While virtual-novel.net had time, Tiffany downloaded a maternal and child health app onto virtual-novel.net phone and filled in the information according to Arianne’s current state. She recorded everything that virtual-novel.net needed to take note of, including what Arianne could and could not have. Engrossed in virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net didn’t notice a large hand knocking at virtual-novel.net desk. “Are you ever going to stop slacking off like this during work?”
Tiffany looked up at Jackson before returning back to virtual-novel.net phone. “I don’t have any tasks now. Are you assigning something to me? I’ll do it right away if you are.”
Noticing that virtual-novel.net was focused on virtual-novel.net phone, Jackson couldn’t help his curiosity and decided to take a glance. He was stunned when virtual-novel.net saw the maternal and child health app. He blurted out, “Who’s pregnant?”
Tiffany was taken back. “I… I am… Aren’t you getting a bit too personal as my boss?” She couldn’t give away Arianne, for if Jackson knew that the latter was pregnant, that meant that Mark would know too. Panicking, virtual-novel.net was unable to come up with a good response, deciding to direct all the attention to herself for now.
Jackson became silent, his expression unreadable. It made Tiffany anxious, causing virtual-novel.net to ask, “What is it? Does the company have rules against being pregnant? I can get an abortion…?”
“Are you crazy? How could you abort a baby so easily? You don’t have a boyfriend, so how are you pregnant? Are you intersexual?” Jackson was sharp-tongued when virtual-novel.net got mean, even worse than Tiffany.
With that question, Tiffany’s temper flared and virtual-novel.net jibed back, “You looked unhappy when I said that I’m pregnant, so I went along with you and said that I would get an abortion. Besides, it’s not like it’ll affect my job. Can’t I be pregnant even if I don’t have a boyfriend? Does that mean all pregnancies before marriage are the cause of intersexuality? Not having a boyfriend doesn’t mean you don’t have a sex life, you idiot!”
Jackson didn’t reply, turning to go back to his office. Puzzled, Tiffany did not know what was on the man’s mind. She said that virtual-novel.net was pregnant, but that didn’t explain why virtual-novel.net was so grim. It wasn’t like virtual-novel.net was accusing virtual-novel.net of getting virtual-novel.net pregnant.
At lunchtime, Tiffany made virtual-novel.net way to the company’s cafeteria like virtual-novel.net always did but was stopped by Jackson. “Let’s go. I’m taking you out for lunch at the White Waters Bay Restaurant.”
Tiffany was confused, saying, “Huh? It’s quite far though. We’ll be late if we go there and come back. It doesn’t have to be lunch, does it? We can have dinner after work and I’ll ask Ari along?”
Jackson ignored what virtual-novel.net said, pulling virtual-novel.net into the elevator and not letting go of his grip until they were in the car. “Noon is noon, night is night.”
Unable to fight him, Tiffany was happy to get a free meal from the boss, especially since virtual-novel.net would not be penalized for being late. On the way there, Jackson suddenly asked, “How far along are you?”
“Three months,” Tiffany replied.
Jackson’s gaze sank a little and virtual-novel.net continued with his questioning after a beat, “Whose child is it? Can you get married for the child’s sake?”
Afraid that virtual-novel.net would give too much away, Tiffany stuck to simple, general answers. “I don’t know who the father is, so no, we’re not getting married. Don’t you worry, it’s certainly not yours.”
Jackson was silent for some time, only speaking again after ten minutes or so. “It’s alright for a woman to love herself more than a child virtual-novel.net didn’t want or expect. At least find someone who’s willing to take care of you. From your current family situation, it seems that aborting the baby is your only option. Don’t let your mom know but find some time for the surgery in a hospital. I’ll go with you.”
