Chapter 6 BOND


    I rolled my eyes to make him think that I am not affected by what he said.


    "Can you stop with your absurd idea?! If you want a baby, then go and find someone else to carry


    your child.” I hissed.


    “I don’t want to have a child yet okay? But if it happened then I don’t have a choice but to ept the


    responsibility. And also, I just said that because from your action right now, you look like a pregnant


    woman.”   He said in defense.


    “It may also be because I was so stressed,” I said trying to defend myself and stop him from


    thinking that I might be pregnant.


    His forehead creased. "Are you stressed because of the LHI project?" He asked a bit worried.


    "Well... it is one of the reasons. LHI is a big project, and everyone in the industry wants to get that


    project. Also, I always wanted to have a project with LHI.” Yes! He believed in my excuse.


    He became silent and seriously stared at me.


    I became nervous again. I thought he already bought my excuse but why did he be so serious


    all of a sudden. Did he still think that I was pregnant?


    "If I give you this project will you not be stressed anymore?" He said in a serious tone.


    I was stunned. "You will give me the LHI project simply because I’m stressed?”


    "Why not? I mean I''m satisfied with your presentation. So far yourpany has the highest chance


    of getting the project. We still have 2 morepanies to meet but I''m nning to decline the


    meeting and go with yourpany."


    I felt irritated with what he said. “You will not do that! Yes, I wanted to get the LHI project but I


    wanted to get the project solely because we deserve I and not just because you don’t want me to be


    stressed.”


    “Who told you that yourpany does not deserve to get this project?! Are you deaf? I told you that


    so far, yourpany has the highest chance of getting picked for the project because, among all


    thepanies who presented, your presentation was the best.”


    “I only have two morepanies to meet and I am pretty sure that you can still beat them. This


    project was eating up a lot of my time because of those meetings. I am just trying to save time and


    also at the same time, help you to minimize your stress.” He exined in a serious tone.


    I pouted my lips still not epting his exnation. "Still, you will not do that. Continue your meeting


    with the twopanies. Do you have any idea how difficult it was to get a scheduled meeting from


    yourpany?!”


    “I am very sure that those twopanies had a hard time getting that scheduled meeting. You can’t


    just cancel it because of these reasons. They might not be chosen but still, give them their chance


    to prove themselves for this project.”


    Aside from the fact that I am not yet sure if I wanted to really get this project, I can’t just ignore the


    otherpanies who also work hard to be chosen for this project.


    As I said a while ago, getting a schedule with LHI was no joke. I knew that those twopanies will


    be sad and disappointed because they were deprived of their chance to prove themselves to be


    chosen for this project. I can’t simply ignore that.


    I will never do something that were unjust and unfair to mypetitors. I always wanted to y fair,


    regardless if they will also y fair or not. I do not want to sell my conscience.


    I saw him smile. It made me more felt irritated with him. He was not taking me seriously.


    "I did not expect that from you, Penelope. I heard that you are verypetitive and I also notice


    that when we had our meetingst week. But I did not expect that you are also considerate of your


    competitors." He said looking so proud.


    “Since we were in school, we were already trained to bepetitive, but I want to y fair. I don’t


    care if other people will not y fair, I will be firm with my principles. I want my parents to be proud


    of me not just because of my achievements but also of the person I be." I said in a serious


    voice.


    I felt sad thinking about my parents. I am always like this whenever I mentioned them. I just wished


    that they are still with me, I want to hear from them that they are proud of all my achievements. I


    want to hear from them that I did a great job in taking over thepany. I gently touched my belly.


    Soon I will not be alone anymore. In a few months, I will have a family again. I will never be alone


    anymore.


    Twins we can do this okay? Be healthy for mommy. You are my life now. I am now looking forward


    to tomorrow because of you. I can’t wait to see both of you.

    I feel so full because I ate so much. Even though Ulysses joined me and help me with the food, we


    were still not able to finish all the food.


    ‘Twins we order so much but we were not able to finish all the food.’ I talked to myself while


    touching my belly.


    Ullie got the bills. As per him, he will pay for our bills and he will also pay for the fine due to our


    leftovers. I did not argue with him anymore because the only thing that mattered to me is my


    cravings.


    "Let''s go? Or do you have a n to go somewhere?" He asked me.


    I shook my head. "I''m good. I will go home now."


    He nodded and apanied me to my car.


    Twins, it seems like we often bond with your dad.
