Runaway with the CEO’s Baby

Chapter 6: Two lever pregnancy test sticks

The pregnancy test strip showed two very dark lines, which she had bought and tested with early on, before she went to the hospital, when her period was overdue! She had actually confused the pregnancy test with a pen! Oh, for heaven's sake! This was the best-selling pregnancy test at the pharmacy, and it looked very much like a pen. An Chuchu bought it a few days after her period stopped, while she was at work. Worried that her colleagues would see, she waited for five minutes after the test, saw only one line on the strip, and then put it away in her bag, reassured. She completely forgot about it until she started vomiting severely, to the point where she couldn't keep anything down, and she went to the hospital. Who would have thought she would mix them up. And in front of the most important CEO of the parent company, she had put it on the big screen, making it known to everyone in an instant! How could this happen, how could she be so embarrassed! An Chuchu's face flushed with shame, having encountered every embarrassing situation possible. It was over, her performance was ruined, and she was about to lose her job too! Oh God, can you please stop playing tricks on her like this, she's a poor single mother! From now on, she must check the almanac before going out. "Sorry, supervisor, it's... my fault," An Chuchu immediately took away the pregnancy test, her face red with embarrassment, facing so many distinguished people in Kyoto. If there had been a crack on the ground, she would have crawled into it. "Dismissed!" Making such a basic mistake, it was obvious that the meeting couldn't continue. Letting An Chuchu speak further would be tantamount to disregarding all the dignitaries of Kyoto. Making a mistake in a meeting has an extremely bad impact on one's image. Especially today, with the great CEO present, the supervisor's heart broke into ripples. "Yes."

An Chu Chu had no face to defend herself. Violating workplace rules and offending the higher-ups were undoubtedly both acts of digging her own grave. If she knew what was good for her, she might still be able to get her unpaid salary. It was impossible to hide it; the pregnancy test stick was irrefutable evidence. Once the company asked her to take a physical examination, it would be confirmed. The previous morning sickness and frequent vomiting had also been seen by her colleagues. She had just said it was gastroenteritis, but now that it was spreading, it would be exposed. She had originally wanted to stay on for a few more months. The Taohuayuan project was the first major task she had taken on... Her future and dreams... all gone down the drain... An Chu Chu's heart was filled with darkness. She picked up her documents and stepped back, while the supervisor wiped his sweat and went back up to clean up the mess. 'Sorry, I will continue to serve all the directors...' An Chu Chu kept her head down, not daring to look below, as if one glance would be pierced by all the mocking eyes present. Before leaving the door, she saw the shining President Huo in the crowd again. This man was actually looking at her too. Wait, what was that ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth? An Chu Chu suddenly felt a fire ignite within her. Damn it, are the rich really that great, that they don't treat people as human beings? She was pregnant, and didn't even know who the father of the child was, let alone his looks, whether he was handsome or ugly, fat or thin. She wanted to laugh too!! To hell with Kyoto, the president, just fire me! I won't serve anymore! An Chu Chu walked out of the conference room, looking like a wilted eggplant, listlessly returning to the design department. 'Chu Chu, why did you come out so soon? Am I seeing things?' Zhao Xiaoyi from the next desk leaned forward, suspiciously rolling her eyes. 'Did you see the big president?'

“Baby, you weren't thrown out for being late, were you?” An Chuchu gave a smile uglier than crying, “It's even worse than that.” To be able to correct one's mistakes and start anew was out of the question for her; she couldn't even stand her ground. Kyoto would not accept a designer who concealed a pregnancy. “What happened? You, you didn't offend the big boss, did you?” Zhao Xiaoyi's mouth formed an 'O' shape, utterly astonished.
