Claudia returned to the Darren Company just 2 days after their first meeting. Alexa requests that Claudia immediately finish it and return to Erskine City.
The happiness that enveloped Darren, made him invite journalists, television reporters, and also his fiancee Fransisca Leora. Alexa himself smiled while watching the signing of the cooperation online. He assigned one of the other Black Alpha's men to do it.
Darren becomes part of his company, while Claudia will represent Alpenze Coorp. The two of them shook hands after they finished signing. Journalists and television reporters took pictures so many times that flashes of light seemed to fill the room. Sisca who saw that certainly showed her smile.
After that, Darrem held a question and answer session with the news seekers present, while Claudia was more silent and did not give too much response.
The signing event this time made the value of Darren's company's shares increase. The company is highly rated because it can work with Alpenze Coorp. Claudia immediately withdrew after the event was over as she was about to fly straight to the European Continent.
Darren and Sisca have dinner with their families. Their meeting was to celebrate Darren's success and also determine the date of his second marriage.
"Look Dar, what Mama said is true isn't it? Sisca is much better than ... What is the name of the woman? Mama doesn't like him" said Mama Dara.
"It's Ma, don't talk about it here" Darren said.
"Yes, don't talk about it. He will only make Mama's mood messy," Mama Dara also back to enjoy their dinner.
In the town of Erskine, Scotland.
"You're so deft, Clau. I didn't expect you to be able to finish everything within 2 days," said Alexa, who was sipping hot tea.
"Hmm, I'm lazy to see that man's face, miss. Remembering what he did to you, it makes me sick and always feel nauseous if you stay around him for too long" Claudia said, making Alexa laugh.
"Alright, for a while you can rest.We will let him enjoy all his achievements," said Alexa.
*****
This morning, as usual Alexa will stand to welcome the arrival of her students. He always greeted them with a smile. However, this time there was a strangeness that he felt, Brandon came only accompanied by Dad Carlos. His face looked sad and devoid of spirit.
"Good morning, Mr. Carlos. Good morning, Brandon," said Alexa, but there was no reply or reply from Brandon. The boy passed Alexa and entered the classroom. While Mr. Carlos, go straight away.
Alexa eventually enters the classroom and still finds the moody Brandon. The child was silent and did not bully his friends, not as usual.
Then came Grace, a very cute little girl. With double braided hair, round eyes, and pliable lashes, he walked up to Brandon as he always did.
"Hello, Brandon," said Grace, but Brandon was silent and turned his face away.
"Go there! Don't bother me!" push Brandon over Grace's shoulder.
Grace who got the treatment immediately cried and ran towards Alexa. The little girl was crying in Alexa's arms. He never received such harsh treatment.
"Grace baby, you calm down. Miss will talk to Brandon," Alexa rubbed Grace's hair and asked Grace to sit in her seat next to Brandon.
Alexa approached Brandon again and lowered her body to align with him, "honey, are you in trouble?"
"Honey," Alexa was aghast as Brandon violently pulled his hand and turned his face away. Alexa could see Brandon's face that was not as usual, making Alexa sigh slowly. Looks like he has to talk to Brandon's parents and find a way out.
During the lesson, Alexa could see that Brandon was completely unfocused. Brandon was seen staring blankly in any direction, making Alexa keep asking what happened to her pupil.
The school bell rang, as usual Brandon would be picked up at the very end. Why recently, Brandon's parents were so ill-timed to pick up their son.

Up to 30 minutes later, there was no sign anyone picked up Brandon. Alexa looked at the clock on her wrist. He faithfully accompanied Brandon who was sitting on a wooden chair under a large tree.
Alexa contacts Edith so she goes first to Michael's house, because she must accompany one of her unaccompanied students. Edith agreed and rushed to Michael's house not far from her own home.
1 Hour after school, Dad Carlos finally picked up his son. He was in a hurry and headed straight to the school. Brandon, seeing his Daddy coming, got off the wooden chair and approached him. Alexa is approaching.
"Good day, sir," said Alexa.
"Good day, Miss. Sorry I came late to pick up Brandon. I have something to do first."
"I understand, Sir. But ... can you make time for me tomorrow morning after taking Brandon to school? there are a few things I want to talk about."
"What's wrong Miss? How about just now? Tomorrow I have to go out of town and maybe I'll take Brandon. Therefore I also want to ask permission for Brandon not to go to school in the next few days."
Alexa and Dad Carlos end up sitting in a wooden chair under a tree with Brandon in the arms of Dad Carlos. He continues to cling to the body of Dad Carlos, looking for comfort.
"Sorry before, Mr. Carlos. I want to ask if there's anything Brandon has experienced?" ask Alexa.
"Did something happen to her?" Dad Carlos asked back.
"I saw a difference in him, especially today. He did not greet his friends as usual, even he encouraged Grace who wanted to greet him. He also did not return my greeting, and drew rough hands when I tried to speak to him. I've asked him, but he won't talk."
"I'm sorry before Miss. Actually it's a personal matter, a family matter. It may have had a profound impact on Brandon indirectly. My wife and I had decided to split up, and Brandon's custody fell into my hands. Therefore I intend to take him with me out of town, to accompany me to work, as well as on vacation" explained Dad Carlos.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Carlos. Thank you for your willingness to tell me. I will try to help you to restore Brandon's joy" said Alexa.
"Thank you, Miss. Then I'll take Brandon home. Thanks again for taking care of her."
"The same, Mr. Carlos."
Carlos carried his sleeping son in his arms. Alexa could only escort and see their departure. Meanwhile, across the street, a man noticed the interaction between the two.
