As the door opened, Jason jerked back to reality as he felt Tim's hand on his shoulders.

"Hmm, oh, sorry about that; I was lost in thought for a minute," Jason apologized.

Tim shook his head, aware of what was really distracting Jason.

"Okay, so I fully understand what you have stated, and we would schedule a meeting with your management after our design team comes up with the blueprint for the new version." Jason explained it a few minutes later.

"That would be most appreciated," the client replied as they got to their feet.

Jason shook hands with them, happy to have finished the meeting successfully.

"We look forward to hearing from you soon," the client said and left.

A few seconds later, the client went out through the door, and Jason could relax his back on the couch he was sitting on.

"That went well; we have ourselves a new deal," Jason muttered.

"Yeah, it went well, but you were distracted," Tim stated.

"Me? Distracted? When? How? You don't know what you're saying, Ti

Gift replied."I told you no surprises, Gift," Jason said again."There's nothing about this that's a surprise, Jason; it's just a harmless outing," Gift said, al

Laura asked as soon as Teressa dropped the call."Uhm, it seems you have a package that was sent for you," Teressa replied."What package?

    ~Ten minutes earlier~Jason dragged himself out of bed, the vibration of his phone piercing his subconsciousness. completely drowsy and wishing he didn't have to leave the bed. He pulled himself toward the table to pick up his phone, which he had left there the night before."F*ck!" Jason cursed as he stumbled towards the table."Who the hell is calling me so early in the day?" He muttered as he picked up the phone.He had only shorts; his perfectly chiseled chest was bare, and his tousled hair fell over his left eye in a simple fashion."You know some people would be grateful they don't have to come to work so early on a weekend," Jason groaned into the phone as he walked barefoot to the kitchen in his living room."Jason, we both know you love it," Tim replied with a chuckle on the other end."What do you want, Tim?

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.

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?"
