MY TWO DADDY

Surprise

After sending Sheldon to school Terrence and Denver go straight to Madrigal Company. They used the private lift to go up to their office.

Denver grabbed Terrence on his waist and pulled closer to him the moment the lift closed. He crashed his lips without giving him any chance to refuse. Giving him an aggressive kiss that made Terrence’s eyes widened.

"Denver what got into you? Gosh! Babe, we are going to work. You make my work clothes messy. Can you please put your horniness in place?"

"It's your fault, Sweetie. It's been a long time already. I am keeping my restraint to touch you."

"Babe, we are at our workplace now so please stop it, okay? One of these days."

"What?!"

"Okay, bye-bye. Go up and change, Mr. CEO." Terrence then quickly get out from the lift chuckling when it reached his department. "I love you!" He almost whispered to Denver and blew him a kiss when he was already outside. He walked out from the lift facing it. That's why he didn't notice his office mates looking at them giggling.

"I love you, too!" Terrence read on Denver's lips as the lift almost closed.

"Good morning, Sir!" Everyone in his department greeted him with a smile on their faces that made him startled as he was still in front of the lift and about to turn to go to his office.

"Ah eh, good morning everyone!" He then quickly went to his office room as he felt embarrassed thinking that his subordinates saw them flirting with each other at the lift.

"Omg! They might be thinking about what kind of department head they have. Wahhhh!" He screamed his thoughts.

At the CEO Office.

James rushed inside Denver's office.

"Sir old Master, summoned your brother to come home."

"Just let him do whatever he wants."

"But if he is serious about asking you to get down being a CEO, Brian Madrigal might be your replacement."

"I'll tell you James he can't surpass whatever this company achieved because of me."

"I believe you with that, Sir. But how about your shares, how about all these, you make this company grew until it reaches the top and it will just go to someone like him? You spent your whole life making this company grow as it is now. Your brother has not enough experience in running this business."

"Well, if Dad trusted him. He might be the best." Denver responded.

"By the way, old Master is asking you to go to the mansion tonight."

"Okay, I will."

"How about, young master Terrence?"

"I will tell him later. I will go by myself."

In Madrigal's mansion. Criselda Madrigal and Henry Madrigal are arguing about the latter's idea of replacing Denver as a CEO.

"Are you out of your mind? Denver did a lot to put the company on top." Criselda Madrigal yells at Henry Madrigal. She can't accept the fact that her husband's bastard will handle the company.

"And he just wasted it just because of that man." Henry Madrigal retorted.

"There's a lot of ways Henry Madrigal can separate them. We brought up Denver to suppress that kind of feeling. I know he won't stay long with that man. It's just temporary." In her mind, he doesn't care. What she is scared of is when they will lose their power, their life will change and she can't afford to imagine herself being called useless if she doesn't have money anymore.

"I must do something." She then sent a message to her secretary.

"And what ways are you thinking?"

"Leave it to me. I'll see how that man can still refuse my offer and leave Denver."

At the Marketing Directors' office, Terrence received a message from an unknown number but after he reads the message he knows where it came from.

"How do they know my mobile number?" He mumbled to himself. "Anyways, they are Madrigals, nothing is impossible with their money and power."

"Allen, come to my office, please." He then called his secretary.

"Yes, Sir?"

"Can you free my schedule for tomorrow's lunch? I have an important meeting outside."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Okay, that's all. Thank you!"

He then went back to do his work on his computer but stopped after a while.

"What she wanted, why did she suddenly ask me to meet her? Hmm, whatever it is she can't stop me from loving her son." Terrence leaned on his swivel chair with his hand on his chin pouting his lips.

"Is it me you're thinking why your face looks like that?" Terrence jumped off from his chair in surprise.

"Why do you always appear like that? You always scared me."

"Sorry, Sweetie. I am just wondering why you are thinking why you didn't even notice that I opened the door."

