“He went over there,” Lisa replied, pointing towards the restroom on the far end of the hall.

Handing Lisa over to Audrey, Laura headed in the direction Lisa had pointed.

“Liam!” Laura muttered through gritted teeth in frustration.

Behind her, Audrey watched Laura match off in anger.

“I think we should go after her,” Audrey said.

“I think so too, Aunt Audrey,” Lisa replied. She didn’t want her mom to catch on to what they were trying to do. Liam had told her he had seen candidate number two before he headed in the direction of the restroom.

“Okay, let’s go; we can get your bags later,” Audrey said, and they went after Laura.

******

In the rest room, standing beside Liam was a cool, tall, and handsome young man, and Liam thought, I think I’ve found my candidate number two.

“What are you looking at, kid?” the man asked.

"Nothing; I just noticed how funny your shoe looks with that on it,” Liam replied as he cleaned his hand with the tissue in his hands.

The man looked at his shoe and smiled. “I didn’t notice that,” he said.

“Yeah, well, it’s the difference in height,” Liam replied.

The man chuckled at the child’s humor as he dried his hands with a tissue, wondering why the boy was alone without a guardian.

“Can I get your card?” Liam asked the stranger.

The man was surprised by the request. What did a young child want his card for?

Liam looked at the man curiously and said, “Don’t tell me you don’t have a card; that’s a red flag already.”

The man laughed, took a card from his suit pocket, and handed it over to the boy.

“Here you go; do I get your card too?” the man asked playfully.

“No, you don't; that’s not needed; it’s against the rules,” Liam replied.

“Okay, cute guy, let’s go find your parents," the man said, holding Liam’s hand as they headed out of the restroom.

Laura, who had just gotten to the door, was about to push it open when a man stepped out and bumped into her.

Their heads hitting each other, “Watch where you’re going,” the man said in anger as he looked up at the person who had bumped into him.

“You should watch where you’re going too; the door isn’t meant for you alone,” Laura replied sharply. She immediately disliked the tone of the man, and her reply came out defensive.

“This is the male restroom, so I’d say I have more right to be here than you do,” the man replied.

Laura rolled her eyes, unimpressed by his argument. "Well, maybe you should consider looking before barging into people," she retorted, crossing her arms. The tension between them heated up as people passing began to glance their way.

The man clenched his fists, his face turning unreadable. "Who do you think you are?" he snapped.

Laura stood her ground, her voice steady and firm. "I'm someone who expects common courtesy and respect, regardless of gender."

The tension in the air grew thicker as their argument escalated, drawing even more attention from the onlookers.

They were both so caught up in the moment that they didn't notice the child standing between them.

Liam could sense the tension between her mom and candidate number two. He didn't want that to happen. He knew his mom didn't like men who treated women wrong; she always told him to treat Lisa right.

"Mom?" Liam said, timidly tugging at Laura's sleeve, his eyes filled with concern.

Startled, Laura and the man finally broke their gazes and looked down at the child, their anger momentarily forgotten.

"Oh, thank God, Liam, why did you run off without telling me?" Laura asked as she hugged him.

The man looked at Laura smugly and said, "You should take better care of your child, ma'am, and not spend time arguing with strangers."

The man's condescending tone only fueled Laura's annoyance. She looked up to reply and noticed he was gone.

“Oh, you found him, thank God,” Audrey said from behind Laura as they finally caught up with her.

“Don’t you ever go off like that again without telling me OKAY,” Laura said to Liam as she stood up and took his hand.

A few minutes later, they had gotten their bag, and they were headed to their hotel room.

“What’s the state of the business? Give me a rundown of what you have so far,” Laura said to Audrey.

“Humm, okay,” Audrey replied. She knew what a workaholic her boss was, so she didn’t argue.

“We have analyzed their data, and some very interesting patterns popped up,” Audrey replied.

The twins were both tapping away on their iPads, playing games, so Laura turned to Audrey.

“Okay, what and what?” Laura asked.

“We noticed a drastic reduction in their customer base, following a reduction in customer rating since the last quarter of the year before,” Audrey replied.

“Okay, by what margin is the reduction?” Laura asked.

“We noticed a reduction of thirty percent,” Audrey replied.

“Humm, that does not sound good,” Laura replied, pausing to think.

Just then, the car pulled into the hotel. “You’ll fill me in on the rest later,” Laura replied.

Tapping the twins, Laura said, “Put those in the bag; we are going up to our rooms.”

"Okay, mummy,” they both said.

Lisa leaned over to Liam before they stepped out after their mother and asked, “Did you get his card?”

“Yes, I did, but mom saw him, and they almost fought,” Liam replied, concerned.

“Lisa, Liam, get out of the car,” Laura called.

“We’ll deal with that later, okay?” Lisa said to Liam hurriedly as they came out of the car.

“What are you two up to again?” Laura asked, raising her brows in suspicion.

"Nothing, mom,” Lisa said quickly, her face breaking into a cheeky smile.

“We are being cool, mom,” Liam replied too.

“Okay, hold my hands, and let’s go,” Laura said to them, holding out her hands to them.

As the twins latched onto her hands, Laura turned towards the entrance of the hotel and saw the man again, and she froze.

Moving closer to his sister, “That’s him,” Liam whispered to Lisa.

“Who?” Lisa asked.

“Candidate number two, let me check his name,” Liam whispered back.

