162 Two Worlds Collide

Why didn’t I ask Justin about how to deal with this kind of situation?

It never occurred to me that two of my contract boyfriends would bump into each other like this or that they knew each other. I hated myself for overlooking that possibility. I should have known better that in the network of the rich and famous, everyone somehow knew each other. The high society wasn’t that large and it should have occurred to me that my boyfriends may know each other in some shape or form. Then again, being acquaintances didn’t necessarily mean that we had to run into each other like this and at my fertility check-up appointment at that.

What am I supposed to do?

If I treat this as a job, which it is, then right now I’m working for Brandon and not for Adrian. Under that logic, all I had to do was keep on acting as his fiancée as always. Even if Adrian was also my client, I am not working for him right now. With my mind made up, I decided to act as professionally about this as possible.

“Umm…the doctor is waiting so…” I said in a small voice.

The doctor was indeed patiently waiting on the side as our conversation unfolded. She probably had no idea what she had just witnessed. I glanced over at her while I wondered if she realizes that I’m also supposed to be Adrian’s fiancée. If she did notice anything amiss, she did not show it and she definitely did not voice it and I was so thankful to her for that.

“Oh, right. You should go ahead, Elena. I’ll wait out here for you,” Brandon said before smiling lovingly at me.

His smile made my heart skip a beat despite the fact that I knew that he was just putting on a good show in front of his friend. I found myself smiling back before I let the doctor escort me to the adjoining examination room.

“Since you’re wearing a dress, all you need to do is take off your panties. You can put on this long gown to cover up if you want. Please let me know when you are done and lie on the bed,” she instructed politely.

.....

My body moved on its own as if on autopilot to comply with the instructions of the doctor while my mind tried its best to recover from the shock of what had just happened. I removed my panties while wondering if those two men were still together right on the other side of this wall that separated the examination room from the doctor’s office. The thought made my body tremble and my hands started to feel colder than before.

“Why am I so unlucky?” I muttered to myself.

“Are you done?” the doctor asked politely.

“Yes, I am…” I called back.

I laid down on the examination bed and started to feel even more uncomfortable with the situation that I was in than before. The doctor came in and gave me some instructions on how to position my legs while describing what she was about to do to me so that I wouldn’t panic. I was thankful for her professionalism and how caring she was being with me but my mind just couldn’t focus on what she was saying or doing at all.

Great, now Adrian thinks that I’m trying to have a baby with Brandon. Am I supposed to explain to him that it’s all an act just to please Brandon’s parents? I mean, we’re not even really dating so why would I ever want to have Brandon’s child?

“Please relax…” she said reassuringly.

That was easy for her to say but it was hard for me to do. I hated these examinations so much. I took in a deep breath to calm myself and tried my best to relax my insides. The doctor must have sensed that I was tense because she continued making small talk with me to distract me from what she was doing. I admired her willingness to help me because I felt like it worked. Soon enough, I had relaxed somewhat, and the inspection progressed smoothly.

“All done,” she announced to my utter relief.

I felt a little funny inside. Having something foreign inserted into me when I wasn’t wet and ready never felt fun. The doctor smiled at me before turning away. I sat up and pulled down my dress to cover my legs.

“We’re done here for today. Next is the blood test, a nurse will be here to guide you…” the doctor informed me.

“I’ll take her there,”

My body froze at the sound of his voice. When I glanced up, I found Adrian standing there with a warm smile on his handsome face. The doctor seemed surprised at his sudden offer to help and I had to say that so was I. A knot formed in the pit of my stomach when I realized that Brandon was no longer with Adrian.

Where did he go off to now of all times?

“I see. Thank you so much for your help. I’ll take my leave then,” the doctor thanked Adrian with a smile.

The way he smiled seemed overly kind made me suddenly feel cold. I could be wrong but I felt like his smile was hiding away so much more.

“I’m sorry that you had to work beyond your hours. You should be on break now, right?” Adrian asked knowingly.

“It’s no problem at all,” she replied.

“I’ll take it from here so you can go off and enjoy your break,” Adrian said with a sweet smile.

“Oh, thank you so much,” she replied without concealing her happiness.

I watched with widened eyes as the doctor left the room completely. The sound of the door closing behind her told me that I was now left all alone with Adrian. I didn’t have to be a genius to know that he had just literally chased the doctor away so that we could be alone.

“Why are you here? Where is Brandon?” I asked the first two questions that came to mind.
