CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Vera's heart pounded violently.

"It was human nature, wasn't it? When you were at your lowest and someone told you they had your back. How could you not feel something?" she silently remarked.

But she forced herself to stay rational.

She knew this wasn't because Caleb had feelings for her.

It was just who he was a man who took responsibility seriously.

The person in his heart wasn't her.

So when she got home, she calmed down.

A few hours later, Caleb texted her, letting her know that he had arranged a meeting with Nash and had secured a dinner reservation. He sent over the time and location.

Vera nearly jumped in excitement.

"This is it! If I can lock in this deal, everything will turn around," she muttered.

But then another thought hit her. She needed something appropriate to wear.

She hurried to her closet and started digging through it, tossing clothes aside in search of something suitable.

The commotion was loud enough to attract the attention of the only person still living in the house with her.
