Chapter 5: Hide
 

Heading back to the parking lot, Scarlett bit her lip at the sight of the splendid car. She pursed her lips and thought, ‘This may very be… my only chance to get a picture of this baby.’

 

Turning to Kaleb and Liam, she asked, “Can I possibly get a picture with the car?” She pouted and reasoned, “I really love this car. You have no idea how many times I’ve fantasized about this in the past.”

 

Kaleb smirked. He replied, “You love the car? How about…” He coughed, covering his mouth, and faintly resumed, “the owner?”

 

“What?” Out of excitement, Scarlett missed his last word.

 

Liam, however, heard it perfectly. He said to Scarlett, “My beauty, who do you love more, the car or me?”

 

Scarlett just could not help but be amused by the young man. She snorted as she laughed at his cute bluntness. She lowered her gaze and pinched his adorable cheek, saying, “Of course, you are the cute one. I’d choose you over the car on any day!”

 

Liam reflected a triumphant grin as if having won the battle, his eyes landing on his father. If he could keep a scorecard, he was sure he had already won the fight against his daddy.

 

As Scarlett took pictures of herself with the car, however, Kaleb came up with a bright idea, granting him the bigger win. He offered, “You know Scarlett, I have a 4K camera phone. Allow me to take the pictures and I’ll just forward them to you.”

 

“Oh, no, Mister Wright. You don’t have to. It’s very embarrassing,” Scarlett was quick to answer, feeling sheepish about having Kaleb Wright take her pictures.

 

Liam glared at his daddy, but despite the threatening glances of his son, Kaleb insisted, “I’ll forward them to you. I’m quite good at photography.”

 

It was true. Kaleb used to pose as a model when he was younger, and that was how he also learned photography. He never took the career seriously, though. When he had Liam, he realized further, that running the company with his brother was the better choice.

 

It gave him more freedom to be with his son and control over his time. If work was hectic, he would bring Liam into his office. His older brother, Kyle, was the same. That was how the Wright Diamond corporation opened up a small kid’s club at the office building itself.

 

Standing in front of his Knight XV, Kaleb’s chest swelled with pride as he took not just one, but ten perfect photos of Scarlett. Two of them, he meant to keep only for himself.
