Two days later.

Back in the city, at a prestigious golf club.

Five beautiful adies sat on a table in their golf outfits sharing some nice chatter over tea and biscuits. Their ages ranged from late forties to late fifties but most of them seemed to look ten years younger. They all belonged to some of New York\'s richest families but two women especially stood out in this group. It was Zach\'s mother, Mrs. Victoria Frost and, Mrs. Kristen Howell. Both women came from families whose companies were practically on top of the food chain.

The women had frowns on their faces as they listened to their friend, Stephanie, pour out her problems. "Since his business failed, he\'s been down and doesn\'t want to pick up the pieces. Now it\'s one fight after the other with his father. Ladies, I\'m really not having it easy."

"It must be hard on you", Rebecca sympathized while patting her friend\'s hand. The other three nodded in agreement.

"Was it wrong to support him? Should I have pushed him to let his father groom him for the CEO position? Who knows? Maybe he would have made a difference like Zach is doing. Eleven years of running Frost Corporation and it\'s been one success after another. He\'s definitely not like his peers." Victoria\'s face was red from blushing. Which mother would hate hearing praises about their child? But she only showed a modest smile. However, Stephanie caught the glare Kristen was giving her so she quickly added, "Of course, there\'s Logan. At such a young age he\'s already a CEO. His achievements are not so simple either."

Despite that, Victoria saw that Kristen\'s expression was not that good. Both of their sons were the same age but one was simply a CEO while the other was a Chairman of their respective corporations. This difference surely bothered Kristen, Victoria felt so smug about this fact. Unfortunately for Kristen, Adelaide had not picked up on the tension and felt to express her genuine admiration for Victoria\'s son, Zach.

"I agree, but Zach is something. Look at his achievements." She started counting with her fingers, "CEO at 22, then chairman at 25, expanding the family business to international waters with his unending success streaks, and he\'s so good looking. Torrie, that son of yours will not only give you beautiful grandchildren but brilliant ones too!"

Victoria fought to maintain a modest smile, but every achievement listed greatly stroked her ego. Rebecca and Stephanie had noticed that Kristen\'s face had grown uglier with Adelaide \'s praises. However, Victoria\'s smile froze when she heard the words that came out of Kristen\'s mouth.

"Oh? But won\'t Torrie need to have a daughter-in-law in the first place?" Kristen jabbed at Victoria\'s wound. While everyone doubted Zach to get a woman despite his good looks and abilities, there was also Xavier the player. Kristen\'s expression turned smug upon seeing the ugly expression on Victoria\'s face.

"Well everything happens in its own good time. But it seems like, you Kris, will be the first to have a grandchild among us?" Adelaide praised.

Kris brought her hand up to her mouth to cover her bashful smile. "I hope so. I mean, Logan told us the other day he\'s thinking of proposing to Tania!"

"Really? That will probably be the wedding of the year! I wouldn\'t miss it for the world!" Stephanie replied starry eyed.

"Of course! It would mean a lot to me to have you ladies help me celebrate my only son\'s wedding!" Kris looked around smiling ear to ear at her friends. She brought her cup of tea to her lips to drink but almost choked when she heard Victoria\'s statement.

"And Zach will be there to support his friend with SOMEONE beside him", Victoria blurted out before she could think.
