Hindi na napigilan nila Apollo at Ice ang pagpasok ng Genesis sa aming system. Akala ko ay tuluyan na nila kaming maha-hack. Ngunit laking gulat ko nang makita ko ang pagmu mukha ni Grant Ward sa harap ng monitor.
"Hacking in to your system is a waste of my time, huh. So damn hard." He sighed. "Anyway, welcome to my lab, X!"
He change the camera's function kaya nakita namin ang kabuoan ng kwartong iyon. It was indeed, a lab and there were even some thugs who are experimenting some things.
"I will be done with everything soon. So for the mean time, you must enjoy your happy and peaceful life." He laughed like a villain then frowned. "I heard about Zeus. You must be in deep vain because he won't even recognize his own wife and son!" Napa tingin ako kay Nate bigla. Mabuti nalang at busy-ing busy sa ginagawa niya.
"I'll see you soon, X. You have to make sure that Zeus already regained his memories by then because if not, I will make a way on my own to make him remember..." the video quickly ended and I just released a deep sigh after that.
Pakiramdam ko'y nahilo ako kaya napa-kapit ako agad kay Krystal na katabi ko ngayon.
"Are you okay Unnie?" I just nodded my head.
"Can we trace them?" I asked.
"I hope so too. But he did not leave a trace." I just sighed again.
"Okay. Let's just wait for Hani and Key to return."
KINABUKASAN ay balik ako sa daily routine ko. I woke up early and woke Nathan up, too, to bring him with me in my office. Sa Hotel kami pupunta ngayon at hindi sa Exodus. Panigurado kasi ay tambak nanaman ang mga paperworks ko sa Hotel.
I dressed Nate with black pants, a shirt and a coat. Ako naman ay naka two piece red dress with a red stilettos as well. I drove us to the office with my black Porsche car. Tahimik naman kasi si Nathan kapag dinadala ko siya sa office, eh.
"Good morning, President, Young Master." I greeted everyone who greeted us with smile.
My Secretary, still Lee Cheol Woo, guided us to the elevator and pressed it's button for us. Nagta tatakbo na si Nathan nang makalabas sa elevator at marating ang floor ng office ko.
I changed my office last year. Itong buong floor ay ginawang office ko lang at ni Krystal. There's a receiving area and two rooms in case we need to pull an all-nighter. It looks like an office in an apartment.
"Mommy, I'm gonna open the tv and watch caltoon!" I chuckled nang hindi niya mai-correct ang 'r'
"Okay. Behave, Nathan, huh?" He playfully nodded his head at ginalaw na ang remote.
This is what happens every time I bring Nathan in the office. He understands that I'm occupied with work kaya hindi nagku kulit. Nanunuod lang siya ng tv, naga-ipad o kaya natutulog sa kwarto.
He is a good kid. That's why I'm proud of my self for raising him well alone.
I was reading an item when I heard a knock from my Secretary. Usually ay nagko connect ito sa line but why did he directly come here?
Napataas ang isang kilay ko.
"A friend came to see you, Miss." kumunot bigla ang noo ko nang marinig iyon?
"A friend? Then why did you not connect with me first?" Napa-sandal ako sa swivel chair then crossed my arms.
"Oh! Ahjusshi!" Napatingin ako sa direksyon na tinuro ni Nathan.
It was Nichkhun by the door standing while smiling.
"You! Why didn't you tell me immediately?!" Mahina pero may diin kong sabi.
"Because he's not just a friend, ma'am. He's your husband right?" I rolled my eyes then quickly searched for my compact to see if my face looks fine.
"Fine. You may go now." Tumayo ako mula sa aking swivel chair at pumunta sa receiving area kung saan nandoon sina Nathan at Nichkhun.
"I told you to call me Daddy, instead." My son grinned.
"Okay.... Daddy.." He grinned once again. I tried to face Nichkhun with a smile then went to the bar to make his favorite coffee.
"I believe you went here for business purposes, Mr. Horvejkul?" He smiled when he turned to me.
"Nichkhun is fine, Tiffany." He looked at what I was doing as I believe he was puzzled because there's a coffee machine in my office and I'm making coffee myself. "You have such a nice office. You... live here?" Tumawa ako at umiling.
"This is really my office. Not until last year. I turned this whole floor into an office and a penthouse." He nodded his head. I offered the coffee after doing the latte art, mickey mouse, his favorite character.
"Thanks for the coffee!" He smiled then took a sip.
I didn't know if it was just me or his expression changed when he tasted my coffee? Is there something wrong with what I made?
"Mommy, na do begeopa!" Nichkhun and I both chuckled when Nathan came to me asking for food.
I squatted to reach his level then pinched his cheeks.
"But we just came here and you just ate, baby." He pouted his lips.
"Yes. But I'm hungry now." Itinagilid ko ang ulo ko at umayos ng tayo.
"Sorry. I have to cater him. Are you here to talk about work?" He nodded then smiled.
"I realize that you were busy with something before I came. So if you don't mind, I can cook him food and you can continue with work."
Ang kapal naman ng mukha ko kung tatanggihan ko ang offer. At isa pa, gusto kong makasama pa siya ng mas matagal.
"S-sure. I'll g-go back to m-my work then." Aish. "Nathan, behave, okay?" My son playfully nodded his head then held Nichkhun's hand as they go to the kitchen.
Ako naman ay pasimpleng napangiti habang pabalik sa swivel chair ko.
Maya-maya nang makaamoy na ako ng pagkain. And by the looks of it, mukhang alam ko ang niluto ni Nichkhun.

His favorite chicken and tuna pesto pasta, na paborito din ng anak niya.
"Wow. Smells good huh." Ngumiti ako at umupo na din sa dinning.
"I am so glad that i'll be able to let you taste my cookings.." he smiled.
"It's a pleasure." I chuckled. "Let's taste this."
Iniwasan kong patuluin ang mga luha ko dahil ayaw kong ipakita sa kaniya, lalo na kay Nathan. My child is so intelligent that I'm afraid that he'll find out once I act weird.
"Wow. Shalap Daddy ah!"
Hindi ko naisubo ang pasta nang marinig ko iyon mula kay Nathan. Kumunot ang noo ko at automatic na napa tingin sa kanila.
"He asked if he could call me Daddy, I said yes, so?" Ngumiti nalang si Nichkhun and I just nodded my head.
Tuwang tuwa naman ang anak ko and kept on calling him Daddy. He longs for his dad, really.
