Chapter 683
"Are you telling me how to do my work?"
Carlisle shot Sarah a cold look.
"I know you, Sarah. I believe you're the one who started this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have talked back."
Carlisle was well-acquainted with Kurt. He knew the latter was a headstrong and honest man who wouldn't disrespect a superior without cause.
Sarah sneered.
"Why don't you ask him what he's done?"
Irritated, Carlisle frowned and said, "Don't you have anything better to do? You've already
fired him, and he's now my personal bodyguard. If you keep badmouthing him, I might consider suing you for personal attacks."
Carlisle's defense touched Kurt. He wondered why Carlisle was so different from Sarah despite being a businessman like her.
"Sarah, let's just go. He's no longer the Carlisle we knew!" Sienna urged, tugging at Sarah's sleeve.
"So much for my kindness!" Sarah scoffed, dragging Sienna toward the parking lot.
Vincent had been waiting in the car. As soon as he saw Sarah approaching, he quickly got out to open the door for her.
"Welcome, Ms. Gates!"
The moment Sarah got into the car, she felt nauseous. Clutching her chest, she dry-heaved a few times.
"What's wrong, Sarah?" Sienna asked with concern, gently patting Sarah's back.
"I feel like I'm going to throw up," Sarah said while patting her chest.
"Is it because of the car's smell?" Sienna asked, noting the pungent odor of a mix of plastic, leather, and chemicals as soon as she entered.
"Oh, please! Why does this luxury car smell so awful?" Sarah complained, wrinkling her
nose.
"I don't think it's the car. Even when I'm not in a car, I feel nauseated these days!"
Sarah leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.
Vincent suddenly realized something.
"Ms. Gates, could it be that you're pregnant?"
Sarah's eyes flew open in panic.
"Impossible! I've only slept with Austin twice, and he told me I wouldn't get pregnant since he didn't finish inside!"
As he reversed the car, Vincent said, "As long as you didn't use protection, there's always a chance. Trust me. I've been there, so I know."
Sarah snapped, "Nonsense! I know my body! It's probably just a cold from this sudden temperature drop. Go get me some cold medicine later."
Sarah trusted Austin's words. If he said she wouldn't get pregnant because he ejaculated outside, she believed it must be true.
Vincent chuckled.
"Did your period come last month?"
Sarah was stunned into silence. She hadn't had her period the previous month. However, she had learned from older women at her office that periods can be delayed for various reasons, such as hormonal imbalances, excessive exercise, irregular eating habits, or stress. Given how busy she'd been with work and skipping breakfast to stay in shape, she believed these were likely the reasons for her delayed period.
Glancing at Sarah in the rearview mirror, Vincent said, "You should probably go to the hospital for a check-up. Something tells me you might be pregnant."
"Shut up!"
Sarah shot Vincent an angry look. If her family and friends found out she was pregnant right after starting university, she'd be buried under their judgment.
Vincent stopped talking as instructed.
Sienna, understanding Sarah's concern, cautiously tried to comfort her.
"Sarah, I honestly don't think it's such a bad thing if you're pregnant with Mr. Gust's baby. This child could be your ticket into the Gust family. Remember how royal consorts in history were always desperate to bear the king's child?"
"Just shut up!" Sarah snapped, clearly frustrated.
Sienna stuck her tongue out and fell silent.
The parking lot at Imperial Hotel was packed with luxury cars. The venue was surrounded by uniformed security personnel, highlighting the event's significance. Even Gabriel was
present to oversee things personally.
Austin stood outside with the hotel staff, greeting the invited entrepreneurs.
