Chapter Seventeen: Eve
I want to burst in and tell Matt that I'm pregnant. Itâs now or never. I signed that long-term contract, so Iâm legally bound to work at Denver Fashion for the next three years. Maybe this is my chance to put all of our disagreements in the past and try to find common ground for the future. For Babyâs sake.
But all I can do is stand there with my mouth open. Bella is giving Matt a sexy lap dance and it looks like heâs loving it. Iâm so embarrassed, and I feel like an outcast from the cozy little scene they have got going on behind the desk.
âThis isnât what you think, Evie!â Matt nearly tips Bella onto the floor as he tries to stand up. I can see the beginning bulge of an erection in his pants, and he does not attempt to hide it.
Quickly slamming the door shut, I make my apologies to Mattâs sweet-natured personal assistant. âS-sorry about that. I should not have just breezed in there.â
Mattâs assistant gives a tolerant sigh. âYouâll soon find out that when it comes to women, the bossâs door is always open.â
Moving back to my office as fast as I can, I mutter under my breath. âAnd thatâs not the only thing. Matt Denverâs bloody pant zipper is always open too!â
I was right, of course, about being pregnant. Dr. Morecambe told me that itâs completely natural for women to spot a little bit during pregnancy. She said it was nothing for me to get alarmed about. I was honest with her.
âDoctor, Iâm afraid that the spotting is the least of my problems. This is all a bit of a shock.â
Dr. Morecambe patted me on the shoulder. âYou would be comforted to know how many new moms come in here saying that, Mommy Eve. Now, is it possible for us to get Daddy in here? I need to take both of your medical histories so that I know that Baby is healthy and safe as they grow inside you.â
I can just imagine Mattâs face if I asked him for a medical history. âEr⦠heâs a patient of Dr. Carstens. Canât you get the medical records from him if I give you a name?â
My doctor shakes her head. âNo can do, Iâm afraid, Mommy Eve. They have to come from the Daddy direct. Would you like me to contact anyone on your behalf?â She gives me another squeeze on the shoulder. âYouâre only twenty-three, Eve. Itâs a big life-changer, having a baby. Can I call your mom or dad?â
Smiling mistily, I shake my head. âThatâs one thing I am going to have to do on my own, but thank you, Doctor.â
Weighted down with pamphlets about preparing the body for birth and the best nutritional diet for pregnant mothers, I walk back slowly to Denver Fashion headquarters. Summoning up all my bravery, I walk straight into Mattâs office⦠only to see my babyâs daddy getting all up close and personal with his ex-girlfriend.
