SIX WEEKS LATER

Gabby woke up with the immediate need to throw up. She jumped from her bed and walked as fast as her legs could carry her to the bathroom. She emptied the contents of her stomach in the toilet. Feeling very weak after all, Gabby decided to sit on the floor to regain her lost energy and after feeling a little bit okay. She rose to her feet, brushed her teeth, and had her bath. If today was a weekend, She would have gotten back to bed to rest some more. But unfortunately, She had to be at work in a couple of minutes.

This was how Gabby has been feeling for the past five days. She often feels nauseous and being a coffee lover, she found it very strange that even the smell of coffee makes her feel uncomfortable. Being someone who was always health-conscious, Gabby had set an appointment with her doctor which she would be meeting later on today.

Satisfied with how she looked, Gabriela reached for her handbag, car keys, and exited the room.

"Won't you have breakfast, dear?" Donald, Gabriela's father asked as soon as he saw her daughter coming downstairs in a hurry.

"Morning Dad, Good Morning Mom," Gabby said as she walked over to her father who was having pancakes. She kissed his cheek after which she did the same to her mom who was seated beside her father.

"I don't want to be late for work, Daddy. Besides, I'm not hungry." She replied, giving her parents a fake smile.

"Alright, dear. Just make sure you eat as soon as you get to the office." Donald said.

Gabby nodded, leaving the house.

She got into her car and drove straight to her office. On getting down from her car, Gabby contemplated if she should go get herself a cup of coffee at the coffee shop opposite her office. Being so unsure of herself as she might end up throwing it away as she did to the previous ones, She decided to just go into the office and start her days' work.

Stepping into Tennon's Inc, She collided with her Boss, Terrence, who was holding a very cute little girl whom Gabby recognized to be Sophie. Terrence's daughter.

"Daddy look. It's your Friend. Gabriela." Sophie announced as if Terrence did not know it was Gabby who was standing in front of them.

"Hi, Gabby. I'm Sophie." Sophie said with a wide smile on her face.

Her gesture alone lightened Gabby's mood which made Gabby smile hard. She bent down towards the little girl's height and kissed her cheek. "You are so adorable. It is nice meeting you, Sophie." Gabby said as Sophie grinned.

She stood up and her eyes finally met Terrence's own. "Good Morning, Mr. Tennon," Gabby said with a low voice and Terrence just nodded after which he walked away with Sophie.

His gesture hurt Gabby but she couldn't blame him. This was how their relationship has been. very awkward. They haven't even had any proper conversation since the last time Terrence came to her office to explain himself. They only talk when it has to do with work.

Yeah, Gabby promised her Mother she would talk to Terrence and sort things out but the truth was that, after that day, Terrence had also been behaving kind of too professional with her that she thought he was no longer interested in her. So she concluded there was no point in talking to him.

Gabby sighed as she proceeded to her office to start the day's work. And soon enough her alarm rang that it was almost time for her doctor's appointment. She shut down her computer, picked up her purse and car keys as she walked out of her office. She told Katherine she was heading out but would be back as soon as possible.

"It's nice to see you, Gabby." Isabelle, Gabby's doctor smiled as she pulled Gabby in for a hug.

"Same here, Isabelle." Gabby smiled as Isabelle told her to take a seat.
