"Young master, he is here," Benjamin said to Denver who is sitting on the couch with Terrence and Sheldon who are busy with their laptops. "Let him in please, Uncle Ben." Benjamin then let that person come in. "Hey Mr. Driver, you're here!" Sheldon exclaimed as he saw the taxi driver that sent him to Madrigal Company. building before. "Hi, young master Sheldon." He waved his hand to him. "Come sit down. Armand, right?" Denver asked him to sit down. Armand was hesitant to sit as he is shy. He can't imagine himself inside the house of the popular CEO. "Don't be shy, Mr. Driver. Daddy won't eat you." Sheldon gave him a cute laugh. Armand then sat down opposite Denver and Terrence. "You can start working tomorrow. You don't have to drive a taxi anymore but you have to drive one of those cars outside if you see them in the garage." Denver has five cars in total. One latest model of a sports car, a hummer car, a convertible (which he is using for going to the office with Terrence and James), and two full-size luxury cars. "Sir?" Denver nodded after his surprised reaction. "You will stay here during weekdays and you can go home on weekends. After you come back from school on Fridays, you can take your day off already. Just let us know if you're about to leave." Terrence added. "Thank you so much, Sir. My mother will be happy about this." "I'll send your mom for medications too if you don't mind. One of the benefits we can give you to work as my son's driver." Armand was tearful when he heard it from Denver. "You're such a good person, Sir." "My son likes you and he asked me to hire you," Denver said ruffling Sheldon's hair. "Uncle Ben, can you take him to his quarter please." Denver then asked the butler. "Come with me, Armand." Armand then followed Benjamin to the servant's quarter. A small house with several rooms for all the servants in the villa. "Babe, can we talk now?" Terrence asked Denver. "Sure, Sweetie." He then called one of the helpers to look after Sheldon. They then went to the study room. "What is it all about, Sweetie?" Denver asked right after he closed the door. Terrence put the document on the table. "Look at this?" Denver came closer and took the document that Terrence presented to him. His eyes widened as he saw the contract stamped with his name on it. "What's the meaning of this?" "That's what I wanted to know? I found that contract in our ancestral house. It was signed two days before my Dad had an accident." "I can't remember that I had a transaction with your Dad. We met before, several months before he had declared bankruptcy. We talked about a partnership on a proposed project but it didn't go through as Ang Co. made a deal with my Dad and the project was done between Madrigal and Ang companies. After that, we didn't meet again. I was shocked too, to hear the news about Saavedra Co. bankruptcy." "So this must be done by someone who had a grudge with my Dad or fears that my Dad will surpass their company achievements?" "We have to dig about it, Sweetie. When your Dad had an accident my name was dragged into it. But I tried to block all the news from coming out as I am innocent." "Hmmm, I don't believe too that it was an accident." "You mean there's foul play?" "Hmmm.." and he handed the letter that he found with the document. "There must be someone who wanted to frame me up with your Dad's death. And in your Dad's case, there must be someone who wanted to get rid of him. Saavedra Co. before is not that small and it's growing consistently." "When I applied to your company, do you already know or had an idea that I am a son of David Saavedra?" "Nope! Didn't cross my mind as I am thinking there's a lot of people with the same surnames. Besides, if I think about Saavedra's lost son, I cannot track him. He was lost when he was still young and no one knows about him." Denver said it looking at him intently. "But sorry Sweetie, I asked someone to investigate your identity when you entered the company but found nothing." Terrence smiled. "It's because I don't want anyone to know who I am so I can do my investigation about my Dad and the company. That is one big reason why I came back here to Manila." "So you applied to Madrigal Co. . to investigate too?" "No! I had no idea yet about it when I applied online for the position. It's just that everyone dreamed to be part of Madrigal Co. . and I didn't know that's because everyone, mostly women, wanted to be close to what they called handsome but cold CEO." Terrence released a gentle laugh. "Silly! And you didn't expect that the CEO is the man you're afraid to meet because he might take your child away?" "Exactly! Fate works on us Babe." They then both laughed. "Anyways, I'll help you, Sweetie. To find more info to link to what happened to your family business and your Dad's death." "Thank you, Babe. I'll give you something special tonight because of that?" He then winked at him and Denver pulled him closer. "Promise?" He nodded. "We will make Sheldon's little brother's face. Last time it's just the brain." Denver whispered in his ears with a light brushing his lips on his earlobes and made Terrence feel a different kind of sensation. "Babe, it's tonight. Not now." Terrence then distanced himself from Denver. "Sheldon might be waiting for us now." "You go first. I need James to do something for me." "It's weekend Babe. Let your friend rest, besides he must be tired from last night." "I'll just talk to him so he can do it whenever he's free." "Okay. Up to you! But I am thankful Babe for your help." "We're together now. We're not married yet but we are a couple. We help each other. Fight together against those who are against us. I am also thankful that you didn't judge me right away. Instead, you trusted and believed me." "That's