As Alexander prepared himself to scold his new secretary who he knew by the name Sara, before he looked up a familiar face of which he noticed it was, Adeline who dropped the Pizza after looking up seeing the face she never wanted to see ever again especially now. "OH MY GOD ..." before Sara finished her sentence noticing that her boss's food was on the floor and in front of him and the only aunt she expected to at least be there when she gets fired and start crying, was already out not leaving even a shadow.

Adeline reached outside the building panting while tears started running down her face while her mind confused and thinking that her life was going to become a mess after all the years she started to mend herself and all the walls she built covering her heart were all crushed and turned to ashes. She took her bike and rode away escaping the place she never expected to be.

Alexander's anger face turned bright as the morning light. "Sir, I'm sorry, I'll go find you........" Sara was interrupted by a question. "Who was that?" Alexander asked, making Sara stutter from answering that question. "Uhm that was ... uhm was the one bringing your lunch and it went badly I don't know what happened, I'm sorry Sir". "What place is she working at" she was questioned again. Trying not to get her aunt and mother sued for bad service to customers. "I didn't catch the name of their brand, Sir" she answered shaking. "Then find it, I need it before this day ends". Now Sara was trapped by her own lies she didn't know what she was going to do before the day ends.

Adeline ran inside open the door and closed it quickly letting the tears rain down her face clutching the door knob, getting noticed by Helen, "what is wrong with you?" Helen asked with a concerned face. "What am I going to do, Helen?" Adeline asked making Helen more confused. "What is wrong with asking me what you are going to do" Helen said taking Adeline to the sitting room making her sit down and calm down. "I saw him today" Adeline after rubbing her tears off. "Where did you see him?" Helen knew who she was referring to so she just asked directly. "He is Sara's knew boss. I went to deliver the Pizza to their office"

It was time for Sara to leave for lunch and the time to pick Nathan from school so to listen his stories about his first day of school. Before she got out of the office, "Sara, where are you heading to" Sara stopped. "To lunch sir" she answered. "I'll join you" Alex said. In order to push him away "but I'm going to pick up my cousin first then have the lunch" but that was useless. "Let's go"

"Sara, you came. Mommy said she'll come" Nathan smiled and hugged Sara then noticing the man standing next to Sara. "Who is this" Nathan asked. "Oh! He is my new boss and my friend do you want to meet my new friend" Sara answered Nathan. "Hi, Sara's friend, my sister made new friends too, today I became friends with Tina, Ben and Seth" Nathan started telling his unending stories "you know that, Ben calls himself Ben10 he got the watch like him as his birthday present" now instead of Sara hearing the stories Alex got all the stories instead. Sara chooses another place for lunch instead of the Pizza which they had every day at her mother's place.

They reached the restaurant which was unfamiliar to Nathan which made him ask "Sara this is not mommy's place. Aren't we having our pizza today" and that it was that it took to make Alex suspicious, to take the matter on his own. "What is your name, Sister Sara's friend" Nathan asked as Sara helped him sit. "Alex and you handsome" Alex said "Nathan" he answered making him even more suspicious since Adeline wanted to name their kid Nathan as well. "You know my mom said that my dad is handsome just like me" he started blabbering again. "Why doesn't this handsome guy eat first then talk" Alex said.

Sara took Nathan at home while Alex headed to work and call his man to investigate and find Adeline since he noticed that she could be nearby. And this time he promised himself he is going to find her and not let her go ever again.

"Mommy I had new friends today" that was the first sentence that Nathan came up with after seeing his mother who smiled and all the sorrows went away after seeing Nathan. "Now before telling me about your friends give your mommy a hug and a kiss" Adeline said taking Nathan to her arms. "Then come to Aunt Helen here she feels so lonely and jealous that Baby Nathan went to school and had other friends" Helen said faked being hurt. "But Aunt Helen is the best" Nathan ran towards Helen and hugged her too.

It was night already and Alex got the information about Adeline guessing his information was right. He just couldn't believe the part that he had a son who he was supposed to confirm about that and he had to confirm it right now. And he also couldn't believe that his secretary just lied to him earlier few seconds before she met him. He pulled the gear of his sport car and straight to get answers from the information he was given by his man.

It was late and Adeline was the only one left watching late night shows since it was the only fun left for her. She heard the doorbell, she wondered who that could be at that hour, and never did they have a guest that late at night. She decided to wait for another ring of the bell. As expected the bell rung again. She switched off the lights and took the frying pan preparing herself for the worst. She opened the door and made the pan fly away while her hands were grasped in reflex getting face to face with him and indeed it was the worst.
