Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue novel Chapter 28

Anna did as her boss had instructed her. Being in charge of the office while Nancy learnt from her. She asked alot of questions and Anna answered them as best as she could.

Nancy observed and within a week she knew all there was to know about being Mr. Jason Campbell's personal secretary.

Jason was not satisfied and put her through alot of test which she passed very well.

'You are really a fast learner', he commented smiling appreciatively at her.

'I have to be to survive. I am a survivor, sir', Nancy said smiling in response. She was glad that he was not the kind of boss who was hard to please or who find it difficult praising or appreciating his workers when they have done something commendable.

'Even then,Anna will still stay in this office with you, observing you and putting finishing touches to her training of you'.

'But....' Nancy was going to object. Not because she didn't like Anna but because she felt that Anna had to go back to her own job and not do a double job while she, Nancy was just sitting idle earning, the kind of salary, Mr. Campbell had placed her on. She wanted to justify the money she was going to earn.

'No buts. That is my final decision

And while we are at it,what plans are you making towards getting a better apartment?'

'I shall live where I have been living for sometime until I can afford a better place of residence', she said defensively.

'Yes, but now that you work here, I cannot allow any of my staff to live in such deplorable conditions. That place is not got for any human being, key alone a pregnant one. So, I shall advance you your salary to get a change of wardrobe. You have to get clothes that are worthy of your position as my secretary and till you can get an apartment for yourself, you will have to come live in my house's, he said turning to go, his stance showing that he condole any objections but Nancy had to have her say.

'You are my boss sir, but that does not give you the right to take over my life,plan my life and take decisions for me. I am an adult and capable to taking care of myself as well as decisions concerning my life. How can you ask me to pack up and come live with you? What would your wife say, have you thought about that?'

Nancy was shocked. She looked at him with her mouth agape.

He regretted it as soon as the words were out of his mouth but he could not take it back and explaining himself would only make matters worse.

'You are not going to live insidey house. I have staff living with me and you will have a room in the staff quaters as well. It might not be what you want but it is definitely better than your present place of abode.I am not trying to impose anything on you and neither am I giving you charity, you work for me, so your welfare is of paramount importance to me. I would do it to any other person as well. You do not have to worry, your honour is intact where I am concerned', he said and left.

Nancy could not get over all he had said. She slumped I to a chair and cried. She supposed she deserved it. She was already pregnant with no father for her baby and she was still concerned about what people would say if they found out she was living with her boss? She just had not expected him to be so insensitive. The way he blurted it out was not flattering at all. She had a mind not to accept his offer but she had to put her pride aside and think about the welfare of her baby. She never doubted that her honour was safe with him though she was beginning to soften towards him because of the kindness he had shown and was still showing her. She knew that not every one would do for her what he had done and is still doing and instead of being grateful, she was fighting him.

She was not going to agree just yet. He had hurt her with his words and she was not going to forgive him that easily.
