You're Out Daddy

As soon as it was time to get off work, Natasha’s phone rang.

“Mommy, have you finished work?” At the other end of the line, Denise’s voice was full of expectation.

“You’re calling me at the exact time. What else can I say?”

“Does that mean you’re not working overtime today?”

Natasha could not be clearer about her intentions. “No, I don’t have to work overtime, so I’ll pick you up later.”

“Yeah! We’ll wait for you, then!” Denise was overjoyed.

“Well!” After hanging up the phone, Natasha packed her stuff, clocked out, and left.

The school was half an hour’s drive from Natasha’s office, so when she arrived, most of the students had already left.

She called Denise’s number. “I’m here. Where are you guys?”

“Oops! I forgot to tell you, Mommy. Gramps came and fetched us earlier,” Denise replied.

“So, what should I do?”

The moment Natasha finished asking, a voice came from above her head. “You are Denise’s mom, Natasha, aren’t you?”

Hearing the voice, she looked in its direction and saw in front of her, a gentleman who fitted the description of the director of school affairs just as Denise had described.

Wearing black and standing upright, he looked energetic and fresh. His facial features really did resemble Yohan Yamaguchi, the good-looking and famous actor.

No wonder, Denise had such a crush on him.

On the other end of the line, Denise laughed as she heard Zachary’s voice. “Mommy, enjoy your chat with him. I’m hanging up the phone!”

Without waiting for a reply, Denise hung up the phone.

Awkwardly, Natasha put away her phone. Facing the man in front of her, she nodded. “Yes, that’s me.”

“Denise told me your phone cannot be reached so she asked me to wait here and inform you that her grandfather came to pick them up,” Zachary explained.

“Thank you. Just now… there was no signal on my phone.” Natasha was forced to lie which was against her natural inclinations.

Zachary smiled. “I’m Zachary Lynch.” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

“I’m Natasha Watson.” Natasha shook his hand politely.

“I know, since Denise talks about you often,” Zachary said with a gaze that was both sincere and gentle.

After encountering Kenneth, an old man who was all fang, tooth, and claw, Natasha was suddenly at a loss in front of this handsome gentleman.

“Shall we go for a cup of coffee?” Zachary asked.
