Chapter 341 Congratulations on Becoming a Father
Victoria had never anticipated a life of ease, but the depth of her current humiliation surpassed even her wildest expectations. Alexander, the scoundrel, was the cause of it all."Victoria, lend me a hand," Janaye's voice broke through her thoughts. Victoria had just emerged from the restroom when Janaye sought her out. The suddenness of the request felt like a cold shower, leaving her standing there, panting, before she gradually regained her composure.As Alexander exited his office, he opened his mouth to speak, but Victoria had already departed with Janaye, leaving him with his words unspoken."Alexander, how long has Victoria been sick like this? Could she be pregnant?" Isabella emerged, her curiosity piqued by their silence. Alexander merely squinted his phoenix-like eyes at her, his expression unreadable.Janaye, overhearing Isabella's words from a distance, felt her face drain of color. Why did it feel like someone was stirring the pot?Victoria sought solace in the cafeteria at lunchtime, hoping to avoid any further unpleasant encounters. However, today, the cafeteria was abuzz with whispers and stares all directed at her. Victoria scanned the room curiously before lowering her gaze, reminded of the morning's rumors."Don't concern yourself with others' opinions. We are not puppets to be manipulated," Janaye advised gently, sitting beside her. Victoria was touched by her words.Meanwhile, Alexander, Isabella, and Benjamin were dining in a private room. Mid-meal, Alexander glanced at his watch and announced, "You two continue eating, I'll be back.""Where are you going?" Benjamin asked him.
"Victoria's fever hasn't subsided. She needs an IV at the hospital," Alexander replied, rising from his seat. Isabella watched his retreating figure, puzzled. Had her words that morning fallen on deaf ears?"Do you think he's lost his mind?" Isabella whispered to Benjamin."Why would you say that?" he asked."I suggested that Victoria might be pregnant, and he seemed indifferent."Benjamin was perplexed. How did Isabella know about Victoria's pregnancy? Was it connected to the day's trending gossip?In the cafeteria, Alexander made his way towards Victoria, under the watchful eyes of everyone present. Victoria kept her head down, forcing herself to eat. She couldn't let a man undermine her strength, could she?Suddenly, the cafeteria fell eerily silent. A pair of immaculate black trousers appeared in her line of sight. Victoria's heart skipped a beat. She slowly raised her head to find Alexander, the man who seemed to know everything.Victoria met his gaze, a flicker of resentment towards him evident in her eyes."Have you finished eating?" he asked."What do you want, Alexander?" Victoria responded tersely.Alexander noted her irritation but chose to approach her nonetheless. He stood beside her, his hand lightly touching her forehead."You're still feverish. We need to get you to the hospital for an IV," he said, ignoring the curious glances from the onlookers."Alexander, look after yourself. I won't trouble you anymore," Victoria retorted."They say couples quarrel during the day and reconcile at night. Are you planning to make amends with me tonight, my dear?" Alexander teased."What?" Victoria was taken aback. What was he implying in front of all these people? His composure was such that others might mistake their exchange for a minor disagreement.Whispers filled the room. "Even if Victoria is normal, she has a husband.""And even if she's pregnant, it's Alexander's child. Maybe the man with her is a bodyguard?"Upon hearing the murmurs, Alexander turned around and clarified, "Not a bodyguard, he's my cousin."The room fell silent as everyone stared at him, dumbfounded. Cousin? Was their boss about to become a dad?
Suddenly, a quick-thinking individual stood up and announced, "Congratulations to the boss on becoming a father."
