"I mean he didn't even know what he did wrong, that is what is the most annoying right now" Astoria said with her eyes fuming with anger

"He didn't?" Isadora asked indifferently watching her friend's display.

"Of course, after drawing all those lines and stuff, he is really a heart breaker a total jerk" she said and moved her hair backwards.

"But why are you getting angry about him drawing lines, what he said is right, business should be business and if we look more into it, you have more to lose than him. You are the one that needs money and a house. He could have gotten someone else if you disagree to marry him"

"Am I even your friend? You should side me not his Isadora"

"I side whatever is right and that being said did you ask him?"

"Ask him that what?"

"Why he is drawing a line"Isadora asked.

"And why would I?"

"you need to ask him before jumping into conclusion, you are the one that as feelings for him, he doesn't have for you so it is only normal that those words come out of him mouth"

"What are you talking about? Fe..fe.feelings? Feelings my foot" Astoria said cupping her cheeks while Isadora looked away.

"Seriously what are you doing again in my office this night?" Harry said stressed and tired.

"I can't go home no one is there"Ryan said sleeping on the sofa.

"Since when did you start getting brothered about who is at home and who is not at home. you have always lived alone all your life, bro" Harry said with his voice coming out really loud.

"I know right? But now I would feel lonely if I am there alone, I would feel like the whole word as abandoned me.

"What about Astoria? Isn't she home?"

"She is mad at me"

"Really? i Am really surprised, you guys lasted this long I thought you won't last for a week and here you are"

"Shut your trap bro"

"You should be nice to her, when you told me about you drawing line I knew she would be mad at you"

"But it was foe her good and that doesn't mean she should hang out with Joshua"

"And by the way that Joshua he looks so familiar"

"Joshua? My new driver how"

"I have seen him somewhere before but I can't remember"

"Really?"

*****************

Joshua opened the door for Ryan to enter the car and Astoria sat on the front beside Joshua because of the arrangements Ryan felt so uncomfortable about this, why would she sit in the front instead of sitting beside him?.

His grandparents has called them with a immediate effect, and thy have to answer even if it is during work hour, who are they working for anyways.

On their way Joshua and Astoria kept talking and laughing to each other while they left Ryan in the world of his own, Ryan kept giving Astoria a eye but Astoria ignored him.

"So Astoria do you have a boyfriend?" Joshua asked.

The question shocked both Ryan and Astoria because that is the same question he asked and they got married two weeks after. And another guy's is asking the same question.

Astoria looked at Ryan In the mirror and smiled.

"No I don't" Astoria replied

"Really?"

Ryan couldn't take it again or is too much for him and he needs to do something.

"Hey Mr Joshua I employed you here to drive and not chat with my wife" Ryan roared and Everything went silent.

"Sorry?" Joshua said looking at him with a eyes full of fear.

"Astoria is my wife so stop hitting on her and what? You only met her last week and you call her Astoria without putting Miss? Am sure you don't want to lose your job"Ryan said with his bossy stare.

"I am sorry Mr Ryan I didn't know that she is your wife"

Astoria looked at Ryan again through the mirror, she couldn't explain this type of feeling she is having but for sure she knows that butterflies are in her tummy she smiled to herself as she recalled.

"Astoria is my wife stop hitting on her" he smiled.

Jemima entered Mia's office to submit a file, on her way she passed through Mr. Ryan's office to check if he is in but didn't see anyone, even Astoria.

"Here is it mia" she said dropping the files.

"Oh thanks but Mr Ryan as to verify it first " mia said

"I went to his office but he is not on sit"

"Yes he went to his grandparents place"

"With Astoria?"

"What do you mean with Astoria? They are married remember, they are practically going as family"

"Oh I forgot Astoria is now part of the chairman's family"

"She is lucky isn't she, she must feel on top of the sky"

"Luck my foot" she said within herself and went back to her office.

************

They sat round the table to eat lunch, Astoria never knew how hungry she is until she saw the food on the table but she had to follow the rules of the rich people, fork and knives, so slow.

The table is so full with different type of food that she wished she has a take away to park everything home. Because she is sure everything is going to be wasted.

Ryan grandmother kept feeding her and passing food to her side that Astoria began to feel so insecure about what she is doing.

She is sure that she is up to something or she wants to give her a task, because she is not nice for free

"Eat a lot" his grandmother said and patted her on her head.

Astoria nodded and continued eating.

"Ermmm Astoria?" She called again

"Yes ma'am" Astoria replied dropping all her cutleries.

"How is your body?" She asked smiling

"My body is well and good"

"Oh good to hear"

"You need to stay fit and full of energy"

"Yes ma'am"

"So that you get pregnant very soon"

That was it, that was what made her choke that she almost landed in the hospital.

She has forgotten after marriage people are expecting her to get pregnant.
