In Bed With Her Shithead Boss (By Ellie Wynters) novel Chapter 342

Blair adjusted her posture in the leather chair, trying to find a comfortable position…an impossible task at eight and a half months pregnant. The air conditioning in the office provided some relief from the summer heat, but nothing could ease the constant pressure on her lower back or the way her ankles had swollen to twice their normal size.

Next time, she told herself, she was going to plan better… because there was no way she was carrying another baby to term in summer.

"Mrs. Kingston, the designers are ready for you," her assistant let her know, poking her head through the door.

"Thank you, Rebecca." Blair gathered her tablet and presentation materials, as she levered herself out of the chair. The last trimester hadn't been easy… her normally energetic pace reduced to a waddle, her sleep disturbed by the acrobatics of her baby, who seemed determined to use her bladder as a trampoline.

Blair was glad Keira and Alexei had held off their wedding until after she gave birth. It hadn't been so bad for Sutton's wedding, but now, at the end of her pregnancy, she felt like an elephant.

Still, Blair wouldn't trade a moment of it. Not when each kick and hiccup reminded her of the miracle growing inside her. This pregnancy felt like the most precious gift.

She made her way to the conference room, where the Warner Industries designers and guest designers awaited her seasonal presentation. Despite her condition, she'd refused to slow down, determined to prove that motherhood and leadership weren't mutually exclusive. Roman had been supportive but concerned, constantly reminding her to pace herself.

As she walked into the room, the conversation hushed briefly before the designers rose to greet her.

"Mrs. Kingston, you're positively glowing," said Alec, one of their guest designers, as he pulled out her chair.

Blair smiled as she settled in. "Thank you, Alec. Though I suspect what you're seeing is mostly perspiration. Carrying an extra person in this heat is quite the workout."

Laughter rippled through the room. Blair had worked hard to build rapport with the designers over the past year, turning her parents' company around and expanding its reach. Growing on their vision. The financial results spoke for themselves… profits up twenty-eight percent, three successful new product lines, and a marketing strategy that had rejuvenated the brand's image. She had someone ready to take over while she took time off—Brandi, who sat quietly in the corner, ready to step in after today.
