He woke up excitingly . Ah, its Monday! He will be able to see the woman today and that lighten him up .
However, it"s already 9am and still no beautiful woman stepped on his doorstep . Eh? Where is she?
Then after few more minutes, his phone beep and as soon as he saw the sender, he picked his phone and read what was written .
"Sorry Sir, I"ll be late for a few more minutes . "
Eh? Late? she was never late before and procrastination was never a part of her routine . Something must have happened . Is it an emergency? Is she sick? or did something bad happened to Mira? Now his anxiety leveled up .
He waited for another 10 minutes but when he couldn"t wait anymore, he called the woman .
"Where are you?" he austerely asked .
"I"m sorry Mr . Williams, but I"m almost there . in fact, I"m at the hotel"s premises already . " The man could hear her heavy breaths . Is she running? Perhaps .
After a few more minutes, a woman drenched in sweat came into view .
"What happened?" he stood up to meet the woman"s eyes . dang! Alex could feel the icy atmosphere . But it was her fault for not informing him early .
"I"m sorry, it"s just that I needed to settle something at my daughter"s school . " she explained hesitantly .
Ethan wanted to asked more, however, the woman seemed perplexed and tired . Might as well let her rest for a while .
"Rest . " He turned around and went back to his study table . "After you rest, sort these doc.u.ments for me . I need them by three in the afternoon . "
"I can do it now . " she insisted . She needs to finish all her work so she could ask for an under time today .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
She was about to get the doc.u.ments from his hands but Ethan glared at her . "I told you to rest for a while, I don"t think you"ll be able to concentrate right now . "
"I can manage… please . " She pleaded . Ethan stared at her entreating eyes . why is she in a rush? He thought .
"Miss Miran, is there"s a problem?" he immediately asked then he saw how the woman lowered her head .
"I-I… Sir, I was thinking if I could do under time today…" she hesitantly voiced .
"Miss Miran, you do know that you came late today, right? and now you"re asking for under time?"
"I know it"s unreasonable… it"s just that… my child… needs me . " she was breaking .
Ethan raised his brow . Is Mira sick?
"Alex, would you mind telling me what"s happening so I would understand?" he softens .
"I…I was late because I had to settle some things at her school . Also, I promised to fetch her personally today . " she faked a smile .
Ethan was in deep thought for a few minutes then he looked at the distressed woman .
"Alex, why don"t you just bring her here?" he suggested .
"But Sir… . " the woman was a bit surprise at her boss" kind preposition .
"I totally understand your situation, but you also have to understand that you have a work that only you can do . you don"t have an a.s.sistant to take your job either . So the least thing I could do is to allow you to bring your daughter with you while you come to work . "
It was against their work ethics but Ethan is willing to bend his company"s rules just to have an excuse to see his daughter . Meanwhile, Alex was thinking deeply . Will she consider his suggestion? But if she thinks about it, it"ll be on her advantage since she"ll be seeing her daughter more often . However, won"t she become a distraction to her and Ethan while they work?
"But she might get in the way while you"re working . Beside, she"s a bit stubborn and sometimes talks a lot . " She explained .
"I won"t mind . but I don"t think she"ll bother us . Your daughter seems smart; I think she"ll understand if you discuss some conditions to her . " he smiled .
"But…"
"I"ll tell max to fetch her later . Just give me her time-out and the address . " He spoke with finality .
Alex heaved a sigh . She doesn"t know why she"s getting a favor from the CEO but somehow she"s at ease knowing that she will be able to watch her daughter while working .
Unknown to her, Ethan had orchestrated everything in his mind . yes, he wanted to be with them, watch over them and to get to know his daughter further . After instructing Max, he also told him to shop for some school supplies and toys so Mira could play while her mother works . As soon as he was done giving max some directions, he went back to his work wearing a smirk .
Alex, who was looking at him raised her brow . seems like the man is into something but she couldn"t figure what was running in his mind .
