Chester stood by the window of his room, looking at the backyard of his house which had been transformed into a party area for his parents'' 50th wedding celebration. Actually, without Chester being the Secretary General of the United Nations, his family was quite well off. Therefore, it was not surprising that now a lot of people hade, even though the event would only start in about 30 minutes.
Chester didn''t like this kind of party. He actually was not in the mood. He was sure that a lot of strangers would try to get close to him.
Knock ...
Knock ...
A knock at the door made Chester''s reveries dispersed. He pressed a secret button that was located not far from where he stood today. It was a button that made the door open automatically from the inside.
As soon as the door was wide open, a handsome young man appeared carrying a teddy bear that was quiterge.
"Damn, it''s not my birthday. So throw that ugly stuffed animal away from me," Chester shrieked angrily at the strange man who had entered his room.
Instead of carrying out Chester''s orders, the young man put the Teddy Bear that he carried carefully on the sofa. "I didn''t bring it for you. I brought this stuffed animal for my niece, Charlotte."
"Tsk, my daughter will not be short of toys. So you don''t have to bring her anything," Chester said curtly unfriendly.
The strangerughed out loud. "You don''t like my gift, you don''t like it because it''s your ex-wife''s favorite stuffed animal who left it, don''t you?"
"Edward Cole, watch your words!!!" Chester shouted loudly.
Edward Cole, who was Chester Lloyd''s cousin, immediately burst intoughter. He was happy to see that his cousin, whom he had not seen for a long time, was angry.
"Where did I go wrong? Wasn''t what I said right?"
"Fuck you!"
Edwardughed again. He then approached Chester who was standing by the window.
"Forget that woman, she doesn''t deserve you. You can get any woman you want, Chester," Edward said quietly as he stood beside Chester.
Chester took a deep breath. "There is no woman I can trust to take care of my daughter except..."
"Except who?" Edward immediately cut off Chester''s words curiously.
Chester waved his hand in the air. "Forget it. Let''s not talk about women tonight. I don''t want to spoil my mood today."
Edward chuckled. "Very well, dear Mr. Lloyd, Iply with your words."
Chester sneered at Edward, then turned back to look at the backyard, which was getting more and more crowded with guests. Being the only son in the Lloyd family made Chester always the center of attention of all his extended family. So when Chester was nowhere to be seen, many people asked where he was, including Edward''s parents who had joined Chester''s parents.
"Master, the event is about to start." Michael who had just arrived reminded Chester to get ready immediately.
Because Chester did not respond to Michael''s words, Edward slowly touched his cousin''s shoulder gently. "Come on, the party wouldn''t beplete without the main star, Chester."
Chester pursed his lips. "This is my parents'' show, not mine."
"I know, but all these people came because they wanted to see you Mr. Chester Lloyd, the Secretary General of the United Nations." Edward answered Chester''s words quickly.
Chester didn''t speak again and immediately grabbed the coat he had ced on the sofa before leaving his room followed by Edward and his personal assistant, Michael, behind him.
Chester''s appearance in the party area immediately made the guests hysterical, especially the women who were still single and mothers who brought their daughters. Chester''s appeal was so great, logically no one would refuse Chester Lloyd, the Secretary General of the United Nations. Because Chester was surrounded by so many people, Edward chose to get out of the way. He stood in the bar area enjoying a drink the barista provided.
The wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd became the news everywhere. Reporters from various media hade to cover and live broadcast the family event of the youngest UN Secretary-General in history, so that all Swiss citizens would know that there was such an important event tonight.

< Jack''s Mansion, 9 PM >
"Shit! Why would an unimportant event like this is covered? I don''t understand people''s tastes."
Nichs, who was in themon room, looked annoyed to see that his favorite event was reced by the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd.
Alice, who was busy ying a game on her cell phone, chuckled. "That''s why I don''t like watching television."
"I understand your decision, Alice. But look at this, this television station likes to rece my favorite shows with trash programs like this," Nichs said, full of emotion because he couldn''t see his favorite fishing rod removed.
"Just watch it on YouTube, Nick." Jack, who had just finished lulling Christian into bed, joined his three assistants rxing.
Nichs, who was angry, immediately turned to Jack who was sitting beside Erick. "Okay, I''ll watch it on YouTube, but look here, sir, see what kind of show they rece my favorite show with."
Jack raised an eyebrow, then turned his head and stared at therge television behind Nichs. Jack''s eyes narrowed, trying to see more clearly.
"What''s that show? I can''t see clearly," Jack asked curiously.
"It was Chester Lloyd''s parents 50th wedding anniversary." Alice answered quickly. She deliberately spoke in a high pitched voice when she mentioned Chester''s name, the person Jack had just met this afternoon in the children''s y area with Anne.
"Is what Alice said true, Nick?" Jack asked quietly.
"Yes, it''s a wedding anniversary. Jeez, this is really annoying. They''re just ruining people''s moods," Nichs replied in annoyance. Nichs, who really liked fishing at the south pole, was annoyed when his favorite program was changed.
Seeing Nichs''s disappointed expression made Jack believe that his assistant was really upset right now. He then turned to Alice and gave a code to his secretary tofort Nichs. Alice, who understood the code given by the master, then got up from the sofa and rushed after Nichs who went to the garden beside where they were now.
Seeing Nichs who finally wanted to y a game with Alice made Jack smile. He then leaned back on the sofa while closing his eyes.
"Are you all right, sir?" Erick asked quietly.
Jack smiled. "Very well, I''ve never been this good, Erick."
"Have you made the decision to deter Giselle Allen?" Erick asked again.
"Well, I leave everything to Luis. It seems that asking Luis for help to convince Frederick to take care of his girlfriend was the right choice. As a well-respected former special police officer apparently made Frederick respect Luis so much. I hope, after this, Giselle will stop disturbing my household. Even though I don''t want to hurt her, I don''t want what I''m doing now that I''ll get my karma from Godter. My second child is a daughter, Erick. I don''t want her to get the impact of everything I do to women. I don''t want my daughter to get karma for what I''m doing now," Jack answered seriously, exining the reason why he didn''t want to be too strict with Giselle like he did with Sophia Higgins and her parents.
