~FIVE YEARS LATER ~
Everything has changed. Lauren Quinn is back to herself. Few people had forgotten about Ethan baker and had moved on.
Lauren drove her Range Rover across the Linde Plc building. She pulled up and stepped out of the vehicle. She adjusted her shade glasses and walked to the other side of the car. Her son sat down smiling as he ate his burger.
“Won’t you finish that up quick? You’re going to be late for school”
“Mom…
There is no way I can finish this huge burger with my small little mouth”
Ethan said and threw the rest pieces of the burger into the ground.
“Hey, pick that up…
You are not going to show that your attitude and your nuisance here at my workplace”.
“Mom…
Am late, who is taking me to school, or am gonna call Dad to pick me up instead”
Her son replied rudely. Lauren just sighs. Ellie came out of the building with security walking behind her.
“Morning, Ellie…
Thank God you are here”
Lauren heave a sigh of relief.
“You know about the meeting I have right now with those clients.
“Yes
Do you need to take Ethan to school?
Ellie said.
“Yes, thank you”
There is no time anymore, am going to be late for the meeting”
Lauren replied.
“Okay.
I can do that”
Ellie smiled and collected the car keys.
“I will also get to chitchat with my little friend”.
Ellie faced Ethan who was busy with his phone.
“Hey, little boy…
Change of plans, am taking you to school”
Ethan dropped his phone and looked at Ellie and back at his mum.
“Gosh, Miss Ellie”
He sighs.
Ellie smiled and stepped into the car. Lauren closed the car door for Ethan and Ellie drove away.
Lauren looked at the ground where Ethan threw his burgers. She saw how the ground was being littered.
“No, it’s okay boss
I will call the cleaners to take care of it”
The security man said.
“Alright, thank you… I have to rush to the meeting now”
She replied and rushed into the building.

(West Sussëx, Beverly Hills)
Ellie stopped the car in front of his school.
Ethan took his backpack after removing his seat belt.
“Won’t you say thank you?”
Ellie asked.
“Thank you, Mrs. Ellie
He replied and got out of the car and rushed down to meet his friends.
“Play gentle, please..”
Ellie said.
“I will miss Ellie, you can go now”
You are embarrassing me”
He replied gesturing her to get going.
Ellie smiled and drove away.
“Wonder why he is always rude, he must get the bad character from his father”
She muttered.
🧩(Back at Linde Plc)🎲
Lauren’s office.
Ellie was working on a file on Lauren’s table when Lauren walked in tired.
“Those Indians can never be satisfied with any business idea”
Lauren said.
“They always want to know how the business is going to make them rich and not how the business will help both the community and themselves”
“Sorry about that…
Indians and Pakistans, oh gosh they are hard to engage business with”
I understand your pain, Lauren”
“Anyway, is Ethan in school now? Hope he didn’t give you any problem?”
“No, not at all…
I can handle a five-year-old kid and even way more than that”
Ellie smile.
Ethan might seem rude and mean, but he is a good kid”
She said as she walked toward the door.
“Oh please, he is not. I live with him every day”
She said.
“To me, he is…
Ellie shrugged and walked out.
******
She walked into the administration office. Stephan and Jessica were busy with a docvment on their computer system.
Ellie looked at the two of them.
“Who should I give this file to, to work on it?
It seems you two are busy”
“You can hand it over the Jessica… She has extra hands and she is extra fast in work situations”
Stephan said.
“Don’t listen to him, you can give it to him, he is the head of this department now that Ethan isn’t here
Jessica replied.
“Yeah …I miss him”
Ethan is a workaholic in this type of situation”
“Alright, fine…
Let me have it, Ethan isn’t the only person who has worked very hard for Linde Plc”
Stephan said and grabbed the file from Ethan’s hands.
“Alright, Thanks Stephan”
She replied.
“So, Miss Ellie, how about the new recruit?
Someone is going to replace Ethan’s position someday, it’s been five years now… We still need a helping hand in this department”
Jessica said.
“I already talked about it with Lauren several times but she doesn’t want a new recruit. She believes no one can replace Ethan. Only she and I know what great things Ethan has done for Linde Plc before his death. What lengths did he go to to save this company”
“So, his position can’t be messed it
Jessica replied.
I understand now”
“Yeah…
Only someone who is like Ethan, who is considerate like him, puts the company before himself, and works diligently like him can be able to replace him.
But we’ve found no one yet”
Ellie replied.
“Well, they should be fast about it… We need an extra hand here”
Stephan said.
“Give the company three years”
Ellie smiled and walked out.
Stephan was not satisfied with her answer.
“Three long good years?
Jessica, we have to wait patiently…
Understand the company can’t just hire anybody randomly without truly knowing the person well”
Stephan shrugged.

(Lauren’s residence)
Ethan came out of the vehicle smiling happily and rushed inside. Lauren smiles as she watches him.
“Watch how you run, Ethan…
Don’t fall and injure yourself”
“It’s fine. Mom.
He said before walking inside.
“I guess, he missed his dad so much”
She muttered before following him inside.
*****
Ethan rushed to Alex who was in the living room.
“Dad, am home”
He tossed his backpack somewhere and rushed to hug Alex. Alex received him warmly and threw him in the air. Ethan giggles and ends up in his father’s arms again.
Lauren just watch them.
“What’s up little James?”
Alex asked.
“Dad… My name is Ethan, not James”
He replied.
“James is your second name.
Alex said.
Ethan nodded in disagreement.
“I already told you, he doesn’t like the name, James”
Lauren said and walked to pick up the backpack Ethan tossed away.
“James starts with a letter J, I don’t like it”
Ethan said.
“Why?
“Junior is the last person in my class and his name always comes last in everything, test submission, and assignment because almost everyone’s name starts with the letter A and letter E*
“Wow.. so no one has a name from the letter K to Z”
Alex asked.
“Yes…
“Alright, I will call you Ethan then, I don’t want my son to be the last name in school”
“Thanks, Dad…
He hugged him.
“Alright, am going to prepare dinner, Ethan can eat cereals till dinner is done”
Lauren said.
“There is no need for that, I already prepared dinner”
Alex replied.
Lauren was surprised.
“Wow… Thank you”
“Am supposed to, I was home throughout today, so.
I have to be useful”
He replied.
“You can go have some rest, I help Ethan with his assignment”
“Alright.
Lauren said and walked to her bedroom. She walks to her bed and collapses tiredly on it.
Her mind went to Alex again in a few seconds.
“Why has he been sweet this past few weeks?
She thought.
“That’s because he is still in love with you”
Her inner mind said.
She shrugged it off and undressed to take a cold bath. She checked her phone time. It’s 5 pm.
“Okay…
I still have a lot of time before the bar is opened”
She smiled and walked into the bathroom. Ethan began to scream and laugh very loudly. Alex also joined as they laughed after cracking a joke.
Lauren could hear them, she just smiled.
She put on the shower as the cold water runs down her body. She got in the bathtub and filled herself with more cold water.
Ethan’s laughter continues.
If I finally find Ethan’s father, am never gonna release Ethan to him.
He doesn’t deserve Ethan anymore”
She thought as her mind was at peace.

~(Unknown location)~
“The boy is safe for now, sir…
I don’t think anyone is planning harm on him, not even Mr George”
He said and bowed.
“Alright, keep watching him…
Mr. George can attack at any time”
Sure…
I will make sure the child is safe from danger”
He added.
TBC…
Lauren named her son in remembrance to Ethan baker.. 👏
