Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

63



In her honest opinion, driving a car was not as convenient as taking a cab because not being able to sleep during the journey was a torment to her.

She had to walk some distance to her office located on the top floor of the building after parking her car in the parking lot.

Nelly suddenly had a feeling as if someone was following behind her as she walked.

However, when she turned around, there was no one behind.

She scanned her surroundings and saw that the parking lot was empty.

After that, Nelly continued to stride ahead while wearing a frown.

The silhouette of a person appeared in a corner behind her after she entered the elevator.

When she returned to the Programming Department, Chris immediately walked up to her. “Are you free tonight, Boss?”

Nelly looked at him. “What’s the matter?”

“My little sister said she wishes to meet with you.”

“Why does she want to meet with me?” Nelly furrowed her brows. She was baffled by that request.

“You are her savior, so she wishes to meet with you.”

“If I am her savior, then what are you?” Nelly asked him.

“That’s different!” Chris replied.

“Nope. I’m not going,” she rejected. She would not enjoy or be used to a situation where others thanked and revered her.

He frowned. “But it’s her birthday today. That’s her only birthday wish. How should I explain to her if you’re not going?”

Nelly might put up a tough exterior, but she was actually a soft-hearted person.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She was stumped after hearing Chris’s words.

“Boss, just go and meet with her. I promise it wouldn’t take much of your time,” he added.

At that moment, Ross and Tommy came over. “That’s right, Ms. Jackson. Just meet with her. Chris’s little sister is a young lady with a nice personality. She’s been thinking about you all the time. You can think of this meeting as fulfilling her wish.”

“Yes, that’s right. She’s been expressing her desire to meet with you for a long time.”

Nelly contemplated briefly while staring at the two newcomers. “Fine. The two of you should join me.”

“Us? Why should we go?” Ross and Tommy piped up simultaneously.

She grinned at them. “Isn’t today her birthday? Naturally, we are going to organize a birthday party.”

Chris gazed at her. “Are you agreeing to meet with her?”

“I’ll make myself clear now. If she expresses her gratitude or tells me she’s thankful later, I’ll leave at once,” Nelly said.

“I can guarantee you’ll never listen to any of that.” Chris shook his head firmly.

She had no other choice but to agree to his request.

After Chris left, Nelly told Ross and Tommy to stay.

“Both of you need to do some shopping.”

“What are we buying?”

“Food, drinks, or anything to play with. Just buy some things the little girl likes,” she elaborated.

“In that case, I’ll order all the stuff online and have them delivered to the hospital directly?”

“Sure.”

“I’ll purchase the items that I feel suitable then.”

Nelly looked down and tapped her phone a few times. Then, Ross’ phone rang. “Put the expenses on my tab.”

Ross looked at her. “Ms. Jackson, I know you’re a rich lady, but I can still afford to pay for this.” After saying that, he returned the money to Nelly.

“Okay. Dinner is on me then,” Nelly said.

Hearing her offer, Ross and Tommy’s eyes gleamed. “In that case, we shall not hold back in accepting your kindness.”

“You two do not strike me as people who would hold back anyway.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Jackson.”

Ross and Tommy left after they exchanged some sarcastic remarks.

Nelly was about to place down her phone and prepare to work when she suddenly saw Lara’s newly added contact on her device.

She was reminded of Lara’s personality. By right, she should hate me. Why did she suddenly ask to add me on WhatsApp? Perhaps…

Nelly clicked on Lara’s profile picture and the link to her Instagram account that was attached to her WhatsApp description.

She saw a picture of her and Alpha Kilian. He was sleeping while she stayed by his side. The picture gave off an affectionate vibe, and the caption about her keeping him company was very touching.

The background of the image was unclear, but the photo and the caption alone were sufficient to flaunt their intimate relationship.

Nelly could not help but smirk after seeing the picture.

I suppose this is Lara’s goal.

At that thought, Nelly, having a mischievous character, double-tapped on the picture to like the photo.

Sometimes, blessing others to have their wish granted is a virtue. I think I am the most virtuous person alive.

After that, she placed her phone aside and began working.

Her mood was not at all affected by Lara’s Instagram post.

Instead, she felt extremely cheerful.

After work, Chris left first because he wanted to collect the cake.

Ross and Tommy gathered around. “How are we going there, Ms. Jackson?”

She stared at them. “I assume you two know how to drive?”

They nodded.

Nelly tossed her car keys to them. “You two drive the car then.”

Ross and Tommy gaped at the car key in front of them. In the end, they tacitly played rock-paper-scissors to decide who got to be the driver.

As a result, Tommy won the game. He delightfully took the keys and went to the parking lot.

Ross could not accept the outcome. He walked up to him and suggested that they drive half of the journey each.

They arrived at the parking lot amidst their discussion.

Nelly went ahead and sat in the backseat.

Ross and Tommy gazed at her in astonishment. “Ms. Jackson, you’re not sitting in front?”

“I want to take a nap. You two be quiet,” she said.

God only knows how excited Ross and Tommy were after listening to her because they could now admire the car as they liked and pretend as if they owned the car to their hearts’ content.

Then, they started the car.

Initially, Ross and Tommy were still able to contain their exhilaration as they had never imagined the day they could drive a Phantom.

However, they began to lose control of their excitement halfway through the drive.

Ross sat aside and took a lot of pictures.

Tommy said, “Take some pictures of me. Make sure I look good.”

“Are you going to let me drive later?”

“All right, sure!” Tommy replied.

Only then did Ross cooperated with him and took a few pictures for Tommy.

However, the latter was obviously dissatisfied with the photos. “What’s with the terrible quality of the photos you’ve taken? These won’t do. You need to retake the pictures.”

“I think they’re fine.”

“They certainly are not fine! Are you retaking the pictures or not? If you’re not going to help me, then I won’t let you drive!”

The sound of their argument awoke Nelly in the end.

She regarded them with a look of resignation.

Why did I come with these two idiots?

She gazed out of the car window, and when she saw them passing by a store, Nelly was reminded of something. “Stop the car on the side of the road ahead.”

Tommy heard her. He immediately turned on the signal lights and brought the car to a halt on the roadside.

“What do you want to do, Ms. Jackson?”

Nelly did not reply. She directly opened the car door and got out of the car.

The two men sat inside the vehicle and waited. They saw her enter a gift shop and were discussing Nelly’s intention of going in there when she exited the shop while hugging a very big teddy bear.

Inexplicably, even though Nelly was considered a beauty, the sight of her holding a human-sized teddy bear still seemed comical.

Perhaps it was because Ross and Tommy were too familiar with her personality, so they found that scene unmatching with her usual demeanor.

Ross dutifully got out of the car and helped Nelly open the car door. She stuffed the teddy bear into the backseat before getting into the vehicle herself.

“Ms. Jackson, did you buy that for Chris’s little sister?” Ross asked.

“Isn’t that obvious?” Nelly questioned him.

“No, it’s nothing. The bear is adorable!” he lied.

She could not care less about their opinion. “Hurry up and drive the car.”
