Amelia decided to end her marriage after she was threatened by her in-laws for her inability to conceive. She had a one-night stand with a stranger, and she discovered that she was pregnant She was unable to find the stranger who impregnated her so she accepted her fate. Years later, she met him as the CEO of FL company, while she's the manager of Maureen's company. How would she be able to convince him that the one-night stand led to pregnancy?
Amelia took a deep breath as she reviewed the presentation one final time.
This is the day she has been striving towards for a long time. She had heard about the company and how it would revolutionize the way her own company operated if the presentation went well.
Amelia is the manager of Maureen's Company; she has worked with the company for a year and a half, starting as a cleaner while pregnant. After giving birth, she was promoted to marketing, then to manager.
The owner had entrusted her with the company because he is not here right now.
"Perfect," She said as she applied her lipgloss to her lips.
She checked her reflection in the mirror to ensure her appearance was polished and professional.
She went into her living room to hug her twins before leaving.
She considered not taking her car, because the "Newton Building" where the meeting was to be held was near.
She flagged down a taxi.
"Newton Building," she said while sitting in the backseat.
She closed her eyes, attempting to concentrate on her presentation, and before she realized it, the cab came to a stop.
"We are already there," the taxi driver said.
She looked shocked that the ride had gone so quickly, her heart racing.
She stepped out of the taxi and started walking towards the building.
She met the receptionist at the front desk of the company building.
"Hello, "Are you Ms. Amelia?" The receptionist asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am Ms. Amelia" She responded with a nod and smile.
"You are welcome, Miss. The boardroom is on the 26th floor, and the elevator is down the corridor."
"Okay, thank you.
"I wish you all the best with your presentation."
"Thank you," said Amelia, smiling.
She walked slowly towards the elevator, praying quietly.
She pushed the button for the 26th floor.
She noticed a double door at the end of the hallway with the words *Boardroom*.
She entered the boardroom and met groups of people dressed in suits.
She was relaxed because it was not her first meeting with a company's CEO or Manager.
She greeted everyone as she took her seat.
She was called upon to give her presentation.
She went out with confidence because she was well-prepared.
As she was ready to begin, she noticed Mr. Alexander.
She froze, shocked, and her heart pounded in her chest.
"I'm... I'm..... Ame...Amelia." She stammered.
"Is this the woman who everyone thinks is intelligent?" The voice echoed from the man, he had been looking at... "If that is it, I believe my time here is up."
"I am also finished here...I am done here." Everyone was unimpressed because she was unable to say anything; they had expected more based on her previous presentations.
Everyone had gone, leaving her shivering and feeling disappointed in herself.
She had attended various meetings and represented the company; now she had lost the opportunity she had been looking forward to.
She exited the building and looked for a taxi to take her home. For almost thirty minutes, she could not get a taxi.
She was excessively sweating from the heat when a car stopped beside her.
Alexander, the same man she had seen that made her unable to present, stepped out of the car.
She looked keenly into the man's face. Yes, she is correct; he is who she believes he is, the one she had a one-night affair with years ago, the one she sought before accepting her fate, the one who impregnated her, and the father of her twins.
"Hello..."Are you okay?" He said as he got closer to her.
Amelia nodded, attempting to ignore him.
"Let me give you a ride to your place; it is the least I could do."
He noticed Amelia looking at him, but he thought it was the usual look from the ladies, given his sexy physical appearance.
"I am good, thank you," Amelia replied, avoiding eye contact with him.
"I will ask one final time, would you like to come in?"
She was confused, the heat was intense, and she doubted she would see a cab in the next hour. Despite her desire to avoid him, she accepted his offer to avoid waiting for too long.
She tried to remain calm as she described her house to Alexander's driver.
"Ms. Amelia?" Your programs and all I have seen on TV went smoothly; you are sound and dedicated; what went wrong?
"I apologize, I honestly... I am sorry."
"I had heard about you before making time for this, and I hated coming here because you wasted my time."
"You aren't bad" He said as he gently stroked her hair slowly.
"Your face looks familiar; have I met you in person before?" He stared at her as he asked.
"Not at all, I am not sure.."I doubt it," she responded fiercely.
"Giving Maureen's company a chance is not a bad idea, but you failed miserably during the presentation."
Even though she has been looking forward to this for a long time, she understands that partnering with the FL company will undoubtedly benefit Maureen's company, but she does not want to see Alexander on a regular basis.
"I will be glad, and I am confident that you will not regret it." Amelia made a decision.
They had arrived at her home before they knew it. Alexander stepped outside and noticed two children walking to his side.
"Oooh..Cuties" Alexander said as he carries one of them.
"Whoa, so this is their father, Daniel look alike." The new maid that Amelia had recently hired said.
Amelia was shaking all the while giving the maid eye signal, but she was unaware of it.
"My secretary will phone you and inform you," Alexander said as he dropped the child. "Are these your children?"
They are twins, Daniel and Daniella, and yes, they are mine.
"Oooh...they are cute, I love children," he added, walking to his car.
"Thank you, Mr. Alexander. I will be waiting for your call."
Without saying anything else, Alexander got into his car and drove off.