“What is it?” Lisa asked impatiently.

Unaware of the drama going on among her kids, Laura noticed the man was walking towards them.

Liam placed a hand on his sister’s ear and whispered, “His name is Jason North.”

  • TWINS FOR MR. BILLIONAIRE   It's You Daddy

    Shawn and Tobias looked back instantly, and the shock on their faces was so appealing that it brought a smile to Lily's face. "Laura? What are you doing here?" Tobias asked, looking shocked. "You look like you've seen a ghost." Laura said as she walked over and sat in front of them. Before they could answer, they heard a knock at the door, and Laura said, "Oh, that must be him." "Aunt, I thought you said she left," Tobias said, looking at Lily. Lily remained silent and only responded with a shrug. Laura opened the door, and Jason walked into the office, a sight that only made Tobias more scared and Shawn visibly angry. "You were saying something about my family," Laura said, addressing Shawn. "What is going on here? Why does this feel like a trap? Are you suspecting us of something?" Shawn asked, standing up suddenly. "Nobody is suspecting you of anything; we are just asking you about your last statement," Lily said, breaking her silence. "You know what? I'm leaving. I only

    As soon as they were alone, Jason turned back to Laura and said, "Let's hear it."Laura shook her head and replied, "Jason, up until this morning, I didn't have the information I have now. I was actually trying my best not to be angry at you.""Why would you be angry at me? If for anything, I should be the one pissed, because you were not picking up my calls and you left without any notice from the event that day.""I know, but if you hear me out, then maybe you will understand my reasons," Laura said, holding up her hand."Okay, you have the floor," Jason said as he took his seat a few feet away from her."I came back to town to find my mother and to find out what happened to me seven years ago," Laura said.Jason was silent as he watched her speak, his expression neutral. Laura brushed her hair behind her neck and continued to explain her mother's relationship to Lily."Suffix it to say that I found my grandmother, but I was not able to find out what happened that one night that I c

    Grace walked into Jared's office, demanding to have an audience with him."I'm sorry, ma'am, but you can't go in now; he is not on sit," the receptionist said apologetically."I know he is in there; tell him that if he does not see me now, he won't like the next news he hears," Grace responded.Having no choice, the receptionist put a call through to Jared's office again and relayed the message.After a few minutes, she dropped the phone and said, "You can go in, ma'am.""I thought as much," Grace replied, and she walked straight to the elevator.It had been radio silence since her last confrontation with Jared, but now she was going to rain down all the anger she felt within on him."I told you not to come here, Grace," Jared said as soon as Grace walked into his office."I don't give a damn what you say any longer, Jared," Grace replied with scorn."What exactly do you want, Grace?" Jared asked."What do I want? Huh, that's rich coming from you." Grace replied, adding, "You know I h

    Lily was surprised to hear that, so she gripped her hand tightly and asked, "What else is there that I haven't said?"Laura shook her head and replied, "No, not you; it's from me.""Oh, what is it?" Lily asked.Laura pulled her hand from Lily's grip and brushed it through her hair as she sighed deeply."Actually, I came back to town because of two things. The first was because of the note you sent to me about my mother, and the second was because I wanted to find out what happened to me about seven years ago." Laura explained.Lily's face squeezed in confusion as she asked, "Something happened to you? What might it be?""Well, I don't know either; all I know is that I got pregnant after, and that was what resulted in my father sending me away from town," Laura replied."What?" Lily exclaimed in shock."Yes, you see, I was betrothed to Jared Tuner, but my stepsister set me up that night," Laura said, explaining what Grace had told her about the same night.There was more confusion on L

    "Jason?" Tim called, wondering what was wrong."Okay, Liam, thank you for calling me. Do you know where you stay?" Jason said this on the phone.Tim realized he was talking to Laura's son and shrugged, hoping he got the answer he was looking for."No, that's fine. How is Lisa?" Jason asked.Just like magic, the hard look on Jason's face cleared as he spoke with the children. After a few minutes, the call ended."So?" Tim asked."They are leaving in two days," Jason said."What two days?" Tim replied, surprised."Yes," Jason replied, his voice sounding dejected."Oh, oh," Tim muttered."What did Gift say?" Jason asked."Nothing, just like I told you she would," Tim replied, adding, "Don't the kids know where the house is?""They don't; I think Liam called me from the card I gave him sometimes back," Jason replied."Hmm, well, I think you have tried all that you can," Tim said encouragingly.I am really going to lose Laura, Jason thought as he sat there, staring into space.*************

    When Jason walked into the office that morning, everyone who saw him knew something was wrong."Jason, you don't look so good," Tim whispered behind him as they walked through the building lobby."You look like you did not get any sleep last night," Tim added as he noticed a few people staring at Jason."That is of less concern right now, Tim; I need you to get Gift here today," Jason replied as they boarded the elevator."Gift? You mean the same Gift Hatcher?" Tim asked."Yes, I need to ask her about Laura. She mentioned some time ago that they had been childhood friends," Jason replied.Tim shook his head, knowing that was not going to be a good idea, considering the outcome of the last meeting Gift had with Jason."I can basically feel you shaking your head from here," Jason muttered."Uhm, I just don't think Gift would be a good idea; I mean, after the last time, she would not be so keen to see you." Tim explained.Jason was at his wits end, and he was only trying to hold it all t
