At K&K Headquarters :

A man dressed in an expensive Armani, a limited edition Rolex on the wrist and shiny black shoes, sat at the head of the table going through the pages of the project that was being presented.

But his expression kept getting worst as he kept turning pages. His jaw clenched. He looked up slowly at the man presenting.

The two men on his right and left also noticed the problem, their reaction was the same as the first one.

No one else noticed the problem, except the man at the end of the table, who was the partner-in-crime of the one presenting.

What in the world were they even thinking before bringing such a project to the table?!

That too in front of the Kane brothers. Basically the royalty in the world of Finance and Real Estates!

The man sitting at the head of the table simply folded the folder and then lit it up with his lighter. Several gasps were heard in the room and the one presenting stopped.q

Once the raging flames were up to the top, he dropped it in the bin next to the wall, then looked up and clapped.

Shivers went down the spines of every single member sitting in the conference room. Everyone visibly straightened up.

"Keep presenting. Go ahead." The man said and leaned back in his chair.

Silence shrouded the room. It was so chilly in the room, that people almost held their breaths, in the fear of making a sound and being the one getting killed.

"Was this property checked thoroughly? Were there any problems? Was it given a go from the environmental office? What about the green belt? What information do you have on the owners?" The man asked and he was answered in silence.

Just when he was about to snap, the door opened.

"Daddy, Daddy," came a sweet voice of the fluff ball running in and jumping straight into his Daddy's arms.

"Careful, love." The man's voice softened as he held the boy in his arms and kissed his head.

"Get it fixed by tomorrow. Meeting adjourned." The man stood up with the boy in his arms and left the room.

The two men followed him as well. No one said a word until they were in the office.

"Alright, what is my Bunny doing here? No school today?" Asked one of the two men.

"Uncle Declan, I missed Daddy, so I came here to give him a kiss." The little boy spoke and then held his Dad's face in his tiny hands and placed a kiss on his nose tip.

"Daddy, you do the same." The boy demanded, and all three men chuckled.

The man holding him also placed a kiss on the little one's nose tip and then leaned his forehead onto the boy's.

"Daddy missed you too, my love. But Daddy's got work, right? And my baby doesn't wake up so early. I wish you can sleep more as you are still little and young." The man coaxed his little one.

"Come on, let's all go drop our baby to school." Declan suggested, and the others agreed.

"Mase, you wanna drive?" Declan asked and threw his keys to the other man.

"Cool, why not? Let's go drop our baby to work." Mase replied, and all of them left together.

At The Little Angels School & Nursery:

August had just reached the school. He parked his car and got out. Once he left the parking, a little boy came running and hugged his leg.

"Mr. Sage, good morning." The boy smiled, looking up at him.

August's heart skipped a beat, and he felt overwhelmed as the memories from his past life came flooding in. His memories about this little one also became clear to him.

August lifted him up in one hand as his other hand held his bag and coffee.

"Hello there, good morning to you. But what have I taught you, little monster?" August fake scolded the little boy who pouted, and then his eyes turned red.

"Oh, these tears and this cute little pout works on me. Fine. No scolding today, but no running again. Understood?" August was almost about to cry himself.

"Mm hm. No running again. Pawmise." The boy said softly and August chuckled.

"God, why are you so cute? Did you come alone? Where's your nanny?" He asked and suddenly he heard a deep voice.

"Good morning, Mr. Sage." The man greeted him and August turned around to greet him back.

"Morning, you are?" He questioned, a little frown forming on his face.

"Mr. Sage, he is my Dad, Cal - um- Cal, it's too hard." The little boy lowered his head with a pout.

"Callahan Kane." The man answered and August gave him a nod.

"August Sage. I'm his homeroom teacher. He's with me for most of the day and also my favorite boy. What do you say, sweetheart?" August asked the little one who nodded.

"I am. And Mr. Sage is my favorite Daddy." The boy answered getting excited again.

"Alright then, are you picking him up later?" August questioned, and the three men looked at him as if he'd asked for their property.

"Dax has a nanny who picks him up, I guess." Declan answered August and the latter frowned.

"Take my advice, and fire that nanny. I don't remember a single day when she was on time to pick him up. There were times, when I was the one to drop your son home, and only then we saw her leaving the house. As to what she was doing or does, that's your problem. Now, if you excuse us both." August explained and excused himself.

"Oh, it was nice meeting you, Cal. We'll keep it short." August said with a wink and then both teacher and his favorite student turned to leave.

Callahan, Declan and Mase stood there and watched as the duo laughed and talked while leaving until they were out of sight.

Callahan put his sunglasses on and then dialed a number.

"The nanny is fired. Pay her for one month and then blacklist her. Also find me details on August Sage." Callahan ordered, and then hung.

"Do we keep an eye on him? I don't think he's any kind of harm to Dax or us." Declan was the one to break the spell of silence.

"And Dax likes him. He clearly loves children. I agree with Dec." Mase agreed with his brother.

"I know. I feel the same. But after... I don't want to take any risk." Callahan admitted and then shared a look with his brothers.

"We agree. Do your checks then. Let us know. Till then, I will ask my men to keep an eye on him." Declan answered and Mase gave a nod.

Callahan looked in the way of the school before driving out of the school campus.
