Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 384

Kira had to think on her feet. 

She faced Vanessa and smiled at her. ‘Since you saw it, there’s no point in denying it anymore, Yes, I got out of the president’s car.‘ 

“You did?‘ Vanessa’s eyes widened. 

Kira nodded, feigning seriousness. ‘Do you know why? 

Vanessa stared at her, open–mouthed 

‘I got out of his car because he and I–the president and 1–have been having an affair.” 

Vanessa’s jaw dropped. 

‘A steamy, passionate affair. We can’t keep our hands off each other. In fact, we got married a year ago. I’m no longer Kira Hewitt. I’m Mrs McCarthy.” 

Vanessa stood still as a statue. 

When she finally moved, she reached out a hand and touched Kira’s forehead. 

“Are you running a fever?” 

“No, I’m fine. Why?” 

‘Then why are you spouting nonsense as if you’re delirious?” 

‘It’s not nonsense. I’m telling you the truth!! 

Vanessa snorted. ‘Sure. If you’re Mrs McCarthy, then I’m Mrs Clooney.‘ 

“I think that position has already been filled.” 

‘Still, one can dream.” 

o you don’t believe me?‘ 

‘Do I look that gullible?” Vanessa rolled her eyes. ‘Why stop with the marriage? Why not go ahead and say you have a child with him?‘

to the hospital for a checkup.” 

Kira lowered her eyes and offered a bashful smile. ‘The doctors told me I’m two months pregnant. It’s Mr McCarthy’s baby. Vanessa gave Kita a playful swat on her arm. ‘Stop pulling my leg! You’re even more delusional than me. 

Mr McCarthy, aka Mr McDreamboat, was the man of every woman’s dreams. 

He belonged to everyone and no one 

Kira breathed a quiet sigh of relief when Vanessa 

Bullet dodged, for now. 

a moved on to other topics. 

If her relationship with Austyn came to light, Kira didn’t think she would be able to find any peace at the office. 

She might be forced to leave the company. 

Luckily, Vanessa couldn’t be sure of what she saw. 

It was the morning rush hour. 

There were plenty of pedestrians and cars about. 

Kira vowed to be more careful next time. 

If Austyn insisted on driving her to work, she would request a stop at least five blocks away from the office building. 

Her day at the office passed quickly. 

Kira was swamped with work. 

She got another call from Dr Morrison at six pm 

‘Miss Hewitt, the man is here again” 

‘He’s there right now? 

‘Yes. He actually showed up at noon, but left before I could call you. Now he’s back.” 

The doctor was whispering 

He was hiding in the stairwell to make the call, keeping an eye on the stranger. 

‘I thought of having security escort him off premises, but he could be a relative or a friend, so I held back” 

‘Thank you, Doctor. Can you stall him? I’ll be right there.” 

“Sure! 

Kira was already out of her seat when she hung up the phone. 

She saved her documents on the computer and swept her belongings into her bag. 

‘Hey, what’s the rush? Vanessa called after her. ‘I was thinking we could have dinner!” 

‘Sorry, gotta go!” 

Then Kira thought of something and turned around. “I just got a call from the president. He’s taking me out to a three–star restaurant for a romantic dinner.‘ 

Vanessa tossed a balled–up tissue at her. ‘Get your head out of the clouds!” 

Kira jogged off, laughing 

Vanessa shook her head at her deranged colleague. 

Kira flagged down a taxi and headed straight for the hospital. 

Rush hour traffic moved at a snail’s pace. 

Kira tapped her foot and resisted the urge to wrest the steering wheel from the driver. 

She jumped out of the taxi before it came to a complete stop and bounded 

Dr Morrison was in his office.

the stairs. 

He reassured her that her father was doing well. 

‘He could wake up one day. Don’t lose hope.” 

Kira no longer jumped for joy at the familiar refrain.
