It was Friday, Audrey reluctantly got out of bed as she had a sleepless night; she had to bring back work from the office to try to meet up for the day, after doing what she could, she glanced at her Clock and it was already past 2:00am!!! Alarmed, she hurriedly dropped everything and tried to catch a little sleep before heading out to work but she kept rolling, turning and dreaming on uniting with her son... she dreamt of wrapping him in her arms, planting small kissed on his face. She was thrilled she completely lost sleep till she finally dozed off at around 05:35am so her alarm ringing at 6:30am felt like a big slap on her face!!!
Getting out of bed was a big struggle for Audrey she made a pot of coffee and drank from her mug while hurriedly preparing for work. She had to be out of her apartment at most by 8:15am staring the the mirror, she decided to use a little make up to conceal the tired look on her face... Audrey got to work 10mins late, she was scared of getting caught by Nathan as she was careful not to over step her boundaries...
Getting to her office, she decided to take the files she worked on to Nathan's office only to realise she forgot it on her coffee table in her apartment!!! Frantically, she immediately jumped up, trying to rush home to get the files...
Charlie. Surprised...'Hey beautiful, what's with the face? You look like someone that got caught doing a bad thing.'
Audrey. Impatiently... 'I'm sorry Charlie, I need to rush back home, I forgot an important file for Mr. Nathan's case, please, cover for me...' trying to rush out, Charlie stopped her in her tracks...
Charlie. Laughing 'slow down girl... calm down, Mr Stewart won't be available till next Tuesday, he had a case that took him out of town...' patting her shoulder 'just make sure you bring the file unfailingly on Monday and you'll be safe...'
Audrey. Furrowed her brow 'are you sure? I would have preferred to go get it now because...'
Charlie. Cutting in 'I am sure it can wait till Monday, you just have to act like you brought it work today when you see him on Tuesday...' he wondered why she was still looking at edge, he immediately continued 'I came here directly from Mr. William's office, he requested you join me on counselling for my team as you'd be less busy since Mr Nathan is out of town and heaven knows we need all the help we can get...'
Audrey nodded and reluctantly followed him, she silently thanked God for Nathan's trip and prayed she doesn't get caught so as not to be scolded...

Audrey stood at the waiting area of the airport, eagerly waiting to reunite with her son, looking up, she saw people walking out to the waiting area, she kept searching till she saw Samantha and her baby... she couldn't contain her joy; screaming she rushed to welcome her son into her bosom...
Nathan was distressed and angry, he didn't understand why airport authorities won't take care of aircraft matters before flight time. He has been waiting for his flight for close to 3hours now... deciding to stroll out for air, he kept thinking if his day was jinxed... from getting a call from his dad to represent him in Australia, to Audrey not available to get the file he asked her to submit then this delay? He angrily looked at his wrist watch then decided to walk back to his sit when he caught a beautiful blond boy from the corner of his eyes he couldn't see him clearly but the child reminded him of when he was younger... then he was interrupted with a scream looking forward, he saw a familiar woman hugging the child...
