章節 7: Chapter 6

I rolled my eyes to make him think that I am not affected by what he said.

"Can you stop with your absurd idea?! If you want a baby, then go and find someone else to carry your child.”

“I don’t want to have a child yet okay? But if it happened then I don’t have a choice but to accept the responsibility. And also, I just said that because from your action right now, you look like a pregnant woman.”

“It may also be because I was so stress.” I said trying to defend myself and stop him from thinking that I might be pregnant.

His forehead creased. "You're stress because of the LHI project?"

"Well... it is one of the reasons. LHI is a big project, everyone in the industry want to get that project. Also, I always wanted to have a project with LHI.” Yes! He believed on my excuse.

He became silent and seriously stared at me.

I became nervous again. I though he already bought my excuse but why did he became so serious all of a sudden. Did he still think that I was pregnant?

"If I give you this project will you not be stress anymore?" He said in a serious tone.

I was stunned. "You will give me the LHI project simply because I’m stress?”

"Why not? I mean I'm satisfied with your presentation. So far your company has the highest chance of getting the project. We still have 2 more companies to meet but I'm planning to decline the meeting and go with your company."

I felt irritated with what he said. “You will not do that! Yes, I wanted to get the LHI project but I wanted to get the project solely because we deserve i and not just because you don’t want me to be stress.”

“Who told you that your company is not deserving to get this project?! Are you deaf? I told you that so far, your company has the highest chance of getting pick for the project because among all the company who presented, your presentation was the best.”

“I only have two more companies to meet and I am pretty sure that you can still beat them. This project was eating a lot of my time because of those meeting. I am just trying to save time and also at the same time, help you to minimize your stress.” He explained in a serious tone.

I pouted my lips still not accepting his explanation. "Still, you will not do that. Continue your meeting with the two companies. Do you have any idea how difficult it was to get a scheduled meeting from your company?!”

“I am very sure that those two companies had hard time to get that scheduled meeting. You can’t just cancel it because of these reasons. They might not be chosen but still, give them their chance to prove themselves for this project.”

Aside from the fact that I am not yet sure if I wanted to really get this project, I can’t just ignore the other companies who also work hard to be chosen for this project.

As what I said awhile ago, getting a scheduled with LHI was no joke. I knew that those two companies will be sad and disappointed because they were deprive of their chance to prove themselves to be chosen in this project. I can’t simply ignore that.

I will never do something that were unjust and unfair to my competitors. I always wanted to play fair, regardless if they will also play fair or not. I do not want to sell my conscience.

I saw him smile. It made me more felt irritated towards him. He was not taking me seriously.

"I did not expect that from you Penelope. I heard that you are very competitive and I also notice that when we had our meeting last week. But I did not expect that you are also considerate of your competitors." He said looking so proud.

“Since we were in school, we were already trained to be competitive, but I want to play fair. I don’t care if other people will not play fair, I will be firm with my principles. I want my parents to be proud of me not just because of my achievements but also with the person I become." I said in a serious.

I felt sad thinking about my parents. I am always like this whenever I mentioned them. I gently touched my belly.

Soon I will not be alone anymore. Twins we can do this okay? Be healthy for mommy.

I feel so full because I ate so much. Even though Ulyses joined me and help me with the food, we were still not able to finished all those foods.

Twins we order so much but we were not able to finished all the foods.

Ullie got the bills. As per him he will pay for our bills and will also pay for the dine due to our leftover.

"Let's go? Or you have plan to go somewhere?" He asked me.

I shook my head. "I'm good. I will go home now."

He nodded and accompanied me to my car.

Twins it seems like we often bond with your dad.
