Grabbing his hand, she stopped him, "No Sebastian, Nelly has taken her portion of her breakfast and you can't escape yours."
"Holy moly, mom we ain't kids anymore, we are adults and we know how to soothe our appetite." He whined.
"The box is still waiting Mr Sebastian Flynn."
Grumbling and puffing his cheeks, Sebastian had no choice but to take the box from her or else a fresh slap will dash out of nowhere and land on his face.
Lifting herself on her toes, she pecked his forehead, "That's mummy's boy, now make sure you finish the whole of it, okay?" Without waiting for his reply, she excused herself into the kitchen to continue her chores.
Staring at the box for couples of times, he sighed and left.

Seoul, South Korea
Hospital
"Oh my, what about the tiger, did he got the post?" An eight year old female patient beamed.
Chung-Cha vigorously shook her head, "No way how will he get the post after murdering the king's adviser."
"What a pity,"
"Yeah, its such a pity, but do you know what happened to him?" When she vigorously nodded, she whispered, "King lion asked all the animals to stone him to death."
Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, "He died mysteriously." She gasped.
"Yes sweetheart, that shows a very big lesson to all the other animals in the kingdom." She chuckled. Unknowing to Chung-Cha that Dong-Hyun leaned beside the door with his arms crossed, busy listening to the entire story from beginning to end.
Caressing the little girl's chubby cheek, she smiled, "Guess who became the new king's adviser."
Placing her little index finger beside her mouth, she tried to think, "Umm–the antelope."
"No dear, the antelope is the most attractive meat amongst the animals and if he became an adviser, he will be murdered by some mysterious animals too."
"So who became the adviser?"
"The tortoise," She beamed.
"Ahh, I love tortoise because they're the wisest animals on earth." She squealed.
"Dr Kim, your attention is needed." A voice from afar said.
Chung-Cha quickly turned around only to notice a fresh absence of someone just left. She stood up and made her way towards the door.
Contemplating for a while when she saw him walking alongside with another doctor in the passage way.
"Was he here?" Walking into the ward, "Sweetheart, did you see anyone watching or listening to us a while ago?"
Vigorously nodding her head, the girl remarked, "No Aunty nurse, there was no one here except the both of us."
"Okay," Pausing for a while, she excused herself, "I'll be right back, okay?"
"Okay Aunt nurse."

Flynn International Group
Nelly's office
"I love her, she use to care way too much."
Helplessly shoving the fork of steak into her mouth, Nelly shook her head, "You mean forcing her kids to have breakfast before leaving."
"Uh huh, that's number one priority, a mother is expected to care for her kids more than themselves." Scanning through the file, Anastasia added, "You know, when I get pregnant, I'll care for my babies more than myself."
Nelly rolled her eyes and groaned, "Please keep that for future purpose, Ryan is not ready to have a baby right now."
Crossing her arms, she pouted her lips, "If I may ask, who told you that? We've been dating for four years now so its obvious a baby might come in anytime."
"You want to have a baby before your wedding?" Nelly gasped.
"Why not?" Dramatically flicking her hair backwards, "It not a big deal, right?"
"Of course it not." She scoffed, "But its more likely to get married first."
Lifting her left finger up, "Can you see this little shiny thing tied up around my finger."
Nodding her head, Nelly beamed, "Yes baby, and it says this is Ryan's fiancee."
"Very good, I guess you understood the similarities between being engaged and being married." She grinned.
"Yeah I do,"
Keeping quiet for a while, "I really missed Tasha."
"Yeah girlfriend, but she went on a honeymoon with her lovely husband Donald." Closing her eyes, Nelly took a deep breath Luke she travelled into the imaginary world, "I wish Calvin could fix our wedding date tomorrow."
Flicking her head, Anastasia raised her brows, "Hey ma'am, please wake up from your slumber. Things don't just work out that way."
"Of course it does, if only a fairy godmother could cast an instant concluding spell."
"Yeah I know, right?"

