SIX MONTHS LATER
Aidan's POV
I get out of the Ferrari after parking in the driveway. It is past 9 pm already and I am damn tired. I left work early today because I feel I need to rest so I won't end up sick. I have been working hard these past few days and I am already considering a vacation soon, with my baby Lily. She is two months old.
I take long strides toward the house with my briefcase while losing my tie with my right hand. I exhale deeply when the tie is off and my phone rings Immediately.
It is Richard and I wonder why he is calling me this late.
"Congratulations to the jack of all trades", he screams.
"Jack of all trade?" I furrow my brows in confusion.
I have no idea what the idiot is talking about. He always call at the wrong time, either when I am too tired of his drama or when he wants to tease me about something and I will end up telling him to shut the fuck up.
"Yeah, master of none", he chuckles. I feel like punching him for making such a silly joke. I am tempted to drop the call and go take a bath, instead of listening to his stupid talks. I open the door and move in quietly.
"You are actually different, you know?" I didn't answer him. "The Jack of all trades is usually the master of none but you are the master of all trades."
"Why are you calling me this time, Richard?" My voice is stern. I want to know if this call is important or not.
"I'm calling to congratulate you of course and to wish you a happy birthday", he utters.
I didn't even realize today is my birthday. I totally forgot it's my birthday and I wonder why mom didn't call me today. If she had called, I would have remembered it was my birthday. I wonder why Richard didn't call since morning and he is just calling now.
What is he congratulating me about? I ask myself inwardly as I slump to the sofa in the living room. I drop the briefcase and relax my back more comfortably on the chair. I want to be done with the conversation and go to bed.
"What are you congratulating me for?" I voice out my thoughts. I already know he is calling because it's my birthday but I don't know what the congrat is for.
"The news is over the internet", he shouts in excitement.
"What news?" I am curious.
"You don't know?"
"No", I answer sharply in anticipation. I am hoping it is not bad news but a good one.
"Your automobile idea has been accepted in America and you are now recognized all over America", he informs me and I almost gasp.
How come I am just getting to know about this from Richard of all people and not from my Secretary or Personal Assistant. Didn't Chloe or my P.A get any congratulatory messages?
