Night gradually fell.
In Stone Manor, Nash had just taken a shower. He leaned against the headboard as he spoke to Hera over the phone.
Hera said excitedly, “I’ve been keeping up with the happenings of Sagen. Melody is so cool for causing this much ruckus in Sagen’s business world in just one day!”
Nash smiled slightly. “You should learn from her. Either make no moves or surprise everyone the minute you decide to strike. The business world is like a battlefield. Things are changing constantly, and you’d be making an irresponsible choice by deciding to show your enemies any mercy!”
Hera giggled. “I’m doing pretty well myself, alright? The employees now act like they’ve seen a ghost whenever they catch sight of me!”
“Indeed, you’ve made a lot of progress!”
Nash stared at Hera, who was wearing a sleeveless top. He asked in a gentle voice, “Have you been eating? Don’t starve yourself, baby!”
“I’ve been eating so much. Jesebel prepares amazing food every day!” Hera replied.
“Delegate as many tasks as you can. Don’t tire yourself out!” Nash wished he could get Hera to just stay home and focus on herself and the baby, but he knew she would get restless. Hence, all he could do was remind her to take it easy.
“I’m just sitting idly and watching things happen now. Eva is amazing. She’s doing a great job with both Baroque Group and Innovate Collective. I must say, you’ve got a knack for selecting talent!”
“Of course. Have you forgotten whose husband I am?” Nash said as he grinned smugly.
“Why does it feel like you’re praising me?”
Hera smiled shyly before she whined, “Honey…”
“Ahem… What’s wrong?” Nash asked, feeling his heart skip a beat.
“I miss you!”
“Me too…”
He stopped before he managed to finish his sentence.
Hera’s sleeveless top had slipped downward.
Nash’s eyes immediately widened, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down furiously.
“I’m hanging up now… You should head to bed!”
Hera’s voice trembled, and she blushed furiously as she hung up the phone.
That was humiliating.
She should stop talking to other pregnant women so much.
Nash’s fingers flew across the screen as he texted: [Is that all?]
Hera: [Why? Wasn’t that enough?]
Nash: [I want to see more!]
Hera: [No. It’s too humiliating!]
Nash: [Please, baby.]
Several seconds later, Hera sent two photos over.
Nash gulped. [Angle the camera slightly lower.]