***
"Who are you?" the little kid asked unsmilingly when she saw a man dressed in black suit while standing in front of a beautiful black car . The teacher told her that someone is waiting for her outside but didn"t tell who it was . She was actually hoping to see her mom .
Her cla.s.smates kept on glancing at her then to the man . the handsome young man and his expensive car had caught the people"s attention . Then rumors started to spread .
"Her mother seems to have found a wealthy man . " Mira could hear some words everywhere .
"Young miss, unfortunately your mother couldn"t make it so she sent me to get you . "
"We don"t have a driver and my mom can"t afford to hire someone like you just to fetch me . " She icily responded .
"But her boss does . " Max was just smiling all throughout their conversation . Of course, he can"t blame the little kid if she became suspicious all of a sudden .
Mira seemed to have thought for a while and after much consideration, she then softens up . Max opened the door to the backseat and as soon as the child settled in, he went to the driver"s seat and drove off .
Some children and their parents were left dumbfounded . that car is definitely worth not just a million but more! ah, lucky child . They thought .
The little kid was enjoying the outside view and riding the beautiful black car makes her feel like a princess . She was still in doubt earlier but the words she was hearing about her mom made her feel a little edgy so she decided to kill them with jealousy instead .
"Where are we going?" The little kid asked when she suddenly noticed that they"ve been driving for less than 20 minutes . "Where"s my mom?"
"We"ll get to your mom later . As for today, I was told to buy you some stuffs that you might play with while your in there . "
"Toys?!" the little kid excitingly exclaimed .
"Yes…Anything you want dear . "
"Really?" ah, she wanted to jump in excitement . she"s been wanting to have toys just like her cla.s.smates but her mom couldn"t afford a few therefore she never bothered to ask her mother .
The little kid"s eyes shone in amazement but her jaw dropped while standing in front of the toy store . unknown to her, Max had his phone"s video on and Ethan was watching her priceless reaction . He smiled as he sent a message to Max .
"Take everything she wanted . "
After an hour of rummaging the store, the little kid satisfyingly gloat at the stuffs she took . Aside from toys, she also took some school materials which her mother can"t afford to buy for her . That way, her cla.s.smates will surely be envious of what she had . Furthermore, the toys that she has is enough to brag about, hoping that it will lessen their bully .
As soon as the child was done shopping, Max used Ethan"s black card to pay for Mira"s stuffs . Ah, the joy and amazement from her eyes, its mesmerizing and satisfying .
After a few more minutes, they have arrived at the hotel suite and went straight to Ethan"s office .
""Mom!"" The little kid run to hug her .
""Sweetheart!"" She embraced the smiling kid . ""How"s my baby?""
""Mom! Look! I got some awesome stuffs!"" The little kid exclaimed in excitement . Alex suddenly stared at the bags that max was bringing inside .
""What are those?"" Alex creased her brow . ""Whose toys are those?""
Mira suddenly lifted her brow in question . ""They are mine, mom . . . I thought this was your idea?""
""Eh?"" The woman was stunned . ""I didn"t know any about that!"" She exclaimed .
Then they stared at each other with face filled with puzzlement . Wait . . . looks like Alex had forgotten someone . . . did he possibly cause all this? Then slowly, both the mother and daughter laid their eyes on the man who was silently reading some doc.u.ments on his study table . He was grinning from ear to ear .
But why did he do it? Why is he being nice to her and her daughter? Is it really . . . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
She chose to shrug off her thoughts . No! It"s way too impossible!
She was lost on her own thoughts that she didn"t notice Mira approached her superior .
""Hey!"" Mira called out so Ethan lifted his head to meet the young child"s eyes . "" Did you pay for all those?"" She pointed out the bags on the couch using her mouth . Her arms were folded like an adult .
""What if I did? Are you going to return them?"" He leaned on his chair mimicking the child"s hand gesture .
The young girl looked at him sternly, Ethan did as well . A face-off?
In Alex eyes, the two were glaring at each other and seems like a war was about to spring anytime soon . Fudge! Why did she even agree to bring her stubborn and hardheaded daughter at work? Ah! She smells trouble!
