  &quot; Here are the files, sir&quot; 
  I turned to see Aurora thrusting some files at me. I collected them and waved her off while I got busy with the document. They were the budgets for the newly launched Casino games that needed my signatures.
  I read through the amount of money needed and took my time to calculate each total to make sure no one was trying to embezzle money from the company.
  &quot; Excuse me, sir&quot;
  I paused as I lifted my head to see that Aurora was still in the room even though I asked her to leave&quot; What is it, Aurora?&quot;

  &quot; Nina, you got to calm down. You pacing around will only make the baby agitated&quot; Lillian screamed the hundredth time trying to get me to sit down. Joey was playing beside her as he had started walking.
  But I couldn't relax just yet, I could still remember Deborah's words to me even though it was nine months ago&quot; What do you think she meant by that?&quot; I turned suddenly to stare at Lillian.

  I watched as Aurora's eyes widened in shock as she heard me apologizing.
