The night passed uneventfully and Silas woke up the next day feeling very refreshed. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

After he was done, he put on some change of clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.

When he got down there, he saw that his family were already awake and gathered round the dining table.

His father was scrolling through the tab in his hand, while looking at it intently. Silas didn't need to ask what he was doing to know that he was either reading or watching some news materials, and keeping himself up with what's happening in the world.

Alex was dressed in what looks to be a school uniform and was munching on his food happily. And Kim who was dressed in an OL attire was just done serving his breakfast.

Seeing this, a bright smile bloomed on his face as he walked towards the table.

"Good morning, Dad. Good morning, Kim. How was your night?" He greeted as he took his seat at the table.

He looked at Alex who was seated beside him and ruffled his hair gently.

"How are you, champ? You slept well?" He asked and he received a nod from Alex in response.

"What about you, brother?"

"It was marvelous," Silas replied as he ruffled his hair once more, before he turned his attention to his food.

"Hey, son. How was your night?" Chris greeted back with a smile when he saw Silas. He put aside the tab in his hand and started eating.

"Good morning, Silas. My night was fine. How was yours?" Kim greeted back with a beautiful smile on her face.

"It was great. You look grate and ready for work, today," Silas said in response to what she's wearing.

"Yeah. The company resumed operations a fee days ago and things are back to being as hectic as it was before," Kim replied.

Even though she said that, the smile on her face was brighter than ever. And this is especially after she went through that enhancement with his family.

She has become even more beautiful than she ever was. Her skin could be said to even be glowing as it looks so young and healthier that it was impossible for anyone who knew her actual age to believe how it could be so.

If Kim didn't qualify to be called a jade beauty before, now, she does.

Silas felt that his father was very lucky to have someone like her fall for him effortlessly. Actually, he envies his old man's pickup game. No doubt, he's a pro at it.

It wasn't just Kim's appearance that improved but that of every single one of his family. His father's and younger brother's appearance is what one would call the ideal appearance.

This was even more for Silas as his appearance is what every male to look like and what every female would want in a man.

While Silas was thinking of the changes in appearance in his family, that took place after their enhancement, and was slowly munching on his face, his thoughts was interrupted by Kim's voice.

"Oh... Yes. Silas, I don't know if you know this but some, actually, most of the company's previous staffs in USA came to Venezuela, asking for their jobs back.

This was after we put up the notice for recruitment of new staffs."

Silas looked up slowly when he heard what Kim said. He was very surprised by what she said about the old staffs of Kurt Technologies coming to ask for their jobs back.

He remembered paying each of them $1 million each. He doesn't understand what else they were doing here but he was sure to find out very soon.

Kim couldn't help but notice the subtle change in Silas' expression and she felt that he might had misunderstood. She felt that she has to explain before Silas does something drastic.

"Actually, they didn't exactly come back asking for their jobs. They begged for it and some of them even offered to return the money you sent to them, while some offered to use the salaries they would be paid to repay the money. All they want is their job back.

Silas didn't know what to say when he heard Kim's explanation of what happened but he still felt very skeptical about everything.

He decided to do things his own way as he told Luna to look into the past two years interactions of the employees that came back.

A few moments later, he heard Luna's voice in his head.

{I found nothing.}

"You found nothing or you found nothing?" Silas asked trying to understand what she was saying.

{It means they are clean.}

"Good," Silas said in relief.

He knew that he doesn't have to worry about some rats infiltrating his company then.

{And in addition to what Kim said, some, of not all of your old acquaintances are here in Venezuela.}

"Ohhh.... Who and who?" Silas asked in curiosity.

{Mr Brandon, Emma, Sarah, President Odetta, Chloe and her family.}

"That's..." Silas has no words. He could guess the reason as to why most of them are in Venezuela but President Odetta is what's surprising him.

'What does she want?' he asked himself as he thought of different possibilities. He thought of something and scoffed in response.

'There's no way, right? There's no way she left her job and position as the President of Stanford University to come to Venezuela. If so, what's the reason behind it?'

No matter how much Silas thought about it, he couldn't come up with any possible reason for her presence in Venezuela.

He decided to redirect his thoughts to others as he thought of the girls, Emma and Sarah. A smile crept up to his face when he thought of them.

They were the first set of people to come into his life after his life changed. They worked for him for a year before he asked them to leave. Though the two of them were very curious about his identity, they didn't look too much into it.

Silas felt that he would have to meet with them as soon as possible. And this brought his thought to Chloe.

He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of her. He felt like he had been unfaithful or something as Céline's face flashed before his eyes.
