"You should get married!"
Davidson spoke and the room turn silent as Calton and Delphine slowly look at each other. Delphine swallowed hard, her heart racing. What if he get upset and somehow misunderstood the boy's words to be hers.
"Davidson.. uhm.."
"What? Did I say something wrong momma" The little boy asked. Delphine crouched before him.
"Let's get you to sleep.. okay?" She whispered and look up at Calton, who stood there quietly.
The door opened and man stepped in, his aura was like a king as usual. Dominic. Chantel also came with him, she bought some snacks for Davidson
Delphine stood up and greeted them with deep bow. She can't believe she is having this people around. Her gaze moved to Calton, who gave her a smile.
"The cold man" The little boy exclaimed at Dominic. Ever since Davidson set his eyes on Dominic, he assume him to be a cold man.. since he hardly smile except around his Chantel.
Chantel chuckled at his word and led Dominic to sit beside the little boy. He so much look Calton.
After playing with the boy for a while, Davidson finally slept off in Dominic's arm. The boy surprisingly wanted to stay in the cold man's arm.
"I guess he likes you" Chantel chuckled and then turn to face Calton. "Since you'll be getting back to work soon. I'll have to prepare a manager for you"
Calton sigh. "Yeah" his mind drifted to Elsa. Where could she be?
"You should trust me, but for the meantime.. she'll be managing you" Chantel said.
"Who?"
The door opened and Rana walked in, with her manly suit and short hair blowing behind her. A lovely smile was on her lips as she walked into the ward. She was a bit surprised seeing the little boy in Dominic's arm. He was even patting the boy's hair while talking to Delphine.
They look they are having a good conversation, and Delphine doesn't seems to be intimidated by him. She was nice and good with her word. Dominic was a bit impressed.
"Wow. Chantel, this is actually a shock" Rana whispered to Chantel.
"Shh, he is currently behaving like a grandpa" Chantel whispered back.
"So cute" Rana grin.
"Wait, Mrs Rana?" Calton was a bit surprised.
"Oh Calton. I guess Chantel explained already"
"Yeah, but are you sure I won't be hindering anything?" He asked. Isn't this too much for him. He knows how fast and efficient Rana is.. she is just the best manager one can ever come across.
"No you're not" Rana said and grin. "Ready to slap some people on the face?" She asked and they all chuckled.

Chloe stepped down from her car and walked into Avery's apartment. She was dressed on a simple silver gown. Walking in, she let out a sigh. Avery have a business function which was important for them to attend. And now, Avery was wearing her suit.
"Avery" Chloe called her name in between her groan.
"If it's about my dress then don't waste your time" She said putting on her ear rings on both side of her ears. Though she look beautiful, but Chloe doesn't want her to wear a suit.
"Can you please, take this function more serious and wear an exquisite dress. There are so many business men and women that are going to appear there" she said.
Avery close her eyes and made to speak, when the door bell sounded. Opening the door, Chloe eyes settled on a strange man who handed a package to her.
"A delivery for Mrs Avery Winfrey" The man informed. Chloe looked down at the package and went back to the room to inform Avery about it.
Avery opened it only to be shocked by what she saw. it was a beautiful black long gown, sparkling under the light and a red heels. It was dazzling.
Chloe jaw practically dropped on the floor. "Oh my Gawd, am I dreaming? This is the velvet dress, only two was made. How did this dress come here?"
A letter was found in the package.
*Wear this Mrs Winfrey, and I'll owe you one*
"Is he crazy? I'm not wearing this" Her brow furrowed as she dropped the paper.
Chloe read the later and immediately knew who it was. "Are you kidding me? why don't you wanna wear the dress. I badly want to know how it's going to look on you" Chloe pouted.
"I hate dressing in a fancy way, you know that already"
"How about you try this out, please. Beside he'll owe you one which means you can ask him for anything" Chloe said and Avery thought for a while. She took a deep breath and gave the dress a look.
"Fine, at least it has the color I like"
Chloe squealed. "Yes"
"Only one condition.. that we are only Just going to spend an hour there" Avery said and Chloe nodded Instantly.
In the next moment, Avery walk down the stairs with careful steps. Chloe palm her lips in order not to scream. Avery look so different and damn beautiful. The black dress reveal her perfect figure. Somehow her mind drifted to Chantel.. she look exactly like her.. since she had seen her video so many times.
"The way you're staring at me right now.. makes me feel like going back to my room and pull off this dress" Avery muttered.
"If I was a guy.. I'll definitely ask you out" Chloe muttered looking stun. "Can you keep dressing like this?"
"Hell no, I feel uncomfortable already" Avery complained trying to lift her boobs up a little since her cleavage was slightly exposed.
"Let me style your hair and adjust your make up" Chloe said.
"Seriously" Avery rolled her eyes.

Outside the large hall, Lucas sat around a corner busy with his phone, and not minding the ladies around him drooling. He look dashingly handsome with his black retro suit on, his black shinny hair was styled backward. His face calm and serious. He was wearing his face mask, yet one could see how perfect his face is.
Noticing a camera light fluttering at him, he look at the direction with a cold look. He hates when people take pictures of him. The reporter quickly hide his camera after recieving a glare from him.
He lift his left wrist up and frowned. Why is she always late? The function started already. His mind drifted to the dress he had sent to her. Is she going to wear it?
Just then, an uproar came from the entrance and people in the hall turn their gaze to the figure who just stepped in with slow and elegant steps. Her hips sways, her black dress sparkle. Her curly black, long hair fell on each side of her shoulder.. her make up light. She was wearing her face mask so no one recognized her.
Who's she?.. gawd she's so hot...
Look at those hips...
Lucas felt the blood on his face dried when she started walking towards him. She actually wore the dress he had gave her, making her look like a goddess.
"I almost didn't recognize you Mrs Winfrey" Lucas said when she got to him. Eyes were still on them, some even secretly took their pictures.
Are they couples?..
Avery removed her mask. "Do you recognize me well now?" She asked.
"Pulling off your mask will attract more attention, once they know who you are" Lucas said lowly.
"I just want to leave in an hour okay, this dress itch so much" She complained. "Remember you owe me one"
"That's is the reason why you wore the dress?"
"Yes, I'll ask for anything I want in return and you're definitely going to do it for me. You owe me " Avery said.
Lucas saw how her lips curved up evilly and he immediately regret writing that latter.
What is this she devil going to ask him?
