Chapter 194
Ava’s POV
Last night was a memorable one in our new apartment and it was like with each day that passes, the love that I have for Mason just keeps growing and I loved it.
Getting ready for work, Mason and I stopped at a diner close to the office to have breakfast before going in for work. The nervousness I usually felt whenever we approached the company when the drama of the news about Mason and I first got out was now nowhere to be found.
We finished eating as soon as we could and Mason held my hand as we both got to work and I could swear that I’d already heard a million congratulations today already and the day was just starting.
“Congratulations boss,” one of the directors stopped Mason and I as he bumped shoulders with him before bringing out an envelope, “This is for you.” He added, handing Mason the envelope and pecking me on my cheek as we went about our business.
Lots of people even took the Liberty to come to our office to congratulate us and they brought gifts too. It took Mason, his secretary and I to address the workers so that they would all go back to work and stop fussing around us.
“I really appreciate all the gifts and congratulations but we also have to keep it in mind that this is an office and we have to work here,” Mason started and he looked extremely sexy talking to his employees.
“So, thank you for all of it but we have a meeting in five minutes and I’d like every director to meet us in the conference room.” He finished with a smile.
I handed him some documents and walked him through the meeting before we got to the conference room like I’ve always done.
Work soon started and Mason addressed the board of directors before starting the meeting about who would manage the branch in San Francisco since Mason wanted to oversee the one here in Miami.
“I’ll suggest we take a vote and whoever gets the highest vote gets to manage the branch in San Francisco.” I chimed in and everyone was satisfied with my suggestions.
We took the vote and one of the most competent directors won the vote. Mason affirmed that he would be the one to manage the San Francisco branch and he also picked an assistant for him.
The meeting was going well and soon we decided to select the people that’ll be working in the finance department since Mason had asked all of them to be replaced without leaving a single one since they could’ve been influenced by Chad.
We picked out competent accountants and I was glad to see things running smoothly for Mason, he was starting to look exhausted but we both knew that a break when we just started working was one we couldn’t have.
We worked on the funds Chad and his accomplices had embezzled and it was such a relief when everything was retrieved from the account that he’d hid it in and we added it to run the business.
“Clear the rest of your schedule for today. We need to go to the office of the Federal Marriage registry.” Mason started as we made our way to his office and I raised my brows at him.
I knew he wanted to register our marriage but I didn’t think it was necessary since everyone already knew that we were married.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Is that really necessary, I mean do we need to go there?” I asked as we got to his office and he turned me so I’m facing him properly before claiming my lips with his.
“Yes, it really is mandatory for us to go there,” he answered with a smile, “because I need something to make sure you know that I’ll always be with you and I’ll never leave you.” He finished.
“I know you’ll never leave me but…”
“We’re going.” He affirmed and I let out a defeated sigh. I understood he was trying his best to be a good husband and all I just had to do was let him be the husband he wants to be.
Giving in, Mason and I went to the court to register our marriage and it felt as if we were having another kind of marriage. We signed the papers before going to a restaurant nearby to have dinner and after that we went home.
It was a long stressful day but something about coming home with Mason made it less stressful and I just didn’t want it to end.
My stomach growled and I’d thought it wasn’t something serious but I couldn’t hold it in anymore and I had to run in and out of the toilet.
“This is the third time you’ll be going to the toilet since we got home, are you sure you’re fine?” Mason asked when I got out of the toilet and I groaned.
I had no idea why I’m having this intense tummy ache but I assured him that I’m fine and it’s probably just food poisoning and nothing more.
My stomach growled again and I swear that I felt like crying because I haven’t had any chance to eat anything else but I still managed to empty my bowel.
“Make it stop!” I groaned and Mason looked worried and scared as I ran to the toilet like a penguin. While on the toilet seat, my mind and eyes drifted to my panties and I was expecting to see it stained but nothing was there.
I didn’t get my period last month too and I tried really hard to convince myself that it was normal but I knew it wasn’t normal.
Cold chills ran down my spine as I thought about the possibilities of me missing my period. I couldn’t help but worry especially since Mason and I haven’t said anything about having a child yet.
I silently hoped I wasn’t pregnant while making up my mind to take a test tomorrow.
