We've never even met the man.

As Mia left with the children, the small group of people at the corner table of the restaurant were amazed at how the President of F. Sky Corps could be so playful and jovial with the kids.

It seemed as if a new side of their president personality had been revealed, one that they had never seen before. They had always known him to be stoic and reserved, but here he was, laughing and smiling with the kids.

As if sensing the eyes on him, Xavier's face returned to its usual cold expression, and he headed towards the counter to collect his food.

As Mia drove home with the children, she couldn't help but feel intrigued by the encounter. There was something different about this man, something that set him apart from the usual image of him as a ruthless businessman. He seemed to have a softer side, a side that the world rarely got to see. And also, he looked a little bit familiar.

She looked at Ryan and saw the resemblance.

Wow!

As they pulled into the driveway, the kids rushed out of the car and ran towards their Lia who was heading towards them.

"Mommy, we've finally found us a daddy!" Rihanna exclaimed.

Lia laughed and scooped the children into her arms. "Who is this mysterious daddy you speak of?" she asked.

"Rihanna, you ruined the surprise!" Ryan said in mock anger, acting much more mature than his four years. "I wanted to get him for Mom as a birthday present."

Lia couldn't help but laugh at the children's antics, and turned to face her friend, Mia. "What are they saying?" she asked, curious to know what had the kids in such a tizzy.

"Oh, they were just saying that they met President Flynn of F Sky Corps, and they were planning on making him their father. Isn't that hilarious?" Mia said, laughing along with her friend.

"But I heard that the President of F Sky Corps is a very private person. Where did you see him? How do you know it was really him?" Lia asked, intrigued by the children's tale and at the same time surprised at her friend admission.

"You didn't know? Five years ago, he revealed himself to the media, though I'm not sure why. I guess he just wanted to put an end to all the rumors and speculation about him." Mia said, shrugging. "Let me pull up some photos of him so you can see what he looks like."

She scrolled through her phone for a while, but found nothing. "That's odd. I don't see any pictures of him," Mia said, perplexed. "He must have had them taken down. I heard he's very particular about what information about him is out there, and that he doesn't allow photographers to take pictures of him without his permission."

"I'm not really all that curious about him," Lia said, shrugging.

"Yes... I found something disturbing about him."

"And what's so disturbing that you found out about him?"

"I think the kids look like him," Mia said with a sly grin.

Lia laughed at the ridiculousness of the idea. "My kids? They look like him? You've got to be joking."

Mia continued to smirk. "I'm just saying, there's a resemblance. Maybe not an exact one, but they definitely share some features."

"Now you're just being silly, what's with people saying my children look like a stranger." Lia said, shaking her head. "Besides, even if they did look like him, it would just be a coincidence. I mean, we've never even met the man."
