‘I swear, I’m not here for the drama. I’m genuinely worried about you.”

Jaxon Rivers raised three fingers to the sky, looking more serious than ever.

The baby in your belly is a life. You’re connected by blood; he’s your own flesh and blood. Being separated from your child would be a lifelong regret. I shouldn’t have been such a scumbag and treated this like a joke before. I’m here to protect you this time. Just tell me if you need anything.”

He tapped his chest with his other hand.

When that devilishly handsome face turned serious, it actually carried some weight.

Thank you,” Mia Carter replied flatly.

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Jaxon; she just didn’t need his help.

The waiter looked at her with gossipy eyes. “Is he a suitor or your boyfriend?”

Mia locked her phone. “He’s my debt collector.”

‘Who was it?” Stella asked, following Mia as they stood up to leave.

‘Just a friend.”

Stella teased, “How come I don’t have friends like that? Paying for lunch in secret and worrying about your health.”

Ms. Carter,” the secretaries chirped before scurrying away like they were fleeing a crime scene.

way, while I was getting tea, I heard some rumors,” Stella said. “People are saying you offended Mr. Hale and that your position is finished. It had to be Julian Cole spreading that!”

Bad news travels fast. In just one morning, the whole office knew.

While they talked, they entered the building and waited for the elevator.
