The Secretaries
CHAPTER 26

Darren just made an uproar with the topic of discussion of his employees. He had just had a wedding last night, but this morning he was busy in the CEO's room. It was a lot of questions and news about him.

And this morning Shani just arrived. Andra came to him at home, and the man invited him to go to the office together. Although at this time Shani is facing a big problem, but on the other hand he is quite lucky to have good friends such as Jia and Andra, and Malvin.

Darren who was walking towards the pantry accidentally saw Shani seemed to be joking with Andra.2 people were seen nudging each other's arms. Darren is feeling sad because Shani seems so happy. Andra occasionally tickled her waist. Darren doesn't know what they're doing and talking about, but his feelings are implied jealousy.

...◦○⭕○◦...

Shani knocks on Darren's door, then enters. There's a stack of files that Darren needs to check as soon as possible. And bring it to Darren, it is Shani's duty and responsibility for his work.

“There are some complaint letters that need Mr. Darren follow up. I have marked, and the others are just some common files that need to be checked,” Shani told Darren, then he looked down on his heels.

But just as Shani was about to open the door, Darren suddenly ambushed. Darren shuts back the door that Shani managed to open a little. And the man gets in the way, staring at Shani with an intimidating look.

“I want to go out,” exclaimed Shani flat, her look threatening.

“I want to talk.” Answer Darren.

“Speaking moreover?”

Darren reaches Shani's hand, grasping it. “Are you all right? What did you do when you saw my marriage yesterday to another woman? What are you-”

“Well aja.” Shani answered quickly. “I'm fine. I don't care if you want to marry anyone, it's none of my business.”

Slowly Darren's handrails loosened, out of Shani's hand.

“Remember Darren, you already have a wife. Forget everything, forget me.”

Darren stared silently at Shani with deep disappointment. Once again his heart was broken. His love for the woman was neglected, even seemed reluctant to be obtained again by Shani.

Shani brushed off Darren telling the man to step aside. And Darren holds Shani's arm and doesn't want to let her go again. His gaze became sharp as Shani began to try to release her grip.

“Do not lie, Shani. I know you love me too. Why are you fooling your own heart?” Darren shook his head as his grasp tightened. “Do not lie,”.

Shani was silent looking at Darren's eyes with tears. “I hate. I hate everything!” pekik Shani continued to push Darren very strongly, then he rushed away leaving the room.

Shani walks a little briskly running towards the toilet. He started leaning against the toilet door, crying, and getting more and more excited. What he just told Darren was, he hated everything, especially his feelings for loving the man.

...◦○⭕○◦...

Day after day, walk without excuse. Shani's gestational age is 2 months. And reportedly, Zaila is also pregnant about 2 weeks.

Wirawan and Fiona who are staying up to date want to immediately claim a grandson Darren cannot avoid. His heart refused, but because both of Zaila's parents also forced the two to have children immediately made Darren's dilemma. And yes, Darren had to do it with a wife he had not loved until now.

Darren and Zaila honeymooned for a day, supposedly they spent 1 week. But because Darren did not want to take long and make work as an excuse, Zaila also said. At least Darren was willing to take away his rights as a husband.

And the big news that the Argantara family will soon get a new breed makes Shani even more injured. His days are growing more bitter. Pregnant young with nothing to help and sometimes passing morning sickness alone, very sad.

Every day Shani tries hard. Shani tries to survive. The little angel in his stomach also needs to be cared for and cared for, so he has to be extra careful.

Sometimes Jia happily brought him fruits, sometimes even food that Shani asked for. Shani doesn't know why Jia is that understanding. Even almost every day Jia inquires about what Shani wants to eat.

Shani suspects that Jia knows something. But Jia always looks for reasons that make Shani respect her. Jia says if she does not want Shani to be sick and grim, she just wants to help and just take care of Shani because she is far from family.

And Shani also ignored the awkwardness. Jia has been kind to him, sincere, also sincere. Shani is unlikely to bring up the good with unsubstantiated accusations. So Shani only accepts Jia's kindness. Shani just kept quiet, and thanked me.

...◦○⭕○◦...

But when Shani turned around, Darren's face already seemed to gasp there. I don't know how long Darren has been watching Shani from behind just as the girl orders and gets her vitamins and chocolate-flavored pregnant milk. And finally Darren knows everything.

Darren plans to buy an order of nausea-relieving drugs that Zaila told him to at the pharmacy, but what exactly does he get? For whom would Shani buy that pregnant milk if not for himself? And again, is Shani really pregnant?

Their eyes were wide open to each other. Shani's chest is pounding. And Darren, he's no less panicked.

Without any chirps Shani immediately rushed away. "Shani!" darren called him. Shani doesn't budge, Darren follows.

It felt like Shani wanted to run, scream, then vanish from Darren's sight. But because of her condition, Shani can only hold her stomach while walking fast. Darren who was not burdened by anything nimbly equalled the steps of the woman.

"Shani, stop!" Darren pulls Shani's right arm to the point of making her flinch to a stop.

Shani held back her tears. He can't cry. Especially if it was in front of Darren, his secret should be able to be maintained.

"Why?" shani asked trying to be calm.

Darren was silent for a moment, staring at the girl's eyes. "You pregnant?" tanyanya guess.

"No." Shani's reply sounded certain, but the look in his eyes said something else.

"Stop lying, Shani. You're pregnant, right? What's that milk for?"

"This is my neighbor's seat. She's the one who's pregnant, not me." Shani is lightly.

"Why did you go that way? Is there something you want to cover up?" Darren keeps bluffing.

"What do I need to cover from you? Nonexistent. Nothing at all."

"Lied!" Darren snaps. "I know you're full of falsehoods. You're pregnant, right? Whose son is that?"

"I'm not pregnant. Do I need to yell at everyone here so you can believe?" Shani took a pause for a moment. "I'm not pregnant, Darren. Stop nosy of my life."

Darren's face is crooked as Shani's eyes look teary. Without warning Darren starts dragging Shani into his car. Daren doesn't care if she screams to be released, Darren just wants to wake Shani up if he can't lie to her like this.

Darren started driving his car. He takes Shani away from the crowd. Shani can only be stunned to find Darren's familiar attitude to her. Shani is sure that after this Darren will definitely act recklessly. Shani scared.
