“Mom!” Michael, like a loyal sidekick, tagged along behind Teresa, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “Please get Mr. Lime’s autograph for me and tell him I’m a huge fan, Michael pleaded
Teresa frowned and said No way We re not close
You re lying Sherry told me you had been hanging with Mr Lime for days That s why you ve been out all night Michael said
Quickly Teresa cornered Sherry for an explanation Sherry quickly hack tracked swearing she never revealed Jonathan s identity to Michael She only mentioned Teresa was with the boss who drove the black May bach
Teresa I m dying to know why you and Jonathan divorced Sherry said
Teresa stayed mum not taking the bait
Meanwhile Jonathan was back at the office tackling a backlog of work
His secretary entered and said Mr Lynn the task you set is done When Jason wakes up he ll find his family s finances in ruins
Jonathan murmured Keep him in the hospital Visit him under Horizon lead Group s name bring him some gruel and

Leftovers that stale gruel Mr Lynn you re really something still sharp as ever the secretary thought

Jonathan wanted Jason to wake up and face his own demise As for the lawyers he d assigned someone to ensure Teresa was cleared of any wrongdoing
After wrapping up three meetings Jonathan returned to his office The front desk called saying a lady named Teresa wished to see him
Send her to my office From now on let her up directly when she arrives Jonathan instructed
Got it Mr President the receptionist replied hanging up and casting a few more glances at Teresa impressed by her looks and figure Among the many women who visited Jonathan daily she was the first one granted direct access to his office
Teresa came to deliver the tie she had bought for Jonathan It was intended for his birthday but she didn t give it to him when she saw Simon a visiting him at the hospital
Jonathan opened the box to see a grey tie and examined it before closing the box It s a sharp style
At first Teresa feared he might not like it Now she breathed a sigh of relief Since I m here sign something for me please
Jonathan remained silent with a puzzled expression
Teresa explained Your company is impressive and you re killing it now I m afraid you ll be too successful for us to meet I want your autograph as a keepsake
The truth was that it was Michael who insisted on getting Jonathan s autograph After watching Jonathan s interview on TV Michael was star struck calling him Mr Lime and saying he wanted to grow up tall handsome and wealthy just like him
Initially, Teresa wanted to ignore Michael’s request, but with Michael’s drama–crying, throwing a fit, and threatening to stop eating, she caved. She took the tie to Jonathan and asked for an autograpli.
Handing over a notebook with a cartoon character on the cover Teresa said Please sign it in this notebook
Where did you get this notebook It s so cheesy Jonathan flipped through it looking at the cartoon cover and frowning
Just sign it Mr Lynn Teresa urged
Instead of signing right away Jonathan glanced at Teresa several times asking Is your chest still sore
Teresa blushed and replied It s fine Hurry up and sign
Jonathan smirked then signed the notebook closed in and handed it back to her

Teresa quickly grabbed the notebook saying Il leave you be li ye
Let s grab lunch Jonathan said
No Hunks Teresa declined She had a new batch of clothes to ship out and was swamped
Wa th that Teresa left Jonathan i Chic driver to ore her home concerned about her driving after hearing from Benny that she had scratched her car a few days ago He wondered what was going through her mind driving so absent mindedly
Back home in the afternoon Teresa gave the notebook to Michael saying Here s the autograph you want
Michael excitedly opened the notebook, but upon seeing it, he declared, “This can’t be Mr. Lime’s autographs. You’re tricking me.”
Teresa insisted. “Of course it is! He signed it himself. I watched him do it.”
Look at it Mr Lime would never si gri a nain e like this Michael said
Teresa took the notebook and saw Hottie written inside thinking Nice one Jonathan You got me by signing such a name
my pride to ask
Whatever, this is the autograph Mr. Lane gave me personally. If you don’t believe me, that’s fine. I’ve already swallowed my for his autograph today.” Teresa said.
Michael snorted refusing to believe it was Mr Lime s autograph My idol is not such a narcissistic person
Teresa thought to herself Well he is that narcissistic Never mind I don t want to argue anymore
Spotting Michael s innate talent for sketching Teresa signed him up for a personal art class Now that she had some money coming in she was ready to furl is creative spark

While Teresa was tied up with sales she got Sherry to pick up Michael from school in the afternoon
Michael was a p ruz at being picked up after class But today his attention was grabbed by the sleek black May bach parked opposite his art
Sherry that Mr Lime right Michael said his eyes sparkling with excitement
Sherry followed Michael’s gaze and laid eyes on Jonathan, who was leaning against the car and absorbed in a phone call. “This man’s incredibly handsome but tragically unaware of his own child, Sherry mused to herself.
Sherry thought it was off for Teresa to keep their son a secret from Jonathan but she was just an outsider she couldn t HO
Sherry I want to say hi to Mr Lime Michael said barely containing his thrill
Go for it but make it snappy I ll be right here waiting for you Sherry told him giving him a light nudge
Okay be right back Michael promised

Jonathan had just wrapped up a call and was about to get into his car when he noticed a pair of big hopeful eyes staring at him from the
Well you again Jonathan said remembering Michael as the kid who had yelled Hoss you re so cool before covering his face and running off
