Taking the call, Katherine said, "Hay Ruby, is there any problem?" Katherine asked a little worried.
Hearing that, Ruby said, "Well there isn't any problem is just that I don't think I'll be able to pick the boys today!"
"What! why? Did something happen?" Katherine voiced out worriedly.
"Well my boss had just given us a work and I'm currently on a car straight to 'Rusland' And I don't know when I'm gonna be back and it can take a week." Ruby voiced out.
Upon hearing all what Ruby said, Katherine mind was in a daze, "But I'm at work, how will I get the boys.. I don't know anyone else in Graceland and David said he won't be here in a few days time."
"I don't know what you can do Katherine but If I wanna suggest something, I say you ask your boss for permission to leave... I'm sure he would understand." Ruby said at the other line.
Hearing that, Katherine kept quiet for sometime before then saying, "I'll think about it....just call me when you have reached your destination. Have a safe trip." saying that, Katherine hanged up and a soft sigh escaped her lips as a disappointed expression took over.
But she was jacked back to life by the voice of Mike, "Are you done with your call? the food is here!"
Hearing that, Katherine said, "Ah! Oh! ok I'll be there in a minute." she said and upon hearing that, Mike nodded and went back to his seat.
Katherine couldn't help but wonder whether he heard her or not but what was mostly occupied in her mind was how she was gonna get her boys from school.
After sometime, she went back to her seat And ate her food but Mike could tell that her mood had changed and her mind wasn't really focused on the meal.
After their silent meal, they paid the waitress and went back to the car.
Entering the car, this time Katherine drove while Mike sat at the back with some files in his hands as he went through them thoroughly.
Meanwhile, Katherine just focused on her driving although she was very worried right now. Just then, The deep voice of Mike was Heard, "Which school does your boys attend?"
He asked and upon hearing that, Katherine widened her eyes in confusion, "Pardon sir?"
"I asked which school does you boys attend?" Mike said once more and Katherine then answered hesitantly, "Victorious Middle school."
Hearing that, Mike said, "What a coincidence, my daughter also attends the same school."
"You mean Annabel?" Katherine asked a little taken aback.
She wasn't expecting the daughter of a rich billionaire like him to attend a school that she sons attended.
"I'll inform my driver to pick your boys up when picking my daughter and they will take the kids to my daughter's nanny to stay for the day." Mike said and upon hearing that, Katherine's eyes widened in shock.
"Sir y-you...w-why do you say that, how did you know that I was having problems with that?" Katherine asked and upon hearing that, Mike smiled slightly.
"Sorry to say this but I overheard your conversation with your friend so I just decided to help and Anyway I understand you. Being a single mother isn't easy." Mike said.
"Having to balance your work and taking care if your children, not every person can do that...so assisting you a little bit isn't that bad is it.. So don't worry, leave the boys to me" Mike continued.
Hearing all what Mike had said, Katherine felt completely touched, "Thank you very much sir, I really don't now how to thank you."
"You can thank me by staring at the road so we won't have an accident." he said with a laugh and upon hearing that, Katherine laughed along with him.

Meanwhile, in a nice big living room...a woman in her late fifty's could be seen watching a movie as she crossed her legs in a fabulous way.
She looked both elegant and moderate. Coming into the living room was a tall man with the most handsome black hair and green eyes.
He looked exceptional and was a full definition of handsome. He wore a nice black shirt which made his muscles a little visible but he was screaming hot!
Taking a seat beside his mother, David said, "Hay mom! enjoying your movie." he asked.
Upon seeing her son, Doris said, "Oh Darling, it's ok... speaking of which, have you sort everything out with your uncle?" she asked.
Hearing that, David said, "Yes everything is sorted out, next week I'll be on a plane straight back to Graceland to see the old man."
He said with a slight smile. Hearing that, Doris said, "Oh I'm gonna miss you, the house will become boring once more but just make sure you bring a daughter in-law for me and I'll be fine."
"Mom! that again, why are you bugging me Soo much about that." David said to his mom as he pouted his lips like a child.
"What do you mean by that, don't you know that I'm not getting any younger, I wanna see my grandchildren before I die so do make that happen." She said and upon hearing that Mike laughed a little.
"Don't worry Mom! I already have a woman in mind to make my mind Soo you don't have to stress yourself. I have to go now, talk later." And with that, he stood up, kissed his mother on the cheek and left.
'Wait for me Katherine, I'm coming to Graceland soon'
