So Mel was currently at her Parent's mansion because today was her Mother's birthday. They decided to have a small get-together with family and close friends only.
"Happy birthday, Mommy," Mel greeted as soon as she entered her parents' room.

THREE MONTHS AND SOME WEEKS LATER"Maybe I should just cancel the whole thing," Lawrence said. The thought of not seeing Maddie and Luis for a few days was making him go crazy."You should go, honey. We will be fine." Madiana assured as she placed Luis on her chest.

He was representing his father's company since he was a partner there.When his father informed him about the trip, he was reluctant to go, telling his father to go himself or appoint someone else to represent the company.His father, Liam, chuckled at his reply because he knew his son was reluctant to go because he didn't want to leave Madiana and Luis behind.But he had no choice because this deal was a very important one and he only trusts his son to make the best of it.

She liked Lawrence a lot and she would do all that it took to make him happy and Luis also.Madiana got up from her bed and proceeded to the bathroom to do her morning rituals.

She hoped Alice, Ethan's Secretary would grab a coffee for her today like always.Madiana got out of the eleva

I will be back as soon as I can.""No problem." She replied and before she could say anything else, they were both interrupted by the door opening and someone entering.It was Ethan. He was holding a gift bag."Hi, buddy." He greeted Lawrence as he took a seat beside him."And here's for the birthday girl," Ethan placed the gift bag on the table and pushed it towards Madiana."It's your birthday?" Lawrence asked, shocked.She nodded."Why didn't you tell me?" He asked slightly upset, which made Maddie nervous."Calm down dude. Do you expect her to start announcing it to everybody?"

"That was emotional. I'm so happy for you guys." Madiana told her Boss with a sad smile on her face.She had accompanied him to the board meeting at his father's company. Lawrence was a partner there so his presence was required and he took Maddie along.After their meeting in the conference room, Liam, Lawrence's father had invited Lawrence into his office while Maddie waited for him outside the office.Both father and son resolved their differences. Not like they actually fought, but Lawrence was very close to every member of his family. They all felt it during the past few days when he distanced himself from them.Lawrence explained the whole situation to his father. Liam comforted his son and gave him the advice he needed and also made it known that he was looking forward to meeting his grandson.And Lawrence promised that he and Luis would be there at the next family dinner.Madiana did not mean to eavesdrop.

Lawrence was able to get so much work done while Madiana watched Luis and did her work at the same time. He admired her for being an expert in multitasking.When lunchtime came, she still insisted on being with Luis. Saying the little boy was keeping her company. So Alice, Ethan's secretary, brought Lunch to Maddie in her office and they spent lunch together with the two ladies gushing over baby Luis...........................Lawrence sighed as he plopped down on the couch in his living room. He had just put Luis to bed. Since Luis was now in the picture and he cared so much for his son, he had to vacate work early, unlike those days where he would stay in his office and work till almost midnight.Being a single parent was really hard. Especially when he never saw it coming and had no time to prepare.Lawrence remembered Ava today when he was getting Luis ready for bed. He wondered what it would have been like if Luis had his mom around.L

Madiana groaned as she heard the sound of her alarm. She reluctantly sat up and quickly said her morning prayers, committing the day to God's hands. After that, she stood up from her bed and arranged it before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day.She eventually decided to wear a black dress and moved to the mirror side to apply her makeup.She smiled at herself in the mirror as she was satisfied with her look. She then walked towards her bedside, sat on the edge as she slipped on her heels.Maddie reached for her handbag, laptop bag and car keys and found her way to the exit.Madiana arrived at the office earlier than expected because there was less traffic on the road. She entered the office building then proceeded to the fifth floor. That was where her office was. Well, The Bosses and Secretaries office was located on the fifth floor of the building.Madiana entered her office and saw a cup of coffee on her table. She smiled at that.
