Abel looked on with contentment as the children played together, their love for each other evident. Riding the CEO elevator up to the 89th floor, Luca led the quadruplets on a tour of the building. Meanwhile, Abel was swamped with work, barely able to keep up. As he was buried in his tasks, his secretary knocked lightly on the half-closed door. "What is it?" Abel asked without looking up. "Mr. Abel," the secretary said, "there's a visitor here, but they didn't have an appointment. " "Turn them away," Abel replied, still focused on his work. "I don't have time for unannounced guests. " "Sure," the secretary said, turning to leave. "I'll let them know. " "No need," a clear voice spoke from behind the secretary. "I've already made my way here.

Abel didn't answer but instead picked up the intercom and dialed Luca's phone. "Mr. Abel," Luca answered, "what can I do for you?" "Bring them over," Abel said. "Yes, Mr. Abel.
