【MISS PREGGIE】
~WARD_YUN’S HOSPITAL ~
Karen let out a sad smile as she took her mother’s hand, she exhaled deeply lost of words to say.
“Mom” She began, her voice was quivering as she spoke. She bit her bottom lips trying to prevent her tears from falling.
“The doctor said that the oxygen mask would be removed soon and I can’t do anything about it. I have no money on me, I lost my job a few days ago. Why are things this difficult? Why did it seems like the heavens is taking it out on me? I can’t even afford your bills no matter how hard I try, this… this is too much for me to bear. I…. I’m so sorry, I wish things were different” She bursted into tears.
She just can’t seem to give up on her mom that way. She had been paying for the life supporting machine since she was in high school by doing lots of partime jobs. She saved up and enrolled herself into college. It became really hard to balance her school life and working life that she almost quitted school but Lucinana intervened and helped her out since she was from a rich background.
She was still lost in her thoughts when the door opened and Lucinana and Kimora rushed into the ward. Karen quickly wiped her tears but there were still traces that she cried.
“Karen!” The both called.
“What…. what are you both doing here?” Karen asked, sniffing in continuously.
“Well, we saw your phone and the text from the hospital and here we are. Why didn’t you tell me?” Luciana inquired with furrowed brows.
“I… I don’t want to seem like a burden in any way. You both have done enough for me already and I can’t ask for more” Karen replied playing with her fingers.
“Tsk, what are friends for if not to help each other in times of distress? I just see the doctor and I’ll do what I can do okay?” Luciana said.
“But….
“Not buts! Fine, just take it as if I am lending you the money okay? And you’ll pay whenever you get it, is that fine by you?” Luciana said to Karen who just nodded her head.
“Thank you so much guys, I don’t know what I would have done without you both” She mumbled almost close to tears. Kimora pulled her into a hug, patting her shoulders comfortingly.

~LUCIANA’S APARTMENT~
“So…. what do you think about this one?” Kimora inquired, twirling around s£xily. She gave Karen a wink.
“Great” Karen replied not sparing her a glance, her gaze was on her phone the whole time. She had been looking up to several job vacancies for a place she can apply.
“No…. definitely not that, you can take any of my dresses but not that one” Luciana exclaimed coming into the room with thr_@ts glasses of orange juice.
“Why? It fits you perfectly well” Kimora pouted sadly.
“My boss was the one who got me the dress so it’s special to me. Just take another one okay?” Luciana said going closer to Kimora and she helped her with the zip.
“Lucy! Don’t you think it’s high time you stop crushing on this boss of yours! You’ve been crushing for him ever since you started the boss but he hasn’t looked your way yet, isn’t he noticing the green lights? Or perhaps, he had had girlfriend already” Kimora said.
“He is very much single” Luciana retorted.
“How did you know? You sound so confident”
“Because I am his secretary and I know virtually everything about him. He hasn’t even looked at a woman before ” She answered.
“Maybe he is gay?” Kimora said rolling her eyeballs.
“What!!?”
“I’m just saying, and who knows? It might be true” Kimora said, fixing herself in another dress of Luciana.
“What’s the occassion? Where are you going to?” Luciana asked, cleverly changing the topic.
“It’s a date!” Kimora giggled.
“A blind date again? When are you going to stop doing all of these? You should stop using that app too! And focus on reality” Luciana snapped.
“Don’t marry, date is the best dating app ever, I just haven’t met my exact type of man. Who knows I might be lucky today? What if we have a night stand? Gosh! I’m already imagining a lot of crazy things about the whole thing” Kimora said.
“You’re so unbelievable! Just leave, good luck with wh@ťěver” Luciana said going to sit on the bed beside Karen.
“It’s so hard to find a well paying job!” Karen whined, dropping her phone. She grabbed the orange juice and gulped down the content.
“Why don’t you start small? Just to keep yourself together, I’ll look up for vacancies in the conglomerate and I’ll surely out in good words for you” Lucinana suggested.
“Thank you, Lucy” Karen pouted, resting her head on Luciana’s shoulder.
“For everything” She added in a low voice.
“It’s fine, I want nothing but the best for you” Luciana said stroking her hair fondly.

