[Dude, you have a surprise visitor at the office. He claims to be your son!
Well, well, well. Look who’s been playing hide and seek. You better call me back with an explanation!]
A son?
Everett furrowed his brows in annoyance.
He didn’t like Jeffrey’s taste for mindless jokes. He had only ever been with Dorothy in his life. There
was no chance of him having a child out of wedlock
Just as he was about to dismiss the messages and check on his work, Jeffrey called again.
Everett pressed the answer button, his tone heavy as he said, Tm trying to work here, Jeffrey. Cut the

“I’m not kidding! Jeffrey was almost shouting. Your son is actually here at the office!”
“I don’t have a son.”
“That’s impossible! This kid is definitely yours. Everett. If you saw his face, you’d never say that.”
Jeffrey sounded extremely convinced
But to Everett, it seemed like Jeffrey was bored and found some random kid who looked like him to

“Jeffrey, did you finish dealing with the office projects? If you’re not busy, I can send you abroad
“Hey! Why won’t you believe me?! I am going to send you a picture right now!”
“Im not interested”
Jeffery was dumbfounded. Why was this guy so difficult?
Everett massaged his temples in frustration. Being in this unfamiliar city outside his scheduled plans,

Before Jeffrey could finish, Everett hung up.
What he didn’t expect was Jeffrey’s persistence. Despite being hung up on, Jeffrey sent him a picture
via WhatsApp.
Everett didn’t bother to open it. Instead, he logged onto his computer and opened the company’s
system.
Since he left the office abruptly, there were loads of pending tasks waiting for him.
Everett started attending to the company’s matters and noticed a project contract from Heather.

Everett got up to answer.
It was Kevin, carrying some food and drink.
“Mr. Lopez, you faven’t eaten yet. Have some nourishment. I will look at the system’s emails in a bit, so
you don’t need to bother with them. If there’s anything important, I’ll let you know.”
Everett knew how much Kevin had taken on for him over the years. He wasn’t a harsh boss ton,

Kevin chuckled. Tm not tired”
Everett stepped aside to let Kevin in.
He arranged the food on the table and then made to leave.
“Join me.” Everett offered.
“No, thanks. I’ll grab a bite when I get home”
Kevin knew that Mr. Lopez had a serious case of mysophobia and was extremely particular about his
food. Kevin didn’t need to indulge In such luxuries.
“I can’t finish all of this myself. It’s a good opportunity to discuss work.”
