Not your typical baby mama

Chapter 91 Play Time Is Over

"Ian?" Amy was genuinely surprised when she saw him walk into the library.

After two days of not seeing him after the fiasco, she thought she would never see him again. She couldn't see the spark in his bangs shielded eyes when he saw her smile in surprise. She looked in Stella's office's direction and saw there was no sign of the woman coming through before she looked back at him.

"Hi, Emily."

"Hi, it's good to see you", she really felt so.

Ian lowered his head to hide the tinge of red on his cheeks. He cleared his throat and regained composure before looking up at her.

"Thank you, for the talk."

Amy waved her hand in dismissal. "No. And I'm sorry if I can off a little harsh."

"A harsh reality is a good wake up call. As the adult between Mona and I, I was being irresponsible not just to her and I, but to everyone."

"Well, don't do anything that will get us all worried again", she smiled as she said this. She was pleased with this little change in him. But what happened to him and Mona? Did that incident mean the end for them? She was really curious and was about to ask when he spoke first.

"You were worried?" His heart started to thud a little too wild.

"Of course. Why else do you think I went to look for you?"

Amy failed to see the coloring that settled on his ears. He could not believe it. He thought she was doing it for his grandma so she was genuinely worried. The thought sent his heart into overdrive. But her words soon settled into his mind.

"About that... How did you find us? Our phones were off and we used cash, so how?"

She only smiled at him, leaving everything to his imagination. Stella walked over coming in from the bathroom. Her face was pulled into a grown and she crossed her arms against her chest as she shook her head in disapproval.

"You actually came! Do you not want to share with me that much? I'm your grandma", She tsked at him in disapproval as she leaned against Amy's desk.

Ian let out a tired sigh when he heard his grandma's words.

"I'll get to work", he excused himself and went to his work station. Amy watched the exchange in clear amusement. Stella looked back at Amy who gave her a questioning gaze with brows raised.

"He was so adamant about not receiving financial help from us he wanted to find a job elsewhere. But he finally agreed to come back only if I stop pestering him about his little trysts in the storeroom. That punk! Would it kill him to share some tea? I mean what did they do and how much did they do in that small space? That's all I want to know. Is that too much to ask?" She huffed out a breath in frustration.

"You know you're a weird Grandma?" Amy arched her brow.

"So I've been told", Stella was smiling as she reached over to get some peanuts from Amy's desk. She seemed pleased than offended by the claim. She took a few more peanuts and reached for the crackers with cheese slices. She moaned at the combination and Amy watched with an amused smile.

"What?" Stella asked before stuffing cheese and crackers in her mouth.

"For someone who says I eat a lot these days.....", Amy finished her sentence with a shake of her head.

"Emily, you know it's rude to call a lady fat", Stella's brows were knitted as she reached out for more crackers.

Amy was about to call her out on her hypocrisy when her phone chimed. While Stella ate, she lifted up her phone and took a look at her new mail. 'Interesting', she mused. She was drawn to the sound of the paper pack of crackers when she looked down.

"Do you want to take that with you?" She arched her brow.

"No, I'm done here", she picked up one more before leaving for her office.

Amy peered into the pack, before she shook her head. Stella had left her four crackers out of twenty. Good think she came prepared. She fished out her laptop and set it up on her desk before getting another pack of crackers and cheese slices.

A game company just completed developing a new game. They hired their top gamers to test it out and only experienced glitches. Amy's job was to fix them and upgrade the system too. But what she found amusing was the client telling her they hoped she would be done in a week's time before the NYC Corporate gala that would be held in two weeks.

'It's that time again', she mused as she looked at the game system.

This was the time she and Dylan were the most busy because companies like one that had just contacted her would write to her seeking their assistance. This event was crucial for many businesses seeking to raise funds. She sighed already thinking of the many clients they would receive. With that thought, she sent a message to Dylan.

A.J: It's that time of the year. Are you busy or am I doing this myself?

Amy went back to looking at the game system. She was so immersed she had forgotten to check if Dylan had replied. Dylan on the other hand, was too busy getting himself lost between Esmeralda's legs.

Unbeknownst to the two, Aldo had just gotten good news. He was currently in his office looking down at the drunk customers and strippers entertaining them. His second in command whispered something before showing him a picture of Esmeralda going into Dylan's appartment building and another of Dylan going in a bit later.

"She hasn't been seen leaving the building since that day", the second in command concluded his report.

Aldo's lips slowly lifted into a sly smile. "Play time is over."
