Done with work for the day, Sylvie left to meet Westley. He was in his place and had been seeing a movie in his
living room when she entered "Hey, pretty." He stood up, pulling out into a hug. "How was work today?"
"Yeah, it was good. Yours?" She dropped it jacket, taking a seat.
The reason she had a jacket on was to cover her bump. But now, they might be no more covering. She was
starting to consider Kage's suggestion of letting others see she was pregnant "Mine was stressful as hell. Closed
sdeals today." Westley replied.
She flashed him a smile. "Congrats."
After Kage ended their call in the car, he'd called back. But she couldn't pick up and simply texted him that

"I have squestions, Wes" She sat up. He was seated beside her now.

Good Lord. How, Sylvie understood why Kage had been acting that way. He probably disliked her for being
engaged to Westley, but couldn't fully hate her because she was carrying his babies..
Westley held her hand. I told you I didn't want you getting involved in our business deals, Sylvie. Leave that to us

Yes, Kage

She blinked herself back to consciousness, closed the doors behind her and forced her legs to move
"Hey, Sylvie. You back. Care to join us for a meal? Lana wore a smile.
She paused, seizing another chance to look at them. They looked... happy. And it was strange. 15:02 Wed, Oct 9
