Son of Genius: My father's Conglomerate!

Chapter 7: Bitter memories of the past

Impregnant... Impregnant... Pregnant...!!

The word seemed to echo in Shelia's ears, making the brown and white-skinned girl go silent for a moment.

'I'm pregnant? Is it because of that night? How could? I guess since I only did that once, I won't get pregnant.'

Shelia closed her eyes, suppressing all the mixed feelings within her.

"Shelia?!" Daren shook Shelia's shoulder, slowly. Removing him from his daydream.

"What are you gonna do now?" Tanya Daren looked concerned.

Shelia let out a heavy sigh, "what else can I do Daren, I can only let this Child grow in my womb, even though I don't know who left the seeds to me." Shelia smiled forcefully.

"I don't want to kill this innocent child." Added Shelia.

"Your decision is correct, Shelia. I support you!" Daren smiled sincerely.

A few months passed, Shelia's stomach had already begun to stand out. Mr. Charlie and Anna already know that Shelia is pregnant. However, they appreciate and respect Shelia, they ask nothing, only Daren knows the story of Shelia's life. Now that Shelia was deliberately moved to the payment section at the cafe, she became a cashier so that she was not too tired. Seeing the condition of his stomach slowly getting bigger.

"Hey Miss is pretty!" Said a man who suddenly came and spoke to Shelia.

Shelia was so reluctant to turn her head that she simply replied tightly, "didn't you see I was pregnant, do you still want to tease me?" Shelia remained focused on typing on her computer keyboard.

"No problem, even if you're pregnant you're still a very beautiful woman!" The man teased Shelia even more, making her even more careless.

"Basic male-," said Shelia, cut off when she saw who came and teased her this time.

"What men?" The man raised next to his eyebrows.

"Daren!" Screeched Shelia with a clean face, "why are you here?"

"Now I own this cafe!" He said in a proud tone, while folding his hands on his chest.

"Oh yeah?!" Shelia put on an incredulous face.

"What facial expression is that? Are you underestimating me?" Daren has a sour face.

"No..." Shelia shook her head slowly, "just, it's not because of me, is it, Daren?" Shelia can already guess why Daren took over the family business in the culinary field, even though Shelia knows very well if Daren does not have an interest in this field.

"Hey stupid! I want to start, after all, I have been quiet long enough and enjoy freedom. Now it's time to work!" He stretched his muscles while smiling.

Shelia, don't wanna get dizzy. He began to work again, and so did Daren, he began to apply new performance to the workers and various regulations were implemented according to his vision and mission. Except, for Shelia. Daren seemed to give Shelia an exception, it caused envy in the hearts of the employees in this Cafe.

"You see that Shelia, she doesn't do well just sitting there all day, but getting the same salary. And us, what!?" The sighs and scorn of the other employees began to sound, making Shelia uncomfortable to hear, some say that she wanted to trap Daren and make him marry and accept the child in her womb. Some say, if Daren and Shelia have a relationship and she is pregnant with Son Daren, it's just that their relationship is opposed by the Daren family. There is a lot of gossip among the workers.

Shelia had no problem with her bad reputation, she didn't even care. It's just, it's about Daren's good name, he has to think about how to clear Daren's name from all the problems that concern him, he doesn't want Daren to get into trouble.

"But she's pregnant, so she can't work too hard." Say the other female employee.

"Currently, only the illegitimate child does not know its origin, why it should be treated so preferentially." He said while giving a cynical look. Shelia did not want to answer, or fight their words, but what they said was not entirely wrong. This child does not know who the father is, Shelia can only cry in her heart.

"You people! Lack of work, the work is gossiping. You want me to report to Mr Daren? Let it get fired!" Snapped Anna who was suddenly present in their midst.

Making, the two gossiping women passed while grumbling.

"Currently, what does Mr. Daren like about a seductress like her." Hearing the words of one of the women, making Anna's emotions ignite, she already raised her hand about to hit the woman, but soon Shelia stopped her.

"Anna don't!" Shelia shook her head softly, "Have it, let them."

"But their mouths must be taught the manners of Shelia, otherwise they will continue to speak ill of you." Anna said in a high tone.

"Their words are not entirely wrong, Anna. Just let it go." Shelia waved her hands indifferently, Anna just clucked in annoyance. She dislikes the attitude of Shelia who always forbid him to beat the mouth of the ringleader gossip of the employees, Shelia also forbid Anna to report all the events to Daren. Shelia complains and lets Daren punish and even fire them without the slightest salary.

"Curtain, you're too good. Between good and stupid it's got to see the difference, Shelia. We must silence the mouths of those who do not know themselves." Anna folded her hands on her chest with her face grouching in annoyance.

Shelia only smiled gently, she was very happy to have a friend like Anna who loved her sincerely. She even respected Shelia, not asking why she was pregnant and who the baby's father was in the womb.

"Thank you Anna, enough of you care about me. To me, that's more than enough." Shelia held Anna from the side, leaning her head on Ana's shoulder.

Anna, sighing heavily, "sama-sama." He still spoke with a sullen face.

"Have not been angry, the beauty will be reduced! And Daren doesn't want your lyrics." Tempta Shelia, she knows that Anna put a special feeling on Daren.

"What are you saying, obviously Mr. Daren likes you the same." Ana dodged Shelia's gaze, throwing a look the other way.

"We're just friends, you know that, and it'll be like that forever." Shelia explained.

"That's it!" Anna waved her hand no matter what.

"I'm sure one day Daren will see your love for her. Anna...." Shelia muttered inwardly as she looked at Anna's slowly disappearing back.
