Their lips immediately parted and they turned around in shock and recognized the person who entered.
They saw the sadness in Karen's eyes, while her mouth was hanging open and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"W-what is the meaning of this...

We have an important meeting today with my father and Karen's father.
and speaking of Karen.
Since she left the Philippines, I haven't seen her again in the years that have passed.
Karen never shows up here again. I know that she was very hurt for cheating on her.
So maybe Karen chose to stay away to forget what happened and the past.
I can't blame her because I chose Shanelle over her before.
Her father is always the one who attends when we have important meetings about business and projects.
Even though Karen and I didn't get along, our company's relationship continues because of money.
"Tim are you listening?"
My thoughts was interrupted by my father calling my name.
"I apologize dad, I was just thinking about something for a moment."
My dad sighed.
"Until now you still haven't changed, can you focus on the meeting first?"
His father said.
"I hope you will cooperate because this is a very important event that we will hold." He added.
I know what we're going to talk about now.
"We will make a big blast celebration for the success of our company as well."
His dad suggestions.
"Everyone should be right there at the party, besides it's mandatory." Mr. Gonzales said which is Karen's father.
My father looked at me.
"You can bring your daughter Tim, your mom wants to see Sophie."
I sighed.
I can't refuse because it's part of our business.
"So Mr. Gonzales, how is your daughter?"
My dad referring to Karen.
Suddenly I looked at Karen's father who was now serious.
"Well she's good while staying in states. I'm not sure if she'll be able to go to the party but I'll make it happen Mr. Dynaire."
Karen's father looked at me so I looked away.
"I know you haven't totally made up with my daughter Tim, but I hope you can be friends despite what happened to both of you."
I couldn't answer.
"So where are we going to held the big event?"
Karen's father thought before looking at me.
"How about you Tim. Do you have any places to recommend?"
I thought for a moment.
"How about in my house? My house has been quiet for a long time, it looks like it's haunted."
I said jokingly.
"Good, I saw your house with Karen once. I mean before, I'm sorry. It was built well, it's wide and has a big pool. And I think all the guests will fit in there, right?"
My father nodded at the thoughts of Mr. Gonzales.
"Okay that's final! I think this meeting is over. I'll send the staff and coordinators to prepare at your house tomorrow Tim."
The next day is the event they are talking about.
After the meeting, the two left immediately.
I also returned to my office and it's already one pm in the afternoon.
I looked at Shanelle's photo.
"I hope you will be with me babe in all my challenges in life."
I couldn't stop crying because I miss her so much.
When it was past five o'clock I took Sophie from her school. This is really my daily routine in life.
I decided to take her to the mall to buy something to wear to the event.
"What color do you want your gown to be Sophie?"
I asked her
But I noticed that she wasn't in the mood and she was quiet just now.
"Are you still upset on me?"
Sophie didn't answer me.
I can't blame my daughter either because she also has the right to know where her mommy is.
"Hey talk to me please."
I begged with her but she is still speechless.
Still silent by my side while staring at the gowns.
"Sophie do you want your daddy to be sad?"
She turned on me.
"Don't talk to me daddy."
She's lil bit mad.
I sighed.
"Hey don't you act like that."
I scolded her.
"Don't talk to me unless you tell me where's my mom."
I stunned at what she said.
Is she going to trap me?
But I also don't want her to feel that I'm a bad for her.
"Fine, I will tell you but first you need to tell me what color of gown do you like, okay?"
She smiled.
"I want the blue one daddy. So where's my mom?"
She immediately answered me.
I don't know what to answer.
Sophie is smart girl.
"Your mom she's--" I don't know what to add to my words.
"What daddy? where is she?"
I see the sadness in her eyes.
I'm really surprised because she talked like a lady.
Sophie really wants to know.
Honestly I've never showed her the pictures of her mommy.
I hide it from her for a long time.
"She will go attend the event baby."
Sophie gasped at my answer.
She couldn't believe it and I didn't know who I was referring about and why I said that.
