Jack holding their son, and Tatiana beside them walked into the room where Alex's birthday was held.
Patricia walked up to them with Eric, "Hi you two, always making a late entrance" she said.
Tatiana laughed, "Traffic was terrible, is the party already started"
"No, Alex isn't here yet," she said.
They moved to their table, "How are you and the baby?" Tatiana asked her friend.
"He is kicking now," Patricia said.
Tatiana gently rubbed her friend's belly, "I hope he comes soon we are looking forward to meeting him" she said.
"Tatiana" someone called her. They turned to see Sam walk up to them, he was with his fiance. "You're here already" he smiled.
Jack and Eric frowned gazing at him.
"Nice to see you again," he said to them. The two friends gave him a nod and didn't answer.
"Honey meet my two best friends from high school and their partners" he introduced.
"A pleasure meeting you" she smiled. Tatiana and Patricia replied.
"She is so beautiful" Patricia commented.
"I know I saw her last time and I was proud of you Sam," Tatiana said.
He laughed holding her waist, "Thank you glad you like her".
The music stopped, and they announced Alex's arrival.
"We will chat later then," Sam said walking to his table.
"See you," his fiance said.
Jack glanced at Tatiana can you both not smile like that when he appears in front of you both "
"I agree," said Eric.
"Mom, a smile is no "Gabriel muttered.
"Even your son agrees with us, "said Jack.
"You three men should stop being... Ouch... "Patricia exclaimed touching her belly... Eric moved to her side," What's wrong? "
"He kicked me, and not the good playful ones but the painful, "she said
"I guess he agrees with us too "Eric chuckled rubbing it.
Patrica scowled pushing his hand away," Get off me, I think you men should keep your distance from us now "
Grabbing Tatiana's hand they walked off to welcome Alex.
....
"You look so beautiful to be twenty-eight "Patricia smiled. Alex laughed," I will be taking that as a compliment" as she took her gift.
Tatiana got closer," Ignore her, just because she's younger than us that's why she saying all that "
"Well tonight I and Tatiana will be drinking while someone won't, "she said. They both grabbed their glasses.
Patricia frowned," Now you both mocking me, it's not fair "
"Then run to your husband and cry, "said Tatiana.
Patrica pouted and walked off.
Alex turned to Tatiana," Why did you send her off "
"Because I don't want her to be stressed in her condition "she answered.
"The investigation showed Sam and Donald are facing financial issues with the company, after secretly having a meeting with Eric's father then Donald called in his Sam," Alex said.
"So they are planning something, and Sam knows about it, "she said
"I think so, his brother must know your connection to Sam so he called him. And since he been our biggest competitor I guess it's about his issue now "Alex said.
Tatiana sighed," What exactly do they want from us? Does Eric's father still want Patricia to die? If so why is he working with Donald and Sam is there something we don't know about them "
"Now keep an eye on him," Alex said.
"I would if he wasn't engaged and I also have a jealous stalker, Jack "Tatiana pointed out.
Alex laughed," For now the only problem is Jack cause for Sam that woman his with isn't his fiancee just an escort he picked up to play that part"
"What?! "Tatiana exclaimed.
"Yes, your not the only one who can play the fake fiancee game "Alex commented.
Tatiana chuckled as her eyes gazed at Sam and his fake fiancee.
