Chapter 3

Five years later, at the First Airport of City M, a young man was walking out of the pick-up channel and he had stood out among the crowd. He was wearing a black shirt and trousers. His lips below the brown sunglasses were pursed and he looked exceptionally unfriendly and unapproachable.

Seeing him coming out, his assistant who had been waiting outside quickly went to him and took his baggage while asking carefully, “Sir, little Kyle has not eaten anything for the whole day, shall we go back to the mansion first?”

“Why are you only telling me this now?” The man’s frigid voice sounded as if he was going to lose temper later and the assistant’s legs trembled. Everybody in the Wright house knew that little Kyle was Mr. Wright’s dearest heart and he had protected him in all ways to avoid him getting harm. Even Mr. Wright did not even dare to speak any louder when he talked to him and it was conceivable how much Mr. Wright loved him. However…

The assistant felt intimidated, but he still braced himself and explained, “Since you’re going to Canada for an important deal this time, I was afraid I’ll distract you, therefore I didn’t contact you via phone call, and I didn’t expect little Kyle would go for a hunger strike for the whole day too…”

The man went to a halt. He took off his sunglasses and looked towards his assistant. His eyes were pitch-black, but they were slowly changing to green as observed by naked eyes, even the atmosphere of the surrounding was becoming tenser bit by bit. Having seen that, the assistant could almost not feel his legs and collapse.

Whenever Mr. Andrew Wright was angry, his eyes would turn green. And it showed that he was angry now…

Oh shoot, he was going to lose his job!

“When did I ever give you permission to make decision on my behalf? Hm?” He spoke with an icier voice.

“I, I’m sorry…” The assistant lowered his head and was ready to accept his fate. Just then, a small chocolate ball rolled across the crowd and stopped beside Andrew Wright's leather shoe. The wrapping paper of the chocolate ball made him wrinkled his eyebrows and he bent down, picking it up.

“Mister, that’s my chocolate!” A little girl ran to him while calling him with a soft voice. The little girl was aged around four or five. She was not tall and still needed to raise her head when Andrew squatted.

She had a pair of big eyes, her

black eyes were as shiny as agate and limpid typical of a child. Her naïve look made Andrew’s heart leapt and he fixed his eyes on her. He felt weird. It was the first time he met this little girl, but why did she give him such a strong feeling? As if they had known each other before.

Kenzie Jones shook her head and extended her small tender hand towards him. “Mister, if you want to eat the chocolate, you have to buy it yourself. I only have three chocolate balls; therefore I don’t have extras to give you.”

Her childish words seemed to melt Andrew’s heart judging from his relieved expression. “Do you like this chocolate brand?” He squatted and returned the chocolate ball to her.

What? His assistant who was standing aside was completely startled. That was very unusual, because Mr. Wright never liked any other child besides little Kyle. But why was he squatting while talking to the little girl and was even speaking gently to her like how he spoke to little Kyle? That was preposterous!

Kenzie nodded hard and grinned, showing her two small white tiger’s teeth which made her looked extremely adorable. “Could it be that you like this chocolate brand too?”

“I don’t like to eat that, but my son loves it,” Andrew said. He took out a box of chocolate from the shopping bag and it was the same brand. “I’ve bought a lot for my son. I can give you one of them.”

Kenzie’s eyes gleamed when she saw the boxes of chocolate, but she hesitated. “But, mommy said I shouldn’t take stranger’s things. But…”

Her black eyes rolled and she tipped her toes, coming close to Andrew.

She gave him a kiss on the face and took over the box of chocolate. “This should be fine!” Andrew was startled, but a smile broke on his lips. The assistant was breaking out cold sweats. He glimpsed at the time and reminded him. “Sir, it’s time…”

“Okay. Then I guess we should say bye now, little princess.” Andrew stood up and left with his assistant.

“Bye! Mister!” Kenzie waved her hand at his back. She thought that not only the strange man was handsome, he was kind-hearted too.

“Kenzie Jones!” Hearing a woman’s angry voice from behind, Kenzie’s face contorted and she thought she was doomed. The next thing she knew, the woman came close to her and gave her a slap on her hips with an angry look. “Didn’t I ask you to stay there? Why did you keep running around?”

“Oh, mommy, stop, it hurts!” She did not actually feel pain and was just pretending. She then covered her hips and wailed. “My chocolate dropped, I just want to pick it up.” Noticing she was carrying a box of chocolate in her arms, Selena took it over and asked, “Where did you get this?” Stella played with her fingers and replied, “A handsome mister thinks I’m cute and gives it to me.”

“Gives you? They why don’t you go with him?” Selena felt angrier and she wanted to give her hips another slap.

Kenzie wailed and quickly covered her hips. She used the usual trick by looking at Selena with watery eyes. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I’ll face the wall for three minutes.”

“Ten minutes!”

Kenzie wailed. “Ten minutes is

too long, why can’t mommy care more about Kenzie?”

“I’ll lengthen the time if you bargain with me any longer!”

Kenzie no longer dared uttering a word. She curled her lips and left with Selena obediently while holding her hand.

Having returned after five years, the change of City M was beyond her imagination. The city was all abounded with lofty skyscrapers.

Selena woke up early the next day. After settling Kenzie, she stopped a cab right at the entrance of the district and headed towards the Ocean Pearl Group building located downtown.

Today was the seasonal interview day of the Ocean Pearl's Group and there were a lot of people going to and fro through the revolving door.

“Oh! Wait up!” Seeing the lift was going to close its door, Selena rushed to it on her high-heels shoes. She gritted her teeth and managed to squeeze herself through the gap before the closing.

“I’m sorry, I’m here to…Oh!” She was too quick when she entered.

One of her shoe heels bent and she fell to the front. She seemed to touch a smooth, silk-like fabric with both of her hands and she subconsciously grabbed it. She then completely fell towards the person and the strong hormone smell made her giddy.
