“It’s almost done.” Silas recalled about the record he had went through the other day.
Shane lifted his head. “Great. Once that is settle, arrange a day and invite the department heads over for a meeting.”
“Understood. Is there anything else, Mr. Shane?”
“Nothing for now.”
“In that case, I’ll take my leave.”
Just as he took a few steps towards the door, Shane called out to him, “Wait.”
“Is there anything else?” Silas went back to his side.
While fiddling restlessly with his fountain pen, Shane asked, “What do I have to prepare when meeting with my girlfriend’s parents? Is there anything I should say?”
Although he had met Yulia in the past, their relationship was at most acquaintances who exchanged pleasantries. And toward acquaintances, his attitude was generally indifferent. But this was different. After all, he would be meeting his future mother-in-law. This was a first for him, and he was at a loss of what to do.
Silas was momentarily baffled by his question. Never in his wildest dream did he expect an omnipotent man like Shane would be troubled over such ordinary matters.
In the past, Silas saw him as an aloof and out-of-reach figure, but nowadays, it seemed that his boss was acting more like a human being. This change was only possible after he fell in love with Natalie.
“Has Ms. Smith’s mother returned?” Silas threw a question at him instead of answering his question.
“Daddy! What’s inside the bag?” Sharon took the question right off her mother’s mouth. As for Connor, although he remained silent, he was also observing the bag keenly.
Through his rear mirror, Shane saw their wide-eyed and curious expressions. He unknowingly smiled at this adorable sight. “I don’t know. Silas bought it.”
Natalie pursed her lips. “You don’t know what you got for my mom?”
Isn’t he afraid if Silas got something weird? She kept her thoughts to herself so as not to dampen his efforts. At least he tried, I guess.
Not long later, the family of four arrived at the restaurant. Natalie held Connor’s hand while Shane carried Sharon in his arms. As they walked in, their dazzling looks commanded the attention of everyone on the floor.
