Pregnant After One Night With The Lycan King

“Yes, Aurora. Bye. Take care” Layla said, stepping out of the taxi which stopped in front ih Nolan’s office.

She disconnected the car before walking in. Nolan had specifically said that the people that the company should not know that they lived together or whatsoever.

So she had to come to work all by herself every morning. That was very stressful for her as she had to walk a few miles away from Nolan’s place before she could find a taxi.

“Good morning Bertha..” She walked past Bertha waving to her.

“Hello Layla…” Bertha waved back with a smile.

“Layla..” Bertha called softly before Layla could walk away.

“Yes..” Layla responded as she stopped in her tracks.

“Can I ask you a question?” Bertha asked in almost a whisper beckoning for Layla to come closer.

“Do you need anything?” Layla queried, stepping closer to Bertha.

“Well…” Bertha began as she chuckled sheepishly.

“How was your trip with the president?” She asked, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“What trip?” Layla creased her brows in confusion.

“The business trip you had with the president of course, why act as if you don’t know about that?” Bertha frowned.

“Oh that..” Layla mumbled, recollecting that she actually went on a business trip with Nolan. A business trip that utterly turned into something else.

“I’m so sorry, it’s just that I put in a lot on my mind…” she apologized as she asked. “What about the trip?”

“Well, there’s actually a rumor going round..” Bertha whispered motioning for Layla to move closer.

“What rumor?”

“That you have something with the president” she whispered to Layla’s ears.

“What!!” Layla examined shifting away from Bertha.

“Wbu told you that?”

“No one, the rumor is flying around..” Bertha shrugged her shoulders.

“Please why would you say that?” Layla fanned her face nervously.

She had no idea how something would come up with this ridiculous rumor, but whoever did that had to look for a way to stop this.

Or Nolan will definitely put the blame on her if anything happens.

“Well the theory is that. You’re the first secretary who is working this long with the president. You’ve actually spent your first month here. Layla that’s a lot!” Bertha shook her head. Though the president was good looking and everyone wanted him. Bertha made sure she was never transferred to his section.

As much as she admired him, she loved her job.

“And the business trip, you guys spent a very long…”

“Look Bertha..” Layla interrupted.

“It’s all a lie. None of this is true. Trust me..”

“I’m only working here because I’ve not been able to find another job and I get a really good pay and I’ve got tolerance too”

“So whatever rumor that is going on is a lie. Hmmm”

“Please spread this news also..” she patted Bertha.

She needed to leave as she would be late for work If she spent a longer time with Bertha.

“Layla..” Bertha called again and Layla noticed that she was staring at her blouse.

“Do you need anything?” Layla asked.

“Not really…”

“It’s just that.. where did you get this blouse from. I mean where did you buy it from..” she chuckled sheepishly at her question.

“Why are you asking?” Layla creased her brows as she took a look at the white blouse with black palazzo pants she was wearing to see if anything was wrong with it.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Your blouse, it’s a limited edition. And your purse. That’s a f*cking hermes Birkin 25!!” She exclaimed and Layla took another look at her purse.

Nolan got her everything she was putting on since he insisted she didn’t bring ‘ rags ‘ to his place.

“And your wristwatch. It’s.. oh my gosh! Your heels!!” Bertha gasped holding Layla’s up as she took a look at her wristwatch.

“Your bracelet is.. don’t tell me you got this with the money from your salary..” she pointed at Layla accusingly.

“This purse alone is worth your five months salary and …”

“It’s a gift..”Layla chimed in.

“A gift?”

“Yes..”

“But from who? I didn’t know you had rich friends..”

“I have to go Bertha, I can’t afford to get scolded by the president..” Layla muttered walking away quickly.

….

“Fuck!!” Layla examined looking at the files stockpiled for her to work on.

“It would take years to get these done..” she grumbled taking her seat.

That kind of work meant there was going to be no rest for her today nor would she go for lunch.

She was still lamenting when she heard the sound of heels clicking.

“Hi Layla..” she looked up to see Carla waving at her.

“Me..” Layla unconsciously pointed at herself.

Was Carla just waving at her? It felt like a dream. The one that would never come true.

“Yes you..” she confirmed with a bright face.

“Is Nolan inside?” She asked as Layla shook her head affirmatively.

“See you around..” she voiced out before going into Nolan’s office leaving Layla in a daze.

…..

“Hi Nolan..” Carla greeted the moment she got into Nolan’s office.

She couldn’t help but admire him.

“Carla..” he called a little surprised.

“What are you doing here?” He asked, dropping his pen on the desk.

“Well I’ll be in New York for the next few days..” she informed.

She came to New York for Layla. She had learnt that Nolan was finally coming to the pack to resume his duties fully as an Alpha and that he would be bringing Layla along.

She didn’t want any of that to happen.

“Suit yourself..” he stated returning his attention to his computer.

“Is that all you’re going to say to me?” She frowned.

“What else do you want me to say Carla?” He drew out, his attention still on his laptop.

“As you can see, I was busy before you came in. So please excuse me, I’ll talk to you later..”

“You can speak with Xander, he’ll arrange an apartment for you and if you need cash. He’ll get you that also..” Nolan informed dismissing her.

“Okay thanks..” she muttered, turning to leave.

…

“Bye Layla..” Carla gesticulated.

“Bye..” Layla uttered, unsure if it was Carla standing in front of her.

“I’ll be in town for a few days and would love it if you take me on a tour, hmm. What do you say?” Carla grilled playfully as Layla looked at her with squinted eyes.

“I’m new here, I don’t know my way around. You can ask someone else..” Layla politely refused.

“That’s great then!!”

“We can go on the tour together. What do you say? Please say yes..” she pleaded.

“I’m not sure Nolan would agree..”

“I’ll talk to him for you, hmm. Once he agrees you can’t say no..” she stated and Layla shook her head slowly.

“Alright I’ll see you soon..” Carla began to walk away from the office as her smile fell the moment she stepped out.

“Seriously?” Layla pursed her lips.

Carla’s sudden kindness confused her. What had gotten into Carla all of a sudden?
