A Son for A Billionaire novel Chapter 60

EPISODE SIXTY ONE

THEME: Where is Leroy?

LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.

FEW MONTHS LATER

Ivy dragged herself lazily out of bed and she headed towards the bathroom to pee. And as she did her thing she remembered what the day was—Friday. Ivy motioned out of the bathroom as her gaze flickered on the wall clock. The time was 5:30 p.m which only means that Leroy would have been back from school since over two hours and thirty minutes ago.

"Did I sleep for so long?" Ivy mumbled to herself. She concluded that Leroy might not want to disturb her sleep that's why he didn't make an attempt to wake her up.

She grabbed her cellphone and headed out of the room. "Leroy." Ivy called out as she closed the door slightly behind her.

"Leroy, are you home?" She charged towards her son's bedroom hoping that he was sleeping in bed.

"Leroy are you—" Her voice trailed off when she met an empty space on the bed.

He must be watching tv in the living room. Ivy thought again as she rubbed her protruded belly. She was weeks due to the baby's date.

"Leroy." Ivy walked to the living but got no response. She furrowed her eyebrows when she didn't see her soon in the house.

"Ma'am, the young master is not back home yet." Ivy turned towards the voice. It was the middle aged woman who works part time.

"Did Jack forget to pick him at school or did Leroy ordered the driver to take him to the company again?" Ivy pondered deeply as she dialed her husband's number.

It wasn't a new thing that Leroy would head to the company on a Friday instead of coming straight home from school. He is always excited about going to the company with his dad on a weekend whenever it's necessary or even helping out with files. And Ace is also willing to teach him anything. At this point, Leroy already made a decision to be a businessman just like his dad.

Ace didn't pick up his call until the third ring. "Babe..are you okay? I am sorry I missed your calls. I just ended the meeting with the board of directors." Ace said in an apologetic and concerned tone.

"I am fine." Ivy replied.

"What about the baby? Is everything fine with both of you?" He demanded.

"Trust me everything is fine over here but-"

"But what?" Ace cuts in sharply. He was scared that his wife might be in some kind of pains since she might fall into labour soon.

"Relax honey, I am fine. But I haven't seen Leroy. Is he at the company?" She asked.

"Leroy? No, he is not here. I mean...in the morning we didn't agree for him to visit today because I might be too busy to even be with him." Ace answered.

Ivy tried not to panic. She tried to calm her breathing. "Leroy is not home." She muttered.

"And the driver? Check the garage probably he didn't go to pick him up yet." Ace stood up from the swivel chair as he glanced down at his wrist watch. Time has passed so fast. The driver isn't the type to not do his job. Leroy was expected to be home early on Fridays.
