Chapter seven

Scarlet POV

I internally groan turning to the podium where he's standing today in a dark suit with lines running across it, his eyes are dim and two guards by his side and two by the door

He starts his speech, how he grew to become this although he did not build everything on his own since he grew up from old money when the Kingston empire was about to fall after his father fell sick and his mother died at the age of 18 he took over and made the Kingston empire ten times better than what it was six years ago, he had to take college classes and run a multibillion company at the same, time, it's impressive only he's saying everything with no emotion, like a robot

I see more than 10 girls straighten their hands asking questions, and pulling their shirts down to expose their cleavage, I try to hide but the professor sends me a look

I groan, asking a single question about his tech company, I know he knew I was here, but I saw the look of surprise cross his face as he stared at me.

The class ends and three other students are left with me since we were picked for the internship, two other girls and a guy, the guy immediately heads for him shaking his hand and bouncing into a topic of business in the technology world, the girls bat their lashes and stare at him with hooded eyes, I stand by the side till the professor introduce us

Mr Kingston, “This is Scarlet Archway she's our best student, at the age of 16 she helped her town police catch a criminal that has been wanted for twenty years” he smiles proudly pushing me forward.

I grip his hand in a handshake, “that's impressive scarlet” he says the words drawing out of his mouth

I say nothing, he knows that's not my best work yet, hacking into the federal site to find him that was one of my best work and now only three people know about it.

This is Ryan Thame, the professor who introduced the boy who has been kissing his ass since we grouped to meet him

I look down at my watch 3:30 pm I frown my appointment is at four

The professor points to the blonde girl with blue eyes she's Sapphire Lawrence and finally, he points to the brunette girl with green eyes, she's Cherry Black

Quinn nods turning back to the group, “This will be a paid internship but it will depend on what you can do for me,” he gives us more details on how the internship covers most of our grades and I can't say I'm not happy

My classes will be reduced and I even get to earn money for going to work, what's better than that?

Finally, the professor lets us leave and I immediately rush to grab a cab, heading to the hospital, I make it just in time as a nurse calls my name

She raises a brow at me as I bend breathing hard, “I’m here”

She nods leading me to a room handing me a paper dress, “change into this, the doctor will be with you in a moment,” she says after asking me multiple questions I change into the paper dress, turning around my eyes meet with sapphire blue ones

“You came?” I raise a brow at him still in his suit I lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling

“I had to” he stares down at me, and I can see he's as nervous as me

“I'm getting rid of it,” I say into the tense silence trying to convince myself this is the best decision

He says nothing taking the seat by the bed, the doctor comes in soon, asking me almost the same questions as the nurse, and I answer truthfully

“We have to do a scan to make sure the baby is okay, you're the father?” She asks turning to Quinn, wearing her gloves and setting up the ultrasound machine

He nods quickly

She nods pulling on the gown and exposing my stomach, this is going to be a bit cold she warns squeezing a decent amount of cold blue gel on my stomach, she places the probe over my stomach and that’s even a greater shock, she moves it around and I pay attention to the screen beside me

“That right there is baby” she points out a black and white picture of a tiny round thing, “you're about a month gone, the baby is healthy” she explains going back to the machine, and right here is the heartbeat

A few seconds later the sound of a strong and fast heartbeat fills the room and my eyes water

“It's okay to feel super emotional sometimes it's the pregnancy hormones, everything is safe and yes you too can still have sex” She shakes her head like she has heard that question a billion times

“You should get some bed rest, you shouldn't move around or do hefty work so much since you're still in your first trimester,” she grabs her book staring at it for a long time, gulping before turning to me

And I remember what I told the nurse a few minutes ago

She frowns, staring at us, “Are you keeping the child?”
