Morning comes at the Mo Corporation. Employees were anticipating for the boss to come, and among them was Mo Hanlu. This is the second time his brother skipped work this month and he knew this is because of Daniel. Mo Hanlu sigh as he realized his brother had fallen deep.

"Young Master Hanlu! Young Master Hanlu!" Some of the employees called Hanlu, Hanlu is surrounded by the employees to ask him about the boss.

" Young Master Hanlu, is it true that Eldest Young Master already has a lover? " One of the female employees asked. Even though everybody knew that Mo Laotian wasn't interested in other people, many people still secretly hoped that the ice king would someday notice them.

It isn't bad to dream so when some of the employees witnessed the sudden behavior of Mo Laotian yesterday at the meeting, different theories surfaced into their minds. Why would the ever so cold-hearted Mo Laotian use a gentle voice and even adjourn a meeting just so he could talk to someone on the phone?

All of them who witnessed yesterday speculated that maybe their boss had finally found a lover.

Nobody wants to give up until it was confirmed and the only way to confirm it, is through Mo Hanlu. But who would have thought Mo Hanlu would keep a tight mouth about it. Of course, they didn't know that the Alpha wasn't reckless enough to reveal a secret that would ruin even his life. 

He would never want this news to reach the two elders.

"Please go back to your works. Brother texted me earlier that he had something he had to do." Hanlu lied and shooed the female species.

"Young Master Hanlu, even though you're keeping a tight mouth about the situation you really still can't keep a secret." The employees giggled as they teased Mo Hanlu. Mo Hanlu's actions and his responses have confirmed that the Eldest Young Master indeed had found a lover and perhaps the boss really had fallen.

Mo Hanlu slightly panicked seeing the faces of the employees, they looked like they finally got their questions answered. Mo Hanlu couldn't deny it as his brother would kill him. He didn't have the right to make this decision so he hurriedly excused himself. He wasn't aware that what he just did and said furthermore verified the answer that had transpired in the employees' minds.

Mo Hanlu only knew that he didn't say anything about his brother having a lover.

In reality, the employees confirmed that the ice king really found a lover when Mo Hanlu didn't deny it and instead lied about Mo Laotian texting. 

First of all, Mo Laotian never text. Secondly, Mo Hanlu admired his older brother so much that it was a hundred percent sure he would deny it if Mo Laotian didn't have a lover. But since Mo Hanlu didn't deny it and even lied and run away, confirms everything.

Everyone could only give up hope. It wasn't easy to make the boss fall or even get his attention so almost everybody thought that this new found love and relationship of the boss would last a lifetime. This is because everyone knew the boss isn't the kind to play around.

Meanwhile at the luxurious hotel on the 20th floor. The couple was still peacefully sleeping with their arms on each other. They only woke up when Mo Laotian's phone aggressively rang across the room.

Waking up, Mo Laotian pick up his phone with Daniel still snuggled against his chest.

"What is it?" Laotian asked with a hoarse voice indicating that he had just woken up. Even his eyes were still closed.

"Brother where are you? I think they already know about Cutie. What do I do?" Mo Hanlu panicked blurting out everything that happened earlier with the employees.

"Hanlu." Mo Laotian called without any trace of emotion in his voice.

"Calm down. Let them think what they want." Mo Laotian simply said calming the panicking Mo Hanlu and as id hearing the Alpha's reason, Hanlu nodded.

"Okay, I got it, brother. When are you going to work?"

"Later." Hanlu nodded again as if hearing the reason for his brother's delay.

"Okay okay, I got it. I'll handle everything while you enjoy yourself with Cutie." Mo Hanlu said before hanging up. When Mo Laotian put his phone down, Daniel was already awake playing with his exposed muscles.

"Did I wake you up!?" Laotian caress Daniel's hair before his warm palms landed on the Omega's stomach rubbing in circles.

"No, I couldn't feel my feet." Daniel slightly lifts his leg and his feet were indeed swollen slightly out of form.

"Does it hurt? I'll massage it. I heard it will reduce the swelling." Laotian worriedly get up touching Daniel's fat feet.

*giggles* "That looks crazy." Daniel laughs watching his own feet. He heard he will start swelling in the feet, hands, joints, and face but this was the first time he's having it. It looked kind of crazy.

"I don't want you hurting like this." Mo Laotian said upset as he caresses Daniel's feet and started to massage carefully not to hurt the Omega more.

"It doesn't hurt that bad. I can take it." Daniel assured the Alpha but slightly hissed in pain feeling the pressure on his foot.

"I'm not good at this. I'll call someone to massage your feet." after seeing the pained expression on Daniel, Laotian couldn't stop worrying and immediately got off of the bed to call someone.

"Laotian it's okay. I'm good with your massage." Daniel stopped Laotian but the Alpha didn't listen and immediately called someone. After a minute or so, he finally finished and turn to Daniel.

"I'm not an expert and I might do something that will hurt you and the baby," Laotian said after talking to the telephone and hanging up. He kissed Daniel on the forehead and went to the closet to find a shirt.

"I also ordered breakfast as well."

"Hmmm. You're so nice to me Laotian. I feel so blessed." Daniel stubbornly tried to stand up that Laotian immediately rush towards him.

"Hey, be good and sit." Laotian kissed the Omega's forehead again before pinching Daniel's cheeks. Just then the doorbell suddenly rang, Laotian ask Daniel to patiently wait while he answers the door.

