"Are you my mommy's friend?" Lisa asked the women in front of them."Uhm, yes, I am," Lily replied, her voice stuttering as she stared at the faces before her."I'm Lily's friend, and your mommy is Lily's friend, so she is my friend too," Natasha replied.Liam had a confused look on his face as he turned to Natasha. "I don't understand," he replied.Lily laughed; the child was cute, which made her like them. "Come on in; let's go have our seat."Natasha and Lily had recovered from the surprise of seeing the children's faces."These children look so much like Jason!" Lily whispered to Natasha."It would have been such a blessing if these kids were Jason's," Natasha whispered to Lily, staring at the children sweetly.The children had just moved to New York, so there was no way they were Jason's."A blessing indeed, Natasha," Lily whispered back as they sat down in the living room.Liam and Lisa were looking at the two women cluelessly, wondering what they were talking about."Do you lik
Laura turned to him and said, "Uhm, it seems my car just developed a fault.""Oh, how bad is it?" David asked, looking towards Audrey."It has to be taken for repair; I'm afraid it won't be able to take Laura back to the hotel." Audrey replied."I can do that; don't worry; that is, if you don't mind Laura," David stated.Laura thought about it for a minute before replying, "I would really appreciate that, David, but there's just one problem.""What is that?" David asked."I need to pick up my children on the way back," Laura told him.David's face had a little surprise on it. "Uhm, that should not be a problem," he quickly replied to mask his surprise, adding, "I'm done for the day, so I'm free."Laura had noticed the look on his face, but she was impressed that he had refrained from making the usual comment she usually hears."Okay, thank you so much," Laura told him before turning to Audrey to say, "What about you?""I'll make sure the car gets to the workshop before heading home,"
"Lisa, do not open that door," Laura scolded as she hurried over to her and pulled her back."Mummy, I want to see Aunt Audrey," Lisa said, pouting."Aunt Audrey didn't come with me today; you'll see her another time. Wait here, okay," Laura explained, adding, "Liam, make sure Lisa does not come out."Liam grinned from ear to ear, his shoulders high, as he walked over to Lisa. "Now, I'm in charge," he said.Lisa squeezed her face, folded her hands, and said, "No, you're not."Laura rolled her eyes as she opened the door. She stepped out and closed it behind her."You're alone," David stated, looking behind her."Yeah, I am; I'm afraid I have to stay longer than I thought," Laura told him."Oh, that's not a problem," David responded with a smile."Thank you, David, but I can't keep you here for that long; you should just go. My kids are still playing inside, and Lily has offered her driver to take us back to the hotel." Laura stated."Oh, I see. Okay, I guess that means I won't get to
Tim stepped out of the car and walked up to Jason. "What is it you want to get so I can get it for you?"Jason was distracted, and Tim had blocked his view. "Uhm, Tim," Jason said, clearing his throat, adding, "Please step aside.""I should what? Are you alright? Do you need water?" Tim asked, stepping closer to Jason.Jason was frustrated; instead of trying to peer over Tim's shoulder, Jason stepped around him, but the lady was gone. He had not seen her face, just her back and lovely hair."Damm!" Jason hissed and turned back to Tim with raised brows."What?" Tim asked, confused."Did you do that on purpose?" Jason asked, with his brows still raised."Do what? Did I do something?" Tim asked, still clueless as to what Jason was referring to.Jason stared at Tim's clueless face and shook his head as he said, "Never mind.""Okay, would you still go to the doctor's place?" Tim asked."Yes, the file I need is in a brown envelope on my reading table." Jason said that and got back into the
Laura held her breath, wondering why her father was silent. She hoped that for once in her life, her father would truly be a father and tell her what she wanted to know. "Dad? Are you still there?" Laura asked, just to be sure. There was silence on the other end. Lara was getting frustrated, but she kept it in and asked again. "I'm sure you don't plan to stay on this call forever, dad," she said. "Sign the papers to me, Laura, and we will talk," Jerry said at last, ending the call. "Damm!" Laura cursed as she threw the phone on the bed and sank down on it. The weight of her frustration was getting unbearable. She picked up her phone and typed a message: 'Tell me just one thing: my mother's name. Laura sent the message, hoping that whoever had sent her that message would reply. "I just need to know," Laura muttered. It's barely been a week since she got back to New York, and so much has happened. If finding out about her mother and what happened that faithful night seven year
"Oh, no, I think he saw us," Jacob whispered to Pamela, their faces still buried close to each other. "Just be quiet. I'm sure he'll leave if we don't raise our heads," Pamela replied. A wide grin spread on Jason's face as he watched the two before him. He placed both hands in his pants pocket and smiled. "Now, this seems like a really big secret; I wonder who I should tell," Jason said. "I told you he was in front of us already," Jacob whispered to Pamela again. "Be quiet and keep your head down; I'm sure he doesn't know it's us," Pamela said to him again. "Hey, Tim," Jason called. "Yes, Jason," Tim answered, hurrying over to his side. "Do you remember those two from Jared's party? What's their name again?" Jason asked, feigning ignorance. Tim was surprised as to why Jason was pretending like he didn't know their names, but he answered any way, "Hmm, it's Pamela and Jacob." Jason snapped his finger like he just caught an understanding as he said, "Yes, of course, Pamela and
Laura looked up from her phone to see that Audrey had just bumped into someone, and she saw it was a familiar face.She stood up and walked towards them, and she could hear Audrey saying, "What did you do that for?"At that moment, Jason stepped out from behind Charlie, his face unreadable as he stared at the phone on the ground."You weren't watching where you were going," Jason replied."What's going on here?" Laura asked as Audrey bent over to pick up her phone."The guy right here stepped in front of me on purpose," Audrey said."How do I tell Jason about the booked table?" Tim murmured to himself as he walked into the restaurant."A table shouldn't be a problem; I mean, it's just one table." He assured himself.Just then, he saw the group standing in the restaurant. His eyes widened in shock as he realized the one table that was already booked was for Laura Phillips."Oh, no, this is not going to be good," Tim muttered to himself."What did you do that for? You could have just ta
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
