Page 46 of Billionaire's Accidental Marriage
Margo opened the door and peeked her head in. “I was waiting for a moment when you weren’t talking on your phone.”
I motioned for her to come in. “Everything all right out there?”
She slipped in and closed the door. “It’s about as good as you can expect. Guadalupe still isn’t happy that you haven’t put in your two-week notice yet, but—”
“Wait, wait, wait, wait,” I said as I held up my hand, “she’s mad that I haven’t what now?”
She groaned. “Oh, come on, Maggie. We’ve all been waiting for you to do it. You’re on the up and up now. You have your father’s boutiques, and you’ve gotten married. You need to move on with the future that life is trying so hard to stuff down your stubborn little throat.”
I furrowed my brow tightly. “You guys are expecting me to leave?”
She scoffed. “If you know what’s good for you, yeah. It’s not every day you accidentally get married to Florida’s most eligible bachelor who also just happens to be head over heels for you.”
I blinked. “You really think he’s head over heels for me?”
She barked with laughter. “A man doesn’t defend you on international television the way he did last month if he isn’t head over heels for you. He practically set himself on fire to pull those cameras off you! Are you really that blind? Because I know you’re not that stupid.”
I rolled my eyes. “Thanks.”
“Well, I’m just saying! Hey, by the way, do you have a tampon? I’m kind of backed into a corner here, and Guadalupe only has pads.”
I giggled as I reached for my purse. “Yep. I always keep some on hand in case mine creeps up… on me.”
“What?”
When was my last period?“Nothing, sorry. Just remembered something I have to get done before I get back to work. Here you go. It’s only a regular, though. Will that help?”
She plucked the tampon from my hand. “That’ll work just fine. Thank you so much. Oh, and Maggie?”
“Hmmm?”
“Stop being stupid. It’s not a good look on you.”
As quickly as she had slipped through my door, she was gone, and I scrambled to dig my phone out of my purse. There was no way in hell I had gone this long without getting a period, right? I mean, time sort of blurred together over these past couple of months, but there was no way.
“Come on,” I murmured to myself.
I pulled up my period tracker on my phone and noticed that I wasn’t due for another period until next month. Which didn’t sound right at all. I scrolled back in my schedule to figure out when my last inputted period had been, and when I finally found the date, I almost dropped my phone on the floor at my feet.
I’m an entire month late.
How in the world was that even possible? Four weeks late for my period? I might as well have skipped one altogether! Panic rushed through my veins as I stood up from my chair. I scrambled to get out of my office, and I burst through the door, startling a couple of customers who were checking in. Guadalupe shot me a look that could have killed if she had that kind of power, and I apologized softly before I rushed quickly for a door that had “Employees Only” plastered in red across the front.
And when I found myself in the back room that we all had outfitted as a kind of lounge area for our breaks, I saw Margo coming out of the restroom.
“Hey! Margo!” I hissed as I rushed toward her.
She threw away the paper towels she used to wipe off her hands. “Don’t tell me you need that tampon back because you’re a couple of minutes late on that venture.”
I gripped her upper arms and scooted her into a corner. “No, I need you to keep your voice down because I have to ask you for a massive behemoth of a favor.”
Her eyebrows slowly rose. “What is it?”
I lowered my voice to a whisper. “I need you to go get me a pregnancy test.”
“What?” she exclaimed.
I clapped my hand over her mouth. “Will you keep it down, for God’s sake?”
