I did tell Harry about Sydney and how he's engaged. I told him about the interview. What I never told Harry was his name. I never knew that our paths would cross so often after that hospital incident and Harry gave me space and never inquired who the person is. Looks like he figured it out. After all Sydney is engaged to Bianca and he's a CEO and he spoke about the awkward meeting with him at the clinic some five minutes ago.
I look down at my fingers then back to Harry. "He is. He's the dad."
"I noticed how you looked at each other. You were holding you're tummy whenever he was around you know." He chuckled at that then went silent after that.
"Fucking asshole." Harry sounds so pissed and his knuckles turns white with the force he's using to grip the steering wheel. Harry hardly ever swears since my adoptive dad never liked it and since we were always around him, we kept it at a minimal. So we never swore to prevent the slip ups.
"Will you tell him?" He glances at me for a second before his attention is back to the road.
"No. He already has a fiance who's already expecting his child and I wouldn't want to destroy her. She seems nice enough." Harry takes in a deep breath when I say this.
"What about you? Don't you feel destroyed seeing them? I saw how you looked at him Isabella." OH! NO! He called me by name. He's so mad.
"I can now support myself and the baby with the money I have. We'll do just great." I feel like I'm convincing myself. But why? I don't even like the cheating bastard. What I feel is an... attraction? Yeah, must be an attraction. But why do I feel this way. Why do I want him here?
"What if that wasn't the case? Would you still never tell him?" I start feeling a headache form. I don't want to talk about Sydney.
"Well it's not the case." I snap. "I'll take up the position in C and S Company so I'll have a job and my baby will be fine economically." But what about emotionally? He or she will want its dad eventually. That statement hung around but never said.
Harry shuts up and drives in silence.

A week later
I have started practicing and learning about the company for about four days now.
Mr Keels tries to make me feel comfortable and I'm thankful for that. Being his PA for the past weeks has been so helpful and has somehow helped me understand some things.
I look up at the door and see Bill, my new PA who looks so shy. "Can I help you Bill?"
"Mr Kings wants to see you. He says he has some documents that needs to be signed immediately."
I let out a breath and massage my temples. "Can't he see Mr Keels? He's still the CEO." Bill fidgets with his fingers.
"Mr Keels sent him to you. He said he had an emergency that he needed to attend to." What? What kind of emergency?
I sigh. "Send him in." I take a glass of water and gulp it down to ease my nerves. Now what?
