Chapter 103
When I arrived at the station, it was already crowded with people.
After finally squeezing onto the bus, I realized there was barely any standing room, let alone handrails.
The bus went on and off along the way, and I swayed back and forth with it, feeling my stomach churn.
Struggling. I managed to get off the car and quickly crawled to the trash bin, where I vomited violently, throwing up all the little breakfast I had eaten.
I took a break for a while before heading to the company building. I comforted myself, thinking that as long as I took the bus a few more times, it would be fine.
After sitting a few more times, I got used to it and no longer felt car
sick.
Arriving at the president’s office, I didn’t know who was having breakfast with leek filling. I smelled that aroma and instantly felt a surge in my stomach.
I quickly found a trash bin and vomited uncontrollably.
After I finished vomiting, I noticed that several colleagues were staring at me with surprised expressions on their faces..
I awkwardly smiled, put away the garbage bag, and said, “Sorry, I’ll clean it up right away.”

After saying that, I ran outside while carrying a garbage bag.
Before, my colleague who helped me change the ink suddenly grabbed me and smirked, “Hey, Esmeralda, did you look in the mirror this morning?”
I shook my head in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“You, with a face as pale as a ghost, didn’t come to work all day yesterday. So, did you spend the whole day in a fierce battle with your chef boyfriend?”
Last time, I brought Reynaldo a breakfast that I made for them to eat. Apparently, they all thought I had a boyfriend who was a chef.
My colleague who changed ink pulled my arm again and said, “Hey, hey, you just vomited like that, are you pregnant?”
I stared at her inexplicably, “What’s the matter?”
“Baby, don’t all pregnant women vomit?”
Puff!
I almost choked, and they mistook a simple car sickness for pregnancy.
However…
Thinking back to that night two days ago at the Humphrey family’s old house, I still felt a little uneasy.
That time, Reynaldo didn’t take any measures. Later, something happened to my grandmother, and I also forgot to buy contraceptive pills. I don’t know if I will get pregnant.

Chapter 103
unease in my heart.
Did I do anything wrong? I just skipped work and forgot to ask for leave yesterday.
Will Mr. Pruitt fire me because of this? After all, I am just a newcomer who has only been here for a few days.
Nervously, I arrived at the CEO’s office.
Mr. Pruitt was leaning back in his chair, drinking coffee.
Seeing me come in, he put down his cup and asked me, “Why didn’t you rest at home for a few more days?”
When he asked this question, his tone was not as gentle as before, but rather tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
I don’t know if it was being absent from work that made him unhappy.
I quickly explained, “Yesterday, I couldn’t come to work because there was something going on at home. I’m sorry. I promise to work hard in the future and won’t take leave without a valid reason.”
