“I don’t understand why you thought it was a good idea to help with all the heavy lifting, especially since we didn’t eat anything this morning.” Atticus whined as he sat on a demarcation.Kai laughed as he grabbed the water bottle he had taken from home and took a sip of water from it before handing it to Atticus who downed the whole content.“Hey! You could have left some for me.” Lorenzo barked, his voice so loud that it reverberated through the hall, and almost scared the workers.“Oh. I’m sorry, I didn’t think you were going to be thirsty.” Atticus responded and Lorenzo glared at him. Clicking his teeth, he knew the kind of person Atticus was and he knew that it would be better to not dwell on it.Lorenzo slumped on the floor, closing his eyes for a few minutes before slowly opening down to look at the well decorated ceiling, and even the chandeliers were perfectly decorated too.Things between him and Shadow are better now, even though it was evident that Shadow was still mad at

Days moved faster than ever around the Grant family and everyone associated with them, the preparation for the charity fair was underway and already a week away.“Catherine, you’re going to handle the mail, please. We do not have so much time to dilly-dally anymore.” Teresa pointed out, she was writing something on the paper she was handing.Catherine sighed, she was stressed out already, but this was something that Kai had been waiting for for almost all of his life, so she knew that she had to put her all into it and it was going to be worth it, definitely.“Fine! I already sent a few to the orphanage homes, elderly homes and all, I don’t know, are there any other mails you would like me to draft?” She asked, her eyes skimming through the menu.Teresa had put her in charge of the catering service, and even though she wouldn’t be cooking anything, she had the power to approve of anything on the menu or decline them.Work at the Rainbow corp has been put on hold, and all staff have be

“What about it?” Kai questioned as he finally sank into one of the empty couches. He stifled a yawn, if his grandfather was waiting up so late for him then it must be really important and his curiosity was taking the best of him too.He wanted to know what his grandfather had noticed about the charity fair that made him want to speak with him, Kai, so late at night, especially after a long day at work.“Nothing, really. I’m really proud of you, and I’m glad you’ve been thinking about hosting something so impactful even before you knew who you truly are.” Fabio responded.He shouldn’t have chosen this time to speak with Kai, he could see how tired his grandson was and after he mentioned the fair, he could see the worry lingering in his grandson’s face.“But, you don’t think it’s going to be a success?” Kai asked, an eyebrow raised. He didn’t think his grandfather was going to say something like that but he thought that after a few words of encouragement, there was always something comi

The man, confused, was about to protest when Kai placed both hands on his shoulders and practically forced him to the backseat of the car.“I really won’t be alright if I don’t make it up to you,” Kai said as he held the door open for Catherine who got into the front seat of the car, beside the driver’s seat, and when he was sure that she was comfortable, he walked around the car and got into the driver’s seat.The driver back home was comfortable, and even though the man was experiencing some signs of discomfort because he felt like he should have driven the car instead, he couldn’t help but smile.Looking out the moving car, the night lights rapidly moved past as Kai drove like the kind of driver that should be featured in a fast and furious movie but everyone was comfortable.They were sure that they were definitely going to make it back home safely.“You remind me so much of your father,” the old man said, his voice loud in the silence of the car. Kai didn’t say anything immediate

“It was Teresa, and she was calling because she needed some clarity on what kind of flowers to use for the charity event.” Kai explained, his eyes following as Catherine made her way to the water dispenser to have a cup of water.“Really?” Catherine sighed, disposing of the cup that she’d used. “I saw her calls but I was in the conference room and couldn’t pick up so I had it go to voicemail.”“I know, she told me.” Kai pointed out as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, time was going by quicker than he’d expected and some of the staff on the executive floor were already getting ready to leave.“Was she able to decide which one?” She asked and Kai nodded as he explained to her that he’d helped Teresa decide what flowers to use. Catherine raised an eyebrow, she’d always had an inkling that he knew about flowers but she wasn’t too sure.“What?” Kai pouted, his gaze returning to his computer screen. “Regardless of what you think or how I look, I know quite a lot about flowers and Teresa ha

On getting back to the office, Kai threw himself back into work, making calls, approving and disapproving projects. His mind drifted towards Gina and Jake and he shook his head momentarily.Whatever Gina had done, he was sure that she’d done it out of pure jealousy but Jake was a different case. He was reporting to a force he’s more loyal to than the Benson family.Kai didn’t want to get involved in the matter but he knew that Jake would throw all three sisters under the bus if it ever came down to it, and he just couldn’t understand why they couldn’t see him for who he actually was.The mask Jake had on was already cracking so much that even Catherine could immediately tell that he was a very bad person.“Kai?” Catherine’s voice jolted him out of his thoughts, and he lifted his gaze to see her staring so worriedly at him. “What’s wrong? You’ve stopped working for minutes now.” She added.Kai didn’t know just how deep in thoughts he had gotten until he looked at the paper in front of
