Sharon pushed open the door to the president's office with joy as she called out gently, “Zachary...”
However, upon seeing the three children clambering up Zachary's body, she stopped dead in her tracks, stunned beyond words. “This, this... What is going on?”
“Daddy, who's this pretty lady?” Jamie's eyes lit up upon seeing Sharon as she asked inquisitively, “Is she your secretary?”
“Stop talking nonsense,” Robbie whispered under his breath. Turning to Zachary, he asked, “Daddy, shall we give you both some space?”
“There's no need.”
Zachary was holding Robbie in one hand and Jamie in the other.
Meanwhile, Ellie was riding on his shoulders and was braiding his hair with colorful rubber bands while the pet parrot Fifi was dozing off on his lap.
“Have a seat,” Zachary invited as he glanced up at Sharon.
Sharon was still in her state of shock as she walked over. She stammered as she asked, “Zachary, where do these kids come from?”
Strangely, Zachary seemed to ignore her question as his eyes were glued to the tablet in Robbie's hands. He was busy teaching the child how to read complicated VR drawings. Looking up at her after he was done, he queried nonchalantly, “So, I heard you're looking for me. What's the matter?”
“Zachary...”
“Daddy, can you help me by checking where this piece is supposed to go?” Jamie interrupted. He had just taken apart an airplane model. In her effort to try to reassemble the whole thing, she was left with an extra piece.
“Let me see.” Zachary took the piece and glanced at the airplane model. Finding the missing spot, he pointed, “Here!”
“Wow! Daddy, you're so smart! Thank you, Daddy!”
Taking the piece off his hand, Jamie immediately installed it into the right spot.
Peering up at Sharon once more, Zachary queried, “you're saying?”
“As I am asking, where do these three children come from?” Sharon was feeling anxious, as well as a little perturbed. “Why do they call you 'Daddy'? What's going on?”
