My 419 Nightmare

49. Gathering Forces

Paris, 12 hours after the press conference.

The elegant lady is sitting in front of her vanity table. Facing the mirror, she is putting on her pearl earrings, to match the layered pearl necklace that's already on her neck.

"Mistress, that person is here."

The lady keep her seat on the stool, nodding towards her assistant by the reflection of the mirror. Her assistant leave for a second, guiding another person in.

A small satisfied smile lingers on the lady's lips as she eyes that person.

A someone who have the exact same face as hers.

"G has done a great job, as always."

The lady turn on her seat, facing that person who also possess the same body build. That person keep looking downwards, not daring to look at the lady.

"I believe you have been noticed what's your job scope is?"

The person nod his head.

"Then... starting from now you'll be me. Stay here and act like I would act. I have seen your recording before. You'll do well."

The lady stands and approach the person. She holds the tip of the person's chin, bringing it up and face her.

"You'll do this job and your family will be kept save. Do we have a deal,

James?"

Kit's POV

"Do I need to do anything?"

That is the first question that he ask Beam after we meet him at his office.

After yesterday's... activity... he suddenly become concerned with the baby and insisted for us to come for a check up first thing in the morning.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dachaipaya. You just need to ensure Kit is calm and happy. Try to make sure he's not getting too agitated on anything. I've prescribed some pills that I believe will help with the hormones problem, but other than that, we just have to play it by ear."

I give a small pat on his hand, seeing how worried he is. When he drop a kiss on it, I realize Beam have been looking at me, sending signal with his eyes.

We are already done with my pre natal check up and Beam has done a great job explaining my condition to Ming. But it didn't escape my notice that he acts a little bit cautious today. Much less enthusiastic from when he found out I've been in contact with what he called the baby's father.

"Ming, can you wait for me outside? I just need to use the bathroom."

"Are you okay, angel? Do you feel nauseous or something?"

I put on a thin smile with his over reaction, shaking my head, as I spy Beam is doing the same too.

"No, I just need to used the toilet. Nature's called. Wait for me at the cafeteria, please. They have the best veggie dumplings. I wants some."

"Okay, angel. I'll wait for you. Thank you, Doctor Baramee."

After dropping a kiss on my head, he goes out while I linger by the side of my seat, acting like I'm heading towards the private bathroom that was inside Beam's office. However as soon as the door's closed, I sit back and face my friend.

"Spill it."

Beam look at me in silence, tapping his pen on the table for what's feels like an hour.

"Beam, what's wrong? Is it about the baby?"

I grow anxious about his silence that voice goes up a pitch. If it wasn't for the fact that his office is soundproof I would be afraid that Ming might heard something. Yeah, that little demon of mine would be waiting outside and not at the cafeteria as he promised. I've known him well enough to know how obsessive he is with me.
