Be was so happy to reunite with all of her friends.

    As the night came, the reunion continued. Tristan prepared a small dinner party for all of them in another room so the babies and Dax could rest.

    And after dinner, Leo dropped a shocking piece of news when everyone gathered in the living room.

    "Guys, I just want to inform you that Dana and I are proudly expecting a child..." Leo said while holding Dana’s hand tightly.

    Instantly, the room became lively again, with everyone looking happy for Dana and Leo.

    Be quickly led Dana and Harper into a corner, leaving the men to chat about things they weren’t interested in. She sat between the two girls.

    Once they settled onto the three-seater sofa, she was eager to hear about Dana’s pregnancy and Harper’s marriage ns.

    She was thrilled to learn that Harper and Sean would be getting married in early fall this year. However, she was now curious about Dana’s pregnancy. She rarely spoke to Dana over the phone; they had only met at her wedding party a few months ago.

    "Dana, I’m so happy for you. Once again, congrattions…" Be gently grabbed Dana’s hand. "Do you know the gender yet?"

    "Not yet, Boss Be. We only found out about my pregnancyst week, and it was too early to know the gender..." Dana giggled happily as she shared the good news with them.

    "Congrattions, dear. But please, Dana, can you stop calling me that? I’m no longer your boss, alright." Be shook her head helplessly.

    Be didn’t understand what had happened to them; Sam, Dana, and everyone who knew her at Quantum Capital insisted on calling her Boss Be, even though she hadn’t worked for thepany since Decemberst year.

    Dana opened her mouth, ready to respond to Be, but she paused when Harper’s voice came out ahead of hers.

    "Oh, wow! Come on, girl, ept it!" Harper chuckled, ncing at Be’s annoyed expression.

    She continued, "You’ll always be their boss, Be. And how can you just leave thepany like that? You still have a responsibility at the head office as Jack’s advisor, right?"

    Be let out a deep sigh and shot a sharp look at Harper. "Geez! I’m not sure. Because you and Jack always give me a headache, Harper Reed. But you’re right. I won’tpletely abandon thepany we built together.

    That is so not me," she smiles.

    Harperughed upon hearing Be’s words.

    "Boss Be, what Boss Harper said is true," Danaughed.

    "OK, OK, enough about me," Be sighed deeply as she turned her attention back to Dana. "Tell us about your pregnancy, Dana. How’s Leo? Did he take good care of you?"

    Before Dana could reply, Harper, once more, interjected, causing Be and Dana to turn their gaze toward her.

    "Leo Smith ticked me off. I never knew he had a side like that. I’ve always known him as cold and mischievous all this time..."

    Dana’s face stiffened at that, but she remained silent. She knew her husband constantly interfered with her work as Harper’s secretary.

    Now, hearing Harper vent her frustration to her husband, Dana couldn’t help but feel amused, knowing that her husband had been overprotectivetely to the point of annoying their boss.

    "What did he do? Why are you mad at him?" Be asked, curious as she looked at Harper.

    Harper exined to Be how Leo always interferes with her secretary, Dana. Leo forbade her from giving Dana too much work and going on business trips unless he came along. Harper had many moreints, which caused Be to hold back herughter.

    Instead of feeling sorry for Harper, Be felt amused.

    "I think I need to return Dana to be Leo’s secretary. Rather than giving me a headache," Harper said while smiling at Dana. "Ugh, well, Dana, don’t feel offended by what I say now. You can’t me me, dear. Your husband is too overprotective of you."

    Dana grinned and nodded in agreement to Harper.

    "It’s fine, Boss Harper. I won’t be offended. Just for your information, I always remind him not to bring personal matters to work. But he often forgets," Dana said, taking a deep breath as she nced at Leo briefly.

    This is what Dana’s afraid of. Their friendship will affect their rtionship at work.

    "Just bear with it for a while, Harper." Be tried to cheer her up and told her not to stress. "Leo did that because Dana was pregnant..."

    "I know, girl... I know..." Harper’s annoyance gradually faded. She smiled at Dana before continuing, "Well, after today, knowing Dana was pregnant, I could understand him."

    "Thanks, Boss Harper..." Dana faintly smiled.

    "Don’t mention it," Harper said. "Oh right, Dana, please tell me when you want to take your long leave. So, I could ask my secretary in New York to move here."

    "Yes, I will," Dana promised, even though she did not know when, as this was her first pregnancy, she was clueless about everything.

    While Dana and Harper were chatting, something was bothering Be. She asked, "Dana, will Leo allow you to work after giving birth?"

    Harper suddenly gasped.

    "Oh my gosh! Why didn’t I think about it?" Harper, also curious, looked at Dana, "Did he?"

    Dana shook her head helplessly.

    "To be honest, we haven’t talked about it. I want to continue working, but we’ll see how things go," Dana answered. She wants to work, but she doesn’t have the luxury of having a family or someone who can help her take care of her child, and she can’t imagine entrusting her child to daycare.

    "You should talk to Leo, Dana. I need to know about it faster to find someone who can continue your work," Harper’s tone became intense because this was not a small matter.

    Be became more concerned about thepany, not only because of Dana. But also because Harper would be married and have a child. She narrowed her eyes, looking at Harper.

    ’Was she aware of it? Why does she look so rxed?’ Be wondered.

    "Harper, what about you? Did Sean allow you to work?" Be finally voiced her concern.
