Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue novel Chapter 27

When Jason got there, he found Nancy outside. He understood immediately the reason. She didn't want him inside. She looked as ashamed as she must feel and he swallowed the rebuke he was about to give her for not being truthful with him the other day.

'Good morning, Mr. Campbell'.

'Good morning Nancy. How are you doing today?'

'Very well thank you. Hope you are fine yourself?' Nancy asked politely.

'Yes. Have been better though'.

She heard something in his voice which she could not really explain but let it go. If it was something that she needed to know about, she was sure that he would tell her about it.

'Shall we? I can see that the woman I met yesterday relayed my message to you'.

'Sarah. Her name is Sarah and yes, she did'.

They were leaving when the woman in question came out and called out to them. Campbell knew that she wanted more money and he obliged her without waiting for her to ask. She needed it in any case if her living quarters and appearance was anything to go by.

'Thank you sir. Thank you very much

May your life be long and may the both of you find happiness'.

Nancy was about to tell her that they had no personal relationship but Jason stopped her. He didn't have the time for that type of discussion. Let her assume whatever she wanted.

'Okay. Have a great day', he said as he for stalled anything Nancy had been about to say.

On their way to where he parked his car, Nancy could not stop herself from saying, 'Why did you allow her think that there is anything other than a business or working relationship between us?'

'How would that have helped and do you think she would have believed it? Anyway, I didn't have the time to go into such arguments and clarifications. So I felt it was easier allowing things rest. Arguing with her might escalate the issue as more explanations I do not have time for would have been called for'.

Nancy understood perfectly, afterall she had not corrected the impression Sarah had made yesterday as well because she had just been too exhausted to argue.

'You are right', she said simply'.

'By the way where were you yesterday? You went out? I got the impression that you had no place to go, pardon my assumption'.

'There is nothing to forgive. Your assumption is right because I am actually new to this area but I had to go out in search of a job

I felt that I should help myself while waiting for any feed back from you and the friend you promised to speak to and I felt it could take up to a week or there abouts and I was not sure I could wait that long before earning'. Nancy explained as they got into the car.

'Please strap the seat belt', he said when it seemed she did not want to do that.

'Oh!' she interjected as she did as she was told. She had not been thinking about it. Not that she forgot actually.

'I came here take you to the office to get started with the job but you were not in. I waited but you didn't come home. You must have come back quite late, not that it is any of my business of course', he said curious to find out if she had been successful in her job search.

'I tried alot of places including apartments'.

'Apartments! Oh you were searching for a change of residence. That is good because where you stay is no place for a woman in your condition or anyone for that matter to stay'. he said thinking, 'Thank goodness she realised that she should move from that hellhole she is living'.
