“I never slept with Jansen again,” I reiterate. “That’s not possible.”
“I wasn’t talking about Jansen,” she says. “I thought that was obvious.”
I roll my eyes and keep cleaning. I’ve been so busy since I got back—and stressed, since I’ve been jobless and applying to jobs—that I haven’t exactly been thinking about that possibility.
But as I think about it, it’s been since before my Costa Rica trip that I had my period. I put down my glass of wine. “Shoot. Maybe I should at least get a pregnancy test.”
“Do you have any of the other symptoms? Are your boobs swollen? They actually do look a tad bigger…”
“Uggh. I’ll get a test tonight. I’m not taking it until tomorrow though.”
Speaking of Jack, Nora asks if I've spoken to him since everything went down. I tell her no, and she looks at me skeptically.
"I mean it, Nora," I say. "I don't want to have anything to do with him. Jack lied to me. He liedto my face. I can't forgive that."
“I told you he was bad news.”
Nora nods sympathetically, but I can tell she's still curious about what happened between us. I don't blame her - it's not every day that your sister dates a billionaire CEO.
Nora helps me pack up the last of my things. Tomorrow, the movers are going to come to help me move in my new place.
“So what’s the name of your new company again?” Nora asks.
“Franzen & Frida Media.”
“Who’s the CEO?’
“I have no idea, actually.”
“Maybe you should keep an eye on that this time, you know?”

The next day,I grab a coffee before I head into work, but I also stop at a pharmacy and pick up a pregnancy test.
I was going to wait until after work to take it, but after some thought, there is a distinct possibility that Jack and I…
I mean, sweet lord, I’ve never had a man take me like he did.
Heowned me. And he definitely finished inside.
Since I’ve always been on the pill I didn’t think he’d be able to. But who knows?
As I walk in, I grin at a text from Nora.
Nora: You are going to crush it, Sis!
I get a little bit of deja vu from a message like that. The last time she sent one like that, I ended up getting fired…
I greet the secretary on the first floor. “Oh, you’re Amelia Hansen?”
“That’s me!”
“Your office is going to be on the second floor. But the CEO is doing a meet and greet with the new hires this morning. I’ll key in the code in the elevator so you have permission to go to the top floor.”
“So I’ll be seeing Mr. Franzen, then?” I ask as she opens the elevator door, and puts in the code so that I can go up to the top floor.
“I see you’ve done your research. But no--we were just bought out a couple of weeks ago.”
