Chapter Fourteen

Eloise Pov

It was him, the young man at the hospital who claimed my child is his. He was standings right at the top floor where the department normally held meetings. I couldn't take my gaze off him. For some reason I felt he was interested in me, but in what aspect, those questions resided in my mind.

Never would I in my widest dream think he was the new CEO. I thought it would be an older man, but a man in his twenties? I would never had guess.

I couldn't take my gaze off him. Every glance at him reminded me of the words he said at the hospital, my child is his? Is there any truth to it? Or did a CEO with mental issues take over the company?

My lips slowly parted, I could see how his hands shivering on the railings, he was mute, staring at me like he was frozen.

His eyes looked as though they had so much to say, he looked like someone who harbors nothing but painful memories. Was it because I just wanted someone to be in deep shit like I, or was there something about him that yikes regrets. Whatever it was, I wouldn't be able to find out.

I sighed and lowered my gaze, I slowly veers around to stare at peter, the man who used to be the only one I needed, he was my happiness.

The way he held his hands around Diane, checking her face for any scars my fingers might have left. He kissed her forehead, and then placed her head on his chest, slowly panting her back.

I couldn't hold it in, my eyes instantly gathered tears and the muscles of my face squeezed. I tried to hold it in, those silent painful moans by sucking my lips in and tightened it against each other. But the tears in my eyes were plummeting.

I fell to my knees wailing bitterly. Emily's hands held my shoulder. I veer and hugged her. My heart can't take this, at this rate I fear I will lose my child.

"You are all needed in the office. How could you all behave like kids, fighting when the CEO was attending to an important meeting? That's unprofessional, and I belt you all are on the verge of losing your jobs."

The CEO's assistant shrieked at us, Emily helped me up and then we walked behind Peter and his mistress.

I hesitated, strutting outside the door. I was expecting the CEO to raise his voice at them, but the longer I waited, my heart kept raising. I took deep breaths trying to calm my nerves and then walked in.

I stood beside peter, and then fixed my gaze on the CEO. His tie was loosen, probably because he was mad at us. But then, his gaze were wandering on below our knees, was he afraid?

Suddenly he fixed his eyes on me, sending shivers through my spine. I could see so much emotions in his eyes, and for some reason I couldn't help but narrow my eyes further in confusion.

"Why was he staring at me that way? Or did I look pathetic?"
