TEN

It's Thursday today and Terrence has been going from one meeting to another; He has not gotten the chance to see Gabby at all.

"Ian, can we please take a break? I need to see Gabby," Terrence said to Ian who was going over the report of their new project.

"Sure, bro. We still have about a 20 minutes break before the Shanghai investors arrive." Ian replied.

"Oh, thank goodness. I will be right back." Terrence walked out of Ian's office, took the lift to the third floor where the human resource department was.

"Hi, Katherine. Is Gabby in?" Terrence asked.

"No, sir. She stepped out about an hour ago." Katherine replied.

"Did she by any chance tell you where she was going?"

"No. But she said she won't be back to the office until tomorrow." Katherine answered.

"Alright. Thanks." He said as he went back to Ian's office. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialled Gabby's number but she did not pick up.

"Is anything the matter?" Ian asked.

"Gabby isn't in her office and Katherine said she had left the office and won't be back until tomorrow. I even tried calling her but she's not answering my calls. What if something bad had happened?" A worried Terrence said.

"Be positive Terrence, everything will be fine. I'm sure Gabby is okay." Ian assured.

"I hope so," Terrence muttered.

....................................

"Gabby!" Sophie yelled in excitement as she ran to hug Gabriella.

"How are you, sweetheart?" Gabby asked as she picked Sophie up.

"I'm fine." Sophie grinned.

"I was beginning to think you would not show up," Sophie said with a pout.

"I promised you I would and I always keep my promise," Gabby said.

She had promised Sophia to take her out to have a girls time with her. She had been so busy with work since Monday so she decided to spend half a day at work and spend the rest with Sophia.

"You are wearing the bracelet I gave you." Sophie grinned as she saw the bracelet on Gabby's left wrist.

"Yes, dear. I like it so much so I wear it all the time." She replied.

"Are you ready to go now?" Gabby asked.

"Yes. But I have to get my backpack." Sophie said as she played with the button on Gabby's shirt.

"Okay love, go get it. I will be waiting for you." Gabby said as she put Sophia on her feet.

The little girl ran to her class and came back in time with her backpack.

They walked hand in hand towards Gabby's car. Gabby helped Sophie settle in the back seat and buckled her up before making her way to the Driver's seat.

"Sophie, do you want to play some games on my iPad till we get to the mall so you won't be bored?" Gabby asked the little girl

"Yes please."

Gabby took out her iPad from her bag and handed it over to Sophie.

"Thank you, Gabby. You're the best." Sophie grinned.

"You're welcome, my baby." She replied.

Gabby checked her phone and saw that she already had 6 missed calls from Terrence so she called him back immediately.