"Nothing Babe. Just thinking of the report I'm doing." Terrence planned not to tell him about his mother's message for him. He stood up and gave Denver a peck on his lips but the latter won't go just like that. He held Terrence's waist, pulled closer to him, and gave him a passionate kiss.

"What made you come down here in my office?" Terrence asked after Denver released his lips. They're lucky the blind curtain that covers the glass wall has been pulled down, otherwise, all those employees outside his office had seen a live kissing scene.

"I missed you!"

"We just came here together this morning Babe."

"Well, I miss you every second Sweetie. The whole day not seeing you is like a decade for me."

"Mr. Madrigal, it's still working hours. Remember?"

"I'm the boss."

"So you have the right to abuse your time? How can you show that to your subordinates? They're looking up to you as their model to become better employees. Go back to your office now."

"Okay fine! You dared to shoo your boss."

"You saw me already. You had my lips just now. I think those are enough for you not to miss me for the rest of the day."

"Not enough. I want more. I want to have a lunch date with you."

"Okay."

"That's all?"

"Okay, means yes. What else?"

"I'll pick you up later, Sweetie." Denver then stood up and walked towards him and claimed his lips again.

"That's enough Mr. Madrigal. We're doing indecent things already here in the office."

"We'll do it next time in my private suit then." Denver chuckled.

Terrence's face blushed as he heard what Denver said. He knows what his man is thinking.

"Naughty! Just go back to your office now." And he pushed Denver to his door until he was outside. He closed the door behind him and shook his head. "Haist! Why I'm in love with this guy who is acting like a kid sometimes aaannnddd.....ah nevermind."

Lunchtime, as Denver told him. He picked up Terrence from his office fifteen minutes before the scheduled lunchtime for all employees.

"Omg! They're so sweet!" One of the lady employees giggled as soon as the couple left.

"I didn't imagine our CEO would be so sweet like that."

"And our department is so lucky to see him almost every day. Before I always wondered how is it to see him in person."

"Exactly! We're really lucky. I thought I would retire from this company without at least seeing his face even once."

Those are the employees' reactions to their boss who always hides in his office. Only the board of directors can see him during the meetings.

"And it's been a month now I haven't heard of someone being fired from work."

"Me too." The guys sitting and the far corner of the marketing department said.

"All those strange things happened when our new marketing director came. I think he is the reason why our boss changed a lot."

Everyone agrees in unison.

"Sweetie, I'll be going to the mansion tonight," Denver said while they're having lunch at one of the finest restaurants close to the Madrigal Company.

"Okay! So you'll have dinner there?"

"No! We'll have early dinner. We will pick up Sheldon earlier."

"It's up to you Babe. Anyway, tomorrow lunch I can't be with you. I have to do something."

"Care to tell me what it is?"

"Tomorrow after I've done it."

Denver didn't ask anymore. He will know it even Terrence won't tell about it.

After lunch, they went back to the office. As usual, they used the private lift and both went up straight to the CEO's office.

"James, is there any problem?" Denver asked when they saw his assistant waiting for him inside his office. He looked uncomfortable so Denver asked if there was any problem. James looked at Terrence.

"Babe, I think it's an important matter. I will go back to my office." Terrence said to Denver and pecked him a kiss before going.

"I'll see you later," Denver responded to him.

"Sir, some of our investors are pulling out their shares." James immediately said with a worried face as soon as Terrence was gone.

"How many of them and who are they?"

"Three of them. Han, Chen, and Go. Those with small shares."

"Reasons?"

"Your relationship with Mr. Saavedra." Denver leaned back to his chair.

"Let them go!"

"But Sir...."

"I said let them go."

"Okay. But some are waiting for you in the meeting room."

"Okay inform them I'm coming." Denver's stern disposition obviously can be sensed in his voice and facial expressions. He is not wavering with the news that his assistant told him as if he expected it to happen.

