Bond With The Billionaire's Baby

Chapter 8

I screamed up out of a terrible nightmare and I didn't realize I was already crying with Anna bursting into my room yelling my name and all she was able to do was to cuddle me up and Pat me back to sleep

I woke up to my alarm thankfully it didn't wake Anna up so I decided to make breakfast for both of us before going to work and after that I went to wake Anna so she can have her bath and I had mine too. We ate breakfast and I went to work on my way I grabbed a coffee for my boss hopefully he comes to work today. I parked my car and went into the elevator greeted Jane who told me Mr Martins was in an urgent meeting with a new client so I went into his office that still haven't changed since the last time I came in i wonder if he ever touches anything in this office because to me its always the same... I placed the coffee and saw a note on his table with my name on it. Curiously I opened it and read it

To Miss Williams

I'm in an urgent meeting now don't bother bringing coffee for me
Sort those set of blue files and send messages to few numbers you'll see in the office phone book via email
Then be ready at lunch we are going out for a business Lunch. That's all

So I headed to my office and sent those messages and after that I began sorting the files when the intercom blink with Mr Martins voice rings through it

Mrs Williams I need you in my office now..

Oh my God I'm not even done with theses files. I quickly got up and went to his office I knocked on the door and heard "come in"... I entered his office and without even allow him to speak I started ranting

"S... Sir I'm s....s..sorry but I'm not done sorting the files" I spoke nervously. He looked up and just continue to look at me while I continued rambling while he sat there smirking. Did he just smirk

"Calm down Ashley and sit" did he just call me by my last name. Then I sat down wondering what made him act like that. He cleared his throat and continued to scratch the back of his head like he was searching for what to say.

Ehmm Ashley I just wanted to apologize for the way I spoke to you over the phone. Immediately Remembering yesterday's conversation

The reason -... "Sir indeed I'm not supposed to meddle in other people's business. I'm sorry it will never happen again" I spoke firmly without allowing him to even start his statement

Somewhere somehow I saw disappointment written on his face but I couldn't figure out why.

"Okay. You may leave and be ready at Lunch" He said and dismissed me

What just happened

Few minutes to lunch break I got a text from my boss telling me to meet him downstairs at the parking lort. I headed down to see Mr Martins beside a Rolls Royce. "Impressive I murmured to myself

" Get in we don't have all time in the world" he commanded
S

uch an ass

The drive to the Restaurant was silent before Mr Martins spoke up

"You can turn on the radio if you want" he said glancing at me before returning his focus to the road

"Don't worry sir. I'm okay" I replied

"Please Ashley just call me Lauren" he said still looking at the road. Somehow I was shocked all I could say was "Okay s...ir I mean Lauren" and the silence crawled in again till we reached the restaurant.

As we walked in all I did was just admire the interior of this beautiful place. I haven't been out for a quite sometime now until a waitress walked up to us where I could notice her trying to flaunt her body towards Lauren which kind of made me angry

Then Lauren spoke "Reservation for Martins Lauren please"

"Yes this way please" the waitress said in a flirting tone and walked ahead of us moving her waist for Lauren to notice her which he didn't and somehow I was grateful for that

We approached a table and I could see few people where already seated so I quickly took a seat and Lauren took one beside me.

Thankfully Lauren decided to do all the talking

"Good day Mr Peter... How are you doing" Mr Peter Anderson was a man in his late Sixties and was a good client of Lauren

"Fine My son and how are you too"

"I'm good Mr Peter" Lauren replied

Turning his direction to me. "And who do we have here" he asked excited

"I'm Mr Martins secretary Ashley Williams sir....Nice to meet you" I said

WoW such a beautiful name for a beautiful lady and please just call me Peter. I'm not that old ?" he said making me laugh

" Okay let's get down to business shall we?"  Another man said and we all nodded

When it was time to take our order I found it difficult because I found some of the meal on the menu strange Lauren noticing the problem I had with the menu bailed me out and ordered the same thing he was having and I told him thank you

After eating the meal I found delicious. The men decided to talk business and I just sat there taking notes of things from the corner of my eyes I felt someone intense gaze on me and I'm guessing it was Mr Peter's secretary which I was not liking even when he saw I wasn't interested so I excused myself and went to the washroom after I was done I was washing my hands when someone called my name behide me then I turned

"Heyyy Ashley right". The lady asked.
Not sure but I found her face looking familiar

"yess how may I help you and have we met before?" I asked

Oh sorry we didn't get to exchange numbers that night remember?
We gave birth the same night. I'm Chloe Brown Carter

Yes I remember now. We met at the hospital when I went into labour but she gave birth before I did. So she was discharged earlier but we didn't get to see ourselves again

"Yes I remember now. How are you doing and how's your baby doing" somehow I didn't like this conversation

"All is fine and He's doing great too. How about yours and what did you give birth to" she asked

I stood there frozen remembering the incident of that night and how I didn't get to even see my baby but they told me I gave birth to a girl and tears ran down my face

Chloe immediately knew what was wrong and she pulled me into a warm hug and I continue to cry. It seems like yesterday

"Ashley I'm so sorry I didn't know" was all she said before I remembered that I left a meeting considering Lauren maybe worried or maybe angry

"Its not your fault"...Pulling a pen from my purse and writing my number on a paper and handing it to her "call me and nice meeting you too" and I left the washroom
