Chapter 11: n B: Find Daddy
"Mr. Wright. You have a sudden emergency meeting," John Garcia revealed right after entering the
CEO''s office.
John''s words made Ethan frown, and he answered, "I don''t eptte meeting requests. You know
that John - "
"Sir, it''s Mr. and Mrs. Song from Chandgai - across the continent." John nodded before exining,
"Yes, they happen to be around, visiting a rtive here in Braeton, so they decided toe and
see you."
John shrugged and suggested, "At least that is what they said, but I think... they might be assessing
the city if it is the right ce for their business."
A clear grimace became painted on Ethan''s face. He checked the time and saw how it was thirty
minutes to two in the afternoon, and he was expecting a visit from the chef.
Unfortunately for him, Mr. and Mrs. Song were very important people he had to see. They were the
owners of the famous theme park that took Asia by storm, considered the best on the continent.
Because of the family-oriented experiences they provided to all their guests, the theme park
became one of the most visited resorts in all of Asia.
Ethan wanted the same in Braeton City, and he wanted not only to learn from the sess of the
Songs, but to be business partners with them as well.
A hiss escaped his lips, saying, "Stall the chef."
"Of course, Mr. Wright. You need not say it! I will support your every desire!" Confirmed John, but
after seeing how his boss red at him, he diverted Ethan''s attention by saying, "I have directed Mr.
and Mrs. Song to the main conference room."
Ethan buttoned his coat before getting up. He ordered, "Have the best coffee and canapes for our
guests. Have Joel take your ce at the meeting."
He paused from where John stood and added, "You - you have... a more important task to do."
''A more important task?'' That left John bemused, but he suddenly remembered how he was
supposed to wee Samantha and her kids. "Oh, right! Right!"
Right after securing the best choices of hot beverages and canapes from the cafe across the
building, John returned to his seat, exactly five minutes before two in the afternoon. Not a moment
too soon, Samantha and her kids came out of the lift, approaching John''s table with nothing but
smiles on their faces.
Kenzie happily approached John and handed him a small paper bag. She said, "These are cream
puffs we bought for you near the school!"
John could not help but smile at Kenzie. He replied, "Why, thank you, little princess!" He squinted
and told with eagerness, "I love cream puffs!"
Kenzie giggled and said, "Me too! Can I have one?"
"Oh, no! Kenzie!" Warned Samantha whileughing at her own daughter. She sat on the seat in
front of John''s table and said to the CEO''s assistant, "She has her own bag of cream puffs!"
Going through her wallet, Samantha took out the check that she had earlier gotten from John and
gave it to him. "Here! Thank you so much!"
After putting the check down on the table, she ced her hand on her chest to say, "And thank you
so much for the opportunity! Working here got me schrships for my kids."
"Oh, don''t mention it, Miss Davis. I was happy to help, but about getting you into thepany, you''d
have to thank the boss for that," suggested John. "It was his decision to take you first."
"Well, I''d really like to meet him." Samantha leaned over and asked, "But is it really okay? CEOs,
they usually don''t talk to lower rank employees, right?"
John chuckled and said, "Oh... he does... now. Haha!" After settling hisughter, John suggested,
"But seriously, Miss Davis, I think the boss wanted to get amitment from you that you will give
The First Diamon Hotel... a Michelin star rating soon enough."
"Oh!" Yet again, Samantha could not help but feel overwhelmed. To get a Michelin star rating in a
restaurant would be such an achievement, and she was stunned to hear how they were expecting
that from her.
She took a deep breath and said, "I will certainly do my best!"
ncing at the CEO''s office, Samantha asked, "So, do I get to see Mr. Wright?"
Kyle, on the other hand, just did not mind their conversation. His eyes were glued to the CEO''s
office just a few steps from them. He then heard John say to his mother, "Well, that is the thing... Mr.
Wright suddenly had an emergency meeting in the main conference room, but! He is still looking
forward to having that discussion with you."
"I hope you don''t mind.. waiting," John proposed.
Kenzie and Kyle immediately looked at each other. While Samantha and John resumed their
exchange, the twins settled in one corner to talk.
"Oh, you know what? I should have known better. The president must be a busy man. There is
really no need for me to see him. I just feel embarrassed altogether," Samantha responded. She
acted to collect her belongings and that of the kids before she said, "Please do extend my gratitude
to Mr. Wright. That is more than enough for me."
"Maybe we should go," added Samantha.
"Miss Davis, please. Please stay. I swear, Mr. Wright is expecting you," advised John. He was so
adamant about letting Samantha stay that he got up from his seat and stood next to her. "He
probably won''t take long, and Mr. Wright is just two floors down. I''m sure he will be back in no time."
While John was convincing Samantha, the kids behind them were forming a n of their own.
"We can''t leave before we see Daddy," suggested Kenzie.
"Then, let''s proceed to n B. Did you hear that? Main conference room. Two floors down," Kyle
repeated.
Kenzie nodded and dered, "Let''s go find our daddy!"
Meanwhile, Samantha was nearly convinced that it was best to wait. Besides, if the CEO himself
was expecting her, she should not deny gracing him with her presence. However, just as she
thought this, John received a call from Ethan. His mobile rang loudly, and he instantly picked it up in
front of Samantha.
"Mr. Wright? I see. So it''s taking you longer?" A clear sigh escaped John''s lips, and he said, "Okay,
Mr. Wright. I''ll inform Miss Davis."
After putting down the phone, he turned to Samantha and reported, "I think... he is having a problem
with the meeting."
That was Samantha''s cue. She got up and said, "You know. I understand. It must be very important.
Maybe... Some other time. Yes, some other - "
She halted her words, realizing her kids were not anywhere around them. "Kenzie? Kyle?"
Carrying her bag and that of the children, she took a full turn and called again, "Oh... My... God!"
"Kyle? Kenzie? Where are you?" Samantha unwittingly walked distances, covering some areas of
that office floor in search of her children. Yet, despite her efforts, she could not find them.

"I''m sure they are just around here," John said, also seeking the twins.
He walked to the other side of the office floor, asking the secretaries at the same time.
Unfortunately, none of the secretaries noticed where they left off to.
"You know what? I think I noticed them going towards the lift. I just wasn''t sure before you said they
disappeared," suggested one employee, prompting Samantha to run off to the elevators.
Unfortunately, the twins were not there either. What were the chances that the twins took the
elevators? It was likely possible.
With Samantha dreading, John had to warn the receptionist, their roving security, and all the
personnel who were guarding all exits of the building.
After twenty minutes of searching for the twins, John determined it was best to check all
surveince cameras. He offered to take Samantha to the security room when they heard a familiar
voice.
"Mommy! We found Daddy!"
Samantha turned in the direction of the office floor entrance, and to her shock, she found Kenzie
being carried by an impassive, tall, and alluring man with deep-seated eyes. On the man''s other
hand, he was holding her son, Kyle.
"Mommy, daddy said he''ll buy me donuts!" Kenzie added with a sweet smile.
