Chapter 81 - I ? U I Do 14: The Man She Loved & Her Bestie (1/2)

”Excuse me?”

For a moment Ken Park thought he misheard what he had just been told.

”Did you just say immaculate conception?” he asked again as he stared at his best friend's secretary.

Jay Co gave out a heavy sigh as he stared at the vice president with a 'what-the-fuck-right?' kind of expression on his face.

The vice president whistled. ”Who does she think she is? The vɨrġɨn fuċkɨnġ Mary?” he asked with a mixture of amusement and perplexity.

”I thought she's one very smart cookie? How come she's being like that?” Susie who had been sitting next to Ken all the time asked with a voice laced with frustration. ”Oh my gosh! I feel so frustrated my balls are going to explode.”

”You don't have balls,” the secretary pointed out, earning him a glare from Susie.

”I'm speaking in metaphor,” she retorted making the vice president sigh and decide to intervene before the two started a never-ending argument.

”Seriously though, how is Marian now?” He had heard from Jay that the PA had been sickly since last week.

”Well, I think her sickness is actually due to her pregnancy. She's still stealing my food,” Jay added the latter blandly before he continued. ”I don't think big sis is getting crazy though. I think she's just shocked since well…since she really couldn't remember what happened the night she got drunk and had aphrodisiacs. Definitely, she's at a loss as to who is the father of her child ergo the immaculate conception theory,” he said and all three of them sighed audibly.

”Ken, just what the heck is Big Brother Liam doing? The way he is acting like a dɨċkless bastard it's a wonder he actually ɨmprėġnȧtėd someone. I thought by now he'd have confessed to Marian,” Susie stated irritably making Ken inch closer to her. Ken hated it when his girl was agitated.

”Calm down Su,” the vice president cajoled making her a little less ruffled before she spoke once more.

”But it's frustrating Ken. I feel guilty because I feel I might be one of the reasons why they're still not together,” she said looking totally depressed, making the others wonder what's going on.

”What do you mean?”

”Well,” her voice trailed off as she tried her best to recall something. ”At the gala, I kind of sulked because Big Brother Liam didn't tell me he already confessed to his love. It's that time you told me he confessed, right? But I realized after that he still hadn't. But Marian was there and the two of them looked like besotted idiots I thought they're already a couple!”

”Aha!” Jay snapped his fingers and Ken sighed, readying himself to more frustration as this tidbit was revealed. ”Maybe that's why Big Sis avoiding our boss like the plague these days,” the secretary said and the vice president agreed.

”There's no 'maybe' about it. That's exactly what happened. Liam couldn't confess because Marian always manages to run away from him,” Ken stated tiredly and the three of them sighed audibly again.

”So, what are we going to do now?” Jay asked after a while and Ken raised a brow.

”What do you mean 'what are we going to do?' Those two hurt my head so bad I don't want to meddle in their business anymore,” the vice president stated which made the secretary panic.

”Ken, Big Bro, you can't do that!” Jay exclaimed making the couple raise their brow once more.

”Who the heck is your Big Bro?” Ken retorted but Jay ignored his comment.

”We are their friends and we couldn't let them stay like that! And it's not like we can avoid them anyway. We work in the same office. I think we should come up with a plan that would bring those two together so everyone would be happy,” the secretary practically begged and the vice president grudgingly agreed.

Jay was right, Ken thought. Their involvement in this issue was inevitable anyway so they might as well help them. Then again…

Ken threw Jay a suspicious glance. Friend or not, he knew the secretary wasn't this helpful— well not unless he wasn't given a choice but to help. He wasn't one to volunteer himself so why now?

”Why do you seem too eager to bring those two together?” the vice president asked and the secretary smirked before he answered.

”I want the boss to sweep Big Sis off her feet and lock her up somewhere. I already had enough of pregnant people stealing my beloved food!”

And so the three people closest to the idiotic couple formally devised a plan.
