Senior Kingston walked into the office building, Mr Ben followed him.
"Is he up there?" He questioned Ben, while stepping into the elevator.
"No, Mr Kingston"
Sr Kingston checked his watch,
"Where is he?"
"He is off to Europe for his friend's wedding"
Sr Kingston sat in the couch in Henry's office.
"Good, he has finally decided to go on a vacation, alright ask his secretary to bring the minutes file of the last two executive meetings"
"Sir, she has accompanied Kingston Junior on this trip" Ben replied him.
"Who?"
"Ms Juliet Rozana"
Sr Kingston raised his eyebrows and he recalled (refer chapter 45) Henry's words when he asked him to go on a vacation with his business partner, Clara Wilson, he declared, "I wouldn't take any woman on vacation, unless she is My Girl"
Ben said, "Sir, I can see him smile a lot these days and started being happy after all these years"
Sr Kingston nodded and left with a faint smile.***
A week later
Julie was working in her cabin when she received a call from Mrs. Eliza Ross(her ex boss wife).
"Hello, Mrs Ross, how is Lucas doing?"
Julie asked anxiously.
"Hello Julie he is fabulous, don't you worry, dear"
"Oh!" Julie sighed relaxedly.
"I was planning to visit Lucas this weekend"
"Seriously? Then my job is already done"Eliza exclaimed.
"What's the matter, Mrs Ross?"
"There is a celebration in Lucas school this Saturday, he wanted to invite you, but I said not to disturb you as you might be busy at work. Now that you have planned to come, let's surprise him in the school"
"Oh sure I would love to see his surprised happy face, by the way what's the celebration is about? "Julie asked.
"It's.. Mother's Day celebration" Eliza's voice was feeble.
"I'll be there" with that she disconnected the call. That has made her emotional. She was lost in thoughts when Harry walked out of the elevator and came to her cabin. She did not notice him.
"What's disturbing the beautiful secretary of Mr Kingston?" he teased.
She smiled,
"I had been invited for Mother's Day celebration in Lucas' school by Mrs. Ross"
"Is that making you emotional or you don't want to go?" He was doubtful at his second statement.
"I would love to go, but I don't know how would Lucas react?"
"While he added you in his family picture, I guess he would be happy in seeing you at the celebration"
"If you say so "Julie was convinced a bit.Saturday morning
The event has started in Lucas school. He was nervously looking at the door. Every kid was called out to walk along with their mother to their respective seats. Lucas' name was skipped as Eliza Ross has texted his teacher about the surprise. At last, when it was Lucas' turn, he stood up with heavy heart, he looked at the door one last time. He saw someone standing with a bunch of balloons covering their face. His curiosity grown high, while Julie peeped out and shown her face, Lucas came running to her screaming her name. Julie gave the balloons to Eliza and rushed to pick him up in her arms. Both of them could not control their happy tears, she spinned him around and everyone in the room had a smile seeing their warm exchange. Henry and Eliza were watching them proudly. Smile never left Lucas' lips until the very end. He had so much to say to Julie.
Henry asked Mrs. Ross that, he would like to take Lucas with them for lunch. She happily agreed since both Lucas and Julie need to catch up a lot and looking at their happy faces she can never say no.
Lucas was very polite and his manners had amazed Henry.
"Where did you learn to behave and eat with so much grace and etiquette for your age?"
"From Julie!" He looked at her.
"I just followed few trainers for the etiquette lesson to guide him. Because he was a clean slate then so I realised my responsibility as it would take him a long way to become a responsible human being"
"You did a great job" Henry gave her a thumbs up.After lunch, they took him to the 4K planetarium. It's a full dome sky theatre, which gave a real time cosmic exploration. Lucas was literally starstruck and his face had a wow expression when they came out of the theatre. It was a great learning moment and answered his young and curious mind of how space would look with the planets on its orbits, the satellites and millions of stars in the galaxy, it was literally out of the world experience.
