" Nicholas!" Derrick said as he shook hands with him
" Derrick" Nicholas said as they shook hands.
" Happy birthday" Julia said to Derrick.
" Thank you" Derrick said.
" Welcome to our home" Derrick said as he held Rachael who had already come beside him in her arms
" Your house is beautiful" Julia said.
" I'll be taking her now. You boys go talk" Rachael said linking hands with Julia as if they were old time friends.
" I don't think I would be able to.." Julia made to explain as she had come here today because of a meeting she was supposed to attend.
" It's okay. You can go with her. The meeting does not start until later" Nicholas said as if reading her thoughts.
" What meeting?" Rachael asked looking utterly confused.
" Are you having a meeting on your own birthday party" Rachael asked Derrick as she turned to face him.
