"Isabel, wait baby. Please don't listen to her. She's lying. I swear I didn't cheat on you." Adam's pleading voice could be heard behind me. But it was fading away as I stomped from his office. 
Juliana was confused seeing me in this state, without giving a last glance I entered the lift and clicked to the floor where Kate's working. I really needed someone's shoulder to lean on. Kate is my first choice as she is the closest person right now. 
I know I should believe my husband rather than that slut, but there was this nagging feeling in my heart which refuses to believe him.
As soon as I reached Kate's floor I barged into her office only to scream at the site in front of me. 
I quickly turned around and exited the room and patted my chest to calm my razing heart. 
" What the fuck Drea? You should have knocked on the door." Kate yelled behind the closed doors. 
After hearing shuffling and whispering Kate yelled out for me to come in.
I opened the door with my eyes closed and entered inside. 
" Don't worry you can open yours eyes now Drea, we are decent." Kate stated.
There in front of me stood my bestfriend
and Zac who looked frustrated. 
"You should have knocked Drea." Kate said annoyance was clear in her voice.
" I am sorry.. I did.. didn't know that you were busy.." I stuttered. 
" Drea are you ok? " Kate asked as she noticed my state. Even Zac frowned looking at me. 
" Yeah, I am completely fine. I just popped into say hi to you. But as I see you are really busy." I faked a smiled.
I know that I suck at acting , because if  I did  then Kate wouldn't be scrutinizing me with her curious eyes. 
" Gotta go, see you later Kate." With that I left her office eventhough she was calling me from behind. 
Kate seems to be having a good time and I don't want to mess it up for her. Whatever the truth is , it's my problem to handle and I don't want to drag anybody else into this mess. I know I shouldn't have jumped into conclusions and should give Adam a chance to explain his side but right now what I need is some time to think. 
(Time skip)
I laid beside my mother with my head resting on her chest as she stroked her fingers through my hair. My eyes were bloodshot and my throat was parched after a series of crying. This is our usual thing , whenever I have a problem or difficulty I would pour my heart out while laying in her arms.
" Do you feel better my baby?" My mom asked after seeing that I have stopped crying.
Instead of replying I snuggled deeper into her arms enjoying the warmth of her embrace. There is magic in every mother's hug. It can vanish all your problems.
She sighed as she understood that I am not gonna reply to her. I whined when she untangled herself from me while she glared at me  making me pout at her.
"You know crying out loud doens't gonna solve your problem Drea. You have to confront Adam and listen to what he is saying. Maybe whatever Jennifer said might not be true. Don't jump into conclusion and lose the ones you love my baby. " She explained as tears clouded in my eyes. 
" I know mom I am being irrational by not listening to him. But I  don't wanna get hurt mom. What if the baby Jennifer is carrying is really his? " I whispered out the last part.
