"How's your lunch meeting sweetie?" Denver asked on the phone as if he didn't know where he was going.
"Well, it goes so well." Terrence doesn't want to tell him over the phone. "I will tell you later babe when we're home."
"Okay, I'll pick you up in your office later then. I have to go, I have a meeting with the Board of Directors."
"Okay. Bye babe."
Denver then hangs up the call.
"James send an email to Matthew. Tell him to report to me as soon as possible," Denver then turned to James and commanded.
Matthew Zhuo is the head engineer assigned by Denver to the project they won recently from the bidding presented by Terrence. He is one of his friends.
"Yes, Sir! By the way, the case that you assigned for me to investigate. I found someone investigating too."
"Who is it?"
"The Cheng siblings."
"We're ahead of them, right?"
"Yes, Sir!"
"Good! How about those men of Ang?"
"I did what you asked me to do, Sir."
"Well done. By the way, investigate that taxi driver that sent Sheldon here to the office. Find his background. I wanted to hire him as my son's driver if he passed."
"Right away, Sir!"
"Thank you! You can leave now."
That's how Denver trusted everything to James. He is fast, reliable, and very dedicated to his work and of course, he can't move without Denver's money and resources. They have so many trusted people to do the job for them.
In Terrence's office. He is surprised to see an unexpected visitor in his office when he arrived from meeting Denver's mom.
"How can a mere employee just leave his office at working hours?" Alena Ang's sarcasm immediately aroused Terrence's temper as soon as he entered his office. Allen told him that someone is waiting for him at his office. That even he told her that he is not IN she made a scene that she's the fiance of the CEO so she can do whatever she wants.
"And you! What is your position in this company to sit on my chair? I don't think you're not even capable of doing the job of a filing clerk." He smirked as he threw those words to Alena Ang.
"You!" Alena Ang can't utter any words as Terrence tells all the truth about her.
"As far as I know, you're not even a graduate of any degree courses. You only got the title of "Ang Heiress" and that's all. How can you help Denver run this company if you don't know anything? Just lie down on the bed, open your legs when he comes back from work? But I doubt Denver will even throw a single stare at something between your legs." Terrence didn't give her a chance to retort his insult.
"Leave my office now as in now before I will drag you outta here. Leave!" Terrence pointed at the door while his voice so deep made Alena Ang tremble.
"You're gonna pay for insulting me, Terrence." He just rolled his eyes, not even showing if he was threatened. Alena Ang got up and immediately stormed out of his office.
"Your family already took it in advance. Wait for my turn."
Terrence then called his secretary.
"Allen, please ask someone to sanitize my office, especially my working table and chair." He is still on the verge of his temper seeing Alena Ang in his office.
"Yes, Sir. Right away!" Allen then immediately called two cleaners to come to his boss' office. "It's my first time seeing him angry. He looks scary." Allen thought.
"Thank you, Allen! You can go back to your work now." Terrence then sat on his chair after the cleaners did the sanitation of his working table. He checked everything if Alena Ang took something from there. "Nothing changes."
"James, can you help me check the CCTV here in my office, please. Time duration from twelve noon to two o'clock. Thank you!" He called James as he thought to double-check to be aware of problems in the future as there are some important and confidential documents he left on his table for the company's next projects.
"Alena Ang didn't touch anything in your office, Mr. Saavedra. He stayed for about thirty minutes only." James came to his office to report.
"Good! Thank you!" He smiled and nodded to him. "What is your boss doing right now?"
"He is just done with his meeting with the Board."
"Okay! You can go back to your work now. Thank you!"
"You're always welcome, Mr. Saavedra."
After James left Terrence received a phone call from Annie Cheng.
"Yes, jiejie?"
"Can we meet tonight?"
"I'll confirm for you later. I'll tell Denver and Sheldon first."
"Okay! Take your time."
Late in the afternoon, Denver, as he promised, picked up Terrence from his office and they went home together.
"Babe, I'll be meeting Annie tonight. Is it okay with you?"
"No problem, sweetie. I'll let James drive for you."
"Thank you, Babe!"
"But you have to tell Sheldon first."
"I will."
When they reached home Sheldon is in the living room. He immediately put down his laptop as he heard the car stopped at the entrance.
"Dadddddyy!!.." he ran and screamed with arms spread ready to receive a hug from his parents.
"Sheldon, slowly baby, please. Don't run." Terrence is worried that he might trip off on the three steps stairs from the main door.
Denver quickly picked up Sheldon, held him from his armpits, raised him and they turned around swinging the kid in the air.
"Hihihi! Daddy, I like it. I want more."
