Chapter 211 - She's Falling Hard
Johanna understood how tired Connor was. So, she didn't wake him up and only watched him sleep. She doesn't care if they are late. She wanted to give him a break from her whims. She smiled and realized that he's too handsome. She kissed his nose and snuggled with him. He somehow became a heavy sleeper but when he squeezed his arms to her, she knew that he's awake.
"What time is it?" he asked.
"It's seven."
He moaned and rubbed her back.
"I don't want to work."
"We can be a little late."
"We can't be late." He kissed her forehead. "Good morning. I love you."
"I love you." She whispered.
"I'm fully awake." He sat up. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"We can pick up our breakfast on the way. So we won't get late."
He pushed himself a little and kissed her lips. She started kissing back. After he proposed, she became open toward him. They have lovey-dovey most of the time when they are alone. Maybe she could grow old with him. She also started taking care of him although there were times that she was thoughtful.
The couple came to the office ten minutes late. But Keira didn't scold them. Her assistant was twenty minutes late and looked sick. So, Keira dismissed her and had someone escort her. Today, there's not much to do for them but for Keira, she had a lot of things to do.
Johanna went to the President's office and found her father and Harvey as they discussed the upcoming possible attack of the Charles Empire. Recently, they are trying to pay one of their greatest artists to sign up to another agency which is under the Charles Empire. They were also trying to pursue Arianna Rosales since she became one of the top singers that had a chance to sing out of the country.
"I had thought about these," Keira said. "That's why I gathered the artists who were out of the dim light and put them in the workshop. I also hired the new manager that Travis recommended."
"Now, I understand. I didn't think that you were a visionary." Johanna commented.
"I had it settled." She smirked. "I already told them that if they break the rules and go after another agency, they will pay big. The materials that I gave and invested into them had a big advantage toward them. You can visit my artist, Jo. They are handsome men."
"Hmm, no interest." She grumbled. "By the way, your best friend Holly was feeding information to the Charles Empire," Johanna said and gave her the main evidence. But they have to gather more of it and she will meet up with Oliver and her. She wanted to make sure that she slapped their face.
"Help me gather more of it and I'm going to confront her."

"Holly?" Harvey raised his brows.
"By the way, why are you back early?" Johanna creased her brows. "Are you still supposed to be on your honeymoon?"
"About that, we will have an emergency dinner meeting," Harvey said seriously. "This is serious."
"I already have a guess," Keira said but she didn't spoil anything. "So, what should we order today?" She asked. "I'm starving and we take time in the office. I still have a lot of things to sign."
Henry put the folders in front of Keira.
"I already reviewed this. You can sign it all."
"Thanks, dad." Keira smiled widely as Harvey glared at her.
"Dad, stop spoiling her."
"She already knows about this. I just reviewed it for her. This is a basic one." Henry told Harvey. He then looked at Johanna. "Let Connor have the investigation regarding that."
"Okay." Johanna nodded and sent a message to Connor. Soon, Conner knocked on the door and entered.
"I'm going to leave for a while," Connor said to do his undercover investigation.
After he left Keira took out her phone and smiled at her mother's message.
"We don't need to order this day," Keira said excitedly.
"Why?" Henry asked as he checked the latest document.
"Because it's a surprise." Keira stood and reached the remote control from her desk. She then turned on the television in the business network.
The first one that was shipped out from Golden Age Entertainment was the rising star, Sarah Gomez. It was because of Holly's help. They might have done something to threaten her and break the contract after the efforts that they did. They haven't signed yet but if only she asked for her help, she could help her.
"Call Albert, he needs to handle this," Keira told Johanna who quickly called Albert.
She crossed her arms as they watched the television. Then, her telephone is ringing. She answered it.
"Del Carlo," She grumbled. Keira uses her family surname at work but she was still called Mrs. De Alegre. "Who is this?" She asked and frowned when it's from the media. "I won't answer any questions regarding that. Please wait for our announcement."
Johanna noticed that Keira was extra-energetic. Is it because the Charles Empire is currently making a move? She seemed ecstatic about it. What does she have in mind? She never would have thought that her sister would make a harsh move.
In their lunch, they were surprised by Karmina and Alex with lots of homemade food. She prepared five dishes and lots of rice. Henry was surprised by it so they ate inside Keira's office while their security was eating in the lobby.
"You surprised me," Henry said and hugged his wife and they started kissing. Alex and Keira cringed and shook their heads. Conner entered after knocking while wearing casual clothes.
"Babe, I got the dessert." Connor lifted the cake.
"Thank you," Johanna smiled as the two kissed in front of them.
"Oh, geez! What's with today?" Keira asked.
"It's a good thing that Sandro isn't here," Harvey said as he sat down. "I'm starving."
They ate happily for their lunch and Karmina left early with Alex and Henry also took his leave.
When the time came, they left the office and went directly to the mansion. They were surprised that there seemed to be a big celebration and MJ was wearing a pretty dress.
"What's the occasion?" Johanna asked and Harvey hugged his wife and gave her lots of kisses on the face.
"We will talk about it over dinner," Karmina said and she hugged Johanna. "How do you feel, dear?"
"I'm fine, mama." She said and held Karmina's hand along their way to the dining room.
They all settled down and there's also a cake. Alessandro was a little confused.
"Who's birthday is today?" Alessandro asked and Karmina sat down.
"We only have good news," MJ said as she held Harvey's hand.
"Good news?" Keira grinned.
"Yes, MJ is finally pregnant," Harvey said that made everyone gasp and started saying happy congratulations. "I should have married her a long time ago," Harvey said. "I mean, it's the only way to make her pregnant."
MJ nudged him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Weddings make her pregnant!" Harvey laughed out loud as everyone laughed along. "I'm so excited, baby." He kissed MJ's cheeks.
"I'm glad that I'm going to be an Aunt of two babies," Keira said happily.
"So, when are the two of you going to plan for it?" Henry asked.
"We are still enjoying each other and I haven't had the luxury wedding that he promised," Keira said. Although, she said that she wanted simple but she also wanted a very good wedding dress.
"Five months to go," Johanna mumbled. "You will have the wedding you want."
Alessandro started putting food on his wife's plate as Keira was busy chatting.
"How about the baby's room? I want to see it." Keira said excitedly. "I can help with other decorations."
"Su-Sure." MJ looked at Harvey. Keira still doesn't have an idea of where they live. She might be shocked if she sees the house.
"I will still clean up and decorate a few things in the house," MJ told her.
"Babe don't mind about it. I will take care of it. Just lay down, sleep and make sure that you won't pick heavy things."
"That's sweet," Keira said with awed eyes. "Speaking of. I never heard my brother speaking with romantic words. Is it you, my brother? Or maybe there's another element inside his body."
"It could be a demon. If there's a male demon for Succubus, I think it's that demon inside his body." Johanna added.
"See, that's what I'm talking about. Should we get worried?" Keira asked her mother who was only giggling.
"Hey, little brats! You have no idea how romantic I am." Harvey snorted at them. "Right, babe?"
MJ giggled and nodded her head.
"I think he made MJ drink some potion." Keira continued.
"Dark magic. Love potion is dark magic." Johanna agreed.
"Where did you read such things?" Alessandro asked. "Did the two of you get carried by the script that you are reading?"
"What script?" Harvey asked, puzzled. He felt left out.
"They are scanning through scripts for the first production," Alessandro said. "I'm one of the investors."
"It includes explicit scenes." Keira winked at Harvey.
"Oh, please!" Harvey snorted.
