I heard him sigh and walk away.
Climbing back into bed, I’d finally drifted off to sleep when I heard talking in the hallway.
“Oh, my God!” I heard a voice shout.
I quickly sat up and stared at the older woman with blonde hair pulled back into a bun.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“Who are you?” she asked back.
“I’m Marley.”
“I’m Greta, Mr. Stone’s housekeeper.”
“Ah, I didn’t know he had a housekeeper.” I brought my knees up to my chest.
“He has two. Sylvia and I come in once a week and clean.”
“Oh. Well, then, I guess we’ll get to know each other. As I said, I’m Marley, and I’m pregnant with twins. Charlie is the baby daddy.”
“Excuse me?” Her brow arched.
“I know.” I sighed, climbing out of bed. “I’m just as shocked as you are. I’ll get out of your way so you can make the bed.”
“Take your time. I can start somewhere else,” she said.
I dressed quickly, grabbed my purse, and headed toward the elevator.
“It was nice to meet both of you.” I smiled. “I’ll see you next week.”

“I think the meeting went great.” Chase smiled.
“Yeah. I’m confident Danbury will do business with us,” I said, climbing into the back of the sedan.
“We haven’t had a chance to talk yet because of the meeting, but you seem off today—more off than usual since you found out Marley is pregnant.”
“She showed up at my penthouse last night with her suitcase in tow.”
“What?” Chase laughed.
“She said she’s moving in. She found out she’s pregnant with twins.”
“What?” He laughed harder. “You’re not serious?”
“Do I look like I’m kidding?”
“Where is she sleeping? You don’t have any other beds in that place.”
I sat there and arched my brow at him.
“Stop it!” He laughed. “You’re letting her sleep in your bed?”
“Like I have a choice.”
“Are you sleeping in it too?”
