"So Steve...why did you come with Tatiana all the way here, " Eric asked.
"She kept telling me how beautiful this place was during our meetings so when she decided to come back, I asked to tag along " he smiled.
"He asked & you said yes " Eric glanced at Tatiana
"Yeah, I offered him a tour around and Gabby enjoys his company too," she said.
Eric sighed and looked down at his plate.
After dinner, Steve offered to help clean up. Eric sat down with Tatiana watching him don't with Alex and Patricia who seemed to like him.
Mark was putting Gabriel to sleep.
"You look amazing, I guess time away from this place helped you heal, "he said.
She smiled, "Gabriel kept me going, there were timed the pain came back but his little smiles and hugs gave me strength to try my best for him "
"And now you have another fake fiance "he chuckled.
"Yeah, but at least for him it's a mutual deal benefiting us both. And I would not have accepted it if it was someone else but Steve was a friend even before it happened. Gabriel and I learnt to rely on him as a friend with time" she said.
"Hmmm, so are you staying after the party or going back ?" he asked.
"Am not sure yet Alex had offered me to return and handle the main branch with her, but the other place has also turned into a home for me and my son so am still thinking about it "
"Anyway am glad your back whether short or permanent, we get to see our angel and also have some time to get to know the new you ".
"I haven't changed that much," she said.
"You might not see it but the rest do, I feel like am talking to a celebrity. We saw you in the magazine and articles too, you're really doing something with your life " he smiled.
She giggled, "Am not that famous "
"Yes you are, I have been keeping every issue of any magazine that has your face on it and read all the articles about you, " Patrica said walking out of the kitchen.
Alex nodded, "Dad said he was proud of you cause you made our company more popular and rich in just a few years of taking over "
"I was also surprised when I found out who she was, all the corporations back home started being interested in working with her and soon she was a sensation in the industry ". Steve added.
Eric laughed, "See, we are all asking for your autograph indirectly".
