The Family Man

Chapter 29

"What's wrong?" I dropped my bag and ushered Mary Ann in and closed the door. She was crying even harder. What happened? "Hush." I hugged her and she cried even harder. What ever happened must hurt horribly. Did it have something to do with Kevin?

"He...he...he..." She stammered. She cried even harder and Mary Ann rubbed her back to comfort her. "It hurts so much." Her head locked in my neck.

"What happened?" I asked again.

"He-he is married with a baby on the way." She hollered. The man she loved is married and with child. How could he do something like that to her? How could he be so heartless?

"How did you find out?" I asked. I don't like seeing people I cared about hurt.

"She called me and warned me. I asked him and he admitted it. I was a fool, but I still love him." She cried. I wanted to cry with her. He wounded her heart he should pay for the damages he has caused. How could he be so evil?

"Do you want to go home?"

"Yeah but we have a lot of work to do." She tried hard to pull herself together, but it wasn't working. She looked torn up. She could come over to my little sleepover on Friday. I could invite all my girlfriends to help me out.

"You don't need to worry about the work load. I could use your help though I am having a 13 year old over my house and I want to invite all my women friends for a sleep over." I explained. "Give me a minute." I rose from my chair and left the office to go talk to Ethan. I knocked on the door and then entered. His face looked furious.

"Uhm..." I cleared my throat. "Ethan can I ask you a favour please, it's for a good cause."

His face soften, but he still was angry. "What do you need?"

"Can Ally have the day off please she is going through something." I said to his curious eyes.

"What will I be getting from it?" He smirked.

"What do you want?" I asked nervously.

"Am I forgiven for yesterday?" He asked. He was more than forgiven and I didn't want to reminisce on the past. I wanted him to come back, but was too scared.

"Yes."

"So can I come over Friday and we have a little family time together." He looked expectant I didn't want to disappoint him. I can't delay on Brittany or Ally.

"Ethan I can't I am doing a little sleepover at the house to help a little girl." I explained. I didn't like telling him no. "But Saturday I am all yours." I smiled walking up to him at least he didn't bring up my ass on the magazine. I sat on his desk with a smile.

"What are you doing?" He asked with a smirk.

"Nothing. I have something to do in my office and you have a meeting in 5 minutes." I notified him and hopped off his desk. I glimpsed at the magazine and I saw him frown.

"Belle they want to do an interview with you." His frown deepened. I wasn't going to do any interview them asking me about my life.

"You can tell them no. I don't want them asking about our engagement or about how I have kept my figure after giving birth." I explained my reason.

"I understand even though I would like to know how you manage to look so good."

"Whatever I have to go sort out a few things. Good bye." I walked out of his office swaying my hips. My office door was open Mary Ann and Ally were still inside. I liked his compliment.
