章 17: Georgina's fear
Two months passed...
Georgina walked out of the pharmacy in a hurry while stuffing something into her bag.
dress... dress...
"Oh, damn it!"
Georgina immediately picked up her ringing cell phone, saw an incoming call from Sebastian, and answered it.
"Hello, Baby?"
"Honey, I've been to the mansion to pick you up, but why did you go by taxi instead?" asked Sebastian from the phone.
"Um... Sorry... I'm in a hurry," said Georgina worriedly and at the same time uncomfortable with feeling nauseous and dizzy.
"Okay... I'll pick you up this afternoon, don't come home without me!"
"um ...okay. Don't worry."
"Okay, I'm going to the studio now."
"Hmm..."
to the phone cut off, Georgina breathed a sigh of relief and looked ahead anxiously, imagining what would happen next. She got a pregnancy test kit, and she has to do a test asap because she was suspicious of the nausea and dizziness she's been feeling lately, and she hasn't had her period for more than a month.
"Maybe I'm just sick," she said optimistically, then walked towards the taxi that was waiting for her on the side of the road.

In a cafe with a metallic nuance, Leonardo is enjoying breakfast with Zoe. they sat near the glass wall so they could enjoy breakfast while looking at the morning view which was quite bright but the weather was rather cold so they wore closed clothes.
"I'm sick of my manager," Zoe said languidly, stirring her coffee with a small gold spoon.
"What is it?" Asked Leonardo who looked neatly dressed in a gray suit.
"You'd be mad if you knew what happened."
"I won't be angry, just tell me" Leonardo begged then took a sip of his coffee which was in a white cup. He placed the coffee on the table again and looked at Zoe worriedly. "You have to tell me whatever it is...Your problem will also be my problem, I will help you to solve it," he continued.
Zoe looked down, then back at Leonardo. "He forced me to accept the offer to become an ambassador for lingerie products .."
"Lingerie?"
"I know you will forbid me to accept that, and I do not want to accept it. I don't want your family to hate me, to disappoint you ... but my manager started talking about his services that have helped me all this time, and he said I should follow his advice to become that product model," Zoe explained with a frown, then shook her head. ."I'm so disgusted by his words, I hate him, he made me feel like I owe him, even though I became like this too because of my hard work..."
"Just stop," Leonardo said with a flat stare then returned to sipping his coffee.
"I can't ..." Zoe shook her head with a sad look.
"I'll help you. If it's just a matter of compensation money, or you feel embarrassed to talk to him, I'll help you... I'll help you get out of his cage because you have the right to choose who can work with you...I don't want you to work in discomfort, because actually without working you can get whatever you want with me!" Leonardo emphasized, looking at Zoe with pity who looked so elegant wearing a red dress with a black coat and feathers on the collar. "We'll see him after I finish the meeting," he continued, then drank coffee.
Zoe paused with a look of discomfort, imagining Leonardo talking to her manager and possibly causing conflict.
"As I said, make your hobby a fun job, don't stress it out," said Leonardo.
"I know ..."
"I hope you will take lessons from all of this. And you already know which way is best for you," Leonardo said as he took Zoe's hand. "With me..."
Zoe smiled, then leaned forward to kiss Leonardo on the cheek.
Leonardo smiled blushing, looked at Ginger who sat back then kissed her hand.
'She's feeling disorganized with her job, and that means she's slowly getting sick of it, and I'm her only hope. She won't reject me when I suddenly propose to her, I'm sure of that,' thought Leonardo confidently. he didn't think about Georgina anymore, in fact, he already. hated her since the last time they fought in the car.

Arriving at the office, Georgina was immediately greeted by Renata who looked so worried and put her bag back on.
"Renata..."
"Georgina, I have to go now!" Renata said worriedly. "My boyfriend had an accident and is now critical, I have to go to the hospital!" she continued with teary eyes.
"Oh, my god..." Georgina was confused.
"I have prepared the files for this morning's meeting on the table. Please, you replace me at the meeting later and tell Mr. Leonardo that I have to leave without his permission, this is urgent!"
."Okay, you can go now," Georgina said with a worried look.
Renata left immediately.
Georgina was silent with a tight feeling, sorry to see Renata running towards the elevator as if she wanted to get to the hospital immediately.
."Hopefully her boyfriend will be fine," he said softly, then walked towards Renata's room. Georgina sat silently feeling uncomfortable, continuing to feel nauseous and dizzy and she remembered that she had to take a test this morning because morning tests usually yield accurate results. she glanced at the quiet atmosphere because some of the employees had not arrived, so she decided to go to her the toilet and take a pregnancy test by putting it in the pocket of the dusty pink suit she was wearing.
"Georgina," said a female employee who came and immediately entered her room.
Georgina just smiled, then continued walking towards the toilet.
"Where's Renata?"
Georgina had to stop again and turn to the employee. "she went to the hospital... her boyfriend had an accident and is in critical condition."
"Oh, Lord ...."
"I'll replace her at the meeting later."
"That's how it should be..." the female employee nodded.
"I have to go to the toilet now..."
"Hmm..."
Georgina walked off in a hurry before Leonardo came because that meant the meeting had to start soon. after going through several halls, she finally arrived at the bathroom and immediately locked the door. she took the test kit from her suit pocket and then threw the package into the trash can. she read the guide written on the test kit, then immediately took a test using his urine.
After returning to fixing her clothes, Georgina placed the test kit on the sink and kept looking at it worriedly.
"Humph... I hope it's negative..."
Georgina was very agitated. She walked back and forth, occasionally glancing at the Test kit slowly showing its results.
"please stop!" Georgina exclaimed when she saw that the test kit showed one line, but another line appeared that was only faintly visible.
"What?"
Georgina was confused, took the test, and took a closer look.
"What's this? Is it positive, or not? but if it's positive why isn't the line very visible?"
.georgina was very confused, and not familiar with the pregnancy test kit as it was her first time. she was relieved but also still scared.
"Georgina..."
knock knock knock...
Georgina quickly pocketed the pregnancy test again and then opened the door.
"Freya..."
."You were in too long, are you okay?" asked the female employee named Freya.
"Um... yes, I'm fine," Georgina replied nervously, then held her stomach. "I just have a stomachache. I think I ate something wrong so my stomach hurts now.."
"Oh shit... Mr. Leonardo wants the meeting to be accelerated," said Freya worriedly.
Georgina paused, hearing Leonardo's name, made her wonder if maybe she should talk about what happened to her. .but he hated it, moreover, they had never talked or looked at each other or smiled warmly at each other since their fight in the car...
