Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue novel Chapter 46

Jason got home that night in a state of turmoil. He didn't know what to do. If Rebecca was to be believed, he had not married Terry after running up with him and getting him to sign the divorce papers he signed and getting the lump sum she had got out of divorcing him.

She had also not married any other person because like she said, her freedom meant more to her than being trapped in marriage to any man.

Therefore she might just not be after him. She might just want them to just be friends but the question was if he could afford to be friends with her? She had hurt him badly and nearly rendered bim bankrupt but that was not the issue. He had been destroyed when she deserted him and she was back and he found that he didn't really hate her as much as he thought that he did. In fact,he had enjoyed those few moments with her this evening and had to run off before his feelings betrayed him.

Then how could he remain detached if they came close?

But she had not even asked to be friends with him, why was he thinking that she would suggest that?

'Well because I know her very well. She would want to come close to me in the guise of friendship and gradually warm her way back into my life', he answered his own question.

He went in, and his helps were there to welcome him back and so was Nancy. She was looking fresh and good in her sleeveless top and Jean shorts. Any thing to divert him from thinking about Rebecca.

He went upstairs to wash and change and then came down for his dinner. He realised suddenly that he was famished.

As they ate, Nancy noticed that he was not really happy. He seemed preoccupied. After the meal, Nancy asked, 'What is the problem sir? You look very disturbed. Did your meeting go well?'

'There is really nothing the problem. I am just thinking about a business proposal'

Nancy did not know why but she felt that he had lied to her but kept quiet.

He still looked troubled and as he got up to go to the living room to put on the television set, she surprised herself by taking hold of his hands.

'Sir, I have come to see you as a friend. And I know that you are really bothered and I have a gut feeling that it is not about work. Business proposal my foot. There is something else troubling you. Please feel free to share your worries with me. A problem shared is half solved already'.

She said looking up at him imploringly.

Jason was shocked at her boldness. He knew that he had always been lenient with her mainly because of her delicate condition but he hadn't known her to be this bold and her hands holding his felt good. So good that he didn't want her to take it off.

He was surprised because he would ordinarily have taken the hand off his arm himself.

'Nancy, it might not be about work but it is personal and none of your business. Forget about it. Go and rest, for there is work tomorrow'.

Nancy took her hands off his and he immediately felt bereft and did not know why he felt that way.

' I must be getting old', he thought to himself.

Nancy did not know why she was bothered. She would have gone off because afterall, it was indeed not her business but she just could not let it go.

'I just said that you are not just a boss to me but a friend and about the only family I have at least here. I thought that you felt the same towards me. Share your burdens with me. You did not know me and yet you helped me with my troubles, let me at least offer you advice'.

Jason sighed. The girl was stubborn and he would not have shared this with any of his employees but he felt inclined to share this with Nancy. What harm could it possibly do?

'Come, let's sit. They sat close.

'I met Rebecca today at the luncheon ', he blurted before he could change his mind.

Nancy looked lost. How could seeing a woman affect him like that and who was Rebecca by the way?

Jason must have seen the question in her eyes for he immediately amended.
