Nathan had to finish up his Saturday meeting on time as he was looking forward to dinner with his sister, he was appreciative when the meeting finally came to an end... then he heard his phone ring.
Charlie. Hi Nate, if you're less busy, can you kindly stop by the office, I need the quotation on the investment meeting.'
Nathan. Feeling frustrated 'come on Charlie, cant it wait? I have another prior engagement.'
Charlie. Desperately... 'we both know this can't wait... I need to work on it unfailingly this weekend, please drop by, I promise I just need the quotation and that's it.'
Nathan. Hesitated... 'ok, I'll be over in 15 minutes.'
On his way to the office, Nathan called Chloe to change plans...
Nathan. Distressed... 'I'm so sorry Chloe but there's been a little change of plans as I have unfinished business in the office, to save time, can you kindly come by the office? I'll meet you at the entrance.'
Chloe. 'Sure, no problem bro...'
Chloe thought about asking Nathan if he had any special woman in his life as more than 60% of her friends were asking her to play match maker so they can shoot their shot. She was going to ask him at dinner today but didn't know how he was going to take it so she decided to just stick to asking and staying cool without letting him know her plan.
Nathan successfully gave Charlie what he asked for.
Nathan. 'Am I free to go now?'
Charlie. Relived 'sure, thanks for coming as soon as you could.'
Nathan. Hesitated as Charlie didn't bulge from where he was standing. 'Aren't you leaving?'
Charlie. 'Not yet, I'm waiting for another colleague, she should be here soon.'
Nathan. Blinked... 'ok, Chloe should be here any moment from now.' Proceeded to leave.
Charlie. Called him back... 'you know Nate, it's been a while we hung out.'
Nathan. Smiling... 'yes Charlie, we should soon.' Smiling widely, he strolled out of the office.'
Getting to the front entrance/exit, he saw a little boy that caught his eyes. Concerned, he bent down to talk with him.
Nathan. Smiling 'hello my name is Nathan, Where's your mummy or daddy.'
Zane remembered his mama telling him not to talk with or follow strangers anywhere so he just kept staring at Nathan. Nathan was somewhat concerned as he was thinking its odd that this little boy couldn't talk yet. He was about saying something to the doorman when he saw Chloe running towards him. Excited, he walked towards her and embraced her, after the embrace and pleasantries, he turned but didn't see the little boy anymore, looking around, he caught a glimpse of Audrey holding the little boy and walking as fast as she could.
On their way to a restaurant close by and even through out dinner, Nathan kept wondering what Audrey's connection was with the little child. He recollected seeing him with Sam and thinking he was her child but Sam is long gone back home. Reality strucked; could he be Audrey's child? From when she ditched him, his ego got really bruised... he couldn't focus on anything else throughout dinner than he had to find out the truth, even when Chloe kept rambling on and on about her thoughts on his dating life, he just felt the need to get closure...