When James came into the meeting room everyone became quiet but when they didn't see Denver they started buzzing again like bees who are been disturb in their beehives wanting to bite the culprit. James just quietly sits at the spot always intended for him to listen to the argument of the members of the board which started heating up.

"What's this ruckus going on?" Denver's voice echoed from the entrance of the meeting room. Everyone sat back straight on their seats and zipped their mouth like they swallowed their tongue suddenly not able to talk.

"What's going on? Why does nobody try to speak up now?" Denver asked with his authoritative voice that made everyone tremble except James.

"Mr. Madrigal, we heard that some investors withdrew their shares because of the news, I mean your announcement about your relationship with the new marketing director." A man in his forties raise his hand and spoke in his shaking voice.

"So is that the problem that all created this commotion? Since you all invested your money in this company, did you all trust me from the start?"

Everyone nodded.

"Of course we are Mr. Madrigal, we didn't invest our money in this company if we didn't trust you."

"Then how come with just an announcement of my personal affair with the marketing director, you're all in a panic if you trusted me?"

Everyone lowered their heads. No one dared to answer as it is very obvious that they doubted his capability.

"I'll tell you all this once. If you all doubted my capability you better decide now whether you withdraw your shares or not. I don't need partners who never trusted me and are good only at making money. My relationship with Terrence has nothing to do with my work as a CEO of this company even though he is working here." Denver didn't wait for their response. He quickly got up from his seat but when he reached the door, he turned again and spoke.

"From now on, I prohibited anyone to mention my boyfriend's name in front of me or anybody or any topic that connected to him is not allowed. You all know what I am capable to do when you break it." He then stormed out of the meeting room followed by James. Everyone fell into silence, even Denver, already gone. No one dared to speak as all of them were thinking about what to do. They know Denver, he doesn't know how to make fun of them. Whatever comes out in his mouth, no one can change it and he won't give mercy to those who disobey his rules.

In school, Sheldon was playing on his laptop with his fingers but didn't type anything.

"Hmm, map! Yes, map!" He mumbled quickly and type something. In a few minutes, a certain map pops out on the screen. "There you go." He then put his laptop inside its bag and took his backpack and went to the school's security guardhouse.

"Uncle! Uncle! Can you call me a taxi please?" He asked.

"No, young master! You are not allowed to go out until your Dad will pick you up." The guard refused as he was instructed not to let Sheldon or any kids go out from school without their guardians to pick them up.

"Please!" He is begging, clasping his two hands with puppy eyes.

"But young master, I'll be in trouble if I let you go out."

"Uncle, I wanted to surprise my Dad, please. I will tell him not to fire you. Please." Sheldon never lost his hopes and continued his antics.

The security guard scratched his nape.

"Let him go!" Sebastian Huang or James who saw Sheldon interrupted them. He is the one in charge of running the school but since the kid has been admitted there he never got the chance to talk to him.

The security guard then calls a taxi for Sheldon.

"Hi, grandpa! Thank you so much. You're such a blessing." Sheldon smiles widely.

Sebastian Huang ruffled his hair. "You are really like your Dad. Too many antics just to get what he wants."

"Which Dad? The CEO or the Saavedra one?"

"The CEO. I'm his uncle so you are right to call me grandpa though I don't like it for you I'm fine with it." Sebastian Huang chuckled.

"You mean you are the uncle that my Dad told me."

"What did he tell you?"

"He told me you were always with him when he was my age, oh he said since he was two when you always bought a skateboard for him."

"Yes, I am."

Sheldon was about to ask more when the taxi arrived.

"Bye, bye grandpa. I hope you will visit me at the villa. I wanted to talk to you more about my Dad." Sheldon bid goodbye as he put on his safety belt.

"I will. This weekend if you like."

"Anytime, grandpa. See you!"

"Okay see you. Take care!" Sebastian Huang then closed the taxi door and turned to the driver's side.

"Please send him to the Madrigal Company building safely." Sebastian Huang then gives some tips as a token to the taxi driver. He refused at first but Sebastian Huang insisted.

