2 The Child
As people started to gather around the lobby, people were curious because the child suddenly showed up and hugged a random employee.
Juliette kept her cool and asked, "What is your name, Little one?"
"Timothy."
"How old are you?" She asked.
"5 years old."
"Who is your father?"
"My father is the CEO." Juliette looked at Timothy and signalled one of the secretary.
"Do you know the CEO's contact information?" Since the office she works in belongs to the CEO, it was quite easy for them to find the information.
"Thank you." As the secretary handed Juliette the contact information.
-----
Since she wasn't allowed to directly contact the CEO, his assistant picked it up.
"Hello, this is CEO Darien's assistant. How may I help you?"
"Hi, my name is Juliette and I work at a office that is owned by the CEO. I found Timothy at my office." Juliette said.
"We will go there immediately. Thank you, Miss. Juliette."
The child still didn't let go. She thought, poor child, he must've thought I was his mother. Juliette hugged the child back gently.
"Timothy, how about we sit over there and wait for your father to pick you up?" Juliette held onto Timothy's hand and they waited for the CEO to pick his son up.
"Miss. Juliette, Thank you for taking care of Timothy. Mr.CEO is out waiting in the car. He would like to give you something. Please come with us." As they led her to the front parking, Juliette kneeled down and looked at Timothy, "Timothy, no matter what happens you need to listen to your father. Okay?" Timothy nodded and hugged Juliette. She smiled as Timothy went inside the car.
"Miss. Juliette, the CEO wanted to give you this note." Juliette said thank you as he waved them goodbye.
"Daddy, mommy is really pretty. When is she coming home with us?" Timothy looked at Darien.
"We need to wait. Okay?" Darien smiled.
"Clara, you came back. I am sorry." Darien looked out the window and thought about the past.
-----
As Juliette went back home, she thought about Timothy for almost two hours straight.
Oh right, she almost forgot to open the note from the CEO.
To Juliette,
Thank you for finding Timothy. I know this will sound strange to you but I am sure you are related to Timothy. That was why Timothy wanted to find you. Please come over to my office at this address tomorrow after your work."
Related to Timothy? She thought... why Timothy was related to her? She never had a child before. Juliette shook away this strange idea.
She thought about it again and decided to call her mother.
"Mom, it's me."
"Juliette! How are things lately?"
"Mom, I have a question. Was I ever pregnant before?"
Her mom paused...
"Uh... Juliette...Mom wasn't ever going to mention this but since you mentioned it... I guess I will tell you. Yes, you were pregnant before but it was already aborted. Something bad happened to you and you lost your memory because of the incident. Mom wanted to protect you so I didn't say anything." Juliette was speechless but since she really didn't remember anything about being pregnant... she thought Timothy could not have been her son. According to her mother, her previous child is dead.
