It had been awhile since the last time that the whole Reyes family actually sat down for a relaxing dinner. They all had so much going on in their professional lives that dinner and breakfast was a quick hi, hello to them before someone had to rush off to the office.

"Mom, why do you need to rush off to the province again." Ayanna complained with a pout.

"Just some business issues." Priscilla Reyes told her daughter vaguely.

"But mom, I just got married and you're leaving." Ayanna complained.

"Oh don't give me that line. You and Ray are jetting off to your honeymoon on that island he bought as a wedding gift! You'll be gone while I'm gone." Priscilla Reyes told her daughter. "I better have a new grandkid by the time you come back."

"Mom it doesn't work that way!" Ayanna blushed.

Ray just laughed beside her and kissed her on the side of her head.

"Ah, to be young and in love!" Grandma Reyes said as she watched her granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

"But your mom is right, go and have children. We want them to catch us alive!" Grandpa Emilio teased.

"Grandpa! Don't say that!" Marie complained. "Of course you'll get to see and play with your great grandchildren."

"Well we would have had great grandchildren sooner if you married Marco." Grandma Reyes teased.

Marie's jaw just dropped as everyone laughed at the elder's comments.

After dinner Cedric helped Adrianna put little Emilio to sleep. He rocked his son back and forth as they stood on the balcony.

"I promise you my little baby, daddy will always be faithful to your mommy. I love her and I love you so very much. Just being apart the whole day breaks my heart." Cedric told his son as he kissed the child in his arms.

"What's with the sudden profession of love?" Adrianna said as she leaned against the door's frame.

"Hmmm, I just want to tell you both how much I love you every chance I get." Cedric told her as he leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips.

"Well, just so you know, I'll only love you too." Adrianna smiled back.

The next day Cedric offered to take his mother to the airport but he was suddenly called to the office for an emergency.

"Don't worry, your Aunt Aurora and mother-in-law are accompanying me this time. We'll make a girl's trip out of it." Priscilla Reyes said with a grin as she shooed off her son.

Cedric nodded and gently kissed his mom on the cheek as he said goodbye.

When Cedric got to Mor Co. it seemed like things had jumped back to normal and everyone was extremely busy. He had been missing his simpler life so he decided to ask his driver to drop him off in one of the more quiet bus stations and he took a bus to the office.

When he entered the lobby he looked up and smiled, it was now a far cry from the outdated look that Mor Co. once had. As he entered many employees greeted him, in their eyes he was the former assistant that now worked at the Reyes Group's head office. Some were nice, others he knew were jealous, if only they knew the truth, Cedric thought to himself and laughed.

When he got to the CEO's floor he completely forgot about the junior assistants. He was surprised when he bumped into Mae and Dave.

"Mr. Cedric! We heard so much about you!" Dave greeted him respectfully.

"Errr, I'm here to visit Ian and Camilla." Cedric quickly said.

"Ah, they are at the CEO's office. Should we call them?" Mae asked.

"No need. I'll just go in. The boss shouldn't be in yet." Cedric told them as he walked straight to his office.

When he got in Camilla and Ian greeted him. Cedric walked up and sat at his chair.

"We need to figure out a way for me to leave as Cedric and come back as the Reyes Heir." Cedric groaned as he massaged his temples.

"Why don't you just take the day off?" Camilla suggested. "You don't have that many meetings today, nothing that can't be moved around. You've been complaining how much you've missed being Cedric, this is your chance."

"And where am I to stay?" Cedric asked.

"You can stay with us outside like you used to when you were, well, just you." Ian said with a shrug.

"Okay. I guess I need a break. Move things around." Cedric told Ian.

"Okay, let's go out and you can help me with the trivial stuff you don't do anymore." Ian teased.

Cedric sighed, picked up his laptop and followed Ian out.

"The boss isn't coming in today." Ian announced to the junior assistants. Cedric noticed a frown cross Mae's face when Ian said this.

"Why so down, miss?" Cedric asked.

"Mae has a crush on the boss." Dave teased.

Cedric elbowed Ian who was suppressing a laugh.

"I do not!" Mae said defensively. "My name is Mae, by the way, I'm Miss Camilla's junior assistant and this is Dave, he's Ian's junior assistant. We didn't get to introduce ourselves earlier."

"Nice to meet you." Cedric said with a wink.

"You're married. Stop flirting, or I'll tell your wife." Ian warned.

"Mae, you so have a crush on the boss. You're even part of his fan club!" Dave continued to tease.

"Fine, so what if I'm a fan. The Reyes Heir is awesome." Mae said proudly.

Cedric laughed and took a seat at his old fake desk and rolled his seat closer to the two youths.

"Why do you think the Reyes Heir is awesome? The boss is just a man." Ian said as he sat down and opened his laptop to work. He still had to send out an announcement to everyone that the Reyes Heir wouldn't be in the office today.

"He is so young and handsome, and he's already managed to lead Mor Co. into so much success." Mae swooned.

"How do you know he is handsome? You've never seen him before." Camilla said, joining the conversation.

"Just something about his profile makes you feel like he is good looking." Mae explained. "He is tall and he has this air about him saying I am better than everyone. Too bad he is married though, a lot of single girls are sad about it too."

Ian let out a laugh. "I'll make sure he hears this."

"Mr. Lim, don't please. I'll be so embarrassed if he heard what I was saying." Mae said, shaking her head.

Cedric simled, if only Mae knew that the man she was talking about was seated across her.

"Aren't you going back to R Tower, Mr. Cedric?" Dave asked.

"Nope. I got the day to hangout here." Cedric said as he popped out his laptop. "I'm helping Ian and Camilla today since the boss is out."

"Oooh, can we have a nice lunch out today?" Mae asked Camilla and Ian.

"Sure." It was Cedric that answered. "But you're paying for yourselves. I'm too broke to pay for everyone."

Camilla's and Ian's jaw almost dropped. Ian glared at Cedric as if to say 'You're one of the richest men around, why do we have to pay for ourselves.'
