It was Wednesday of the following week.
“Hey babe. Pregnancy do look good on you.” Emily teased her bestfriend.
Ariana smiled brightly touching her still flat tummy. “If I knew you were planning on teasing me, I wouldn’t have come to visit.”
Ariana haven’t seen her bestfriend in a while so she decided to visit her during lunch. Emily is always so busy, she doesn’t even have time to date anymore. They were currently in Emily’s office having lunch.
“I was joking, missing you is an understatement at this point.” Emily pouted, “Why did we leave college? Life was so much easier.”
Ariana laughed at how childish her bestfriend is. “Speak for yourself.”
“I am flabbergasted. You don’t miss having me around since you knew what sex feels like. Look how much you enjoys it?” She dramatically points at Ariana’s belly.
Ariana’s glared at her and reprimanded angrily, “Can you shut up and eat before I eat it all off!” Ariana was always shy when it comes to the topic of Michael with others. Her sex life should be private.
“Okay, okay. Let us eat.” Emily retorted and Ariana sighed in relief.
Emily kept quiet for about two minutes tops before she starts again but this a bit worried. “What is going to happen after the contract is up?”
Ariana put down her utensils and exhaled, “Actually, things are different now. I haven’t mentioned it before because I didn’t want to talk over the phone.”
Emily stopped eating as well ready to go to war, “How different? Is he treating you bad? Tell me so I can go and cut him down.”
“Can you calm down for a second?” Ariana didn’t doubt that she would head right over to Matthews’ Group to create a scene.
“Don’t hide it from me girl.” Emily was ready to defend her friend at any cost. She had been through enough.
“I found my family.” She waited to get a response from her friend.
Emily face lit up. She was happy for her bestfriend that became a sister to her. “Where is your mother… wait… did you say parents as in mother and father?” her face turned into a look of confusion.
Ariana nodded. She proceeded to tell her what happen last Friday but omitted the parts about the upcoming plan. She knew Emily was impulsive and she would never agree to it.
“I can’t believe that the woman we thought was Michael’s mistress is actually your twin sister. But you guys only have a slight resemblance, how is that?” Emily was having a hard time processing the information but now she hated the Fearon family more than anything.
“We are fraternal twin, created from separate eggs. Samantha looks more like my mother and they said that I resembles my father but to be more specific I am the splitting image of his mother.” Ariana told her.
…
After Ariana got back to the company, Michael promised to bring her on a little trip after work.
They set off at four.