"Thank you so much, Sir. I will assure you, he will reach his destination safely." The taxi driver then started the engine and left.

Sebastian Huang then shook his head as his gaze followed the taxi until it's gone. "I won't miss the baby Denver anymore." He said in his mind.

The taxi arrived at the porch of the Madrigal Company building where it also serves as the drop-off point for employees who are taking taxis. It also serves as the main entrance of the building.

"Here we are, young masters." The taxi driver got down and opened the door for Sheldon.

"Thank you, Mr. Driver." Sheldon then gave his fare but the taxi driver refused it. Sebastian Huang already gave him the amount for his one-week income. "Okay! But can you just give me your phone number please?"

The driver is hesitant as he doesn't know what the kid is thinking. He knows Denver, he knows Sheldon is his son as he saw them on television during his appearance at the engagement party. "What do you want with my mobile number, young master?"

"I wanted to save it so I can call you when I need to go somewhere." The kid responds but in his mind is different. "You deserve a reward for taking me here and being a nice driver while we're traveling."

The driver then gave him his mobile number.

"Okay bye-bye, Mr. Driver." He bid goodbye to the driver.

"You're always welcome, young master."

Sheldon then walked towards the lobby while putting on his face masks.

"Wow! This is wow! What a nice structure of the building." He was looking up so he didn't see someone approaching him.

"Hey, kid! Are you lost? Where arè your parents?" The lady receptionist approached him as she thought he was lost.

"I am going to the CEO's office."

"No, you can't!" The lady didn't recognize him as he was wearing a face mask.

"My Dad is there."

"Who is your Dad?"

"The CEO!"

"What?! Our CEO is not married yet."

"Hmm, seems this lady didn't watch television or doesn't like entertainment news." Sheldon thought.

"Yes, he is not married but he has a son and that's me." He still argue with the lady and made them draw attention to everyone who was coming in and out of the building.

"Guard! Come get him and call the police to report a lost child."

The guard quickly came. Sheldon tried to run but with his backpack and laptop he wasn't able to run faster and the security guard caught him.

"Daddddyyyy CEO, helpppp," Sheldon screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Put him down!" The voice over the speaker echoed in the whole building of Madrigal Company and made all the employees startled and stop their work in a minute. Everyone is wondering why the CEO suddenly yells at the speaker. After that, they thought one thing. "Someone's life and career will be doomed today."

Even Terrence wondered what had happened. He put down his work and rushed to Denver's office.

The security guard then put him down but before he could ask something, his eyes widened as he saw Sheldon's face.

"I'm so sorry, young master. I'm so sorry!"

A few minutes ago at the CEO's office. Denver was busy signing the documents on his working table but suddenly his attention caught what he saw on his monitor followed by a scream from the voice he missed the whole day every day since he knew him.

"Put him down!" He yell on the intercom connected to the speaker in the whole building.

He then rushed to the lift to go down to the lobby. After a few minutes, Terrence came rushing.

"James, what happened.?"

"I don't know Mr. Saavedra, maybe he saw something on the monitor." They then saw the lift going down to the lobby.

"Okay thank you! I'll follow him."

Back to the lobby. The security guard started trembling as he saw the private lift coming down. Sheldon is standing beside him, arms crossed on his chest with a playful smile plastered on his face.

"Daddy!" He screamed as he saw Denver came out from the lift and run towards him.

Denver crouched down to lift him as soon as he got him.

"Why are you here baby? Who sent you here? And why are you screaming just now?"

"I took a taxi from school. Grandpa Seb pay for me and told the driver to send me here."

"You mean my uncle?"

"Yes, I met him. And he told me he will visit me this weekend."

"You only?"

"Yes. Hihihi!" Sheldon knows his Dad will get jealous.

"Now my uncle found a new trainee, huh?"

Their conversation continues in the middle of the lobby. They draw so much attention from the employees and guests. It's so strange for them to see Denver smiling and talking to the kid while carrying him. They found it lovely but didn't dare to take photos.

