The Jamaican bad boy

Chapter 22- Devil's Advocate

Deidra POV

Two weeks later

Work has been a pain in the ass and the stress of everything has been weighing me down. Not being able to see damion for the last couple of days and this whole thing about being pregnant is really stressing me out.

I haven't gotten the chance to tell him because he has been so busy with his businesses and he was also off the island for the last two days.

I had a lunch date with shan and I'm more likely to cancel that. I just don’t want to talk to anyone right now.

I was sitting in my office when I got a call on my desk phone from the receptionist - - that I had a client that wanted to speak to me.

Telling her to patch the call through - - I answered the call ‘this is ms Mcpherson, how may I help?’

‘Hi Ms. Mcpherson, this is Lester Snr. I believed we met about seven months ago about some investment portfolios setting up.’ he said

‘Aww yes sir - - is everything going well with the accounts? 

‘Yes, it sure is” he replied

‘good, good to hear that - -those were some good investments you guys made - -so what can i do for you today?’ I said, awaiting his response.

‘Well to be honest Deidra, can I address you as deidra?’ he asked, ‘Yes you may’ i said

‘I have a deep concern - - one that involves you’ there was a long pause on the line - - ‘and what is that concern sir?’ i asked

‘Listen, I would very much like to see you in person so we can talk about this matter,’ he said. I was a little bit hesitant in agreeing to have this meet up as I remembered my last conversation with damion regarding his fathers stance about us.

So i agreed, ‘Sure’ i replied.

‘Would today be available for you?’ he asked, because I really wanted to just have this meeting out of the way and I was really curious as to what he had to say to me.

‘Yeah, today is good for me’, I answered.

‘I will set a 1pm reservation at Blue Window Restaurant at Pegasus Hotel, see you then Ms. Mcpherson’ he stated professionally as if we had just closed a business deal.

Now mi see why him and his son eva at it - - - he leaves no room from discussion as if his words are law. Rolling my eyes at his voice I just hung up the phone.

I was tempted to call damion to let him know of this meeting with his father, but i didn't as i wanted to know the nature of his meeting with me before.

Looked at the desk clock i see that it’s now 10:30am - - breathing out a heavy sigh as my day has not fully started and i’m already stressed the fuck out already.

I haven’t even gotten the chance to let Damion know that I am pregnant - - and this is by far the most stressful that I have been.

He has been busy with work - - and has been out of the island - - - and i just choose to wrap myself in work, which is now causing more harm than good.

I pushed back my chair from the desk to take a breather. I need to relax myself as I am no longer doing this for myself - - but for the little human growing inside of me.

Saying a little pep talk to myself - - - before the day is out, i will have to tell damion I am pregnant.

Gotta just put on my big girl panty
