CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Caleb emerged from the bathroom, his expression completely neutral, as if nothing had happened. That, at least, spared Vera some of the lingering awkwardness.

Still, her mind kept flashing back to what she had seen-the broad chest barely covered by the towel, the long legs that looked even longer than hers.

She quickly shoved those thoughts away.

"You okay?" she asked, clearing her throat. "The water cuts off occasionally around here.

"It didn't used to happen much, so we never really got around to fixing it," she added, feeling slightly guilty.

Too much had happened with her family, and something like inconsistent water pressure had never made it onto the priority list.

Now, she kind of regretted that oversight.

Luckily, Caleb didn't seem bothered. "I'm fine. I already finished showering."

Vera let out a breath of relief. Then she remembered the real reason she had come downstairs.

"Oh, right. Do you think Nash will send someone to inspect the factory?"

"He probably will," Caleb said after a brief thought. "Knowing him, you'll hear from someone within a day or two."

That wasn't just false reassurance.

Nash had always been a man of efficiency. He wouldn't waste time once a deal was set. If he had chosen to work with the Mason Corporation, then an inspection would follow immediately.

Vera nodded, then hesitated. "You and Nash seem pretty familiar. Could you tell me more about him? Anything that might help me with the project?"
