"Simon, get the car ready, we're leaving," Nathaniel said to Simon, then he went ahead to say goodbye to Klaus and Sarah
"Mr. Tate, the party was great I look forward to doing business with you," He said to Klaus and placed a kiss on Sarah's knuckles.
"Sir, we can go now, but, " Simon said nervously
"What's wrong," Nathaniel said with a look of disinterest
"There is a birthday party on the second floor," Simon said and paused for a bit to hear Nathaniel say "So?"
"Well, one of the guests, is your cousin Emma," He said in one breath
"Why didn't you tell me that earlier," Nathaniel asked irritated, the last thing he wanted to do now is to have a chat with his annoying cousin
"Well does she know, I'm here?" Nathaniel added
"I.. I.. guess" Simon stuttered
"You guess?!!" Nathaniel howled
"Well, I guess, because she had turned down the party but just this afternoon she twitted that she was going to attend the party to see someone important. I guess your aunt and uncle put her up to this" Simon said
"Do these people not have any shame whatsoever? I already turned down their proposal do they think sending their brainless daughter to me will help matters" Nathaniel thought out loud "Let's proceed, we should take another route. I don't want to have to deal with Emma now"
"Ok Sir " Simon nodded

"Hey, who do you think you are, embarrassing me in front of everyone" Emma yelled at Sarah whom she met on her way out, Theresa was still inside
"Well, you reap what you sow, and trust me, I held back, don't push me" Sarah retorted
"Do you know who I am??"
"Do you know who I am, do you?... you sound like a broken record" Sarah replied irritated by Emma's childish behavior
"You..., you..." Emma said raising her hand to hit Sarah but was caught by Theresa
Pushing her hand down Theresa said "Stop that Emma,"
Before Emma could talk back she caught a glimpse of Nathaniel and she rushed toward him. Putting on the face of the victim she complained to Nathaniel "Nati, see these two are ganging up on me" She said holding on to Nathaniel's arms
Seeing Nathaniel, Theresa spoke again "Are you her guardian"
"He's..." Emma wanted to speak but was hushed by Nathaniel
"I'm her cousin, Miss Theresa," Nathaniel said
"I know it's not in my place to question your upbringing but take care of your cousin and caution her. She's been trying to harm my little sister, I didn't do anything to her because I consider her the same age as my sister, but with the way she talks and treats people she might just get into serious trouble one day, if you'll excuse us we'll take our leave now" Theresa, fed up with the arrogant girl, pulled Sarah into her arms and walked away from there.
"Are you just gonna let them leave like that?" Emma grimaced
Not bothering to reply to her, Nathaniel left her with Simon and went on his way.

THE NEXT DAY
"Good morning dear sister," Sarah said when she woke up and spotted Theresa working on her computer
"Good morning, how was your night?" Theresa asked without taking off her eyes from what she was doing
"Great, all I could think about was my gift," Sarah said with a smiley face
"Yeah right," Theresa murmured.
Last night after leaving Jessica's party, the girls went up to their god parent's party, where Klaus and Sarah made up.
Klaus later took them back to their hotel, since his house was very far from the venue and it was late, and he gave both Sarah and Theresa rings, emerald green rings as a symbol of new beginnings in life for Theresa and his love for baby Sarah
Theresa got a dark green emerald ring, while Sarah got a rose gold emerald ring.
"We still have two days here, what do you want to do?" Theresa asked Sarah
"Hmmm, Bunny, Sarah, and I are going out today, wanna join us?" Sarah said as she lazily got out of bed
"Nah, I'll pass, I talked to Sarah yesterday. Joe and I have been thinking of putting up a clinic over here for a while now but we haven't had a chance to come to check out a good place, so today I thought of doing some more research and make a decision "
Joe and Theresa are childhood friends just like Leo, they both own the hospital Theresa works at. They had started a project of opening small clinics around the world to help less privileged citizens with affordable medical services
"Okay, I'm going to take a bath now Chris is picking me up at nine-thirty" Sarah said making her way to the bathroom
"Really?" Theresa looked up and smiled at her
"What's up with that look?"
"It's nine-fifteen already,"
"What??!!" Sarah said as she rushed to the bathroom
"Nine-sixteen" Theresa announced to tease her
Not long after Sarah went into the bathroom, the bell rang,
"Is that the breakfast I ordered?" Theresa thought as she got up to go open the door
"Who is it?" She asked
"Chris"
"Good morning Chris," Theresa said as she opened the door
"Good morning, I believe this is yours," Chris said pulling a cart with food
"Yes, thank you, breakfast, put it over here" Theresa directed him
"Where is Sarah?" Chris asked
"Well, you're as punctual as always, so she's going to be late duh" Theresa joked to get a chuckle from Chris
"Wanna have breakfast?" she asked him
"Sure, you know I'll never deny food"
They shared a laugh as they dished their meal
