Chapter 66: Chapter 66
Victor was sitting in the conference room with a bunch of people he didn't even want to meet but his secretary just had to arrange a meeting which his managing director would have handled. As much as he was the boss, he didn't find their topic of discussion any amusing but he sat there listening while he played with his phone
It was almost night time and he didn't know why he wanted to go home early. Firstly he was happy because his surrogate was pregnant, the IVF was successful and after nine months he was going to be a father. He was willing to do anything to make sure the child was born healthy
His little surrogate was careless but he planned to get her in line soon how was that possible when she was going against all his rules. Recalling what happened in the morning, he shifted his eyes to his hand and saw the faint red mark which was still there. After so many warnings of her staying away from him, she chose to go against him and he had no choice but to let her be his so-called personal maid as she wanted
To be honest, he failed to understand why every little penny was important to his surrogate. She was thorough in everything she did and wondered how her family dealt with her. and now that he thought about it he didn't bother to check on her background
He needed to find out her family background, how her parents felt about her being a surrogate because carrying someone's child was a risk
"Damn it" he cursed out loud as he slammed the phone on his table without realizing that he was with people. The four men seated and one man doing the presentation looked at him and he knew he blew it
"And as I was saying...this construction will be the best we ever made for you sir...the new offices will be on different floors giving a huge space for working"the man concluded with that and awkwardly sat down and Beverly who knew her boss had been lost in thoughts nodded as she turned to Victor
"Just do what's needed...I want this building completed within five months" Victor regained his wits and said like a boss he was. He wanted a new building for his work hence the people before he was the construction workers presenting the entire structure
"Rest assured sir"the man presenting said and the five of them rose to their feet and Beverly guided them out of the conference room. Victor exhaled he took his phone and prepare led to stand but Beverly walked back in
"Sir... everything is done for the day...do you need anything"Beverly remarked with a smile but Victor waved her off and before he could go his phone was vibrating. It was a call from home. His eyes narrowed as he answered it and connected to his ear
*Yes" he said as he left from there heading to the door and when he was just about to open the stopped hearing the news he got
"Wait for me and call Maverick now" he gave his orders and disconnected the call and rushed away hoping everything was fine.

"What's wrong with her?"Monica asked immediately. Leo rushed in with Vivienne in his arms and took her straight to the living room. He was disturbed not sure what happened. A moment ago she was laughing with him and cracking jokes but later she started fitting. He thought she ate something bad but they shared the same ice cream and he was fine
"Vi...sweetie... you'll be fine"Leo was agitated and anxious as he rubbed her hand. Her pinkish skin had turned pale white and her lips were dry. She was still unconscious despite everything he did to make her wake up and to top it up, Monica who was giving him a headache asked so many questions that he had no time to answer. He already asked Kyan to call Vivienne's doctor but he wasn't back yet since he remained outside
"Just call the doctor damn it!" he growled out as he tried to wake her up. He was scared not sure what was wrong with her
"Oh please, this girl is a faker I'm sure she's just trying to get some attention"Monica scoffed as she gracefully sat down and picked up her phone, and concentrated on it. She flipped her hair off her shoulders and crossed her legs as she watched Leo up bother with the likes of Vivienne. She was irritating and knew how troublesome she was and now she was sure Vivienne was faking it
Time passed by and Leo had taken Vivienne to her room and Maverick was busy attending to her. Victor already arrived and he was furious. He forbade anyone to even get close to his surrogate.
"How is she?"Victor asked as he walked around to the other side of the bed and fixed his eyes on his unconscious surrogate. She was a place and he didn't like that. Maverick nodded as he draped his stethoscope around his neck and looked up at Victor who was waiting to hear what he had to say
"Well...it seems she isn't eating as I suggested...she's weak Victor, "Maverick said as he walked around and Victor's eyes narrowed suspiciously. He gave all the instructions to the people around so why were they failing
"How come?"Victor asked, he was aware of what he and to do and what a pregnant woman needed but this one he was angry
"Pay attention to her diet...she shouldn't stress...she needs special attention" Maverick added and Victor nodded
After a while, Maverick left leaving only Victor in the room. His eyes narrowed as he looked at his surrogate just as she stirred. He grew alert and saw that she was waking up. So much for letting her be his maid. Did she clean his room and arranged his room and made sure everything was in order
"W...water" he heard her mumble as she tossed and turned, Victor didn't waste time but rushed to get the bottle of water on the side table just near her bed. Her eyes were closed hence he took the bottle and sat carefully beside her and hesitated before he could make her drink. He didn't know what to do. Was he supposed to make her wake up and drink herself or make her drink?
Victor was confused but when she saw her weak she looked he had no choice than lift her halfway and make her drink
"Water" she muttered again and he put the bottle on the table and reached for her shoulders. He grabbed her securely and gently pulled her up into a comfortable sitting position. She couldn't even sit on her own and her eyes were blurry as if she was struggling to open them.
Victor let out an exhale of frustration as he carefully wrapped his arms around her back just to secure her. Unfortunately, his surrogate wasn't in the mood to sit on her own because she instantly snuggled on his chest like a helpless child and went quiet.
Victor froze in place as he looked down at her face but her red hair had fallen over her face hence he couldn't see her
"Damn it" he muttered as he slowly reached for her face wondering why he had to deal with her. However, she was pregnant with his child he and to do it hence he tried to remove her hair but she ended up grabbing his hand and draped it over her body and snuggled even more to his chest as her arms wrapped around him shocking Victor who's eyes widened in awe
Was she sleeping or awake because she was touching him and getting her way?
"Ms. Payton?" he called out to her softly as he tried to make her wake up fully. He murmured hoping she would regain consciousness and see what she was doing because by now she was mumbling something he didn't understand
The door to the bedroom opened, getting Victor's attention as he looked up but averted his eyes when he saw his servant bring in the freshly made dinner for his surrogate. He didn't even care the position he was in as he waved the two servants away and by now his surrogate was half away and rubbing her eyes lazily.