"I'm tired already, son. My arms are painful now. You're so heavy." Denver is acting tired but he just wanted to tease Sheldon.
Terrence is so happy watching them. He is so happy that despite him being so different from others, he found a man who treated him well. A man who gave importance to him and their son even though he was brought up with people who didn't value the importance of what they called family.
"Sweetie, are you okay?" Denver put his arm on Terrence's shoulder while the other was carrying Sheldon. They then went together inside the villa.
"Son, Daddy has to leave after dinner. I have a very important meeting with your Mommy Annie."
"Uuh!" Sheldon pouted. "You cannot read stories with me again?"
"Only tonight. Daddy CEO will read for you but I will call you if I can come home immediately."
"Okay. Tell mommy, Annie, I missed her."
"Sure son. Mwah." Terrence kisses him. "By the way, what are you doing on your laptop?"
"Nothing Dad. I am just writing something." Sheldon then closed his laptop.
As agreed Terrence left with James after their dinner.
"James, please wait for me here," Terrence said before getting out of the car. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a black hoodie jacket over his black denim pants.
"Whoa! Are you going for a ninja job?" Annie Cheng laughed looking at his outfit.
"Annie Jie ah, you know a lot of people are now looking for me." He said in a whisper.
"Okay, I know! That's why I asked you to meet me."
"So what about it?"
"Seems that someone is trying to gather evidence from what had happened eight years ago. And trying to locate you, I mean the only son of David Saavedra."
"Who do you think they are?"
"I have no idea yet. But I won't stop doing it."
"We have to gather all the evidence before they find out about me."
"I and Jason have plans."
"What is it?"
"We are planning to go to your family's ancestral house where Uncle David stayed before."
"How? It's heavily guarded, right?"
"I'll ask permission from Dad."
"Okay, I'll do it. I have an idea so he will allow us to go there."
"Okay. And it's time for you to see him. Since you came back you always have no time to visit us at home."
"Sorry Jiejie, I'm quite busy with my work."
"Work and husband."
"He's not my husband yet, Jie."
"And what do you call that living on one roof and in the same bedroom and doing what a real couple is doing?"
Terrence felt his face become warm and tightened with so much embarrassment.
"You are not bound with marriage but you both are bound with love. Nothing different from a real couple."
"Annie Jie, I wish Dad is here. Do you think he will be happy with me loving Denver?."
"I think so. Your dad is a very understanding person. And I never remember that he didn't understand you. What he did to you before is because he is protecting you. From those people, we're looking for now."
"I understand Jiejie. I just wish he's here to see his grandson. For Sheldon to experience some grandpa's love."
Meanwhile outside the restaurant. James is inside the car waiting for Terrence, talking to Denver by phone.
"I saw some people from Ang. I think they're tailing Mr. Saavedra."
"Okay! Don't let those people get near to him."
"Don't worry Mr. Madrigal. We have people inside."
"Okay good. Let them be free for now. But sudden actions are gonna happen. You already know what to do. As usual."
"Yes, Sir. Noted."
Back to Terrence and Annie's table.
"I have to go now to Terrence Terrence."
"Okay Jiejie. Thank you so much. I'll message you when I'm able to come to visit uncle Cheng."
"Okay let's go." They then went out of the restaurant together.
"Take care! Sheldon missed you a lot."
"I miss him too. Take him with you when you visit Dad."
"Sure." Terrence embraced Annie. "Some people are tailing us. Be careful!" He whispered to Annie.
Annie Cheng then nodded and get in her car which was brought by his driver from the nearby carpark.
Terrence then gets into the car waiting for him.
"Let's go back to the villa James."
"Right away, Mr. Saavedra."
"If you don't mind James. How long did you work for Denver?"
"Since before he became a CEO."
"Oh! How did you become friends?
"We're childhood friends. Me, Chris Yap, Matthew Zhuo, Mr. Madrigal, and Warren Garcia."
"Wait, Warren Garcia? You mean the brother of my best friend Dexter Garcia?"
"Hmmm..."
"But aside from you and Chris Yap, I didn't see Warren and Matthew."
"Matthew is busy with the company's new project. Warren Garcia is busy with their business but we all meet together sometimes if our schedules are not that busy."
"Oh okay," Terrence responded but his eyes saw the car that looked like tailing them.
"They're tailing us," James said to Terrence.
"Just drive fast to reach the villa."
James then sped up a bit to reach the villa. He then reported it to Denver.
"You do the usual thing to deal with such a situation."
"Yes, Mr. Madrigal."
"Okay! You can rest now."
