Chapter 6: Secret Kids

"Kyle, what time is it? It's already nine in the evening. It's time to put your new tablet down," Samantha said right before entering the bathroom. 

She was sharing a room with her kids and they were both settled on the bed. Matilda gave both of them new tablets, a doll for Kenzie, and a sling bag for Kyle. 

Kenzie was already ready to sleep, but Kyle was still downloading apps on his tablet, or so his mother thought. Hearing his mother asked him to put the device down, he sighed and replied, "Okay, Mom. Can I ask you about Dad?"

"I'll give you ten minutes' extension on the tablet," Samantha quickly answered before escaping into the bathroom. 

Seeing their Mommy avoid the topic again, Kyle and Kenzie looked at each other. Kenzie chuckled, while Kyle shook his head. 

"Maybe Dad is a government spy!" Suggested Kenzie. 

"Or just someone with secret kids," said Kyle. 

"Hah! A rich daddy that needs to protect us from bad guys!" Concluded Kenzie. "That's why we are secret kids!"

"Whatever, Kenzie. The point is, Mommy is hiding something about Daddy," suggested Kyle. 

"Did you get what the woman said earlier? About you looking like their boss?" Kenzie asked. 

"Yes, I heard. That's why I have been on the tablet," said Kyle. "There are no pictures of him."

"But his name is Ethan Wright," added Kyle. 

Kyle's eyes tightened at the picture of the Wright Diamond Corporate Office. He said, "I wonder how far is this office building?"

"Are you planning on going there?" Kenzie asked, leaning forward to see her brother. "You can't ride a bus on your own!"

Kyle turned to the bedside table and saw his Mommy's documents from the Wright Diamond Corporation. A smirk became painted on his face and he answered, "I guess... We'll have to make it happen."

The next morning, Samantha was getting ready to bring the kids to their new school. They were lucky enough to decide on leaving since the school had just started two weeks ago. It was an easier transfer for Samantha and the twins. 

However, since Samantha did not have enough money to pay in advance the required deposit, she had been furnished in advance an employment certificate that would attest to her capacity to pay. She meant to show it to the school so they would have no qualms in accepting her children. However, that morning, the same employment certificate was missing from her folder. 

Flipping through her papers, Samantha was in a panic. It was nearly seven-thirty in the morning and school starts at nine! They were bound to be late! It was inevitable!

"Oh, my God! Why is this happening now?" Samantha ran her fingers through her hair, unsure of how the said paper was suddenly missing. 

There was only one way to get another, and that was to head over to the Wright Diamond Corporation. 

Riding in a taxi, Samantha had to bring her kids along. She hoped she could furnish the certificate in less than an hour, in that way her kids could still make it to their class. 

At eight-thirty sharp, she arrived at the lobby of the Wright Diamond Corporation. With the twins tailing her, she went straight to the reception and asked for John Garcia. 

"Do you have an appointment, Miss Davis?" One receptionist asked. 

"No, sadly I don't and I have been trying to reach Mr. Garcia, but he doesn't seem to be answering," Samantha explained her sudden arrival. "It's really urgent that I speak with him."

The two receptionists looked at each other, worried about whatever decision they would make. However, since the beautiful lady before them was so elegant looking and charming, they concluded she wasn't telling a lie. 

Moreover, Kenzie joined in to help and said to the receptionist, "Please! Please. My Mom needs a paper for us to go to school. Please help us."

"Okay, I'll call Mr. Garcia. Give me a moment," said one receptionist. 

From the twentieth floor of the Wright Diamond Corporation, John was going through his boss' schedule for that day. As his assistant, he needed to be in the office by seven in the morning. Ethan Wright often arrived at seven-thirty. 

His coffee had to be ready by the time he arrived, including the most important documents to be signed. 

When he received a call from the receptionist, he was stunned to learn it was Samantha Davis, the beautiful chef that his boss thought was married. 

"Hmmm." He said, "Let her up. It must be important."

It took only ten minutes for Samantha to reach the floor where the CEO's office was, and she easily found John's desk. To John's surprise, she was with her twins!

John was not fond of kids, but seeing the little girl was just so delightful. It was the same warm feeling he had with Samantha. 

As if Kenzie knew what was on John's mind, she walked straight to him and extended her hand. She said, "Hi, I'm Kenzie. I'm Mommy's little princess!" The little girl then flipped her hair and said, "The most beautiful five-year-old in the city."

"Four. She is turning five this December, but she is still four in the next two months or so," Samantha explained. She then grabbed her daughter and said to John, "I'm sorry. She is always... friendly."

"Don't be sorry at all! The little girl is adorable!" Exclaimed John. "She looks just like you!"

"Hello Kenzie, my name is John. You can call me, uncle John." The executive secretary happily shook Kenzie's hand. 

"Uncle John?" Kenzie turned to her mother and asked, "Does uncle John give us presents during Christmas too?"

Her words and excitement granted a laugh from John and the attention of the other secretaries that were cubicles away from him. 

"I'm so sorry about that," said Samantha. 

"And the guy behind you is?" John asked, trying to find the other twin who was holding his mother's skirt. 

"Um, this is Kyle - Kyle, buddy. Come out. Introduce yourself to Mr. Garcia," said Samantha while pulling Kyle by the hand and showing him to John. 

When Kyle stood in front of John, there was an obvious silence from the executive assistant. He leaned back, and he leaned forward again, his eyes widening. 

John did not know how many times he tilted his head from side to side at the sight of the familiar-looking boy. He said, "Damn! You look like my boss!"

"Is your boss a kid too?" Kyle gave a sarcastic answer, narrowing his eyes at the same time. His way of responding made John laugh even harder. 

"Damn! Even talks like him!" Remarked John. 

"Mr. Garcia, Um. Maybe it's just a coincidence that he looks like your boss - I mean, sometimes, it's just a perception," Samantha suggested before she got to the point. "Mr. Garcia, I'm here on a very important matter and I hope you can help me."

"Oh, okay," said John. He set aside the uncanny resemblance between the child and his boss, asking, "What can I help you with, Miss Davis?"

While Samantha was explaining her predicament to John, Kyle and Kenzie were walking around the office, finding the nameplate that belongs to Ethan Wright. 

They found themselves by the CEO office's door, gawking at the name. 

"Could this be our daddy?" Kenzie asked. 

"There is only one way to find out," said Kyle. "Let's go in."
