Sherlyn didn't expect Nina to be so observant, so she had to be truthful, "I'm... pregnant."
"What?" Nina exclaimed, lifting the sunglasses on her nose as she stared intently at Sherlyn with her pretty almond eyes in shock.
"The baby is Viggo's," Sherlyn added, and Nina almost fainted, raising her hand and starting to pinch herself for self-saving.
The answer was something she hadn't expected at all.
"We met at an event a while back, and I got drunk; he gave me a ride home and then just, just..." Sherlyn was crestfallen even as she mentioned the incident, "I didn't think then that I'd get pregnant by one night."
Nina took a few deep breaths against the wall, and when she looked up and saw a cafe in front of her, she took Sherlyn and said, "Let's go and sit there. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Sherlyn rolled her eyes, "Is there anything you can't handle in the world?"
"To be honest, I can't stand this stuff." Nina walked away breathlessly, holding onto the wall.
She thought she had had a difficult life growing up. As an adult, she'd been involved in the messy entertainment world, so she'd experienced just about every outrageous thing, but she couldn't imagine Sherlyn and Viggo being associated in this way.
Sherlyn had been with her for years at Tymers Entertainment, and if there had been a spark between her and Viggo, there would have been a spark, but it seemed like they had only been boss and subordinate these years.
Sherlyn's personality hasd always been one of those "men are not as meaningful as work", and Nina thinks she may not be interested in men or love.
Nina and Sherlyn found a quiet and secluded corner in the cafe and sat down. Nina ordered a cup of coffee and, considering Sherlyn's pregnancy, ordered a glass of juice for her.
When the coffee and juice came, Nina took a big sip of the coffee and then said to Sherlyn, "Come on, Agent Sherly, tell your story."
Sherlyn sullenly asked, "What other story can I have? I told you it was an accident."
"What are you going to do about the baby?" Nina asked in a lowered whisper, "Does Viggo know? What's his attitude?"
Sherlyn was a little bitter, "He knows, and he said to have the baby, and we get married."
"Ahem—" Nina nearly choked on the coffee in her mouth at Viggo's decision.
"He said he'd marry you? He, he—" Nina was at a loss about what she should say.
Viggo had had an ex-girlfriend when he was younger and hadn't had any more emotional entanglements since the break-up, except, of course, for a crush on Emelia some time ago.
But Viggo should have let go of Emelia a long time ago, but even if he doesn't have another woman in mind now, that doesn't mean he likes Sherlyn.
In Nina's mind, a marriage between two people is supposed to be emotionally grounded, so she is at a loss as to what she should say to Sherlyn.
Luckily, Sherlyn is a thorough one and says, somewhat self-deprecatingly, "I know what you're going to say; I was shocked to hear him say he plans to get married too."
Sherlyn recalled her visit to meet with Viggo as she recounted to Nina, "I went to see him once after I found out I was pregnant, the time Jillian Harrison and Rebecca Young went to mess with him."
