"Indeed, the proposal is a good one... who exactly would I be working with?? cause I left something important for this." Liam said indicating that this meeting wasn't as important as staying with Adira and Theo. Thinking of them, he had a small smile on his lips.
"Sure.. it would be Amelia.. as you know may know, I am busy." Amelia's father responded with a laugh. "I don't think I know you are busy unless you are in me but nevertheless it's okay if it's Miss Amelia, as I know she is capable." Liam said, rising to his feet, he took strides towards the door.

Adira sat still in his house, after he left she felt as if he knew something that he wasn't telling her about. She was sure of it.
"Theo, do you like your uncle Liam??" she asked him seeing that the boy had gone back to sitting still. "Yes." he replied immediately.
"Who do you like more between your uncle and I ??" she asked while looking at him, checking his reaction.
Theo glanced up at her and with a smile he moved towards her. "Why would you ask such question??" Theo said to her.
"Just answer." "What if I don't want to??" he hmphed and walked back to his sit. "Such questions." he said a little low but enough for Adira to hear him.
Quietness returned.
After a while, Adira looked towards Theo again.
"Did mum tell you why you are scared if car horns??" she asked slowly since she knew that was a bad part of his memory.
"I'm not scared of car horns... it's just when a lot of cars are making that sound, I keep hearing it in my head even if they stop... so... mum said I was at the scene of your accident." He explained quietly while playing with his fingers, his gaze was directed at her.
"Hmmm... I see." The door opened, Liam casually walked in towards Theo. He glanced at Adira that was still in the same position for over hours now.
"Join me for breakfast??" He said and walked away carrying Theo in his arms. Looking at the two of them, the bulk man, Jaws, could see a resemblance.
Their hair color was the same, their Jaws line looked same too even though Liam's looked sharper and we'll.. chiseled.
They also had the same color of eyes.

She came to work late today and it was more frustrating since her eyes looked swollen a little, she felt so tired already and adding to it. Everyone kept looking at her at work today and she was confused why... though she knew her eyes were swollen but she had used make-up, minimizing it.
"And besides Ashlin didn't come today" Adira whispered to herself.
The day was hectic for her. She had left Theo in Liam's house that day, thinking of how she would go back, she picked up her phone and dialled Jenner's number.
"Hey Jenny! how is your day going??" Adira asked. "It's going fine though I am almost done with my script today... it's just we have been redoing a scene since that's cause your sister is out of it today. Infact she has always been out of it...." Jenner rambled on for minutes before Adira interrupted. As she knew that if she didn't do so she wasn't going to tell her the reason she called.
"Jen.. Jenny I get it 'she laughed' can you help me pick Theo from your brothers house??" She said her hand massaging her head.
"Sure but didn't you see the news??" Jenner said with uncertainty. "Which news??" Adira asked.... If they were not done with the fact that she was not Mr Birkin's daughter then that was their problem. Adira thought.
"Don't worry it's not about you instead it's about Theo??" Jenner corrected knowing that Adira must have been thinking of herself.
"Theo!!!!" Adira exclaimed, seeing the look everyone shot at her, she immediately apologized before reducing her voice. "Theo! what happened to him??" Adira asked.
"It's nothing too much... I think my brother took him to his company... so... the media got a photo of him and Theo.... Now it's a lot of media companies have posted it that he has a son." Jenner said.
"What??? I am going there now." She said and immediately hung up.
"Don't....." seeing that Adira hung up she had to keep quiet, what she didn't say was that Adira's picture was also on the blog... saying she is the CEO of Heroux Inc. mistress.
"Urgghh!!" she sighed
"I'm going home!!!!" Jenner called out and began walking out.
"We aren't done yet." Her manager said. "I know.. I just have an emergency. Bye" she said and walked away.