James nodded to him.
"Sweetie, how's your meeting with Annie Cheng?" Denver asked as soon as he got inside their bedroom where Terrence was drying his hair with a towel.
"Good! But people are tailing us just now babe."
"Don't worry about them. Anyways, you haven't told me about your meeting during lunch."
"Would you believe me if I say, I met Mrs. Madrigal?"
"Of course I will believe you."
"He wanted me to leave you in exchange for money." Terrence laughed. "She thought I would stay with you because of money babe." Denver gritted his fists. He can't imagine his parents will reach the said intent.
"Don't mind them, sweetie."
"No problem babe."
"So how's Annie?"
"Hmm, babe can I leave this weekend with Annie and Jason?"
"To where? Hmm?" Denver embraced him from behind sniffing his neck.
"To my family's ancestral house."
"Okay! But anyway, you didn't tell me anything about your family. Your parents. I didn't ask as I want you to tell me when you want."
"My mom died when I was two years old. Dad died in a car accident eight years ago."
"Oh! Sad to know it, Sweetie. Sorry for asking." Denver tightened his embrace to comfort him.
"It's okay, Babe. Do you still trust me or love me if you know who I am?"
"Whatever you said, I will still trust and believe you." Denver then kissed his cheek and took him to the bed for them to comfortably sit while talking. Terrence leaned on Denver's chest as they sat down on the bed.
"My father was David Saavedra. I think you know him?" Though Denver knows the person, he is still surprised to hear it right from Terrence's mouth.
"But they said, his son is gone. No one knows where he is."
"That's because he hid me. After I was kidnapped and rescued when I was eight, he hid me from people who might harm me again."
"If your Dad is David Saavedra, you are the heir of Saavedra back then."
"But Dad declared bankruptcy and that's one reason I wanted to find out why?"
"You don't believe it?"
"No! There must be something why he declared bankruptcy. Sorry to tell you Babe but Saavedra Co. before is soaring high that even surpassed your family's business then all of a sudden he will declare bankruptcy? Isn't it suspicious and his death, I think there's a foul play."
"So you wanted to know the truth?" Denver held his chin to look at him. Terrence nodded.
"To clear my mind about my Dad's death and the truth behind the sudden fall of our business. I have you and Sheldon now and I have my work in your company, I'm satisfied."
"Okay, Sweetie. As I said, I'm always here with you. Any fight we have we will fight it together. Just tell me if you need any help."
"This weekend, I'll go with Annie. Your Uncle Seb will be here to spend time with Sheldon. I think he won't complain that I'm leaving."
"He will understand. As long as we don't go together to make him jealous, that would be fine." Denver chuckled as he thought of Sheldon's jealousy.
"That kid likes you." Terrence laughed.
Denver tickled him until his robe lossen exposing his naked body underneath.
"Babe enough!" He quickly fixed it to cover his body and gripped it tightly.
"The way you gripped your robe seems that you're not trusting my strength Sweetie." Denver winked at him with a playful smile on his lips.
"You go to shower now. Remember you're grounded for two months."
Denver's smile disappeared. "Okay! Don't blame me if I do it with someone then." He then turned around to go to the bathroom.
"What did you just say?" Terrence got up abruptly and held Denver's wrist and pulled him towards him and landed on top of him.
"Don't ever let me hear that again Mr. Madrigal or do it or you will regret it. I'm gonna cut this if you'll do that. Understand?!" Terrence said and suddenly squeezed Denver's crotch.
"Aaaaaahhh...Sweetie, please leave it. It hurts. We haven't made Sheldon's little brother. Aaaahhh..." Denver writhe in pain holding his crotch.
"Are you still going to do it with others?"
"Sweetie, I'm just kidding right now. Sorry!"
"Well, that's not a good joke Mr. Madrigal."
Denver got up and removed his trousers.
"What are you doing?"
"Removing my trousers to check if my little brother is still okay. I can still manage to stand up."
"Go to shower now. He is fine. I didn't hurt him that much."
"Sweetie..."
"Hmm?"
"Can we do it now? I want to try if he can still manage to do it."
"Denver, don't trick me with your antics. Go to shower now or you want me to squeeze him again." Terrence suppressed his laugh as he averted his gaze to Denver who was holding his crotch. It quickly turned reddish after he squeezed it.
"Okay!" Denver then walked towards the bathroom with mouth pouting.
"You have a surprise when you come out later, my horny CEO." Terrence smiled as he mumbled and lay down on the bed. "I think I'm ready to make Sheldon a little brother. Hihihi!" He chuckled at his thought.
