I Fell For The Boy His Daddy Was A Bonus

The next day, Kaleb was busy at work, listening to a new investment proposal from inside a conference room at the Wright Diamond Corporation.

 

He noticed his phone vibrating inside the pocket of his trousers, but considering how important the meeting was, he ignored the calls. After some time, however, the trunk line to the conference rang, disturbing the presentation.

 

Kaleb’s eyes narrowed, wondering how important it was for his assistant to forward the call. No one else knew about the meeting, except for his assistant, and of course, the CEO, his brother.

 

One of the managers took the call, and then he turned to Kaleb. “Mister Wright, it’s an emergency from the Third Diamond Hotel.”

 

‘Emergency?’ Kaleb took a second to grab the handset and another moment to scan the team of employees who were equally curious about the emergency. “Hello.”

 

“Mister Wright. I’m very sorry to disturb you, but we have a situation.” Kaleb was familiar with the voice of the hotel’s General Manager, Mister Stevens.

 

“What is it, Mister Stevens?” Kaleb said in his deep voice.

 

There was a sudden dead air, making Kaleb frown. The next thing he knew, he heard his son on the other line. “Daddy.”

 

Kaleb’s eyes grew wide. He marveled at how his General Manager became powerless over his six-year-old son. He asked, “Liam? Why did you use the emergency trunk line of the hotel?”

 

“Daddy, I’m not going to the doctor,” Liam revealed. “I ran to Mister Steven’s office because you did not answer uncle Boris’ calls. If you want me to go see my doctor, meet my demand.”

 

Kaleb groaned in annoyance. He did not need this right now, but his son’s vaccination had been postponed five times already. He shook his head and asked, “What is your demand?”

 

“I will only see the Doctor with my Beauty,” Liam finally said.

 

Silenced stretched between the father and son before enlightenment came into Kaleb. It was a perfect excuse to see Scarlett.

 

“Wait for me.” He answered.

 

After ending the call, he instructed his assistant to delay his son’s doctor’s appointment for another hour. Only after wrapping up his meeting did he leave to pick up Liam and then. Both left for the Herbal Twist Restaurant, with Boris driving them there.
