"Wait... You're giving it to me?" Kevin waspletely dumbfounded.

He had just been thrilled about getting a raise, and now the CEO was gifting him a house? A house in Quill Estate, no less! The homes there were massive, starting at 4,000 square feet. Kevin had once dreamt of living there but had quickly dismissed it as fantasy.

"Yes, as a reward," Everett nodded, a small smile on his face. "The missus mentioned you should start dating, but you said you wanted to wait because of housing issues. So, what choice did I have but to gift you one?" He glanced over at Dorothy, who winked at Kevin, "Take it, Kevin! The boss here has deep pockets; he won't miss it. Miss an offer like this, and who knows if the next Mrs. Lopez will be as generous!" "The next Mrs. Lopez?" Everett's ears pricked up at the hint of mischief in her words.

Dorothy nodded playfully, "Yeah, who says there'll only be one Mrs. Lopez at the helm of Lopez Corporation?" "Dorothy!" His voice turned stern as he pulled her close, "There's only one." e on, I was just joking." "I don't like those kinds of jokes." She sighed, "Alright, just one." Kevin found himself smirking, tasting what felt suspiciously like couple dynamics in the air.

Nighttime.

Whenever Everett wasn't caught up in international video conferences, he'd make it a point to tuck Abigail and Langston into bed himself. He wanted to make up for the fatherly love he hadn't been able to provide before, knowing well that sthings couldn't bepensated for. Still, it eased his conscience.

Abigail, after her bedtroutine, was already dozing off with her teddy bear in her arms. Exiting her room, Everett expected Langston to be asleep too, but upon opening his door- Langston was still up, glued to hisputer.

"It's past your bedtime," Everett said, ruffling his son's hair as he approached.

"Just a sec! My mentor is about to senda set of codes. I'll be done soon." Langston was too excited to notice his dad's growing concern.

"Your mentor? Byte 7?" "Yeah!" Langston nodded eagerly.

Everett narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts.

"Have you been in touch all this time?" "There was a while my mentor got really busy and didn't contactdidn't even know where to find him! It was only recently, with the new system, that he got back in touch." hovels Langston's excitement was palpable, oblivious to his father's darkening mood. Rivals seemed to lurk in every corner, not just Keh.

"Did he... ask about your mom?" Langston looked up, grinning mischievously, "Dad, how do you know everything? Did you sneak a peek at myputer?" "He always asks about mom. Last time, he even wantedto sneaket picture of her for him! I refused, so he stopped contactingfor days." Everett raised an eyebrow, "And then?" "So, I took the picture." "You're certainly my son," Everett said, his smile not reaching his eyes as he patted Langston's shoulder a bit too firmly, causing the boy to yelp. "Dad! That's bullying!" BAUMS "You dare spy on your mom for another man?! Miles Lopez, consider yourself lucky you're my son!" Everett was calling Langston by his full nnow, a clear sign of his fury.
