Reunite

Chapter 64

I half smiled and placed my hands on my keyboard, I tapped away on the random letters that bundled into words as I typed away fast. I had so much to catch up as I had been away, the office was silent and not many people were in today. I slightly jumped as my nerves were on edge when someone dropped their coffee mug which smashed across the wooden floor, some people laughed and others rolled their eyes. I gulped and began writing out my emails again, I shut my eyes tightly to try and think of the right words to write.

"Anastasia!", I looked up sharply and Chris had a small grin on his lips, he hung outside the main office door and waved me over. I got up slowly and still felt sick, I gulped and took a deep breath.

"Hi, Chris. How are you?", We strolled down the corridor and towards his office door. He shut the door behind me and asked me to sit down.

"I should be asking how you are, Anastasia?", I forced a smile and lightly sighed.

"I wish I could say I'm ok but the last week I've been very sick, bed bound and almost zombie like.", Chris unbuttoned his jacket and relaxed back into his office chair.

"Did you have a bug?", He questioned.

"No. I've recently discovered that I'm pregnant, only 15 weeks. That's why I was sick and why I am still being sick.", He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Congratulations. I'm happy for you, Miss Steele. Has the sickness gone now?", He asked.

"It will highly likely stay for the pregnancy. I'll have good days and unfortunately bad days too but I'm here and ready to work.", I half smiled and gulped.

"Ok. Don't stress over the missed days at work, it's different in your case. I would like to hand you a contract. A four month contract to work here, which will probably take you up to your maternity leave so it works for everyone.", I gasped and my mouth went wide.

"Oh my god! Yes.", I replied excitedly.

"I have a meeting now but wanted to grab you quickly to see everything was ok, go back to work and I'll email the contract over so you can read over the small prints and expectations.", He lightly coughed and continued. "If you are happy then we can agree and sign. I'll catch up soon.", I shook his head and stood up too quickly, the room spun around and I shut my eyes tightly. "Everything ok?", He questioned.

"Uh, I'm fine. I'll see you soon.", I forced a smile and walked slowly back towards my desk, the room was still moving around but I felt steadier on my feet.

I sat down at my chair and sipped my cold tea, I heavily sighed and walked to the kitchen that was just at the back of the office. I placed the mug in the sink and washed it out with the tap water, I boiled the kettle and patiently waited.

"Anastasia Steele!", My eyes shot up and I was dragged away from my deep thoughts, I widened my eyes and gasped.

"Malcolm?", I almost screamed. He chuckled and awkwardly waved, he hugged me hard and stepped back. "What are you doing here?", I questioned. Malcolm was in my college class, he smiled widely and shook his head.

"It's crazy how small the world is. I should ask what are you doing here, I've been here for eight months now.", He grinned and playfully winked. "I've always lived here. I just moved to Washington for college and came back to work here.", I nodded and poured the boiling hot water back into my empty mug.

"It sure is, I can't believe you are here!", I went to sip my drink and he chuckled and stopped me.

"Anastasia, you tired?", I looked down at my mug and completely forgot to put my tea in. He smiled and grabbed a box of tea bags from the cupboard and handed me them. "So what are you doing here?", He questioned as he watched me stir the tea in the water.

"I moved here because of my fiancé. I actually worked in New York for a period of time then I came back here.", He raised his eyebrows and looked impressed.

"Wow.", The kitchen door opened and one of the employees smiled and waved me towards her, I placed my mug down on the side and walked towards her.

"Sorry to disturb but your phone hasn't stopped ringing.", I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Thank you.", I smiled. "Malcolm, I'll catch up soon.", He smiles and nodded. I paced to my desk and had 6 missed calls from Christian and eleven text messages. I stood up and half skipped to the elevators and went down to the ground level, I called Christian and waited for his voice. P

"Why do you not pick up your phone?", He questioned straight away.

"Hi, Christian. How are you?", I asked sarcastically.

"Ana, I'm in no mood to play games especially when your psycho ex is free. I swear, next time when you don't answer the phone I'll call the police and send them to your work.", I rolled my eyes and walked up and down the reception ignoring the strange looks from the security guard and receptionist.

"Christian. You are overreacting.", I stated.

"Really, Anastasia? We have no whereabouts on where that fucking creep is and you don't answer your phone, what am I meant to think?", He raised his tone.

"I'm working, Christian. I can't always pick up my phone, I am busy.", I continued pacing.

"You sure do look it.", I turned around and there he stood, I gasped as he made me jump. He put his phone in his pocket and I could tell he was pissed. "Don't give me lousy excuses again, I could have been in trouble because ringing someone 6 times non stop does not raise alarm bells to you?", I raised my eyebrows.

"What's wrong?", I asked, I felt panicked.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm saying there could have been something wrong and you didn't pick up.", He bellowed, the lady behind the desk looked up and dropped her eyes back down when I stared at her.

"I'm not doing this here. You need to stop panicking, I'm at work and I'm safe. He won't get through security will he?", I replied.

"I just did!", He said and pointed to the old security guard who was sitting down looking at people walking by. I rolled my eyes and rested my hands on my hips. "I'm not saying no more, Anastasia. Just remember I'm not just protecting you now but I'm protecting the baby. Don't forget that.", He turned on his heel and gave the security guard and disgusting look, he slammed the door and didn't even look back. I was in trouble.
