8 Why aren't you at home?

Avery had gotten home the day before and she was already getting very tired of staying at home, and Jamal had left he said he had an emergency meeting and had to be there.

Belle had a gig from her modelling agency, so she had to go very early to Japan for a shoot, she also made sure to keep Avery's laptop to hinder from working while she was gone.

She was all alone and she didn't like it, she should be working, she was pregnant and not stuck with an illness or something, just then an idea came to her, she decided to call Jamal to ask if he was on the way or if he was going to be coming back anytime soon.

"I'm so sorry, the meeting is going to be longer than I thought" Jamal had answered her in a sorry tone.

"Oh..." she replied partially happy that she could execute her plan of leaving the house but she felt a little cos he wouldn't be able to be with her, even though she didn't want to admit it. Maybe it was the baby she thought.

"But, why do you ask? missing me already?" he asked

"Me? miss you, that's definitely not possible..." she retorted

"hmm hmm...you don't sound like you don't" he laughed as he said it.

"Don't you have a meeting to get to?" She retorted, already blushing and happy that he couldn't see her. He laughed as he said bye and she hung up the call.

Now she was sure he wasn't coming home anytime soon, she can quickly go to where she worked,pick up some of her work and be back before Jamal comes back , she had a quick bath and put on her work attire, feeling very happy about finally getting to work.

She got to the J & K building where she works in about 15 minutes, she had missed work so drove twice as fast and came faster to work than usual. When she got in, she greeted Jake the doorman and the Tina, the secretary who waved at her and smiled very brightly. It didn't seem unusual so she kept walking till she got to her office.

She greeted Molly, her assistant, then proceeded to drop her bags in the office, the next course of action was that she'd go see the new boss and thank him for the unexpected leave, he granted her and hand in some work that was almost due .

She asked her assistant if the boss was in but was told that he was in a meeting with some investors, so she asked for anything she had missed and for any important work she could quickly do before the boss came out of the meeting.

The meeting lasted for about three hours and by then she was able to balance some accounts and finish some of the uncompleted work she had left behind. Her assistant was very efficient and had done most of her work.

Her assistant told her the boss was done with the meeting when he was, and that he was now free so she could go see him.

She hurriedly left her office after fixing the her hair and pulling down her gown.

When she got to his office she knocked twice .

"Come in" she heard a voice say, she came in and shut the door behind her. She had prepared what she would say and how thankful she would be but nothing prepared her for what she saw...

It was Jamal looking straight at her on the boss's seat with an angry expression on his face.

"Why aren't you at home?...
