Iris's POV"Mommy! I want to go with you in the company. I won't stay here! Please!" Andrie asks, begging his eyes. He was so restless.His droopy eyelashes frowned. Sadness wraps his baby face.I slightly pinched his cheek after I facing him. I don't want to carry him in the company but I have nothing to do. He wants to go with me. I know his heart longing for missing away from me. So he wanted to come with me all the time. He doesn't want to be far from me.I feel that. He just wants to be with me because of missing him by my side. He just wants to spend his times for us. I felt his pain! I know it hurts! "Why? Why you won't stay here son?

"Sir! Is it true that the Vontrell company is collapsing? What is the reason behind that?"When Andrie and I arrived in front of the company building. I was almost dizzy because of what's going on? Many pressmen and newscasters were scattered around.The cameras around flashed at the same time. I don't understand why there are so many of them? "Sir! We need your answer. What is the reason for the collapsing of the Vontrell company? The public wants to know! It will have a big impact on the country's economy." I saw that Lucas could hardly breathe because the pressmen were asking him questions at the same time. He was surrounded by pressmen and he could not escape from them.The pressmen are now harassing him because of the bankrupting of the company. They need to know the truth to bring it out to the public."I'm sorry! I can't answer you right now! I have to go!" Lucas replied while walking. He was followed by a lot of press around him."Send them out?" I turned to the person who g

He wants to know the truth despite everything. I know Andrie doesn't know anything so he's looking for an answer. Answer to enlighten his mind. He is too kid to experience such things."Son! Andrie!." I gently holds his little arms. Andrie is just a skinny kid.I just looked at Andrie's eyes with concern. I don't know how to tell the truth! How can I explain everything to him?It hurts!
