Not your typical baby mama



At Frost Corporation

Zach was seated in a meeting with an open file resting on the table in front of him. A bunch of executives sat with him following along as a presentation was made to the chairman himself.

Even with the A.C turned down, the presentor could not help bust swrat buckets in the intimidating presence of the big man himself. The latter had on a stoic expression, not bothering to look at the material but stared down at the presentor.

"After calculating everything as well as a contingency fee, the budget for this project came down to two thousand, three million- No. Three hundred million- No." Sweat trickled down the sides of his face, nervous from how he stumbled upon the numbers.

He was even more nervous when Zach gave him a sharp gaze. His colleagues gave him pitiful looks. How could he mess up such an important presentation? He glanced at the screen and back at Zach, stuttering from nervousness. "I-I-I mean, three million, two thou- two hundred- Three million-"

A knock was heard and Zach permitted the person to enter. One of his bodyguards came in to whisper something in his ear. Zach looked at the presentor. "That's enough. We'll stop here."

"Thank you, sir", he practically bowed, relief washing over him.

"I need the file on my desk in five minutes and a full presentation in my office in two hours. Dismissed."

He left as soon as he said those words leaving the rest with their jaws dropped. He thanked him too soon. He coukd barely stand with everyone around, how coukd he handle a one-on-one?

Zach found Gomez standing by his door carrying a three tier lunch box. One of his men got the door for him and in went Gomez after Zach to set up the meal on the coffee table. He set it down before excusing himself. Zach sat down as he fished out his phone and dialed for Amy.

"Darling", he greeted with a smile.

"I guess you got your lunch?" She replied

"Yes, thank you." He relaxed in his seat and undid his tie with one hand. "Are you done pretending to be mad at me?"

"Pretending? After what you did last night?" She scoffed.

"Baby, I only tied you up and gagged you because you couldn't keep quiet", he said with an easy smile. "You said it yourself."

"Only? Only? Zachery!" She wanted to raise her voice at him, but she whisper shouted instead. He thought she was embarrassed.

He chuckled and whispered huskily into the phone, "Come on baby, you liked it. You were sooo wet. Don't you remember the sound we made everytime I-"

Amy interrupted him with all too loud awkward clearing of her throat which made him chuckle. "And my back paid for it when I untied you during-"

"You're welcome babe", she replied lovingly, deliberately cutting in. He could picture how red her face was at the moment. "Make sure you eat everything."

"Yes ma'am", he answered. He was not going to further embarrass her. However, he picked up on the noise in her background. "Where are you?"

"Uhh....."

"Dear, hurry with the call. She looks like she's about to cry", Victoria's voice echoed over the phone.

"Is that mom? Where are you?" The smile on his face had long been gone.

"Uh..... babe", She cleared her throat to suppress the panic in her voice. "We met up, we were both lonely-"

"You were lonely? Even after last night?" He narrowed his eyes, not bothering to hide the danger in his tone. "And I'm so sure you weren't able to walk this morning or were you pretending? My performance must have been very poor."

"No. No. No", she whisper shouted, quickly trying to placate him. "You were amazing last night, a beast in fact, you practically destroyed my....", she cleared her throat awkwardly. "I'm so glad we don't have to do a lot of walking otherwise it's so hard to pretend to walk properly."

"Why are you out? You should've stayed home", he deadpanned.

"Because I had nothing else to do during the day, mom invited me out to the golf club to hang out with her friends. I promise you have nothing to worry about."

"Amy dear", Victoria called out while shushing a now crying Roserie.

"Babe, I gotta go. I'll see you soon. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye", she heard him say before she hang up. She rushed back to the round table of ladies having coffee with pastries. She had to ignore the obvious ache between her legs, oh! She could win an oscar for the performance she was giving.

"So, is it true?" Kris looked at Amy who was sitting down and trying her hardest not to groan in pain. She took her daughter in her arms before turning her attention on Kris who had an obnoxious expression and giving a side eye at Victoria. "I can't trust anything your mother-in-law says."

"What is?" Amy asked while patting Roserie's back in comfort.

"Is it true that J's is designing your dress and Zach's tux?" Adelaide asked.

"I'm not surprised. They must have some sort of connection through Zach. Remember he wore their suit at the Corporate gala", Stephanie said.

"That was the corporate gala. This is a whole wedding. Even my son could not afford to have them do it for him and his fiancé. Amy, you can be honest. Say the truth and shame the devil", Kris nodded at Victoria when she said devil.

Amy exchanged looks with Victoria who was trying to suppress the guilt on her face. Victoria and Kris will never stop competing. Although the older woman lied, Amy still wanted to save face.

Besides, getting J's to design and make their clothes would be a piece of cake, she was after all, the owner. Although it was something J's never did, there was a first time for everything. So she put on a beautiful smile and nodded.

"Yes, J's will be making our clothes."

The ladies gasped and Kris' expression turned sour. Victoria's expression turned smug as she nodded along, "That's right, she just shamed the devil."

"Are you calling me a devil?" Kris snarled.

"Oh my god, you? The devil? More like his sister!" Victoria bit back.

"Victoria!" Kris stood to launch at the woman but was held back by the other ladies.

"Stop it you two!" Stephanie glared at between them.

"She's the one who insulted me first in front of my daughter-in-law and granddaughter", Victoria complained.

"Should I do it behind your back then?" Kris shouted back.

"Steph, let them fight it out. Its about time. Maybe it will put an end to the ridiculous arguments", Adelaide said leisurely.

Kris was let alone but she did not make any move towards the other woman. She sat down and continued to sip on her coffee while Victoria forked a snack. Amy shook her head along with the other women as they watched the two.

The other ladies started a new topic of discussion and the two soon commented on, forgetting their earlier fight. The atmosphere had become peaceful once more until it was time to go home. As Amy and Victoria came in the same car, they left together.

"Can you drop me off at Zach's?" Amy said to Victoria who was playing with Roserie.

"You heard her", she shouted to the driver before turning to her with an uneasy expression. "Amy, about J's..."
