Autumn just couldn’t let go of the idea of making Joseph her godson.
She showed up at his company in person. As the wife of the party chairman, her status was obvious the moment she walked in. No assistant at the front desk dared slack off—they escorted her straight to the guest lounge, poured her the best tea, and set out a spread of fresh pastries.
“Please wait a moment, Mrs. Walker,” the assistant said politely. “Mr. Salstrom is in a meeting right now. I’ll let him know you’re here.”
In the conference room, Joseph already knew Autumn had arrived. He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he just dragged out the meeting, nitpicking every last detail, turning what should’ve been a quick session into a two-and-a-half hour slog.
Autumn sat waiting, sipping cooling tea and picking at cookies for over two hours. She knew Joseph was doing it on purpose, and it burned her up, but she refused to leave. She was determined to see this through.
When Joseph finally wrapped up, he asked his assistant, “Is she still here?”
“She’s still in the lounge, sir.”
“She hasn’t left?” Joseph smirked. “She’s tenacious, I’ll give her that.”
He started walking down the hall, but before he could get to the lounge, a little kid came running toward him. “Daddy! Daddy!”
It was Daria—he’d missed his dad and had begged the nanny to bring him over.
But Joseph didn’t scoop him up. He kept his face stern and called out, “Alan, who said you could come here?”
Daria wasn’t scared in the least. He just hugged Joseph’s leg and pouted. “Daddy, I missed you.”
Joseph stayed stone-faced and told the nanny, “Take him home.”
He didn’t want Autumn to see Daria.
“Yes, sir,” the nanny replied quickly.
“Come on, Daria, let’s go,” she coaxed.
Daria’s lips quivered and his face fell. “Okay, Daddy, but come home early, alright? It’s my birthday today.”
Joseph felt a pang in his chest—he’d nearly forgotten. Today was his son’s birthday.