how a couple works, right? Listen and understand each other." "That's right!" "Okay, I'll go down now otherwise your son will come here and throw tantrums again and suspect us for making his little brother." Terrence laughed as he started his steps to go out. "Well, we can do a quickie one if you like." Denver teased him. "Nooo...tonight. I said." Terrence stuck his tongue out to tease Denver and quickly stormed out of the study room. "Naughty!" He thought as he fished out his phone to call James. "James set an appointment with the person I sent to you. Let me know if he will agree or not." Denver said as soon as James picked up his call. "No problem Mr. Madrigal!" "Tomorrow, I want you to give me a report on all your gathered information about the Saavedra's." After talking to James, he went out to find Terrence and Sheldon. On an island not that far from the mainland. "Terrence found the contract behind the portrait." A man in his sixties talking to another man of about his age too. "Let him do what he wants to do. I think he is doing fine now." The other man responded. "Have you seen what their kid did on the engagement of Denver and the heiress of Ang?" "Yes! Everything that is happening in the mainland didn't escape to my knowledge. And that boy, it's not a surprise to see how smart and clever he is. The Saavedra and Madrigal genes together is a bomb." The man laughed. "Exactly! At his age, he is already quite dangerous. When he reaches the right age, he will surpass the achievements of his CEO dad." "He is a kid you can be proud of. Just like Terrence and Denver, they have different personalities but are dangerous once triggered." "Well, I think the danger of them all is coming. Hahaha!" "Let us see all these dramas. Let us watch their fall soon." The man chuckled. "Anyway, I heard that the bastard of Henry Madrigal came back and there's a rumor that he will replace Denver as the CEO." "Is it Henry Madrigal's decision? That old man is still a fool. If not because of his son Denver, Madrigal Co. . didn't even reach the peak of all the success that they're enjoying now." They stop talking when the man on his sixties phone vibrated as it received a new message. He took it out and read. "Denver wanted to meet me tomorrow." "For what?" "His assistant message me but didn't tell the nature of the meeting. He just said very confidentially." "Approve the appointment and whatever deal it is as long as it is good. Deal with him. I can feel this would be part of the drama that we are waiting for." He smirked. "Ji Li, by the way, had reported that Terrence asked him again to do some work." "I knew it. That bratty possessive kid. Tsk!" "When will you show up and tell him everything?" "If the right time comes. Let him do all the investigations. He loves doing it. If I show up now, it will ruin his plans." "Okay. He is a Saavedra." They then both laughed until their waves of laughter vanished into the air. Monday, Denver and Terrence came to work together. James went up to the CEO's office ahead of Denver as he accompany Terrence to the marketing department. He find it too early to start his work so he followed the latter. "Babe let me start working now. Stop bothering me here." Terrence pouted. "You made me tired last night Sweetie." Denver tried to flirt with him by biting his lower lip. "Hey! Mr. CEO before you forget. Let me remind you, we're not at home anymore." Terrence reprimanded him as he started taking his steps towards him. "If we're not working, I will do you every day." "What?! Everyday? Are you crazy?" "I'm not crazy Sweetie. I'm horny, right now. But yes, it should be every day." "Every day, hmm.." "Yes! Every day means every day. Deal?" "Deal your d!ck! Goooo...I need to work babe. Please..." Terrence pushed him towards the door of his office. "Okay fine but just one kiss." "One!" Terrence even raised his finger to show him that once only but that's the biggest mistake of him to permit him to kiss him. Denver crashed his lips aggressively, pushed him against the wall, and pinned his hands over his head. "Hmmmpppp! Hmmph!" Terrence started to get away from his grip but it didn't work. "Huff! Huff!" Terrence was chasing his breath while holding his chest when Denver released his mouth. "Sorry, Sweetie. I can't get enough of you." Denver cupped his face. He glared at him. "Just go to your office now." He then walked towards his table and get his water and drink as he might pass out chasing his breath. "Sweetie..." "You're too much. I'll be sleeping in the guest room for a week." "But..." "No buts. You better leave or have no lunch together, no sleeping together and most of all no papapapa for a month." "Sweetie..." "One!" Denver just scratched his head looking at him. "Two!" "Babe, I'm not our son to count like that." "Three!" They were both startled when his office phone started ringing. "Yes, James?" Terrence picked up the call and listened to what the assistant said. "Brian is in your office." He told Denver after he put down the phone. Denver's face changed quickly as he heard his brother's name. He came back to his former self. His stoic and cold personality came back. He quickly got out of Terrence's office and went inside the lift to his office. At the CEO's office. "Mr. Madrigal, so sorry. I told him to wait for you but he didn't listen." James said as soon as he saw Denver came out from the lift. Denver didn't say a word. He quickly opened the door of his office and there he saw Brian sitting on his seat. "So excited to replace me in my position? Do you think you are worthy to be a new CEO?" Denver clenched his fists. Brian gave a fake laugh. "Brother, relax. I have no intention to replace you. I just follow what Dad told me." Denver smirked. "Really? Let us see then." "Anyways, I