Carlson's days at work were his best days and his life got better. Because of his excellent service, Case doubled his normal Internship wage. Now he was also Cade's most trusted staff, he got various benefits that ordinary staff could not get. He got things like tips from Cade, being allowed to more board meetings and getting first hand information of what was going to happen in the company before it was communicated to other staff. It was during one of these days as Carlson went about his duties that he came across William at the company one day. William still hadn't been promoted in his own internship but he was to attend a board meeting that day with his father which was why he was on the executive floor. The board had requested William's presence to evaluate his working schedule. The two men stopped before each other, William spoke first."Well, if it isn't the ‘most intelligent’ Carlson," William said, coming to a halt in his steps."How is it going, William?" Carlson asked, t

Carlson was invited to dinner at the Milton residence a week later when Raegan returned from her business trip. She had been in charge of organising a huge fashion show which was why she travelled. Raegan had also inherited the love that Cade had for his proficient worker, Carlson, because of how Cade always praised the young man. She always listened with an unadulterated attention whenever Cade talked about this young man who had been the top scorer for their scholarship scheme and managed to maintain that streak throughout his three years at College. Carlson would be in his final year of College soon and if he could keep his academic excellence for one more year, he would graduate top of his class. She wanted to see this young man for herself and understand why her husband took so much liking to him. She also noticed that her son scowled each time Cade mentioned Carlson's name, which was another reason why she wanted to meet the young man. She wanted to understand why Cade loved hi

“Like I said, Ma’am, she and I are just friends. Williams doesn’t even like her at all, but just because there may be something between us eventually, he’s against it.” Carlson explained calmly.“Leighton belongs to me. You seem so sure that I don’t have feelings for her. We grew up together, you just came into the picture so mind your damn business!” William snapped.“Wait. You’re both talking about Leighton? When did you start liking her, William, isn’t she your best friend?"Yes, she was. Until she decided to betray me." William said aloud. Carlson ignored him. If Raegan had ignored him just like Carlson had done, then it would have been a perfect dinner. "Betray you? What do you mean by that? Were you guys together? Did you tell her you liked her?" Raegan asked. "No, I haven’t discussed that with her. But she told me she liked me. And I was beginning to come around to liking her as well. Now Carlson wants to snatch her from me." Carlson could no longer ignore William. "Snatch

It was the day of their date. After that night that William tried to make Leighton his girlfriend, he invited her out on an official date and they decided to go on a day when they were both free from internship work. They planned to spend the whole day together and decided that at the end of the day, they would discuss their next action if they would move further and officially enter a relationship or wait for some more time. Their date included going to the city’s museum to see a new artefact that Carlson was interested in. At first, he had been reluctant to add that to their plans because when he dated Jeanne, she was never interested in things like these. She always called them too ‘nerdy’ for her tastes. Jeanne had been more interested in shopping, and cinemas. But surprisingly, after getting the courage to tell her about his fascination with the museum, Leighton had smiled and agreed to go. She told him that when she was younger, her father always took her to museums. Nowadays,

“How? How is this possible, Doctor?” She asked as she stared at the result in her hands through her teary eyes.“I have no idea. You told me your son was lost so I was really surprised when that boy turned out to be a perfect donor match. I was reluctant to do a DNA test but I knew it was rare to have a stranger that’s unrelated to the family be such a perfect match. And my suspicion was correct. Like I said, if you still doubt it, you can run the DNA test elsewhere to determine it’s authenticity. Mr Carlson is your long lost son.” The Doctor said.“We searched for him for years, and for a while now, he has been right under my nose and I didn’t even know. What kind of mother am I?” She sobbed and the Doctor stood.He went around the table and began to console her.“Don’t blame yourself for that. Just be grateful that somehow, he found his way back to his family. I know the story of his disappearance though it happened many years ago. I was still in Medical school back then when the ne
