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,"

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

"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

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

"I'll get that," Teressa said, and she hurried over to the phone to pick it up.After listening for a few minutes, she replied, "Okay, please send it up.""What is being sent up?" 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? I didn't order anything," Laura said, looking clueless."I guess we will see it when it gets here," Teressa replied."I guess so," Laura muttered, turning to the package she was trying to unveil.When she opened it, a ticket lay inside, and it was for a movie premiere."What is that, mom?" Lisa asked, looking into the package."Uhm, it's for a movie," Laura explained, still trying to understand who could have sent her the ticket."Yeah!" Lisa said, jumping up in excitement."You look happier than I am about this ticket," Laura said drily, raising a brow as she stared at her children.Lisa grinned while Liam raised his hand and shoulders in shrug as he said, "Our wish came
