Chapter 2 ;

  • It was now five years.
  • In a morning, it should be the busy time of a day at 10 o'clock. But now, quite a few staff talked about something happily in the office of the Planning Department of Excellent Company.
  • The youngest boy of Rogers Group would have his five-year-old birthday. It was well known that Mr. Patriarch Rogers and his wife Ms. Matriarch Rogers could not love the grandson more and they always tried to hire the best event planner to organize a fancy birthday party.
  • This year, they would also organize a fancy birthday party for his coming birthday.
  • A number of planners rushed to win the opportunity to work for them.
  • To everyone's surprise, Excellent Company was decided as the final winner this year.
  • Someone said, "Rogers Group usually selects famous companies as its supplier. It's weird it prefers to use our service this year. Though many customers satisfy with us, I don't think we are qualified enough to them."
  • "It's said Mr. Patriarch Rogers and Ms. Matriarch Rogers asked for the boy's opinion.
  • He decided to use us by himself, but nobody knew the reason."
  • "Whatever, it's good for us. All event planners dream of being the supplier of Rogers Group; we could earn twice bonus for doing a good job! I heard last year DC Company organized the party and got extra paid of more than one million dollars. It's amazing!"
  • "It's not a big deal to Rogers Group. The boy received a gift of a luxurious yacht for his one-year birthday; a private plane for two-year birthday; a gorgeous castle in France for three-year birthday; twenty percent of shares of Rogers Group for four-year birthday. Now he has owned billions of dollars!"
  • "Please stop talking! I cannot be more envious of such a brilliant boy!"
  • "Of course not. But this is his destiny, not ours. We have to work hard to make a living.
  • Hearing their talk, Eloise was some of absent-minded to think about the past and had a sneer.
  • She knew someone was destined to live such an incredible life.
  • Whatever, she would be the last one to have something to do with a wealthy family.
  • Since she was force to leave her family, Eloise had much misfortune.
  • She spent all the money that she gained from surrogation, but her mommy was still in a coma... as to her baby, she did not meet it since he was born.
  • The baby was also five years old at the same age of the birthday boy of Rogers Group.
  • Thinking about it, Eloise got some tears in her eyes.
  • She felt much sorry and heartbroken to lose her child.
  • How was the child now? She knew nothing about it.
  • Eloise had a sniff to control her emotion.
  • At the moment, she heard someone yelling, "Eloise, you haven't finished the copy now?
  • Why did our company hire an unqualified staff like you?"
  • It was Faye Kaur, the director of Planning Department.
  • Just graduated from university this year, Eloise was still in the second month of her probation period here. In fact, on the day she came here for the interview, Faye's younger sister also attended. Faye intended to hire her younger sister; due to Eloise, she failed.
  • From that time, Faye tried her best to make Eloise have a difficult time in office.
  • However, Faye was the head of the department. Nobody here would like to offend her just for Eloise.
  • Eloise hated to hear Faye, but she took all copies to leave soon. She said to Faye, "It's done."
  • It was unexpected that Faye's coffee cup fell down on the ground as soon as Eloise got close to Faye who said angrily, "So stupid! Get cleaning right now!"
  • Eloise frowned; she did not touch Faye at all.
  • Fave blamed her with unkind intention.
  • Eloise said, "It's not my mistake."
  • Faye was in a great rage and started to say some mean words to Eloise, "Get out! Eloise, you know? If you are unwilling to do these jobs, we have loads of candidates to replace you!"
  • Eloise tried to calm down.
  • She needed the job, or she should have left the company much earlier.
  • She had to earn the medical expense for her mommy in the hospital. When she was a student, she had to do many part-time jobs to make it. Now Eloise would not give up a job of good salary.
  • Nevertheless, What Faye did to her was out of line.
  • The others did not agree with Faye to do it.
  • Eloise was pretty and nice enough to be welcomed by the staff of the department.
  • Anyway, Faye was their boss and much competent in the company. Nobody dared to argue with her.
  • Faye knew everything for sure and said, If you try to keep your job, get doing it now! Use your hands."
  • Eloise controlled her anger to end the trouble. She turned around to get the cleaning tools.
  • "A moment!" Everyone heard a cute voice from the door.
  • They looked there; a younger boy dressed in a suit walked into the office.
  • He was good looking with radiant white skin and beautiful eyes. When the charming boy grew up, he would obsess every woman he met.