am here to hand you personally the invitation for this weekend banquet. Father might announce the new CEO of the Madrigal Co. . then." Denver didn't waste time taking the invitation. "I don't need an invitation. Invited or not I'll be there. Now! Leave!" "Is that how you deal with guests?" "Never in this office have guests like you." Denver kicked the swivel chair where Brian sat. "James told someone to replace this seat. It's broken." "Yes, Mr. Madrigal!" "Whoa!" "You! You better leave. Wait for your turn. Don't get excited." "Okay!" Brian then left with gritted teeth. "I'll be the reason for your fall Denver." When Brian is gone. Denver asked James about the information he wanted to know. "Mr. Madrigal, your appointment is tonight at 7 pm. I'll take you to the address later. About the information that you asked me to gather. It's already done." "Good! Prepare everything ready." "As always Mr. Madrigal," James responded. Lunchtime Denver went down to Terrence's office. "Sweetie, are you still mad?" "For what?" "What did I do this morning?" "Hmmm...you're grounded for a week so it's fine." "A week?" "Any complaints?" "Nothing!" Denver didn't say anything anymore as he knows Terrence the more he will complain the more he will be grounded. "Let me treat you for lunch." "That's a good idea. Let's go! I'm hungry." Terrence then stood up and intertwined his fingers on him and they walked out of his office together, making the other employees scream and squeak when they're gone. "Omg! How can two men look good together?" One of the ladies exclaimed, acting like going to faint. At the restaurant where Denver and Terrence are having lunch. "Sweetie, I have a dinner meeting later," Denver said while they're waiting for their orders. "With who?" "Very important person." "Why did you tell me if you can't tell me the name?" "Are you mad?" "Don't send me home later. I'll be meeting with Dexter Garcia after work." Denver's face is covered with jealousy. "Meet him for what?" "Like old times. We're best friends. Remember?" Their order came and they started eating quietly. No one dared to speak as one was full of jealousy and the other one was just in a bad mood. "You're going with me this weekend at the mansion." "Why?" "You're my partner, my boyfriend, my son's father, what else could I say that you need to be always with me?" "Okay!" Terrence was a bit disappointed as Denver never mentioned marriage or marrying him. That he could call him his husband. 6 pm "Mr. Madrigal, Dexter Garcia picked up Mr. Saavedra downstairs and they're heading to a restaurant." James told Denver. He clenched his fist. He really can't control his jealousy. He took his phone instead and dialed Sheldon's number while heading to his private suite inside his office and pour some wine in a glass. "Hi, Daddy!" "Son, I'm not home for dinner as I have a meeting with the client." "How about Daddy Saavedra?" "He didn't call you?" "He didn't! Where is he, Daddy?" Denver started being mad. "Ah, he is still at work, Son. You can call him after we talk." He lied as he knows his son doesn't like Dexter Garcia and when he will tell the truth he might get disappointed. "Okay, Daddy. Daddy, I had fun with uncle Armand. After school, we went to the playground nearby and he knows how to skateboard too. Can you buy him one, Dad?" "Sure, son! I will ask your Uncle James to buy it for him." "Yehey! Uncle Armand, Daddy will buy a skateboard for you." Denver chuckled as he heard how happy his son was. He thought Sheldon found a new friend in Armand. After he spoke to Sheldon, he dialed Terrence's number but the latter didn't pick up his call. "What are you two doing? Why didn't you bother to pick up my call?" He poured some more wine into his glass and drank it in one gulp. Meanwhile at the restaurant where Terrence and Dexter Garcia are having dinner. "My wedding is next month." Dexter Garcia said as they started eating. "Congratulations then." "Tsh! If I have only the courage like Denver to fight my Dad." "Bo! Let's have dinner first. Then we'll talk about it later." They then continue eating, diverting their topic. Terrence is not aware that Sheldon is calling him as his phone is inside his laptop bag. At the Villa "Young master, eat your dinner please." Benjamin tried hard to convince Sheldon to eat but he continued sulking. "No! I won't eat." "Your Daddies will be worried if you won't eat and might scold us all here." "Then tell them I am mad. They didn't come home to have dinner with me. Daddy Saavedra is not answering my call. Daddy CEO is busy with his meeting. They don't love me. Whoa!" Sheldon cried so loud it made Benjamin and the helpers panic. "Young master please don't cry. We all love you. Your Daddies are just busy but that doesn't mean they don't love you." Benjamin is shaking his head. "Really? Then we can skateboard together?" Sheldon's eyes widened looking at Benjamin. "Uh! Uh! Young master, this grandpa cannot play skateboard anymore. My knee is already shaking when I skateboard." "I'll play with you. How about that?" " Uncle Chris? Yeheeeyyy!" "But I want you to eat your dinner now. It's getting late. You still have school tomorrow." Sheldon quickly eats his food. Benjamin heaved a sighed of relief and other helpers as well. At that moment Denver and James arrived at the restaurant where he will meet the "very important person" that he said to Terrence. "Hi, Mr. Madrigal, nice to meet you!" "Glad to meet you too." "So what's up?" "I wanted to rebuild the Saavedra Co. but with the condition to keep it secret to Terrence. For now!" "Okay! Sure." "Deal!" "Just do whatever you want to do for the company. I trusted you as long as it's for Terrence." They then departed with the thought of becoming successful with their plans.
