Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 148

Back in the loo, Janet was clinging on the toilet bowl as she tossed her cookies.

Nell scurried in and the sight of Janet in turmoil basically confirmed her suspicion. Her heart felt for her in that moment.

She shuffled out to pour her a glass of water and came back with some paper towels as well.

While patting her back, Nell expressed concern. “How are you? Are you alright?”

Waving her arm in the air, Janet shook her head.

It took a while before Janet found her voice. “I’m alright, it’s okay.”

Janet took a sip from the glass of water Nell handed her, gargled and wiped her mouth with the paper towel. After she was done, she said, “I’m sorry to ruin your evening.”

Nell shook her head. “What are you saying? You’re the one in pain, why apologize?”

She paused before furiously enquiring, “Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing? What’s going on?”

Janet stared at her. Knowing that Nell had her suspicions, Janet bit her lip.

After a while, she answered, “As you can already tell, I’m pregnant.”

Nell nodded. “I guess anyone can tell by your strong reaction.”

The smile Janet had plastered on her face spoke of endless desolation.

“I fell out with my dad because of this.”

Nell frowned. “What happened? Why did you have a fallout with your father? Who’s the child’s father? Why isn’t he coming out?”

“The child’s father...”

Janet mumbled under her breath before flashing a bleak grin.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about it. Nelly, can you help me keep this secret?”

Nell grimaced, annoyed towards Janet’s avoidance about the father in question.

However, she was also aware that Janet was an adult. If Janet had made up her mind about not telling anyone, she as a friend should respect her decision.

She sighed and nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about this but what do you plan to do with the child? You can’t hide your tummy forever. You’re shooting a film everyday too!”

Janet stared into space, her eyes a blank.

After a while, she shook her head. “I don’t know but this shoot will be completed in another two months. I’ll try to keep it under wraps so that no one finds out. As for the future... I’ll play it by ear!”

The furrow between Nell’s brows deepened.

Nevertheless, Nell aided her out without a word.

They returned to their seats, albeit in a rather different frame of mind.