  • It was easy to know that he was from a prestigious family.
  • Some respectful bodyguards followed him seriously to come in.
  • The boy attracted everyone's eyes. They all doubted in mind, "Who is he? So lovely. How happy to have him at my home!"
  • He walked straight to Eloise and Faye.
  • Looking up, he glared at Faye; then he turned to look at Eloise with great curiosity.
  • Eloise looked at him all puzzled.
  • Just by looking at the young boy's clothing, she knew that he wasn't an ordinary boy.
  • The boy was staring at her intently and she had an odd feeling about it.
  • It was as if... he was appraising a rare item.
  • Eloise laughed at her own thoughts.
  • Faye on the other hand was losing her patience, she glared at the young boy and snarled, "Who are you? Don't you know that it's the office operating hour now? You can't just come in here to cause trouble."
  • "You're noisy.” The young boy glared at her indifferently, he was cool and defiant. He raised his small finger and pointed it at Faye, he then said indignantly, "You! Go clean up the floor right now. And remember to clean it with your hands!"
  • Faye thought she was hearing things, she laughed in disbelief, "What did you say?"
  • How dare he ask her to clean the floor?
  • "Didn't you hear me the first time?" The young boy had a look of disdain on his face, "Not only you're hideous, but your intelligence is lacking as well. This company doesn't meet my expectations at all, I probably have to reconsider if I want to let you guys organize my birthday banquet!"
  • Faye didn't think that this young boy had such a sharp tongue. She was so mad her whole body was trembling, "Where did this bastard come from? Didn't your parents ever tell you that you have to respect your elders? Such an uneducated child, I shall teach you a lesson today!"
  • She then raised her hand and was about to hit the child.
  • Eloise was startled, she quickly rushed over and hugged the child in her arms.
  • The child was still so young. He will be injured if Faye really slapped him.
  • Everyone else was also shocked, they couldn't believe that Faye wanted to hit such a cute young boy.
  • The bodyguard was also stunned by her actions, they then quickly yelled, "How could you hit the young master? Restrain her!"
  • A few seconds later, Faye was restrained by two other bodyguards.
  • Everyone was in a state of shock. Faye was also bewildered.
  • She was never treated like this before, not to mention that right now her subordinates were all watching her.
  • She then flew into a rage, she struggled and yelped, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
  • But the bodyguards continued detaining her and were as still as rocks.
  • The Excellent Company's general manager Monty Clark quickly rushed over after hearing about the incident, he said to the bodyguards apologizingly, "Sir, please forgive her. My subordinate didn't mean to offend the young master, I sincerely apologize on her behalf. I hope that you guys can forgive her misbehaviour."
  • Monty was sitting at the top floor of the office building when he heard that the young master of the Rogers Group was going to come over. He was going to welcome him properly, but for some reason, the young master went straight to the planning department instead.
  • He quickly rushed here after hearing the news. He was frightened out of his wits when he saw what was happening as he got here.
  • The Excellent Company put in a lot of effort just to do business with the Rogers Group.
  • He would bang his head on the wall if their cooperation were to be called off because of this incident.
  • The bodyguard snorted, "Your employee sure is gutsy, she called the Rogers Group young master an uneducated bastard!"
  • Everyone was astounded upon hearing that!
  • This soft and cute child was the Rogers family's young master!!!
  • No wonder he was so arrogant even though he was still a child.
  • Faye was appalled.
  • Her face which was red in anger just a few seconds ago immediately turned as pale as a sheet.
  • She was done for, offending the Rogers family's young master.
  • She might also lose her job if the cooperation between the two companies were to be called off because of this.
  • Monty's face was ghastly, he said fearfully,
  • "I'm really sorry, I'll make her apologize to the young master at once." He then glared furiously at Faye and said, "Miss Kaur, what are you standing around for? Apologize right now!"
  • Faye felt embarrassed, but she couldn't care less about her pride right now. She quickly apologized, "I beg your pardon, young master.
  • “I wasn't very bright, and I offended you. I hope that you could forgive me."
  • But the young boy wasn't even listening, he was snuggling up comfortably in Eloise's arms.
  • His round and soft face was squishy, and his large eyes were bright and shiny. He had a high-bridged nose and was pressing his cute red lips together. His short arms were around Eloise's neck, and it didn't seem like he was going to let go anytime soon.
  • Eloise always liked children, she especially liked hugging them.
  • And hence she continued hugging the young boy, not intending to let him go either.
