Laura stood up from her seat and asked, "Who did you just say is here?"

"It's Mr. Jerry Philips, and he is insisting on seeing you," Audrey replied.

Laura shook her head in dismay at the fact that her father had chosen to come cause a scene at her workplace.

"Let him in," Laura instructed, knowing well that was the only way to end it all.

He had gone to the hotel, and then here he was again; if she didn't see him, he wouldn't back down.

"Are you sure?" Audrey asked.

"Yes, please let him in," Laura replied, adding, "It shouldn't take long once I hear what he has to say."

"Okay, I'll go let them in," Audrey replied.

"Who exactly accompanied him?" Laura asked.

"I think it's his wife," Audrey replied.

"Okay, thank you," Laura said.

A few minutes later, the door to her office opened, and Jerry and Anna Philips walked through it towards her.

"Hello, father," Laura said, walking around her desk towards them too.

She pointed and directed them to the sitting area as she said, "Let's sit over h

    Jason looked up and replied, "Okay, bring her in."Tim walked out of the office to do as Jason had instructed, hoping that it all went according to plan."Hello, Gift, right this way," Tim said, directing Gift towards Jason's office."Hello, Tim, Is Jason in?" Gift asked."Yes, he is, and he is waiting for you," Tim replied."Okay, good," Gift said as Tim stepped aside to let her through."I'll be right at my desk if you need me, Jason," Tim said from the door."Thank you, Tim," Jason replied.Gift walked into the office, her eyes devoid of any emotion as she walked over to Jason and said, "I hope whatever you want to say is good.""How are you?" Jason asked, not replying to her statement."I feel really suspicious that you have summoned me to your office, which is really unlike you, Jason," Gift said, walking over to one of the couches and taking her seat."I believe asking you how you are is because it's been a while since I saw you," Jason stated."And that is totally not my fault,

    "Hello Laura," Lily said, walking towards Laura with so much agility."Lily? What are you doing here?" Laura asked before she realized how her words must sound."Oh, I see someone isn't glad to see me," Lily said with a chuckle."Uhm, of course not. I'm sorry it sounded like that. Let's talk in the office," Laura said."Okay," Lily replied, walking towards the office with Laura following her behind."Why is she here?" Laura whispered to Tina, adding, "It's late; should she not be resting or something?""You really should learn to whisper; I can hear you," Lily said, turning to face them.Tina smiled, knowing that, with the sharp ears Lily had, she had learned early on to just speak her mind."Uhm, I was saying, shouldn't you be resting? It's quite late," Laura said."I know, come, let's sit over there," Lily said, walking over to the same couch where Laura had spoken to her father."Okay, I hope everything is good," Laura replied as she took a seat beside Lily."Yes, it is; I was on m

    Jason and Tim looked up to see Shawn walk into the office with a smug, satisfying look on his face."Here comes trouble," Tim muttered to himself before looking at Jason to see his reaction."Oh, god, not now," Jason murmured under his breath as he saw Shawn approach him.Jason's expression became neutral to ensure that Shawn did not catch on to what was happening, or else he knew it was not going to play out fine.Whatever he was here to do, mostly, was not good, and Jason knew this."Hello, little brother," Shawn said."Hello Shawn, the meeting room is on the other end of the building," Jason replied."Oh, I know, I'm just here to expel you from the office, you know, because I know you probably won't be seeing it again," Shawn said, a wicked grin on his face.Jason stood there staring at him, wondering what the hell he was playing at."If you will excuse me, I have some things I need to tidy up here before I join everyone at the meeting; if you don't mind, you can head over there by

    Laura looked confused as she called out, "Hello Tim, is everything okay?"There was no answer, and then the call went off. They sat there, staring at the phone, hoping that nothing serious was happening at the office."We would be there in five minutes, ma'am," Matthew called out.Laura looked up and nodded, thankful that they were close."Whatever that was, I just hope it has nothing to do with the meeting," Laura stated."I hope so too," Audrey agreed."Okay, do we have any idea who is going to be at this meeting? I think I should have gotten a report on them," Lauara said."Humm, the majority of them work within the North Corporation. It's just a few that are external," Audrey explained."Okay, that sounds like I have a lot of people to convince," Laura muttered.Audrey smiled as she replied, "I'm sure you've got this.""Yeah, I hope so," Laura stated. All she wanted was for the whole thing to be over. She couldn't wait to get herself out of whatever would bring her close to Jason,

