Fish Is Caught by Its Mouth
Kelly’s POV
Because of Mrs. Anderson’s strange plans and Snow’s operation pair me up with Pierce. I was driving my car silently while Pierce was sitting in the passenger seat beside me. I know that he didn’t get his mom’s plan at first but when he noticed it, he immediately sided with them.
*Kelly…”
I glanced at him and realized he’s staring at me. I swallowed hard and bit my bottom lip. I suddenly want

“May I go with you whenever you need to visit your doctor?”
It’s about my pregnancy. Thinking about visiting a doctor while he’s with me makes my heart flutter. I’d
want that too.
I smiled. “You don’t need to ask me about that thing.
He smiled. “Thank you. Uhm… Are you really going? To vacation this weekend?”
“Why not?” I glanced at him. “It’s time for me to unwind.”
“How about your investigation?”
“I want a day or two away from the problem. Why? You don’t wanna invite me?”
“What? Of course, I want you to come I
vill make me very happy actually.”
I parked the car in front of his company and looked at him. I smiled. “I’m going. Just tell me the time.” He nodded and smiled. “Snow likes being with mom and dad. She’ll stay with us for a while, right?”
I stared into his eyes. “For as long as she wants to.”
“Thank you, Kelly.”
“It’s your right.”
“Huh?”
| blinked multiple times as I felt my heart skip a beat. It slipped off my tongue without realizing it. Oh God! “Uh… She treats you like her f–father. So… I think it’s just right to let her spend time with you and your family.”
He stared into my eyes. “You won’t change your mind with me, right?”
I took a deep breath and slowly shook my head. “No…”
He gently held my hands and caressed it. My heart skipped a beat when he kissed the back of my hands and smiled at me. “Thank you for the ride, Kels. See you..”
watched him get out of my car while my heart was beating so fast.
I was about to drive off to my company when I spotted a familiar woman looking at my car through the side mirror. It’s Lexi and anger immediately drove me to get out of my car to confront her. However, she suddenly disappeared while I’m getting out.
I balled my fists. That woman will never stop until she gets what she wants. I can’t believe she could do that thing out of desperation. Obviously, she’s planning to get herself pregnant with Pierce’s child but I

won’t allow her to get what she wants even if she gets pregnant.

Annoyed, I drove to my company. I wasn’t in the mood when I attended the meeting and after that, I was. informed by my assistant, Yara, that I have a visitor waiting for me in my office.
Sara Foster was waiting when I entered my office. This is my father’s company and I didn’t expect that she’d come here again.
“To whom do I owe this visit?” I started as I walked towards my swivel chair and sat there, looking at her face with a blank expression.
She lifted her chin. “I’ll accept your terms.”
The corner of my lips rose. “Hmm. Are you sure?”
She gritted her teeth. “I want a position in my mother’s company, Kelly.”
I crossed my legs and looked at her intently. “I’m expanding the hotel. I want to open a new branch and I want you to manage it.”
Her eyes widened. “What?”
I shook my head, “You don’t want it?”
“Of course, I want it. But why are you trusting me?”
“Simple…” I rested my back on the swivel chair. 1 want a big favor, Sara. A big favor for a high position.”
“What do you want?”
