The Noble Mage and Miss Sniper - MLBB Gusion x Lesley Fan Fic

47: Agreed

There are a few days left before the semester ends. Lesley now spends most of her time reporting for duty at the headquarters.

It was not a busy day so she had time to spare at the office. The General himself went to her station which surprised her. Vance, you have a visitor. He's waiting at conference 2.

She was confused because only a high-profile visitor would make the General call for his subordinates personally.

Got it, sir. Thank you. She stood up from her place and went to the conference room.

Upon entering the room, she instantly felt an uneasy aura, an intimidating one. She looked at the room and saw a fine middle-aged man sitting at the other end of the long table waiting for her.

Just as I thought. The famous, promising, Lesley Vance. A pleasure to meet you.

Lesley was just staring at the man, confused. I'm sorry, sir, but have we met before?

Ah, yes, my apologies for not introducing myself first. I am Gossen Paxley. I assume you're familiar with the name?

Lesley froze in her place. She touched her belly and mustered the courage to speak. C-can I help you?

Yes. I need you to stay away from my son, Gusion. I know that you two have something. Gusion is betrothed to Guinevere Baroque and we do not need a lowly weapon-wielding creature in the Paxley family.

Lesley was still holding her stomach and her heart was pounding with all due respect sir, Gusion and I are done, and you need not present yourself here.

Gossen Paxley stood from the chair. I know. I just want to remind you and put you back in your place. I just came here to make sure you're true to your words. I'm watching, Lesley Vance.

Also, just a friendly reminder, once I find out that you and Gusion are still connected or seeing each other, I'm telling you, wouldn't want to know what could happen and what the Paxley family can do. So if I were you, I'd stay quiet and stay away.

Lesley gritted her teeth. Don't worry, Mr. Paxley, I also don't have plans to associate myself with your family.

The head of the Paxley family smirked. Great. I'm glad we're on the same page.

Gossen Paxley walked towards Lesley and initiated a handshake. Lesley shook his hand and looked at his eyes.

It's a pleasure speaking with you, Miss Vance. Then he vanished into the air.

Lesley walked towards the table and sat on the chair. She was breathing deeply and barely holding her tears. She was sobbing in the conference room while holding her belly. She spoke to the baby that's growing inside her, I will make sure that you will not meet the Paxleys. 

Good thing that the conference room has a water dispenser. She drank cold water and calmed herself down. She wiped her tears and took several deep breaths. She stepped out of the conference room, went to the comfort room to fix herself, and went back to her station.

She was blankly staring at the window until her shift was done. While driving on her way home, she already thought of telling her family about her current situation.

As soon as she reached home she went straight to the garden because that's where her adoptive parents and Harley usually stay in the afternoon.

She approached them smiling and kissed them on their cheeks. She sat beside them and took a deep breath, gathering all the strength and courage she needed to tell them about her pregnancy.