    "Yes, Laura, a weighted voting, not that it is unusual, but it was not necessary for this meeting, not to talk about the fact that they also made the meeting open for the public, allowing even the media room to attend," Tim explained.Weighted voting simply implies that if more people with a high number of shares voted for you, then you could probably win since their vote was equivalent to the amount of their shares in percent."Really, and that decision was made at the last minute?" Audrey asked."Yes, it was; if we had known before now, we would have informed you of it," Tim explained."Wait a moment," Laura said, holding up her hand, before adding, "If Jason is the chairman, how is all this decision made without his knowledge?""Well, technically, I agreed for my position to be made permanent based on the decision from today's meeting, meaning anyone could add any details to this event even without asking me," Jason explained."That's an absurd reason," Laura replied."That's exact

Terry North muttered as soon as he saw who had spoken.Luke North looked back and saw her, his eyes darkening in anger as the media began to take pictures of her."Natasha North," Shawn murmured under his breath as Natasha walked to the front of the room.Laura saw the look on Jason's face and knew instantly that it was his mother. When she got to him, Laura stood up and said, "You're welcome, ma'am; you can have my seat."She turned and walked towards Lily, who had an empty seat beside her."That was thoughtful of you," Lily whispered as she sat down."I just thought it was the right thing to do," Laura replied.Over at Jason's seat, he stood up and said, "Thank you for coming, mom.""I'm only here because I know your father wouldn't want me to hide away at home and watch the coporation taken away," Natasha replied."Thank you all the same," Jason said.Natasha smiled and left him to go cast her own vote, after which the voting officially came to an end."Pl

    Jason decided to treat his mother and Lily to dinner as a show of his appreciation for them."It's not everyday that we get to come to a fancy restaurant these days," Natasha muttered as a waiter passed them the menu."No, it's not everyday," Lily replied with a smile."I should pay more attention to you ladies; I promise to do better," Jason teased with a grin."More like you should get yourself a young lady to show attention," Lily replied, rasing her brows at him."He actually has one; uhm, what's her name again? The one you brought to the family dinner the other day," Natasha asked.Jason shook his head and replied, "We are no longer together, mom.""What? Why?" Natasha asked, surprised."It just didn't work out, mom; let's leave it at that," Jason replied."Humm, I see," Lily said, a knowing look on her face."To change the subject, it would have been nice if Luara was here," Jason said."I guess so; she really did amaze me today," Lily replied."I must say she is a rear gem for

    "You assured me you were going to get me the position, uncle, but I guess I should not have trusted you," Shawn said to his uncle.Luke and Terry North had their shoulders squared in disappointment. It had been a bad day for them; to think that they now had to obey Jason's every bid without a word of complaint was the worst hell they could think of."You're not the only one who is affected by this, Shawn; maybe if you had not gone to Lily's place, then she would not have been too suspicious of that invite," Luke North blamed Shawn."I only went there to solicit for her help; how is that so bad? If she really does care about my father, then she should not discriminate between his children," Shawn stated.They were all sitting in Shawn's office, and Rita North was asking them to recount exactly what had happened."It's not something I want to talk about, Rita; you should have come early," Luke said."I need to know; that's the least you can do; I was not able to attend.

    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

    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 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

    Jason woke up that morning with a heavy concern in his heart. He had tossed and turned through the night.The night before, he had been stunned by Tim's statement, and for a moment, his heart had frozen."What did you just say?" He had asked."Humm, I just heard from Emily, who heard from Laura's live-in nanny that Laura is leaving town," Tim had replied carefully.Jason had sat at the back of the car, stunned by the news. He had imagined a lot of outcomes from her sudden departure from the hotel, but he had not imagined that she would leave town."When did you get this information?" Jason had asked."Uhm, just before you stepped out of your office," Tim had also replied catiously."Why isn't she telling me about leaving town? Why is she suddenly avoiding me?" Jason asked himself, feeling a sinking feeling in his belly.Now, at the dawn of a new day, Jason climbed out of bed, looking dazed as he murmured, "I never thought I would feel this way."He walked over to the balcony and stare
