***Monday***

The boys were dropped off at school and after a brief conversation with Michael, William was off to work. He had a pretty slow day at the office and was able to go pick Mathew up on time.

Mi: Can you please take Jake with you because I was just informed of an important meeting now and there is no way that I can get out of it.

W: Sure, you've helped me a ton already.

Mi: But you still owe me?

W: Definitely.

Mi: Thanks, I need to go now.

W: Okay, see you later, let's go Matty.

M: Bye teacher, see you later.

Mi: Bye Mathew and thank you again William.

W: You've done it for me too, now go before you're late.

Mi: See you guys later.

W: Let's go get your brother and Jake.

Mi: Can we go get ice-cream afterwards?

W: Nope, we're going to my office... (He was cut off)

Mi: Nooo, daddy.

W: Let me finish, we're going to my office to pick up some of my files and then we're going out for lunch.

M: And then ice-cream?

W: Maybe, no come. (He said lowering his hands to pick Mathew up)

M: I can walk by myself daddy.

W: Okay, big man.

...

W: Come on boys, let's go.

J: Where's my daddy, Uncle William?

W: He had an important meeting that he could not miss so you're going home with us and he is going to pick you up there later.

J: Okay.

M: But daddy said no ice-cream. (He said sadly)

C: Why?

W: Because you are going to eat lunch.

C: But... (He was cut off)

W: No buts come one.

William went to his office first and the boys sat outside harassing his assistant with questions about her job.

W: Boys stop harassing Lydia.

C: We're not harassing her daddy.

J: Yeah, we're just talking to her.

W: Lydia? (He smiled)

L: It's okay, they're not bothering me.

W: Okay, say goodbye so that we can leave.

J: Bye Miss Lydia.

C: Bye Miss Lydia.

M: Bye bye Miss Lydia. (He said giving her a hug)

L: Goodbye boys, enjoy your afternoon and you too sir.

W: Goodbye Lydia, enjoy your day and remember... (He was cut off)

L: I know call if something important happens.

W: Thanks. (He smiled walking away from the boys)

Lydia watched as the group got into the elevator before going back to her own work.

~~~At William's House~~~

They went over to McDonalds and bought lunch for themselves before going home. They sat at the table and had lunch.
