that I’m with. You know that about me.”

“I knew that about you when you were married to Louis who is broke. You’ve never been with a billionaire. I made new assumptions.”

“Third of all, I need to work. I need to work to keep my mind off of the disaster that is my life. So, pay me. Don’t pay me. I couldn’t care less, but I’m not leaving until I feel like it.”

“Does this have to do with the fact that Josh’s court date is tomorrow?”

“No”, I lied.

Sam laughed and crossed over from in front of my desk. After sitting down on my desk and ignoring when I pulled my hand away from him, he looked me in the eye.

“Love, what’s really going on? You’ve been frantic for a while.”

As much as I wanted to keep this to myself, I couldn’t. It wasn’t my secret to tell, but he was probably the only person that I could trust to not make a big deal out of it. Maybe he could give me some clarity on the situation.

“Sam, can you keep a secret?”

“Depends.”

“On?”

“On how juicy it is and if it concerns me.”

“Sam, I need you to promise me that this stays between you and I. You can’t tell anyone.”

“Ooh! This is juicy! Tell me now.”

My trust that he would leave this a secret was dwindling by the second, but I needed to tell someone. Even if it was the blabbermouth known as my boss.

“Okay”, I blew my breath and focused my gaze on my desk, “Louis has another child.”

“WHAT?! You’re pregnant?! Well, you have been looking a little chubby lately. I’m not one to say that, but you needed to know. That’s massive! But, how could you have gotten pregnant if Louis is still missing?! That must means that you know his location. You know where he is! You sly little devil! How many secrets are you keeping from me?! Re-.”