When Laotian got back, a woman in her '30s was with him. She looked like a therapist with her uniform. The woman smiled at Daniel before explaining the details and reasons why Daniel was swelling. When she had started massaging, Laotian carefully watched wanting to learn. Seeing that the Alpha was eager to learn, the woman gladly explained where to press and put pressure on.

The woman is a professional therapist and massaging pregnancy edema is easy for her so after half an hour Daniel felt a lot better.

"In this case, any message would not harm the mother and baby with pregnancy edema. But pressing the pressure points I said earlier would the most effective. If you need anything Mr. Mo just asks for me. I will be leaving now." The therapist said after finishing packing her things. Laotian and Daniel thank her and she smiled at the hugging couple before exiting.

Last night, the whole employees in the hotel were in uproar seeing the Boss was with a possibly pregnant Omega. Daniel's clothes yesterday hid his stomach well and people only speculated that maybe he's pregnant since he was wearing a maternity dress.

But after today, the therapist confirmed that the Omega was indeed pregnant with the boss child. She even learned that both had an intimate activity last night with the disregarded sheets and a ripped maternity dress all laying on the floor. The dark red and purple marks on the Omega's thigh and neck also didn't escape the woman's eye.

When the woman came back from the couple's love nest. Everyone surrounded her waiting for her to speak. Seeing the desperate eyes of the young employees, she sighs and shakes her head.

"You lot should give up. The boss has definitely fallen in love." She simply said remembering how the boss diligently listened to her advice earlier, worriedly looking at the Omega when he groans in pain. When she was done massaging, the Alpha hugged the Omega lovingly as if his lover had just escaped death.

Meanwhile, breakfast arrived and Mo Laotian and Daniel started eating while they watched the beautiful view of the city as they sit next to each other.

Your chef here cooks really good but of course, Mr. David is still the best." Daniel talked taking another bite of his food. He's thankful he doesn't have to throw up anymore.

"When the hotel had just started 13 years ago. David worked here for a year training the chefs." Laotian chatted. 

When the business just started, Mo Laotian was only 22 years old and he planned the hotel when he was still 21. Since he was just starting, he had David help him train his employees. And since the Empire Hotel was his first business, he wanted to have the food served in the restaurant tasted familiar and in order to achieve that, he borrowed David for a year. 

Back then, he was only known as the heir of the Mo empire and his talents haven't been acknowledged yet. Nobody thought his success in his hotel was because he was good at finding talented and loyal people. Everybody thought it's because he already had a great background that his business boomed.

They didn't know, Laotian handpicked every individual from the cleaners to the head managers. He doesn't only consider talents but also attitude. Those who applied that had low qualifications but have a good attitude and talent were trained to become professionals and now widely known.

When it comes to working, Mo Laotian doesn't discourage those who have talent, attitude, and ability to sore high. That's why despite that he was not fond of Omegas, they were still able to work at the Mo empire. This judgment of his was one of the reasons why he was so successful. All his employees were loyal to him. And willing to work for him.

And after taking over Mo Corporation, only one and a half year he was able to double the company profit and gained more loyal and capable employees. Although the Mo Empire had existed for almost a century, Laotian was the only one who managed to lift the whole Empire to where it is now.

"That's why they cook so good. Mr. David is so capable." Daniel complements David causing Laotion to feel upset. When Daniel had noticed the slight change in the atmosphere, he immediately looked at Laotian holding on his hands.

"But of course you're more than capable than anybody else," Daniel said sweetly to the Alpha.

"But I don't know how to cook like David." Laotian looked at the Omega's smiling face.

"I only need you to be by my side. Not to cook for me." Daniel locked his fingers against Laotian's and said this. Laotian pulled Daniel into a hug hiding his smiling face.

"Stop talking now and eat your food," Laotian said not wanting Daniel to know that he liked what he heard. When he let go, his face had come back to normal. The earlier smile disappeared as if it didn't exist.

The couple continued eating their breakfast and talked for a little while before heading to the shower. This wasn't the first time the two had taken a shower together. They would even sometimes soak in the bathtub together.

Laotian helped Daniel wash his legs as the Omega couldn't bend down now that his stomach had become bigger. On Laotian's mind, he could not stop thinking Daniel as beautiful. He had seen a lot of beautiful men and women before but Daniel was like an angel.

In this world, Omegas are naturally beautiful and had more feminine features than most females that's why they were so irresistible. Laotian dated an Omega when he is in his teens but he had never seen someone as beautiful as Daniel.

Daniel's skin is flawless as a baby. He has a small pointed nose, long curly lashes on top of his beautiful upturned eyes. He has small but full lips that had a line between the lower lips. Full brows that are not too arch. Small forehead, pointed chin with a softly defined jawline. His hair had a slight wave on it and those eyes seem like it's looking at the sun.

All of Daniel's was just breathtakingly beautiful. The first time he had woken up with Daniel, he already thought that he was beautiful but now, Laotian appreciates it each day he sees Daniel.

"Are we heading back home after this?" Daniel asked. They were now having their time soaked in the bathtub with the water full of bubbles. Daniel was laying on Laotian's chest while the latter hugs him.

"You have somewhere you want to go?"

"Yeah. I want to go back to Secada to get some things." Daniel said playing with the Alpha's arms rubbing it with bubbles.

"Okay, we'll go there before coming back."
