Chapter 40: 40


    "Where have you been?" Hans asked as I sat beside him in the conference room.


    "Washroom. Are you here yet?" I said, roaming my sight around to see if the new nt Manager is


    already inside, but I didn’t see anyone who’s unfamiliar so I guess, nothing yet.


    "There''s still fifteen minutes more," Hans answered.


    The meeting starts at three o''clock and there are still fifteen minutes left.


    "Busy?" I asked.


    When Mikael was still the nt Manager, even though it wasn''t the right time, as long as he saw that


    the members wereplete, he would start immediately.


    Well, that''s Mikael.


    Hans shrugged. "Maybe. We''re not close so I can find out," he replied.


    My brows creased. What''s the problem with that and it''s so ugly. "Did Eli step on you? Why do you


    seem to be conceiving?" I asked.


    News sh: Eli''s pregnant.


    Hans red at me and I didn''t do anything butugh at him. I became even more irritated.


    "I have something for Eli. You''lleter before you go home, huh?" I told him instead.


    "You just give," he said.


    I immediately shook my head. "No. It''s just you, you''re the wife. Just tell me it''s from me," I replied.


    Hans''s attitude rolled his eyes at me. "Baka kasal," ani n''ya.


    Another news sh: Eli''s pregnant but she doesn''t want to get married yet. Reason for Hans to sulk


    each time he got.


    "I''ll change my mind too, just wait," I said.


    Hans tsk-ed. "I''ve been waiting for her for years, Jia. I just want to get married, she doesn''t want to."

    "Just understand, the person is pregnant. Of course, their decisions are not stable now, they are very


    emotional now," I just said.


    I would like to say that, when you were able to wait without certainty, can you still have children? But of


    course, I can''t say that. He might get even more frustrated.


    "She love you, so just chill there," I added when he didn''t answer.


    Honestly, I don''t know what''s wrong with these two. Just for fools. Sometimes so much in love, often


    like children.


    I continued talking to Hans about other things that we were surprised when everyone in the conference


    room stood. We also stood up even though we did not know what was happening. But a familiar guy


    stood in front of us.


    "Good afternoon, sir." One of the managers greeted him, he nodded and greeted us back.


    I greeted but I don''t think that''s loud enough for him to hear. But it doesn''t matter.


    He gestured us all to settle down, we did. The meeting started and he was introduced.


    "This is Mr. Elijah Matteo Bel Monte, our new nt Manager," Denise, the HR head said.


    "Nice meeting you all," he said.


    The introduction proceed, introducing as all to him.


    "This is Ms. Jianna Astrid Romero, our marketing director." Denise introduced me.


    I smiled and nodded a bit. "Nice meeting you, Sir." I said.


    But his eyes squinted and his brow furrowed. "Don''t get me wrong, Ms. Romero but you looks familiar,"


    he said.


    Hans turned to me immediately. He even nudge me but I just ignored him.


    "Probably because of Russell''s wedding," I answered. I don''t know if I answered appropriately but I


    don''t think it matters.


    His eyes widened and he smiled. "Right. I remember, you''re my cousin''s husband''s best friend," he


    said.


    I smiled and nodded as my answered. And when I turned to Hansel, he''s brows are creased then he


    said, "I thought I''m your best friend."


    I just rolled my eyes.