~EVENING_LANCELOT ESTATE HOME~
“Does it have to be today?” Yasmine whined as soon as the car drive into the compound.
“C’mon babe,I thought we both agreed to this” Andrew said helping her with her seatbelt.
“But i feel like I am being rushed” Yasmine complained.
“Seriously? We are getting married soon and it’s only proper we know each other families. We can’t just appear at their doorstep with a marriage invitation” Andrew said trying to make her see reasons with him.
“Wh@ťěver!” She rolled her eyeballs, getting down from the sleek, black Rolls-Royce phantom. Andrew chuckled lightly at her attitude.
*
“Oh” Granny Brenda said before going back to her food. Andrew had actually introduced Yasmine to her.
“Just oh?” He raised a brow.
“What else are you expecting me to say grandson?” She retorted with a slight frown.
“Nothing really” Andrew replied faking a smile. He stood up from his seat.
“Can I….. can I see you inside briefly?” He asked Granny Brenda who just nodded her head standing up.
*
“You don’t like her, do you?” Andrew inquired as soon as they were out of the earshot of Yasmine.
“I never said that Grandson” She retorted.
“But your attitude says it all! You don’t sound enthusiastic as you should be as I introduced her to you. You’ve been the one nudging me to get a wife and now…..
“I just don’t feel right around her” Granny Brenda cuts him off.
“But if you feel that she is the right one for you then….. you have my support, your happiness is all that matters most” She added.
“What about her don’t feel right? Yasmine is a very good person” Andrew said.
“I just don’t know…. I can’t pinpoint it but it’s fine anyways. If you are okay with her then, I should be too” Granny Brenda said with a smile. Andrew let out a deep grunt before walking out of the room.

~NIGHT_LANCELOT PENTHHOUSE~
Yasmine pushed off Andrew’s hand mumbling incoherent words to herself.
“Babe, are you seriously going to be this way?” He inquired
“Your granny doesn’t like me, does she?”
“It’s I who wants to marry you and not her, besides, she is cool with it” Andrew replied.
“But still, I want to be in a place where I am accepted” Yasmine said.
“Fine, let’s just give her time. I’m sure she will come around” Andrew replied pulling Yasmine closer to himself. She rested her head on his broad chest. She suddenly gasped as she realized something.
“I contacted the designers and my wedding dress is ready. I am going to check it out tomorrow, I’m feeling excited” She said beaming in all smiles.
“Alright” Andrew answered giving her a light peck on her lips.

A WEEK LATER
~LANCELOT CONGLOMERATE~
“You have a meeting scheduled by 10am and then a lunch with the investors of the project by 1pm, that’s all for the day since you covered almost everything yesterday” Luciana said reading from her tablet.
“Okay, you can leave” Andrew replied without soaring her a glance.
She bit her bottom lips as she got lost staring at him; he had the first three buttons of his shirt opened revealing his chest. His ever perfect face which always seems to enthralled her to him. He is just too perfect and handsome.
“Do you have anything to say, Miss Luciana?” He asked and that jolted her out of her thoughts.
“Do you want coffee or a massage? Or perhaps you should take take break, you seem stressed out and it’s not good for your handsome face” She said with a smile. Andrew raised a questioning brow at her words.
“Oh my!” She quickly covered her mouth with her hand as she realized what she just said.
“I’m so sorry sir, that must have slipped out of my mouth. I’m really sorry” she apologized almost immediately.
“Just get out” He cuts her off before averting his gaze back to his computer.
Luciana bowed hurriedly before stepping out of the office. She went to her desk which was just opposite his, dermacated by a transparent blind. She had the opportunity to admire his face as much as she can. No matter how long she stares, she just never gets tired of seeing his face.
“I love you Andrew Lancelot, I hope you notice me soon” She muttered to herself sighing deeply.

~YUN’S HOSPITAL~
Karen stirred up slightly only to feel a banging headache, she let out a groan, falling back to the bed.
“Are you okay? How are you feeling now?” Kimora inquired.
“How… how did you get here?” Karen inquired.
“The hospital called me and I had to rush down here…..
Kimora’s words were cut short as the doctor came in.
“We’ve conducted out our test and the results is out. You’ve been over stressingyourself lately and it’s not good for your health” The doctor said.
“I knew it would come to this, you go from one part-time job to another. You should really cut some slack” Kimora cuts the doctor off. Karen just sighed deeply.
“And the baby” The doctor added.
“Huh?”
“Congrats you’re officially a miss preggie” The doctor said with a smile.
The girl’s eyes widened immediately.
“What!!?”
