Chapter 36: Chapter 36

After the attempt to make Naomi Kate's enemy failed, Cynthia chose something else but it was still in progress. She was certain Naomi won't be able to escape from it.

Thus she flipped the newspaper to see the latest on the front page.

Alvin's port has been sold out including his subways and airports.

She wanted to scream at him for being so reckless but there was little she could do.

It was necessary.

Well, she wasn't the only one cos David was throwing a tantrum at Logan for making him lose millions of dollars.

" I thought you said we were the highest bidder"

" Yes Sir"

" Then what happened? Why isn't it mine? I need those ports. Find the bastard that took it away from me" he snapped clutching his collars to prove its importance.

' I'll do my best Sir. I'm sorry Sir"

' sorry for yourself. What about the spy I sent after Kate? What's she up to lately? I hardly see her"

" The spy said she met Alvin Reagan, Carla Lorenzo, and Colton. He didn't specify. I guess she's still looking for her son" David hummed releasing his necktie then dropped it on the chair.

" Whatever. Just fix things. This is bad for business"

" Yes sir"

" What about Simon's whereabouts have you found it?

" Not yet. My boys are scouring the country for him. He can't hide forever"

" Is there nothing you can do right? What's happening to you Logan? Perhaps I should make that new guy my right-hand man" he stated watching as his face shrunk in distress.

' no? Then do your job. Get out of here" he yelled then sighed.

" I need some bitches tonight. Get it done and please be fast about it" he ordered as Logan curt nod trailing off to get it done.

After the get-together with Carla and her family, Kate was indeed welcomed into their family thus accepted Carla's request to pick Pamela from school.

Unknowingly to her that it was fate at work.

There she was leaning beside the car waiting for Pamela to exit the gate but what she didn't expect was Quinn tagging along and the little boy seemed to know what he wanted as he showed her his twenty-two teeth stretching his hand for a handshake.

" Good day ma'am. It's a pleasure to meet Pamela's mother" Pamela veered around suddenly in shock but Kate chuckled touching his chin.

" That's nice but I'm not her mom. What a cutie" she complimented dazed by his fine physiques. It was too much for a little boy.

" oh boy, my bad. I'm Quinn by the way. Pamela and I are buddies" he introduced staring at her closely while Kate tilt her head in adoration.

" Where do you live? I can give you a ride home" she suggested. Pamela was about to refute but he spoke first.

" I'll love that. Pamela your aunt is such a beauty. Why haven't I seen her?

" You can discuss while in the car," she tells him as he nods entering the car while Pamela looked confused wondering what the wealthy spoiled brat was up to then entered the car.

" I arrived a few weeks ago anyway. Where do you live?

" Not that far. I'll signal you when I get there. If I may ask will you come to pick Pamela up Tomorrow? She chuckled amused by his chatty demeanor.

" Do you want me to? He nods scooting closer to her while Kate ruffled his hair giggling.

" Fine. You have a phone, right? Call me whenever you want a ride but getting your parents consent will be a problem"

" They won't mind. Dad is always busy. I doubt if he'll know" he said truthfully giving her the puppy eyes but Kate got lost at the mention of a father without the mom.

" And your Mom? His eyes gleamed but looked away from her.

" She left when I was a baby. Dad said she is not coming back ever" he reveals with anticipation but what he saw were pity and sadness then she smiled.

" You're lucky to be Pamela's friend. We can hang out sometimes that is if your dad agrees"

" I don't need his permission as long as I go home early. So where are we going? Kate sought Pamela's eyes which were drowsy from loneliness.

Kate has stolen her cute friend.

Beauties are dangerous' she sneered turning her back on her.

" Pam, c'mon I'll take you anywhere name it" Kate coerced as she screamed in ecstasy smiling from ear to ear.

" Amusement park. I've never been there. Dad said it's too expensive"

' you're going and I'm taking you but unless I speak with Quinn's dad. Here's my number. Tell him to call me" she tells him handing him a complimentary card

" Kate Patterson? He asked testing waters. He was right.

" Yes that's me" he smiled hugging her while she soften at his gesture holding onto him.

" You're so adorable" his eyes subconsciously darted to the wristwatch and panicked.

Colt would have arrived at the school to pick him up thus he texted him his location.

He was shocked to see Colt's car at the corner of a building watching.

" Pullover. I'm home. Thanks for the lift. Bye Pamela' he appreciated exiting the car while Kate waved at him.

" Be careful okay? And don't forget to wait for me tomorrow"

" Yes ma'am' he bellowed shutting the car door. She waved at him again then the car sped off leaving an excited but worrisome Quinn at Colt's Mercy.

He took a last glance back in content.

At last, he had met his mother.

But frowned as he approached Colton's car.

' get in the car. No one can ditch me. No matter how smart you are" he lowered his head in shame trailing to the back seat to sit down.

" I'm sorry please don't tell Dad about it" Colt Humm stepping on the brake pedal then drove off.

Do you know what is happiness!

Happiness is when Colt kept everything a secret.

Quinn was the happiest person in the world for speaking to his mother though he was dying to tell her everything.

He couldn't. He respected Alvin's decision.
