Chapter 61
He sighed as he stared into her beautiful face. He felt so tempted to kiss her but then his eyes moved towards her tummy as it dawned on him that she was pregnant. He sighed softly and carried her in his arms to his car.
The car screeched to a halt in front of Daniel’s mansion. He climbed out of the car and carried pregnant Lisa in his arms. Lisa was so heavy. He carried her straight to her room and helped her lay on the bed properly.
He removed her shoes and dropped them on the ground. He can’t wake her to go take her bath and eat dinner because from the look of things she was looking really tired. He doubted if she knew how she got home.
He sighed and pecked her softly on the forehead before walking out of the room. And there he met ma’am Lois coming to Lisa’s room, holding a tray of food.
“I think she’s too tired to eat. Just change her clothes for her” Daniel said to her
“What about you? Aren’t you having dinner?” Ma’am Lois asked
“No, I’m fine,” he said before walking inside his room.

It was Daybreak and another day to be precise. Lisa had woken up in a rush because she was a little bit late for work.
She began to wonder how she got home last night and how her clothes had changed. She wondered if it was Daniel.
After she finished taking her bath, she got dressed and was about to leave the room when she saw ma’am Lois coming in.
“Good morning, ” Lisa said and ma’am Lois smiled
“Morning dear. I was about to come to your room to keep your clothes. I had helped you change into your night wears and I decided to wash them for you ” ma’am Lois said
“Oh, you shouldn’t have gone through that stress. It wasn’t necessary. Thank you ” Lisa said and took the clothes from her then dropped them on the bed.
She felt ma’am Lois was one of a kind. She was so kind towards her and sincerely she must say she loves her a lot.
“Breakfast is served. You should eat before going to work” ma’am Lois said
“Oh, what about Daniel? Is he up yet?” Lisa asked
“Yes, but he didn’t eat breakfast. He had left for the company early this morning. He said the driver will bring you to the company ” she said and Lisa nodded.
“Please help me pack up some food for him so I can give him at the company later today,” Lisa said and ma’am Lois nodded in response.

Lisa had gotten to work, she and her team checked the project and realized Lisa had done a pretty big work on it last night.
“Oh my goodness Lisa, this is so mind-blowing, ” Martha said in awe.
“I just hope we win,” Lisa said and the rest of them sighed. When it was finally time for the presentation, Lisa was asked to present it which she did. At first, she felt so nervous but she was able to calm herself down later saying to herself she is doing what she loves.
At first Daniel, his PA, and some other top people who were going to be the judge of the day were surprised by Lisa. They felt she just came to the company’s week ago and now she’s presenting. They felt she was going to present rubbish.
Lisa sighed softly looking at all the faces staring at her. Daniel noticed and smiled at her then gave her the look “you can do it little miss preggy”
Lisa smiled back and nodded in response.
“Are you gonna stand there smiling or are you gonna tell us about the project your team worked on?” an old man said and Lisa sighed softly before starting the presentation.
She was dismissed and other groups were asked to present theirs too which they did but in the end, Lisa’s group project was found to be the best of all. Daniel without thinking twice took it from them.
Everton was surprised and wondered how Lisa and her teams came up with such a project. They were congratulated and Martha told them it was all Lisa’s idea, they just supported her.
“No!! We did it together” Lisa said and hugged Martha. She then hugged Derek, Julia, and joy. She moved toward Dina and hugged her too but she noticed Dina winced in pain.
“Are you alright?” Lisa asked as she quickly pulled away from the hug.
“Yes I’m fine,” Dina said and smiled.
“No you’re not,” Lisa said and opened a part of her clothes then saw an injury on her body like she was beaten. This was similar to the kind of sore she had gotten from Alfred in the past.
She wondered if Dina was being maltreated. She had gone through that before and she knows if it felt like hell fire hell was better. She definitely can’t watch another person go through what she went through.
“Dina….” Lisa was interrupted by the sound of Daniel.
“Congratulations, ” Daniel said and Lisa smiled at him.
“I need that project you guys worked together on. We will be having a visitor today and you would be the one presenting it to them. Just do it the way you did it just now” Daniel said and Lisa nodded in response.
She felt this was an opportunity for her. Her father had the same company as Daniels and there was some height he wanted to get to but couldn’t because death cut him short and now she was going to attain that height and even more than that. She was going to make momma and papa proud.
A company worth more than his was visiting him today and would like to see what they got before signing a project with them.
“Seems they’re here,” Daniel said as a text popped into his phone.
“Let’s go and welcome them,” Daniel said and walked away with Lisa by his side.
“Welcome Sir,” Daniel said and shook hands with the man while Lisa stood there her mouth opened in shock as she saw Mr. Hector.
She thought he had died, what was he doing here?
