"Oh no," Sarah gasped.
"What? Did something happen?" I asked.
"Oh, uh…no, it's nothing," she hurried and put her phone into her purse.
"You sure? You’re sweating buckets," I remarked.
"No, it's just uh…Catherine is getting me a new toy, but it's very huge, that's all," she chuckled nervously.
"You're acting strange," I frowned, "Is it something that has to do with me?"
She averted her eyes, "No."
"Let me see your phone," I demanded.
"No can do," she said as she hid the purse behind her.
"Tch," I gave up and focused on my own phone. "The group chat is awfully active today. I’ve got over a dozen notifications."
"No!" She yelled and snatched the phone from me.
"Sarah, what's the matter with you?" I was pissed now.
"Who needs phones? This is the work period," she said nervously as she opened my phone. I could tell she was attempting to delete something.
I took the phone from her and held her at an arm’s distance, before I opened the group chat and scrolled through.
"No, Crystal, don't!" She warned.
I saw a number I didn't recognize, and it had sent a lot of images and videos to the group chat.
I opened the first video and saw it was a sex tape…Adam's and that girl I saw him with before.
The video showed him going at it and clearly enjoying himself.
My heart was trampled. I didn't want to believe it, but the proof was just there, staring at me in the face.
My office door opened.
"Crystal, don't open the…" Catherine warned as she entered the office.
"Too late," Sarah said.
"Were these two dating?" I asked as I continued viewing the other pictures and videos from different times and places.
"No," Catherine replied. "Crystal, this…"
"It's okay, Catherine," I said as I clicked on the group chat link then exited the group chat. "You don’t have to explain. I think…I think I want to go home for a while."
"Crystal, just…" Sarah tried to convince me, but Catherine held her hand and shook her head negatively.
"We understand. But please be very careful, okay?" Catherine advised.
"I'll do my best," I said as I got to my feet.
As I was about to leave, I stopped and turned to them.
"I'm actually pregnant, you know?" I confessed nervously.