"Wait! You haven't answered me yet. How come you're screaming just now and the guard is carrying you?"

"That lady out there thought I'm lost and told the guard to take me and call the police station to report that there is a lost child. I tried to run but the guard got me."

Denver wanted to say something but Terrence arrived rushing.

"Sheldon, why are you here? Who is with you?" He immediately asked Sheldon and worried about the pain on his face.

He then took Sheldon from Denver.

"Dad, don't worry I'm fine."

"Guard, come here!" Denver calleď the security guard who is still trembling in too much nervousness. He knows how Denver could easily fire an employee.

"Sir, I'm so sorry I didn't recognize the young master as he was wearing a mask. I thought he was lost." The security guard explained with his shaking voice.

"I know you just wanted to do the right thing for calling the police. You can go back to work." The security's eyes widened in surprise.

"Sir! I can continue working?" the security guard asked in surprise like it's a miracle to him to hear what Denver had said.

"You wanted me to fire you?"

"No! No, Sir! I need to earn money for my family."

"Then you go back to work. But next time do the proper investigation. You can ask my son to remove his mask just now, to check if you recognize him."

"Yes Sir. I will do it next time. Thank you so much!" His face was delighted with happiness. Happiness that he has been given a chance to continue his job.

"Babe, let's go up. People are watching us like we are a scary family. Their eyes widened like they are possessed with a lost soul." Terrence chuckled as people in the lobby looked very weird with their reactions.

"Okay, let's go!" Denver took Sheldon from Terrence, then the latter carried the backpack and laptop bag of Sheldon. They took the private lift to Denver's office.

"Next time you have to inform me and your Dad if you are coming here soon so I can ask someone or James to pick you up."

"I just wanted to surprise both of you."

"Well, it is a surprise to see you on that monitor struggling from the guard's gripped, screaming." Denver chuckled.

"Still not okay for me. What if the taxi driver is a bad guy and sends you somewhere like those people doing child trafficking or those who will take your internal organs and sell them." Terrence said in his firm tone.

"I'm so sorry Daddy. I won't do it again." Sheldon pouted his lips.

"I know you just wanted us to be happy for your surprise visit but if you want to surprise us. There are so many ways to do it, son!"

"Okay, Daddy!" He then embraced Terrence.

"Okay, you want to stay here, or do you want to follow me to my office?"

"Hmm, I want to stay here for a while. I will ask James gege to send me to your office later."

"Okay, then you stay here with your Dad then. I'll go back to my office."

"Okay, Daddy. See you later again." He then kisses Sheldon and is about to leave.

"How about me?" Denver who was just staring at them spoke all of a sudden.

"About you?" Terrence knows what Denver wanted but he pretends he doesn't know.

Denver pouted his lips towards him. Instead of kissing him, Terrence put his two fingers on Denver's lips to tease him.

"You have too much today, Mr. Madrigal! See you later." Terrence quickly got up and walked to the lift.

"You deserve a punishment already Mr. Terrence," Denver shouted but smiled.

"Bye, Mr. Denver!" Terrence shouted back as the lift was about to close.

Denver just shook his head.

"Daddy, your office is so nice." It's like our house in Boston. There's a small kitchen, a small living room, and one bedroom."

"One bedroom?" Denver's brows furrowed as he remember Terrence told him that Dexter Garcia will sometimes sleepover with them.

"Yes, Daddy CEO! Why?"

"How about Dexter Garcia when visiting you and your Daddy? Where did he sleep?

"On the couch." Denver felt relieved.

"Aahhh, okay."

"Are you jealous, Dad?"

"No! No!"

"I thought you're jealous as your face turned red."

That day Sheldon spent time in Denver's office, reading magazines and books on how you manage a business.

Denver's decision about the security guard spread all over the different departments. It spread fast.

After work as they agreed, Denver brought his Terrence and Sheldon

for dinner.
