"h.e.l.lo, Rona."

"Cliff, can we talk later, I have something to ask you." He heard seriousness from her voice.

"About what? Can we talk about it over the phone?" he said looking at his watch.

"Uh nope. Let's just meet if you're no longer busy."

"Is it important?"

"I guess it is. I don't want to talk about it over the phone, because I want to see your reaction if I asked you the possibility of it." Clifford creases his right brow.

"Later, bye!" he was then baffled about his sisters actions. But then he shrugged about it thinking that maybe it is one of her pranks.

Cliff on his way to his office suddenly heard a child's cry; he furrowed his brows and looked where the sound came from. In a little corner he saw child trembling while sitting on the carpeted floor, buried his face on his knees and his hands wrapped around it. He thought that it maybe it is one of the employees child wandering and got lost.

"Child, why are you here?" the boy then looked and stared at him, and he stretched out his arms to be embraced by him and said,

"Daddy!"

...

Rona detected that the two boys were quiet, so she went to the room where they played earlier, only to find out that it was empty and the toys were scattered. The pounding of her chest started. She hurriedly went outside to look for them. She saw her child looking confused and was teary eyed.

"Oh Tristan, where have you been?" her voice quaked with a little fear.

"Clark and I were playing hide and seek. I was the one to look for him, but mom–" the boy started to cry.

"Ssshhh, please tell mom what happened first." She cradled him and went back to the office first. The boy hiccupped while telling his mom about what happened.

"after I-I co-counted o-one t-to th-thirty, I-I l-looked f-for C-Clark," he paused and took a deep breath. "...and I-I co-could not f-find h-him mom.. waahhhhh" the boy again cried.

"Hush now, we will look for him okay?" the boy just nodded.

She called the security personnel and instructed to look at the CCTV cameras around the executive offices and looked for a boy.

...

'Daddy?!' an overwhelming sensation rushed through the CEO's body and was even shock upon seeing the boy's face, wet with tears and his eyes were puffed up. His emotions were in chaos upon seeing the child in a mess. In the spur-of-the-moment he bent and carried the child in his arms. The child still trembling and cried silently.

Without any second thought, he brought the child in his office.

"Good morning, Mr. Briggs." The secretary greeted. Then her eyes widen when she saw the CEO cradling a child.

"Bring me some snacks for the child, please." The secretary could not get a glimpse of the child's face because he hid in the CEO's chest. She noticed that the two have the same color of the hair.

When he entered his office, the child was already fast asleep, then he lay him gently on the sofa not to awake him. He took a wet tissue and gently wipes it on the boy's face. He look so innocent and peaceful in his sleep. He again took notice of their resemblance, the color of their hair, the eyes, same frame of the face and nose except that his lips were not the same as his.

A small knocked takes him back to his senses. His secretary is carrying a tray of a healthy snack, coffee for him and a cup of milk for the child.

"Is there anything you want, sir?" the secretary took a stolen glance at the boy, but she could not since his body is blocking it.

"Thanks, you can go now." He said when he sensed that the secretary wants to take a glimpse of the boy. He again looked at the boy and touched his face and sighed deeply.
