It has been two weeks since the wedding. Ever since they got home, she barely had time to interact with her subordinates, friends and Hayden. She missed him. The sound of his heartbeat, his warmth when he hold her. She missed every thing in him.

Everyone in the brewery was busy preparing for the Beer Auction. She's been gone for two days because of the wedding and when she returned, the paper works keeps on piling.

She's sitting right now in Hayden's private plane with Jubileen, her bother and Claire. She invited them to join them, which was fine with Hayden. She still have to get used to the idea that Hayden's loaded.

She watch Hayden and her brother talk about gadgets like every men do. She remembered that before they take off she called her parents that she's going home with Cj and she swear she heard her mother cry.

"I've called Janet," Jubileen, who sat across her said. "Told her I'm going home. You know what she said to me?"

"What?" Reinne look up from her laptop. She was still finalizing some papers for the auction. She's going to be away for a week, she had no choice but to bring her work with her.

"Her exact words, 'Good then. Just make sure your not pregnant.' Seriously?" Jubileen asked in irritation when Reinne spit out her drink in shock.

"Sorry," She wipe her mess with the napkin. "You got me off guard."

"Exactly! How can I be pregnant if I never had sex?! My siblings thought that I'm just going..."

Reinne didn't bother listening to Jubileen's rumble. She saw Hayden looking at her. She sent him a smile. She wanted him to sit beside her but Jubileen beat him to it. Never had she wanted to kill her friend. She knows Hayden heard Jubileen's ramble but his expression remains passive. What is he thinking?

They both haven't had time to sit and talk. Their relationship was kept as a secret much to Hayden's dismay but Reinne calmly explained to him why. He is their boss and she don't want her subordinates thinking that she got the position as the chief chemist because she's shagging the boss.

Reinne continued her work until the letters starts to jumble. She look around to see Claire asleep on her brother's shoulder while Hayden's typing something on his phone. She let out a sigh and shut her laptop her. She glance at Jubileen and held out a chuckle. She took out her phone and snap a picture of her sleeping. Reinne glance at her watch to see that they still have four hours before they arrived and she decided to let her exhaustion take over.

"Are you sure you won't stay at ours?" Reinne whispered to Jubileen before they separate. "You are more than welcome."

"As much as I want to ignore them and spend it at yours," Jubileen sigh. "I actually want to spend some time with them before we head back to work."

Reinne nod in understanding. "Sure. I'll call you."

She watch Jubileen head to her mom and her eldest sister Jane. She gave them a wave before facing her own family who were busy talking to the other three. This is the first time her parents meet Claire and her mother was over the moon when she saw her. When my brother told them he had a girlfriend my mom thought he was making it all up.

Reinne went near Hayden who was talking to her father. The last time her parents and Hayden meet, he was her boss at that time. Now, he came her as her...boyfriend? Are they even in that kind of relationship?
