CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37 SUSPICION

"Aren’t you high school classmates? Why does Group Leader Yuan seem like he’s holding a grudge against you, giving you so much work?" The scriptwriter Lilith, who was in the same group as Mabel Quinn, murmured.

"Maybe Group Leader Yuan doesn’t want me to be too idle, so he wants me to learn more during my internship." Mabel Quinn smiled. Lilith was also a newcomer to the Corporation, and the two of them had often chatted a bit these past couple of days.

After chatting a little more, Lilith suddenly covered her mouth and rushed out of the office, heading towards the bathroom.

Mabel Quinn was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed, only to see Lilith bent over the sink, vomiting.

After a while, Lilith finally finished vomiting, turned on the tap to rinse the sink, and rinsed her mouth.

Mabel Quinn noticed that Lilith’s face looked a bit pale and was about to ask her about it when Lilith spoke first, "Mabel, I... I just ate something bad, that’s why I threw up, it’s not because I’m pregnant or anything, don’t misunderstand."

Mabel Quinn was taken aback, pregnant? She hadn’t even thought about it like that?

But then, her heart skipped a beat as she suddenly remembered, counting the days, her period should have already come. In fact, it’s half a month late. Could it be that she too... is pregnant!

————

Mabel Quinn basically thought that getting pregnant after just one time shouldn’t happen to her. But counting the dates, since her first encounter with Kyle Kinston, after that incident, she hadn’t gotten her period. The possibility of being pregnant was quite high.

Mabel Quinn was almost restless until the end of her workday, and on the way to her part-time job at the cake shop, she stopped by the pharmacy to discreetly buy a pregnancy test.

And then, when buying the pregnancy test, she seemed to perceive a sympathetic look in the sales clerk’s eyes.

Uh... sympathy. Okay, Mabel Quinn felt she indeed needed a bit of sympathy for herself.

She put the pregnancy test into her bag, figuring that according to the instructions, she should test with her first urine in the morning for a more accurate result.

While working at the cake shop, Mabel Quinn was somewhat distracted, her mind always on whether she might be pregnant. If she really was pregnant, what would she do? Have the baby? Or abort it?

No matter which choice, it would be difficult for her. At this moment, Mabel Quinn regretted not thinking of buying emergency contraception at the time. One pill, and all her troubles would be gone.

"Mabel, a cup of coffee," the cashier beside her, Little Chen, called out, and Mabel vaguely felt that Chen’s voice seemed a bit off.

Mabel Quinn started making the coffee, not even noticing when the shop became quiet, until she finished making the coffee and brought it to the counter, formally asking, "Would you like it to stay in or take away?"

"Stay in," a cool and elegant voice suddenly sounded, causing Mabel to shiver. This voice was very familiar to her.

No way!

She raised her head incredulously to see Kyle Kinston in casual clothes standing right in front of her, and behind him were two Bodyguards.

Mabel Quinn felt a wave of dizziness, hoping she was just seeing things. How could Kyle Kinston be appearing in the cake shop where she worked part-time?

"You... why are you here?" She said in shock.
