I will have to take what's really mine now. And besides, Nelly's pregnant for Roman. What else is she looking for?
Skipping dinner I went to bed, suddenly realising it was time to tell Mr CEO the truth. I love him do much now and wouldn't want to continue deceiving him.
Closing my eyes,I slept off.
At the office
"What the heck did you just say!" Grace snapped.
" I said I want to reveal my identity to him. I don't want to continue deceiving him." I said again.
" Come on,Kelly! That's too bad of you. You have to stick to your agreement with Nelly.
It's almost six months. It's only fair months left. Don't do anything rash. Nelly loves her job."Grace warned me.
I guessed she was right. Its just fair I wait till Nelly is back then I could go back to my normal life.
Breathing in,I nodded in agreement and stared at Mr CEO'S door. "I hope he forgives me for this " I breathed in, turning to face my computer.
Sara,the receptionist at the ground floor came in with some file. "Mr Owen Gomez said you should pass it to the CEO and also to return all appointments today." She said and waved at Grace before walking back out.
That means,I would have to go inside Mr CEO'S office.
Groaning,I stood up taking the files with me into his office.
Mr CEO glanced up as I came in. "Knocking or calling would have been nice. " He said, surveying my dress with his eyes.
I ignored him and placed the files on his desk. Staring up at him,I pushed it forward.
"It's from Mr Owen Gomez. And he says to return it today.
That's a lot of work forme cos I'm gonna do a lot of recording.
I hope to get a day off tomorrow." I said but Mr CEO misunderstood me entirely as he smiled mischievously.
"A day off? For me?, In my house?" He asked getting up.
I backed away." No!" I said sharply opened the door and ducked out.
Behind the door,I could hear the naughty guy laughing. It was a relief though. Brian now laughs..he now had smiles on his face and gradually I think he's been softening towards Jayden .
Grace stared at me when I rushed over. She laughed and I laughed back,hoping she didn't know happened back there. "You are really amazing.
How did you get to make him laugh like that? Mr CEO'S changing a lot." Grace said.
I was impressed she also noticed his attitudes were changing.
I only shrugged, smiling as I faced my computer.
FIVE MONTHS LATER.....
Nelly's POV
Coming back to Harvard was like another dream come true. Roman had insisted I stayed behind and take care of our daughter but I just couldn't wait to get back to my work...to my position as Brian's secretary.
Why do I harbor so much hatred towards my sister right now?
Did she have to fall in love with Brian? Did she?? It wasn't part of our plan.
His did she got Brian to fall in love with her within few months while I've tried my hardest for the last eight months of me working there?
Getting pregnant for Roman was just a frustration when I couldn't get Brian.
How did Kelly did it within few months?
It was a Saturday and I was certain she would be at home of not out, babysitting again. K knocked once,then twice.
The door opened and a little boy opened it. He looked surprised.
He stared back inside and just then Kelly appeared behind him, equally surprised.
"Nelly! You didn't tell me you were coming today " Kelly started but I brushed past her into the house we once shared. I flung my purse unto a sofa and snapped around to look at her, folding my arms.
"I won't say I missed you cos even if I do, it won't change anything, will it? Where happening? " I asked her.
Kelly stared at the little boy behind her who was still looking so confused at us. "Jayden... Will you go to my room for a moment.. I need to talk. " Kelly said and I watched the boy leave.
" Why are you getting so worked up over this? It just happened!" Kelly said, trying to explain.
I was boiling with anger. " I don't really care how it happened. What were you thinking? Do you even know he's married? Yes.. only I knew about it. That's how close I am with Brian. You shouldn't fall in love with him! " I said becoming more angry.
"Look, Nelly. I think I've tolerated much enough. Don't you dare insult me again! You brought this idea didn't you! What's your problem over that? You even have a child already?" Kelly asked and I laughed sarcastically.
" Oh really? I Know and you fucking don't need to remind me I have a child already. I'm gonna get her a nanny and I will still remain the same and for your information, your job at Patterson is over. I will like to resume my position.. thank you! " I yelled at her, marching away.
Kelly's POV
What has come over my sister? Why is she behaving this way!
Before she could get to the door, I rushed forward and held back her hand, swirling her around to fade me. "Nelly, don't do this. Give me some time so I can tell him myself then you can resume your position."
" And who says I'm gonna tell him? No. I won't tell him anything cos that might affect my work. Let's just secretly switch again just like we secretly switch in the first place. " Nelly said.
I was alarmed. " Do you even know what that means! " I shrieked, letting go of her hand. His could Nelly do this to me after the risk I took for her?
"Of course I know. He will mistake me for you but that's his it's supposed to be. I'm the real Nelly here, aren't I? "
" You are but this is totally absurd! We can't keep fooling him. He has to know the truth. " I said, almost in tears.
Nelly shook her head. " You will do no such thing, Kelly and if you do.. I will hate you for the rest of my life. I promise. " With that, Nelly turned and walked out of the house.
I sat down on a couch and had a good cry. What am I gonna do?
Brian's POV
I pull off my coat, putting it on the coat stand. I was gonna have a busy day ahead of me cos I had so much CV to check out. I was still booting my big computer when Nelly came into my office with my morning tea.
Glaring up at her with a smile,my smile disappeared immediately I set eyes on her. What's wrong with her?
"Morning,boss. Your tea is here. I just got an email from X Prospect. And they would like to book down a meeting with you." She said and placed the tea tray in my table. I was still looking at her. I glared at her from her toes up her head and realized there was something so different about her this morning. Her hips were narrow..her eyes light blue instead of the deep blue I recently noticed.
Relaxing back in my chair,I gave her another quizzical look on the face. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah yeah..sure. I'm fine." She said.
I nodded hesitantly and forced myself to look away.
Strange.
Nelly isn't talking. She's just standing and glaring just like her old self.
I stood up from my seat and started going towards her. I stopped in front of her noticing the way her chest fell and rise. She was so anxious it brought confussion into my head.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked, looking all over at her. Even her old perfume was back and her old dressing style.
"No... nothing...I'm fine." She said, getting too excited. She looked up at me, smiling as if she couldn't believe I was standing in front of of her. "I can't believe this.... you've.. really changed." She said, touching my face.
I tried to smile but I couldn't. The air around Nelly right now is not the one I fell in love with.
I was about touching her hair which seemed different too when the door rushed open and to my surprise,mom came in with Jayden.
Nelly and I turned to look at her.
Mom stared at Nelly and shook her head. "So identical!" She voiced out.
I was further more confused. What's going on here! "What are you doing here with Jayden,mom? Thus is working hour..." I started but mom cut me short.
" There is something you should no! Come in Kelly." Mom said and I stared at the door as it began to open again.
It slowly opened and to my greatest shock.... another Nelly came in, standing before me.
I moved back in shock, bewildered... astonished.... unbelievably!
"Can someone tell me what's happening here!"
