Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue novel Chapter 33

Nancy decided to speak to her boss concerning the accommodation he had earlier offered. She had thought that he would repeat the offer but he had not, leaving her to chose the way she wanted to live and where.

Her pride had been in the way and she had resisted giving in and had even thought of renting her own little apartment but she knew that she would spend have to spend some good money to get a passable place, if the amount she was paying in her hell hole was any indication.

She felt that it would be wiser keeping all the money she could for her baby's upkeep when she eventually had him or her. She hoped it would be a girl because she didn't want a boy. They were known to be very troublesome but girls were adorable and she would protect her from this cruel world and teach her never to be too trusting especially of the male folk.

That day, after telling her boss the appointments awaiting him for the day, she decided to speak to him.

'Sir, I would like to have a word with you', she said.

If Jason was surprised, he did not show it but he did wonder what she wanted to talk to him about. Had she got another place she would rather work or had the run away lover decided to take responsibility?

'You can come into my office because from the tone of your voice it sounds like something you would like to discuss in private', he deduced.

'You are right sir. I will come right away', she said and arranged her desk to look tidy before knocking on the adjourning door and walking briskly in.

It was already the end of the month and Anna had left her to carry out the duties herself, as agreed though Jason had been skeptical. Not because he doubted her capability but because he didn't want her doing too much and hence stressing herself in her delicate condition.

'Good morning sir, I, well... you see...'

She did not know how to start it. Her pride was still holding her back brut she thought of all the explanations that had led her to the decision to take him up on his offer and gained courage. Meanwhile, Jason was busy looking at her, not knowing why she was flustered. He was sure his assumption that she was about to leave the establishment or her lover had decided to stand by her as a man was the cause. He decided he was not going to make it easy for her. So he just stared at her while she struggled to get the words out.

'Well sir, you did say that I could come live in your staff quarters ', she blurted expecting him to affirm the statement but he did no such thing just continued to stare at her and she started thinking that she may just have made a mistake and the accommodation was no longer available.

'I was wondering if the quarters is still vacant or is it no longer available?'

Jason was surprised at the question.This meant that she had decided to take the up his offer. But he did not even flinch.

'It depends. Why do you ask?'

'Well, it is already end of the month and the greedy landlord is already asking for the rent of the following month. I felt that it would be better taking up the quarters you offered than paying him to stay in that slum. Moreover, like you have rightly said, I could use the money for something else and I felt that I would rather pay you the rent than the man

He had even annoying lately, making slide and lascivious remarks at me.

I felt too that it would be a waste of time and energy looking for a good place that would also be close to my work place so that I do not go late to work or spend extra money on transport's, she said and took a deep breath.
