《Love on Top》Ch.48
Advertisement
It's been three weeks since I started back working at the office. At first it was a little hard, but I quickly got into the swing of things. Bridgette, from what I had been told by this floor's receptionist, had been running thing very smoothly while I had been gone and I thanked her for that by buying her lunch after she had told me, many times I might add, that I should award her for her hard work. I awarded her of course and she was so happy that she was in tears, literally. After years of knowing her, you'd think that I'd remember that she was a very emotional person when it came to nice gestures towards her.
At around lunch time when I was going over some files Bridgette had given me on this very important account, I heard the sound of laughter right outside my office. I recognized the laughter immediately as Daphne and Bridgette.
"I'll talk to you later, Bridgette. Let me go see what this annoying boss of yours is doing," Daphne said. Soon enough, the door to my office opened and in walked Daphne with Ajani strapped to her chest in his carrier. She closed the door behind her.
"Hello, Papa Bear," She walked over and kissed me on the cheek.
"Hello, Mama Bear. Hello, Baby Bear," I smiled at them both.
"What brings you two here?" I asked.
"We came to eat lunch with you, but it seems like you're busy, Papa Bear," She replied.
"Yes indeed, Mama Bear," I sighed.
"I guess Baby Bear and I will have to eat lunch alone," She said.
"Sorry," I said.
"It's fine. You'll just have to make it up to me later," She smiled.
"How about I make it up to you this Saturday at 8?" I suggested.

"That would be lovely," She replied.
"It's a date," I nodded.
"Alright. Cool. Let's go, Baby Bear. Papa Bear has to work today," Daphne said.
"Before you go, I need to tell you something," I informed.
"Oh my God. You're buying me those shoes I wanted," She squealed.
"Yeah," I smiled as she gasped,"No." She narrowed her eyes at me.
"I'm taking a business to Taiwan to check on our branch there. I'll be gone for a week," I informed.
"Aww. Really?" She whined.
"Yeah. I don't want to go either, but I have to," I replied.
"Well if you have to," She sighed.
"When I get back, I'll spend an entire day with you and Baby Bear," I told her.
"Okay," She beamed.
"I'll even bring back some presents for you two," I said.
"Oh so you can buy other things, but not the shoes I wanted," She remarked.
"Those shoes cost seven-hundred dollars," I deadpanned.
"Seven-hundred dollars of pure beauty," She added.
"If I buy the shoes, will you buy me want I want?" I asked.
"I thought you hated it when I spoiled you?" She smirked.
"I do, but since you're begging for things I might as well do it," I replied.
"You want those Nikes we saw that one time?" She questioned.
"Yep," I answered.
"Ugh. Fine," She said.
"Thanks, honey," I grinned.
"Yeah yeah," She waved me off.
"Since we're taking about buying each other things, I think Baby Bear deserves something too," I said.
"I already have something in my," Daphne said.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Well there's this little shirt that says Lazy Days that I really like along with this cardigan, pants, and cute little hat that will just put the whole thing together," She explained. Seeing her excitement over this one thing made me smile. My future wife has never looked more beautiful than she does now.

"Ooh! I was also thinking that when he's able to walk, we can all wear matching outfits one, which will be so cute," She gushed.
"Oh now you want to wear matching outfits?" I asked.
"Sam, I was not going to wear those damn couple shirts," She rolled her eyes.
"That really hurts my feelings," I poked out my bottom lip and gave a sad look.
"And so did those ugly ass shirts you picked out," She said.
"They went ugly," I replied.
"Sam, they were ugly," She told me.
"No they weren't," I argued.
"Sam. Sam. Sam," She said.
"Yes?" I asked.
"They. Were. So. Ugly," She responded.
"Sometimes you make me wonder," I narrowed my eyes at her.
"If I make you wonder, then maybe you should go back to your whiny, spoiled, rich ex-girlfriends who will only give you the time of day if you took them out shopping," She shot at me.
"That was a low blow," I pointed at her with my index.
"And so were those ugly couple shirts," She quipped. I made an offended noise that caused her to laugh.
"This is the last time I watch That 70's Show with you," She giggled.
"Nooo. I like watching it with you," I said. She giggled again.
"I bet you do," She said. I chuckled softly.
"So would you rather keep me company for the rest of the day or do you want to go home?" I asked.
"I'll stay here, but you have to go and eat lunch with me," She replied.
"Daphne-"
"Don't you 'Daphne, I have so much work' me, Samuel Zhang. You and I will go out for lunch or so help me God I will kick your ass," She calmly threatened with a smile.
"I'm just gonna put some distance between us," I scooted my chair away from her. The door opened and Bridgette walked in.
"What's going on in here?" Bridgette asked looking between us.
"I threatened to kick his ass if he didn't eat lunch with me," Daphne informed.
"Okay," She nodded.
"So you're just gonna stand there and nod while she threatens my wellbeing?" I asked.
"Pretty much. Here's the budget for the anniversary banquet we're having next week," She placed a folder on my desk with a sticky note on top.
"Oh yeah and that sticky note is the date and time for your meeting with Vargas Enterprises for next week," She informed me.
"Alright, Bridgette. Thank you," I said.
"You're welcome....." She smiled, ".....Dr. Pee-Pee." Her and Daphne both started cracking up at my suspense, along with Ajani who didn't even know what his mother was laughing at. It kind of stung to see my son at me like that, even though he can't comprehend a word I'm saying.
"Bridgette, I hate you. Get out," I said.
"Looks like Dr. Pee-Pee is mad," She teased. Her and Daphne began cracking up.
"Oh come on!" I exclaimed.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
