I do not like seeing "please update" comments. Like I actually do not like it. Please comment something meaningful. I understand that you mean it in a "I like your story please update" type of manner but just commenting "please update" sounds so dismissive and demanding. And I don't like either of those. So please if you're going to comment PLEASE UPDATE it will just make me not want to update. And I like updating.

To those who leave sweet comments and messages and give interesting predictions for the future of the boom make me super happy. I'm thankful to all of you!

So I really hope I DO NOT see a PLEASE UPDATE comment. How about something nice and them please update?




Ella POV

"Xavier, honey what's wrong?" I asked him as I took him in my lap and Antoine drove to my company.

"Go home." He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest.

Just like his dad. Same stubbornness. Same anger.

"You know you look just like your dad right now." I told him.

"I look like you. You daddy." He said.

"Oh sweetie." I caressed his brown hair. "I know you haven't seen your dad for a long time but don't you want to play with him now?"

"No." He said after I finished.

"Xavier. That's not very nice." I explained. I hugged him closer and kissed his head. "Promise me you'll be nice to him."

"Mommy." He whined.

"Xavie." I whined back.

"Okay." He said.

"Good. Now mommy has to do some work and it will take a couple of hours. Do you want something to eat?"

"No." He said in a small voice.

"Feeling tired?" I asked.

"Hmm." He mumbled.

I rubbed his back soothingly.

"Just close your eyes." I said and started humming a lullaby.


We finally got to the company and before I did anything I went upstairs to the office they had for my mother when she visited.

I laid Xavier on the couch and covered him with his blankie.

"Do you mind just looking out for him? I'm going to be in the conference room." I asked Antoine.

He nodded. "Wow we have a nod!"

I shut the door softly and came face to face with the manager in charge of this location.

"Miss. Westworth. I'm-"

"Richard Manning. Manager. I know who you are. But that is besides the point." I gave him a stern look. "I want you bring me the annual reports and call a meeting. I want all the departments heads there." I said as I started walking to the conference room.

"Well?" I stopped. "Get to it. Come on, we don't have all day."

He frantically nodded and rushed away.

I sighed and entered the conference room. I went and sat at the head of the table and crossed my leg over my knee.

The door opened and I looked up to see Tanya walk in. She looked at me and smiled.

I stood up and smiled.
