I had an early meeting with Barnes Group International toady. They reserved my services for all of their old computers. They apparently intended to refurbish the computers and instal latest software before donating them to charity. As a result, I'll be quite busy today and tomorrow. I'll have to contact Mrs. Barnes to have her stay with Xander. I'll go fetch him, perhaps tomorrow. I wouldn't want to go up and down after a long day. I wish Alex and Chloe were here. They want to Dubai to spend their anniversary. It's been more than a month. So Mrs. Barnes is literally a lifesaver for me right now. I'm going to acquire a car when I finish the assignment with Barnes Group International. Xander and I need a car. I couldn't afford a car before, but now that I have this job, I know I can. I took out my phone and dialed Mrs. Barnes' number. She picked up the phone after it rung for a few minutes.
"Hello child, i was about to call you. I intended to despatch my driver to pick up the young man. Is he prepared?"
"Almost, I needed a favor. I'm sorry, but I didn't have someone to ask since all of my friends are out of the country. I have a task with Barnes Group International that I need to complete by tomorrow. Do you mind is he swings over for a sleepover? I'll pick him up the next day."
"Barnes Group International, what are you doing there?"
"Oh, I service devices and install software on the side, plus I operate a little photographic business on a weekly basis. They requested me to repair their old devices, they want to donate them to charity, therefore I won't be able to complete everything today."
"It's all right, child. I'll have Lucas, my driver, come fetch him. Please provide me your address."
"That's fine." I gave her my address, and Xander was hauled up an hour later. I called an Uber to Barnes Enterprise.
Today is a rather leisurely Saturday. I contacted Sandra and asked her to accompany me to grandma's house, she consented. Sandra dislikes my grandmother. I'm aware of this, and I know she'll go because I asked. I simply want her to know how wonderful my grandmother is. I know she's lioness, but she's incredible. People are afraid of her, yet all she does is put on a frightening expression. She is the most lovely grandmother I've ever met, and I'd want to spend the day with her. I love Sandra, but I know she's with me for money. I don't care, all women seek money. I told her we should meet at my grandmother's house since Sandra's house was a little far away, so I got in my car and drove to my grandmother's house. Her servants were busy watering the garden when I arrived, parked my car, and went inside. My grandmother was in the living room, so I rushed directly there, and that's when I saw him, the kid. How could someone look so much like me? I raced to the kid before even greeting my grandmother.
"Can you tell me your name?" The boy looked at me confused too, as I was.
"Xander Xavier Parker." He provided his complete name.
"Do you mind if I call you Xavier?"
"I like Xavier more, but when I use that name, my mum always cries, but it's between you and I, right."
"Right, high five." I dislike children. They irritate me, but this boy is an exception. He's adorable. Sandra came in as I was playing with Xavier, looking at him as if she had seen a ghost.
"Whose child is this, and why does he resemble you, Javier."
"I'm not sure where grandma got him, but he's adorable." Sandra was clearly concerned, but grandma just ignored us and left, taking Xavier with her. I'm not sure why, but everyone was treating the kid like he was a Barnes. He was well-liked by the workers. Expect for Sandra, everyone wanted to play with him. I saw confusion mingled with hatred in her eyes. I kissed her cheeks.
"How was your trip here?"
"Not bad, Javier. Do you have a son?"
"I wish he was mine, but I have no idea whose kid he is."
"I don't like him." I was enraged by her remark.
"You despise a kid who hasn't done anything wrong to you.?" Are you out of your mind?"
"What if he's your son?"
"Does it bother you that he may be my son?" Sandra, are you that evil?"
"No, I'm just starting the facts." I can't believe this women's audacity.
"Listen, we came here to spend time with my grandma, and if you don't feel comfortable with her and this boy, you're free to go." Get that."
