Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Hello, Boyfriend (2)
Raina North’s phone rang, it was a message from Shea.
She opened it: Mommy, I’m going to stay over at my idol’s house tonight, you eat well, sleep well, don’t worry about me. Mwah. PS: Don’t let Casper track my location, it won’t work. PPS: Even if you find me, I won’t come back.
Raina was both angry and amused, and said with a sinister smile: "Casper, quickly find this ungrateful girl for me. I need to see what kind of man has made Shea North forsake even her mother."
"Got it." Casper deftly hacked into the airport system, tracked Shea’s image, and began to follow the trail.
...
The Hawthorne Group.
President’s Office.
Elias Hawthorne pushed the door open and entered, only to be greeted by a bouquet of fiery red roses.
He was momentarily stunned.
Who was so bold to give him roses?
And what’s with the little munchkin standing on the chair?
Aidan Lynch, who followed behind, broke out in cold sweat instantly. What was this little ancestor up to?
Seeing Elias’s face darken, he quickly rushed over to pick up the little ancestor from the chair, and whispered: "Little ancestor, didn’t we agree to wait in my office? Why did you run to the president’s office?"
Shea sighed: "As a single guy, you wouldn’t understand my eagerness to see my beloved."
Aidan: "..."
Felt like he was being verbally attacked.
Elias glared coldly at the big and small duo whispering: "Is she your illegitimate daughter?"
"Of course not. I’m not like you, having a child without even noticing."
Elias stepped in: "Men failing is a disease, remember to treat it early." He sat behind the desk, ignoring the little girl in Aidan’s arms: "Go get the files that haven’t been processed yet. Remember, you only have half an hour."
Aidan couldn’t help but retort: "That’s why men with families are always in such a rush at work."
"You can also find a woman and settle down. Do you need me to arrange it for you?"
"No, please don’t, my heart already has its owner." Even though not knowing when this owner would return, he insisted on waiting for that elusive person.
"Could you guys please show some respect to this little beauty here?"
Shea was a bit upset, she wriggled out of Aidan’s embrace, handed him the red rose, and then carefully smoothed her dress.
She raised her head and asked: "Do I look pretty?"
Aidan grinned: "Extremely pretty."
Shea was satisfied: "I think so too."
She took the rose again, turned and walked towards Elias, offering the bouquet: "Fiery red roses represent my passionate heart, please allow me to express my deepest love for you."
Elias was momentarily startled, it was the first time someone dared to present him flowers.
If it were a woman, he would have already chased her out, but since it was just a kid around a few years old, he wasn’t going to argue with a child.
He looked at the little one in front of him, fair-skinned, features delicately painted, with an inexplicable familiarity in those brows and eyes, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Elias carefully examined her, finding her more and more familiar.
"Little girl, have we met somewhere before?"
Shea tilted her head and said: "Though that’s a terrible pickup line, since you’re my crush, I’m less bothered by it."
With that, she shot him a big, bright, sweet smile.
