Violet-Chapter-Twenty-Nine

6th November 2008

"For god's sake, I am done" Violet slammed down her phone on her desk. Elena looked up worriedly at Violet who slumped back in her seat with an annoyed look on her face.

"What's the matter?" Elenas asked putting the magazine she was reading to the side. Elena finished her work earlier than Violet and decided to wait for her in her office. Their friend Mary was visiting from France after she had moved there with her longtime boyfriend, Eli, around the time Violet and Nicholas began dating., they decided to have a late lunch together after Violet and Elena finished work.

"A lot of things are going wrong, the venue we will use for the Christmas collection is flooded and they need to change the entire flooring meaning there is a possibility we will not be able to use the venue, there was a fire in the west wing and we need to renovate. The headquarters in Los Angeles faced a robbery and Nicholas can not answer his bloody phone" Violet's voice raised at the end. She pushed off her chair and turned to face the window behind her desk. Elena knew the work-related problems but Nicholas not answering the phone was news to her, Nicholas would even leave an engagement to answer Violet's calls, not that she'll call him while he was working.

"Hey listen, how about I find a new venue for the event and call the maintenance for the fire?" Elena suggested standing up from the couch. The stress was evident in Violet's tense muscles. Violet sighed and leaned her head on her hand. The people outside were walking minding their own business and with way fewer problems than Violet, her mother was also acting unbearably after the attack on Violet a couple of months back, she needs a job. It was dumb closing the flower shop her mother owned, at least then she was busying herself with things other than Violet and her now irritated siblings.

"Please" Violet turned to look at Elena. It was obvious now that Violet's eyes were red from the little sleep she got the night before. Elena had a feeling that there was something else going on.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Elena asked stepping over to Violet. Elena placed her hands on Violet's biceps to comfort her.

"Nicholas is not answering because of what I told him yesterday" Violet admitted. Elena pulled Violet to sit back down on her chair.

"I told him that I was late" Violet looked up at Elena. Her body began shaking as she forced herself not to burst out crying.

"Oh my god" Elena gasped horrified. She took a step back and sat down on an ottoman just beside Violet's desk between two plants and a small bookshelf on top of it.

"I think he thinks I'm trying to tie him down but I am not sure, all I said was that my menstruation was late, it could be from a lot of other things" Violet argued with herself. Elena was just staring at her wide-eyed. Elena closed her eyes before she shook her head to snap herself back to reality.

"Listen Violet" Elena interrupted Violet before she can begin ranting again. Violet looked at Elena with teary eyes.

"I have some tests with me, if you want you can take one" Elena suggested. Violet sighed in relief, she was afraid of going to a pharmacy and getting a test, this could cause a scandal if the pharmacist told anyone that the prince's girlfriend bought a pregnancy test.

"Thank you" Violet jumped up from the chair and hugged Elena. Elena smiled at Violet before getting off the ottoman and went to the couch where her bag sat. She unzipped it and pulled out the test, they were digital which was easier to read. Elena pulled out one of the tests and held it out to Violet, Violet took notice that there was a test less in the box meaning it has been used.

"I'll be right back" Violet slipped into her private bathroom attached to her office. Elena decided to sit on the couch closest to the bathroom door and wait for Violet. It took Violet barely two minutes before she stepped out of the bathroom with wet hands deciding not to dry her hands after washing them, something she will regret once they begin peeling.
