Now that Deborah was feeling more comfortable with the staff around her, Jayden felt more at ease because they were in the final stretch of the pregnancy, and James could arrive at any moment. It was a relief to know that if it happened at home, she wouldn't be alone. For that reason, Deborah now had two bodyguard-assistant-nurse-caregivers: they were basically everything she might need as an expectant mother, accompanying her when she went out or when she went to the office. But to Deborah, they felt more like new friends. Her bodyguards' names were Danielle and Max, assigned to assist her in case James decided to make his grand entrance while she was at the office, as they sometimes joked.

"Ma'am, I brought the tray of strawberries you asked for," Danielle announced excitedly as she entered the office. She was a young woman with blue hair.

"And don't forget to take your vitamins," Max, a young man with long black hair tied in a braid, reminded

her.

"Thank you both," Deborah said, accepting what they handed her.

"No, thank you, because this is our dream job. You're the first boss who treats us like human beings," Danielle said dramatically as she made herself comfortable on the office sofa, picking up a book to read.

"Treat you like human beings?" Deborah asked, confused.

"Yeah, because some of our previous employers had power trips just because they were politicians, actors, or influencers. They treated all their workers horribly, even publicly humiliating them to show off how successful they were," Max explained as he handed her a bottle of water.

"Wow... you've really had it rough," Deborah said, taking the bottle to swallow her pill.

"A bit. The pay was good, but sometimes you reach your limit, so we quit. That's why I say a change of

I scenery is amazing, and that's why we love you," Danielle declared.

"I see," Deborah said, noting that her new friends were a lively pair of siblings..

"So, what's the plan for today?" Max asked as he sat down next to his sister.

"Well, there's no plan for today-just from the office to home."

"In that case, ma'am, can we make a personal stop on the way home?" Max asked.

"Sure, where are you taking us?" she asked, caressing her belly as James was moving at that moment.

"To a pawn shop. Since today is payday, I'm going to get back the ring I pawned," the black-haired man replied.

"That's fine, and well, since we're there, we can check out the place."

"Aww... that's why we love you, ma'am," Danielle said playfully, giving her a hug.

"Lots of love being spread in here," Nicholas said as he entered the office with some folders.

"Just a bit," the siblings joked. Danielle approached Nicholas to help him with the folders.

"Thanks, Danielle, Nicholas said. "Come on, Debbie, the architect Eric sent is here to discuss the redesign of the facade."

"Let's go." Deborah said as she stood up. Max quickly stood beside her, offering his arm for support as she walked. "Thank you."

Nicholas smiled, pleased to see how much help those siblings provided his daughter. The four of them then headed to the meeting room.

The meeting was quick since Deborah planned to use the original building blueprints for the facade. She didn't want to change anything because she wanted to restore the building to its former glory.

The architect worked swiftly, needing only to request a copy of the old blueprints. After showing her the plan to restore the facade and suggesting a few minor changes, everything was approved, and they agreed to start work immediately.

"In that case, ma'am, I'll bring in the materials tomorrow. As you requested, I'll also bring several engineers to inspect the internal structure and provide full maintenance to the building."

"Thank you, Sid. Here," she said, handing him a check. This is the advance payment."

"It isn't necessary, ma'am. Mr. Eric said..." Sid started to say, trying to decline the payment.

"No, I may be the partner of the owner," she said, taking the architect's hand to make him accept the check, "but this is a job for my company, and I need to pay you for your services just like any other client."

The architect chuckled as he had been advised to avold charging her if possible, but he knew better than to argue "Alright, ma'am. I'll take my leave now," Sid said before leaving the office to return to Cooper Construction.

"The building is going to look spectacular," Danielle said, admiring the printed image of the project.

"The Coopers' technology is amazing. Those 3D renderings give you a true picture of what the design will look like," Max said as he analyzed the image as well.

"It's a new feature Jayden implemented to help convince clients of the projects," Deborah said as she organized the folders with the signed contract. "And the good thing is they'll work fast so everything will be ready in three months." "When it's finished, we should throw a big reopening party," Nicholas said excitedly.

"And if everything goes according to plan, it'll be James's first party," Deborah added, caressing her belly and smiling with love.

"And how much longer, according to the doctor? Nicholas asked.

"He said two weeks, but we're ready just in case he decides to come early."

"My grandson will be born at the right moment."

"I wouldn't mind if it were today because he's getting heavy, and going to the bathroom minutes is no longer fun," Deborah said, pouting.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. Once you hold him in your arms, you'll see that all of this was worth it," Nicholas said, taking her hand. "I may not have been there when you were born, but I'll be by your side this time to +25 BONUS

support you."

"Thank you, Dad," she said, hugging him.

After that, Deborah finished handling some pending tasks and then left, leaving her father in charge since she was only spending a few hours at the office.

As she promised the siblings, they made a quick stop at a pawn shop on the way to the mansion. The

three of them got out so Max could pay off his debt while the women browsed the store and admired the jewelry on display.
