The day came by swiftly. Work that needs my personal approval has piled up and the whole day I was on my desk working. "Jill it's nearly five. You have been in the office the whole day." Andrea said. "Why not get some rest before going home." I look at the time on my wrist watch and it was half past four already. "It's this late already." I sighed. Looking at the paper work piled on my desk, I am still far away from the halfway marker. "Troy will pick you up right?" Andrea asked. "Get a breather before he gets here." "Yeah, you're right." I said. "My feet feels a little stiff after sitting for so long." I stand up and gently stretch my limbs. "Aww." I flinched. "What is it?" Andrea was startled. She ran right beside me in no time, looking worried. "It's nothing don't worry." I smiled. "It was just the twins. They moved all of a sudden that I felt some pain." Andrea sighed in relief. "I think they are telling their mommy to rest. You have been so busy." I giggled. "I guess you're right. Oh they are still at it." I was nearing my third trimester and the twins are so big now. I can feel their every movement and sometimes it hurts when they move abruptly. "Can I feel them?" Andrea asked. "Sure." I replied. She lightly placed her hands on my tummy. "Oh my. They are really moving." Andrea giggled. "They are very energetic." "I know right." I giggled too. 'Knock knock' Andrea and I looked at the door. "I think Troy is here." Andrea said. I look at my watch and it was still a few minuted before five. The door opened and Sarah came in. "Ms. Jill, Mr. Adrian Montgomery is here to see you." Sarah said. "Adrian?" I said curiously. "But it is rather late." "Mr. Montgomery is really something." Andrea exclaimed. "It is nearly your time out when he visits." A sour look is shown in Andre's face. "It's okay Andie. We can't complain now, can we." I calmed her. "You know that Adrian is also a busy man and his time is precious." "Well your time is precious as well, hmph." Andrea said. I giggled looking at Andrea. She is my best friend and I know she is getting irritated in my place. "Sarah please tell Adrian to come in." I said. "Yes, Ms. Jill." Sarah said and walked outside. After a few minutes the door opened and Adrian walked inside with his assistant. "Good afternoon Adrian." I greeted with a smile. "Good afternoon Jill. It's good to see you after quite some time." Adrian answered with a smile. "How are you feeling?" "I'm good, thank you for asking. Please seat down." I gestured him towards the couch. "What brings you here today?" I also take my seat. "Well I would like to discuss with you the plans for the N city Grand Mall project." Adrian said. The big project that my company and the Montgomery Business Empire is working hand-in-hand is the N city Grand Mall. It will be the biggest mall to date here inN city once it is done. "Is there any problems?" I asked curiously. As far as I know there wasn't any problems whatsoever and the work is going smoothly. "The drafts from the architect has just been submitted and I would like to talk to you about it." Adrian said. "Yes, I just saw the documents today." I replied. "But it is rather late. We can discuss this tomorrow." It was nearly five in the afternoon and I am sure Troy is on his way to pick me up. "I'm sorry Jill but you know that I am a busy man. And I only have this evening free." Adrian said with a smile. "If you want we can discuss this over dinner. My treat." I was silent for a second. 'The N city Grand Mall is a big project that needs to be on top priority. If I decline Adrian will it affect the partnership?' I was debating if I would accept or decline his offer. It is also beyond working hours. "Mr. Montgomery. As you know Ms. Jill just recovered and also needs rest. Her husband is almost here to pick her up." Andrea interjected respectfully. "Oh, is that so?" Adrian made a chilling smile. "Jillian, you know that this project is important to your company. It will be the stepping stone for a bigger future. I am sure your husband would understand." I look at him carefully. I can feel that he won't take a no for and answer. "I understand Adrian." I smile at him just for show. 'This man is so overbearing.' I thought to myself. My phone rang and see that Troy was calling. "Excuse me. I'll need to take this call." I said. "Sure." Adrian smiled. I walked out and answered the phone. "Hello love, are you ready?" Troy asked over the phone. "Sorry love, something came up." I sighed. "What is it?" Troy asked. "Adrian just came and wants to talk about the designs for the N city Grand Mall project over dinner." I sighed. "And I can't decline."
