"Grace, please call me Ramsey. I need to talk to him." Ian added. Grace hummed a positive response before the line went off. Seconds clicked by and his system beeped signifying files transferred from his secretary's system. A soft knock sounded on the door at the same time. "Come in, Ramsey." Ian said loud enough for anyone outside the door to hear him. A handsome looking man walked in with the company's tablet and some paper works in his hands. Ramsey is the CEO's personal assistant. "Sir, here are the paper works you requested." Ian tapped on the desk and his personal dropped the files on it. Being a chief executive officer is stressful and tiring. Ian barely has time for himself or even some breathing space because he is always buried in files, paper works, contracts and deals from several branches of the corporation. And he can't leave any work undone or else it would affect the smooth running of the corporation. "Ramsey, do I have any meeting today?" Ian asked. "Yes sir." Ramsey replied as his eyes flickered at the tablet to check his boss schedule. "Who am I supposed to meet after handling these paperwork?" Ian questioned without looking up from the system.

Ria crouched down trying to find him then she touched a part of his body, his leg precisely and he cried. The man ran off too quickly. "Sorry..Sorry Phoenix." Ria whispered shakily. "I am fine mom..but that man just snatched your purse." Phoenix said. Phoebe heard her brother's voice from where she stood to get ice cream. "Look that guy running ahead is a thief! He has snatched my mom's purse!" She screamed but it was as if no one cared about going after the thief since there were just few people at the park. "Thieves at the park again? I should close up before they come rob my earnings." The ice cream man panicked. "Are you okay mom?" Phoenix asked. "Yes..yes..I am fine.." Ria's voice trembling. Phoebe rushed back to Ria and her brother. "I will go after him." She said. "No..no..it is dangerous to go after a thief just let him go. We should take care of your brother. Is he badly hurt?" Ria managed to say. "Somebody help! He just snatched my mom's purse!" Phoebe screamed again. "But the money in the purse is enough to feed in the next two days." Phoenix grumbled. "Don't worry..I still have enough money at home." Ria answered. "It is all my fault. I shouldn't have suggested getting ice cream." Phoenix blamed himself in a sad tone. "No it is not your fault. No one should be blamed for what happened today okay?" Ria mumbled. "Okay." They shook their heads. "Mom, why don't you just rest a bit before we head back home." Phoebe suggested. "Is Phoenix leg fine? Does he have a bruise on it?" Ria asked. "He is fine." Phoebe answered before she helped Ria settle down in a bench. "Are sure your brother didn't get hurt from that fall?" Ria asked again. "It is just a scratch." Phoebe replied. "We should go home and clean it up. It can't be infected." Ria stood up from the bench. About three minutes later
