Laura saw Lily first, then she noticed him standing at the room window.

"Hello, Lily, sorry I kept you waiting," Laura said as she walked into the room.

"It's fine; you practically just walked in right behind me," Lily replied.

"Hello Laura," Tobias said from the window.

"Hello, Tobias," Laura replied.

"Why don't you come over here, and we can get this all over with?" Lily called Tobias.

Laura took a seat to Lily's left, while Tobias sat to her right, all facing the door.

"I know I said I would like you two to submit your report on what exactly you would like to use the hall for, and so far just Luara has called to explain herself to me," Lily stated.

"Well, Aunt, I..." Tobias interjected, but Lily cut him off.

"Let me finish," Lily said.

"Okay," Tobias replied.

Laura could see he didn't like that, but he masked it up well enough that it was hard for anyone not looking directly at him to notice.

"So, right here, I would like the both of you to state out what you would want to use that

    Laura smiled as she responded to Audrey, "Have you had anyone stay at the Jared Tuner's Hotel?""Oh, you mean the Gem Hotel? Uhm, not really; most of the international clients who come to town usually stay at the North Hotel, but I hear the Gem Hotel is taking a huge chunk of them now." Audrey replied."Okay, book a suite under my name at the Gem hotel," Laura instructed."Alright, I'll do that right away," Audrey replied."You know what? While you're doing that, let me speak to Vivian," Laura said.Audrey dialed the number, gave the phone to her, and stepped out of the office.It rang twice before Vivian picked up on the other end."Hello, Vivian; it's me, Laura," Laura introduces."Oh, Laura, good day.

Vivian replied."So, remember, you told me that you were into event planning?""Yes, of course. How can I forget that? Would you like me to plan something for you?" V

    As soon as the reservation was made, Jared was notified of the booking. He had been thinking about the reason why Laura would ask him about that night. He hoped she didn't find out about what had really happened."Did you just say the suite is under Laura Philip's name?" Jared asked."Yes, it is, and it's been booked for five days," Jared's secretary informed him.Jared had made it a point of duty to know whoever booked the expensive suites in the Gem Hotel. "Okay, thank you. Inform the hotel that I would like to know when she checks in," Jared instructed."Okay, I'll do that," the secretary replied and stepped out of the office."Why is she leaving the North Hotel? Why would she be staying for just five days?" Jared muttered as he pondered the fact.At that moment, his phone rang, and the caller ID displayed was David."Hello David," Jared said as he picked up the call."Hi, Jared, good day to you," David said on the other end."So, what do you have for me?" Jared asked."Straight to

    "What the h*ll is that?" Jason asked."The media got inside information about your pact with Laura to work on the hotel, and the most surprising part of it is that they are more interested in the fact that your position is tied to the success of the hotel," Tim explained.Jason's face hardened as he stared at the news, irritated that the day had not even ended and they were already plotting."We need to send out a press release before this gets overblown," Tim stated."Yes, tell the media team to send out a press release concerning my appointment as chairman," Jaosn instructed."Okay, what about that?" Tim asked, pointing towards the TV."Mention that the North Hotel is going through a renewal on some fronts and that Whites Consulting is a potential partner," Jason stated."Okay, I'll get to that right away," Tim replied, leaving the office."The chase has begun," Jason muttered as he picked up his phone and dialed Laura's number.It rang once, and then he heard, "Hello?""Hi, Laura,

    Agnes turned around just in time to see the door open, revealing a trolley of food being rolled into the suite."What about it?" Agnes asked, turning to look at Liam with raised brows."I'm hungry, aren't you?" Liam asked with a grin.Agnes thought about it for a minute and replied, "Well, I am."Just like that, they forgot about discussing what Liam had meant when he said his mother was going to like it."Good job," Lisa whispered to Liam as Teressa got the food and served them.An hour later, Laura walked into the suite to see them all laughing at something Agnes was saying. They were all sitting and staring at Agnes with awe on their faces."Welcome back, Laura," Teressa said as soon as Laura walked into the room."Hello, Teressa, Thank you. Could I please get my tea tonight?" Laura asked."Yes, I'll get it for you right away," Teressa replied as she stood up to go prepare the tea."Mom!" Lisa exclaimed and jumped up with speed as she ran to hug Laura."Hey, my angel, how are you?"

    "What?" Maria asked, surprised and shocked.How did they all come up with this stupid conclusion, Maria thought?"No comments," Elliot, Steve's PA, said, stepping in front of Steve and Maria just as a bodyguard stepped forward too."Back off," one of the bodyguards said to the reporter, and he shoved his way through to the cars.In under a few minutes, they were at the Gem hotel. It was a relief to Laura when she realized there were no reporters waiting for them at the hotel."Is this where you stay?" Steve asked as they walked into the hotel lobby."No, I stay at the North Hotel," Laura replied, adding, "Sorry about the scene at the airport.""Oh, don't worry about that; Maria and I got into a quarrel on a trip to Las Vegas last week, and the media is buzzing with rumors of us getting a divorce," Steve explained."Oh, really, I didn't know about that," Laura stated."You know reporters; they like to dig up things," Steve replied.Audrey had gone ahead of them to get the keys to the r

    After a few heartbeats, Laura turned her eyes away from her, plastered a smile on her face, and continued."Join me as I welcome Steve Anderson," Laura announed.The whole room erupted into loud cheers and a round of applause as Steve walked onto the podium and hugged Laura."Thank you everyone for having me, and thank you, Laura, for hosting this luncheon," Steve said with a smile.In the next few minutes, Steve spoke about some of his investments, most of the work he had done outside of New York, and the uniqueness he was looking for."Now I know how intense all of that sounds, but let's just say I'm here to hear you talk while we have snacks together. Easy, right?" Steve said it with a grin.Everyone in the room chuckled at his words as he continued."Let's make today memorable. I look forward to interacting with you all.

    Jason looked up from his phone as Tim and David approached him."I didn't know I would have to hunt you down at such an event, David," Jason muttered as they got to him."I was just talking to Laura, and you said it yourself; you were not ready to see Steve," David responded.Jason looked at Tim, raised his left brow in question, and Tim nodded in response."What? Are you asking him if I'm telling the truth?" David asked, amazed.Jason smiled and replied, "Just checking David; no insult meant."Tim chuckled and stopped instantly as David turned and muttered, "That's not funny, Tim; maybe I chose the wrong side."Jason smiled as he turned and started walking. "We both know you chose the best side, David; don't complain about that."Up ahead, there were just a few people who were standing close to the table where Steve was having an audience with those who wanted to speak with him."It seems half of New York just came to enjoy the party," David muttered."It seems so, which makes it all

    "Where have you been?" Tobias asked Shawn after finding him a few minutes later."I was getting some important things straightened out with a friend," Shawn replied."Oh, who is this friend, if I may ask?" Tobias asked."Nothing for you to worry about; I have it under control," Shawn replied, adding, "Have you seen Jason around?"Tobias shook his head, knowing there was no point in arguing with him."Yes, I did; say him over there earlier," Tobias replied, pointing in the direction of Steve's table."Oh, I see. I hope Steve does not do anything stupid," Shaw muttered to himself."You guys must not be enjoying the party; why do you look so down?" Lily White spoke from behind them.Lily had decided to attend the event at the last minute, just for appearances sake."Oh, uhm, aunt Lily, I didn't know you were going to be here," Tobias replied as he turned."Of course, I should be here; Laura has pulled off a huge one for the corporation, so it's only appropriate that I show up for the eve

    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

    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
