Tears Of A Wife novel Chapter 33

I woke up the next morning feeling heavy. My head hurt so bad that it felt like breaking. My stomach churned, as if it had been dug into. Even if it's difficult, I forced myself to stand up. I immediately went to the bathroom and vomited at the sink.

I touched my belly as I continuously vomited even if it only released water because of vomiting so much, it still won't stop. I am in my first trimester of pregnancy. The child inside me wants to make it hard for his/her mother. Aside from losing a lot of weight, my thinning body was also evident.

"Miss Olive! Oh my God!"

I heard Jenny in her usual hysterical tune. I also felt her hand on my back, caressing it slowly. I didn't mind her and forced myself to act accordingly. I hate this feeling of unstoppable puking but maybe I needed to experience it. Pregnancy is hard.

"Are you fine now, Miss?" Jenny asked after a few moments.

I nodded in reply after I finished washing my face. I took the towel from the cabinet and wiped my face. After that, I turned to Jenny who's beside me. Her eyes mirrored concern over me.

I held her shoulder and smiled. "I'm fine, Jen. Just assist me for a bit, please," I mumbled. I'm still dizzy, but it was better and more bearable than earlier.

Jenny assisted me towards my bed. I immediately sat down at its edge. I asked her to take my vitamins and she did. I quickly drank it. It was four different tablets for me and for the baby. For both our safety, especially that my case is fragile.

"Thank you, Jen." I was smiling as I faced her after I took the vitamins.

"I'll just bring you food," she muttered. She's in front of me and I can feel her fear because of what happened.

"Don't look at me like that!" I took her hand and smiled when I felt it shaking. "I will be fine now. In fact, this is my first day of work. Remember?"

"But you're not feeling well, Miss. You're still working?" she whined. Disagreement was evident in her voice.

I chuckled softly. I stood in front of Jenny. I felt better after I sat down for a while. Today is my first day of work. I cancelled all my appointments for the past month because of what happened. I can't miss work today. My secretary will be fuming mad if ever.

"I am the boss, Jen!"

I left Jen who was still sulking. I went to my dressing room and picked some clothes for myself. I chose a comfortable floral dress. It reached until my thighs. I partnered it with flat sandals.

I looked back to my secretary and nodded. But the truth is, I wanted to just go back to my house. Away from Atlas. Far and far away.

******

Atlas' intense gaze was piercing through me. I can feel it bore holes on my skin as he walks closer to the couch I'm sitting on. Nonetheless, I forced myself to go to him even if my knees were wobbling.

"In my office Mr. Ramirez," I uttered when I got in front of him.

There was a lump in my throat but I managed not to stutter. I want him to see that I can face him without any confusion. Without any emotional attachment. That I can live without him. That I can face him in restraint.

"Follow me," I added.

I quickly turned my back on him. I didn't wait for his reply. I abruptly continued my pace and walked straight to my office. I sighed in relief when I finally entered my office and sat on my swivel chair. I waited for Atlas to come in and in a few minutes, he showed up. His stares were still the same.
