Mr. and Mrs. Executive

Chapter 26

AN: I should have posted this waaaay before but that's Sam. And yes I know he's not the really old weird looking guy y'all expected xD

-----------------

Nora James P. O. V

The silence is almost suffocating as we all sit around the coffee table, waiting for any one of us to speak up.

I shift to my right slightly as I'm currently tightly lodged in between Alexander and Greg, both of them not wanting to move even the slightest bit away from me so I can at the very least breathe in peace.

Ever one stares at each other with blank faces, or it's probably only me since I feel uncomfortable in the presence of Sam.

"Congratulation Nora."

Sam finally pierces the silence as he leans forward in his seat, leaning on his elbows as he tries to catch a glimpse of me but is unable to fully see me as Greg too leans forward, cutting of Sam's line of sight.

"For what?" I manage to grind out, taking comfort in Alexander's arm now wrapped around my waist, squeezing gently at my hip.

"The baby of course. What else?"

Nearly everyone in the room seems to tense up triple-fold.

I glance at Alexander in shock and fright as he shrugs back with furrowed eyebrows.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Alex seethes out.

"Well Nora is pregnant isn't she?" Sam asks in faux confusion, knowing very well I am.

"How-?" I don't even finish my sentence as Sam- who can now see me as Greg leans back- winks at me.

"I know a lot of things dear, I have eyes and ears everywhere."

I nearly visibly cringe at his cliché line but a part of me does blanche at the words as I think of all the things he probably knows.

Sam realizes I'm not going to be replying to him any time soon so he turns his attention onto Damien who stares back at him frostily with a challenging glare in his eyes.

"Brother we have a lot to discuss."

This time I do cringe and nearly gag as well and looking at Greg, he feels exactly the same way- what his nose scrunched up and all as if he's tasted something bad.

"I have already said it once and I will repeat myself again; Say what you need to say and then leave."

Sam smirks at an agitated looking Damien and rolls his eyes in exasperation.

"Well I've come here to talk, I mean isn't that what all of you came here to do? Or did you all just want to catch up and reminisce on the good old days? I'm sure Nora would love that."

I gasp out loud in disbelief as I try to process how to react to what he just said.

My grip on Alexander's arm tightens as I try to rearrange my face into a mask of indifference though on the inside I feel anything but that.

"We-," Greg gets cut off as a phone rings around the room, I glance down at my pocket but know it isn't mine and nor is it Alexander's.