Sebastian's office
Handing the stack of documents to him, "Cross check it properly before bringing it back."
Flipping through the pages, Ryan gasped, "God-damn, this dude wants to sentence me to an early grave when am not ready for one."
"Pardon?"
"Pardon Mr Flynn, I don't want to die early. Geez, look at these grumpy documents grinning at me like donkeys." He snapped.
Sebastian furrowed his brows, "What's that supposed to mean? These are the documents which are supposed to be at your office before coming to mine."
Taking a deep breath, Ryan pulled the chair out and sat down, "Fine I know, but how did they got here?"
"I think Anastasia made a missed up somewhere." Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed and started glancing through other documents, "Well, I guess she ate too much last night."
Grinning from ear to ear, Ryan praised himself, "Yeah, all thanks to me for feeding her like a baby monster."
Scrunching his brows, Sebastian gave him an irritated look, "Eww, get outta my office Mr shameless jerk."
"Do you remember Camila Cabello's song 'Shameless'?" Licking his fingers, "The lyrics were actually talking about Mr Ryan Flynn."
"Thank goodness you used yourself as a referee." Sebastian scoffed without taking his eyes off the document he was reading.
"Not bad after all, you also have your part in the lyrics." When Sebastian narrowed his eyes at him, he let out an awkward chuckle, "Hehe, what I meant was my part. Yes my part."
Ignoring him, he helplessly shook his head and focus on the articles, "When you're done, please bring them in, we'll be using them for the next meeting after lunch."
"Hang on a sec, where the hell is Liam? He's supposed to bring in the illustration before noon." He frowned.
"I transferred him to the other branch." He blandly remarked.
Widening his eyes in shock, "For what reason man?" Without waiting for his response, Ryan frowned, "Okay I know I don't like him either but you shouldn't have posted him somewhere else."
Keeping quiet for a long time, he tossed the document aside and leaned back on the swirling chair. "Ryan let me ask you a simple question, that's if you don't mind."
"I don't mind, go on." Ryan crossed his arms on the desk.
"If you notice aunt laura crying out of the blue, what would you do?"
"Why would my mom cry outta the blue?" He frowned confusedly. When Sebastian raised his brows, he added, "Alright fine, the first thing I'll do is to ask what happened."
"Impressive," Clasping his hands on the desk, "That's in the shoe of my mom."
Ryan gave him a quizzical look, "I don't understand what you meant by that bro."
Tapping his fingers on the desk, "What I meant is this, I overheard mom crying at midnight and when I went to see her, her eyes were swollen and red. So I asked what happened and she told me she had a severe nightmare of Mr Grayson Flynn beating her to stupor."
Last night Petra had a terrible nightmare of Grayson hitting her mercilessly out of the mystery. When Sebastian heard her loud wail, he ran to her aid only to hear her justify that his father almost killed her in a dream.
But it was just an ordinary nightmare, Grayson could be cold and hot tempered but he has never raised his hands on a woman not even on any of his kids.
Sebastian got angry and super freaked out to the extent when he got to the office, he instructed Liam's head of department to restrict him out and divert him to the other branch which was a hundred and sixty mile away from the present.
"Woah, its not surprising to me that you addressed uncle Grayson as Mr Grayson Flynn."
"That's because he's not my father. He is a stranger perhaps an ordinary man." He scoffed, When Ryan gave him a weird look, he furrowed his brows, "Do you have a problem with that?"
"Huh, a prob–" Vigorously nodding his head, he chuckled, "No I don't. By the way, I love the sound of that good news, this is the type of news I love hearing every morning."
"Oh you mean I should fire you as well or just make a distance transfer."
Widening his eyes in shock, he gritted his teeths, "You'll do no such thing Mr Flynn."
Sebastian chuckled when he saw Ryan's wide eyes, "You look frightened when I said that, right?"
