In the board room, files are scattered across the floor, the people in the board room have cold sweat dripping from their faces.
"You all were given a whole month to come up with a good strategy for project *LAWE*," He said sternly with a cold gaze.
"Mr. Harris, we have been putting our all in project LAWE, but you have already turned down five proposals making this one the sixth" A girl who seemed to be the head of the project says nervously almost in tears.
"Yes, I have turned down your proposal, six times and I hope for your sake you get the point"
"Does this mean Mr. Harris is giving us another chance?" The girl asks nervously but Nathaniel didn't reply then she says "Thank you, Mr. Harris, we will do our very best this time"
"Your best is not enough, I want results and I want it in four days, if not, feel free to gather your teammates and collect your salaries from the HR department," he says and stands up to leave
"Yes, sir" the subordinates nodded profusely.
When he departs from the company's building he heads to his parent's place.

At the Hospital.
Theresa is seated in her office, tending to a patient
"Apart from the spots, did you feel anything else out of the ordinary?" She asks a woman who is seated in front of her table.
"Nothing really, Doc" the woman replies
"Then take this," she says giving the woman a paper containing the drugs she has prescribed for her. "Spots are normal, especially during the first trimester, you and your fetus are okay, just follow my prescriptions and take care of yourself and everything will be fine, but if you ever notice spots and pain in your belly or any unusual uneasiness get to the nearest hospital or health center it could be early signs of miscarriage." She said with a serious but warm smile.
"Okay, thanks doc, I'll do exactly as you say, I should take my leave now," the woman says with gratitude and leaves, not long after, the door to her office opens up again, and her three colleagues walk in with a bouquet of irises and a few boxes of pastries.
"Welcome back" they chorused and Theresa smiled
"Theresa you know, though I could not come to see you abroad because of the busy schedule I prayed fervently for your quick recovery," A female doctor says to Theresa
"Busy? With what? work, or your atrocities?" Another woman snorts
"You..."
"Ehh, both of you stop, we came here to comfort Theresa not watch you taunt each other" a male doctor said
"Don't tell me that, Ivan, tell it to Whitney" the first lady retorts
"Why should he tell me, you are the sinful one. You said you prayed, who knows if it's because of your prayers that Theresa had a hard time recovering. God doesn't answer prayers from sinners you know" Whitney says sarcastically to the other woman
"You, I go to church every Sunday, what about you?"
"Yes, you go to church every Sunday but it's not because you want to, it's because it's a necessity with all the atrocities you commit, you need to go to God to hide and seek protection," Whitney says
"Ok, ok, Winnie, Minnie, stop it you two," Ivan says
"Don't call us that!!" The girls chorused
"Theresa, welcome back I missed you so much" Minnie goes on to hug Theresa and she hugs her back.
"I miss you too but your way of comforting is not very comforting," Theresa says
"Oh, sorry, it's just some people's bitterness may rub off on you, if you stay with them too long," she says sparing a glance at Whitney
"Don't mind her, Theresa, she doesn't know how to cherish friendship, here I brought you, your favorite chocolates" Whitney hands her a parcel.
"I don't know how to cherish friendship? Hah!! Theresa you know I don't have a shift until later in the evening but I switched with Doctor Larry to be able to be here, but don't think much about it, have some cookies" Minnie says
"Thanks," Theresa says receiving the gifts
"I have to go now," Minnie says checking her watch "But we'll catch up this Saturday okay"
"Yes, this Saturday, I will be going too," Winnie says rushing behind Minnie. The two girls meet at the door but no one lets another pass, they struggle to pass by squeezing themselves through the door.
Seeing the childish act Ivan and Theresa couldn't help their laughter
"Ivan, what happened to them?" Theresa asks
"Well, Minnie hooked up with a new guy but didn't tell Winnie, so a few days ago, Minnie ditched Winnie and went out with the guy, and now Winnie is mad, while Minnie thinks she's just jealous"
"So it's a matter of dates before mates, huh?" She asks
"Yup,"
"But wait, what happened to Antonio? Were they not supposed to be married? And according to Minnie's family planning, she should be planning the second baby" Theresa says sarcastically
"Hahaha, I was getting sick of hearing her talk about Antonio, Antonio this, Antonio that it was frustrating. But then the wedding got postponed and after a month, canceled and then I knew what hell could be like. She became so dramatic, you know your friend right?"
"I can imagine"
"And now she's at it again, she's already looking at wedding magazines and she has not been with the guy for up to two months."
"Let me guess, you tried talking to her and she said *He's the one, I am sure of it this time*" Theresa taunts
"Exactly"
Ivan and Theresa talked about their friends and chatted about her time in the hospital.

HARRIS MANSION
"Martin is everything prepared for dinner?" A woman called out to the Butler
"Yes, ma'am" The Butler called Martin answers
"Ok, where is George?"
"Mr. Harris is in the study"
The woman went up the stairs to the study to go see her husband,
"George, your son is coming back home after a long time, please don't fight with him"
"I am not the one who starts the trouble, he doesn't listen to me, I'm his father"
"Just go with anything he says, don't argue, for me please." The woman says with a pleading look.
"I will do my best".
**************
"Welcome, Mr. Harris" a group of servants lined up at the door to receive him greeted.
Nathaniel passed by them and went into the house, "Martin, where is mom" he asks the Butler
"Mr. and Mrs. Harris are in the study. They will be out in a while."
" Ok," Nathaniel says and strolls to the sofa and sits down
"Welcome Miss Harris and Mr. Wilson." The servants greet again
"Oh, silly, it's Mrs. Wilson now" a sharp feminine voice spoke
Nathaniel heard the voice and a ghost of a smile made its way to his lips before disappearing. "At least, she can change her name," he thinks.
"Brother!!!" A beautiful and cute blonde screams and rushed towards Nathaniel, wrapping her arms around him,
"Be careful" her husband Owen Wilson cautions
"But I missed my brother, so much." She defends her actions
"Owen is right, be careful, you are a grown-up now but you still behave like a kid," Nathaniel says stroking her hair
The girl pouts, her eyes looking innocent. She has similar features with Nathaniel, from their curly blonde hair to their grey eyes
*********
*knock knock*
"Come in," Luisa Harris says and a maid walks in.
"Sir, ma'am, Mr. Harris, Mr. Wilson, and Mrs. Wilson have arrived"
"Is that so, we'll be out in a moment" Luisa says and the maid goes out, then she turns to her husband "Behave yourself" and both of them went out