  • The young boy was obedient and squishy, and for some reason, he felt...familiar. She really didn't want to let go of him.
  • Faye got anxious seeing that the young boy wasn't answering her, she then said again,
  • "Young master?"
  • The young boy finally reacted. He glanced coldly at Faye and said, "I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. You should apologize to this pretty lady here instead."
  • Faye felt ashamed.
  • Why should she apologize to a bitch like Eloise?
  • In her dreams!
  • "You don't want to? Well, it's fine and all.
  • Though, I will tell my dad to rethink about the cooperation project with your company."
  • The young boy told his bodyguards nonchalantly, "Let's go."
  • The bodyguards nodded in affirmative and let go of Faye. They then escorted the young boy.
  • Monty was hysterical, he halted them in their tracks, "Young master, please don't leave. Miss Kaur will apologize." He then looked grimly at Faye and said, "Miss Kaur, everyone in the company worked very hard to attain the cooperation project with the Rogers Group. If you want to dismiss everyone's effort, then please pack your stuff, and leave.
  • The company doesn't need someone like you!"
  • Faye's face turned ghoulish hearing what Monty said.
  • The young master insisted that she apologize to Eloise.
  • She would be in big trouble if she didn't do so.
  • She was unwilling, but at last, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine. I apologize. “I'm sorry.”
  • "You're not sincere enough." The young boy looked at her scornfully.
  • Faye took a deep breath and swallowed all the shame. She walked towards Eloise and bowed,
  • "I'm sorry for treating you like that just now. I'm very sorry and I hope that you can forgive me."
  • Eloise felt delighted and thought that it was ironic when she looked at Faye apologizing so meekly.
  • Faye was always looking down on others and abusing her connections and power, she probably never thought that she had to bow down to others one day.
  • Monty quickly tried to smooth things over after Faye finally apologized, he said,
  • "Young master, since Miss Kaur apologized, the cooperation project between our companies..."
  • "She hasn't wiped the floor yet. The young boy wasn't letting her off the hook yet.
  • Faye gritted her teeth in shame and said voluntarily, "I'll get that done right now."
  • She then took out the cleaning supplies and cleaned the floor in front of everyone. She used a cloth and wiped the floor clean.
  • But nobody looked at her with a hint of pity.
  • Everyone knew how she treated Eloise. What happened today was karma.
  • The young boy was satisfied after Faye cleaned the floor, "Well then, I will pardon the incident that happened today. Though I have a last request, Miss Kaur shall not partake in organizing my birthday banquet."
  • Monty answered happily, "No problem, no problem."
  • "That's all, I'll be taking my leave."
  • Eloise was going to put him down, but the young boy was grasping onto her really tightly. He didn't want to come down and ordered her in a cute voice, "Carry me downstairs."
  • Eloise was taken aback, but before she could even respond, Monty who was standing next to her was giving her all sorts of signals with his eyes.
  • Everyone could tell that the young master took a liking towards Eloise.
  • If would be great if Eloise were to get close to him.
  • Eloise couldn't do anything but to carry him again.
  • The young boy seemed very happy. He hugged her tightly and his eyes were shining.
  • Eloise looked at him in delight and walked out with him in her arms.
  • She thanked him when they left the room,
  • "Dearie, thank you for helping me out."
  • "No worries, it was just another hateful woman. I'm used to them, they are always bothering my dad"
  • The young boy talked in a cutesy voice, but he still sounded indignant.
  • He was like a little adult.
  • Eloise thought it was funny, "How can you be used to it already? You're still so young."
  • The young boy sighed and said seriously,
  • "Because my dad is really handsome. Those women buzz around him non-stop like flies, it was very annoying. But you are different, you are beautiful and gentle, I like you a lot. So...I will take you in!"
  • Eloise was so taken aback she almost tripped.
  • She thought she was hearing things.
  • Take her in?
  • A boy about 4-5 years old wanted to take her in!
  • Eloise was dumbfounded, she thought to herself if the young boy really knew what he was saying. She didn't mind him, she was going to put him down after they reached downstairs and go back to work.
  • But the young boy said cheerfully, "I'll take your silence as a yes."
  • Eloise chuckled, "Yes, of course.”
  • "Really? That's great, then you should come home with me."
  • The young boy smiled joyfully. His face turned pink because of the bliss and he looked even more adorable.
  • Eloise couldn't help but want to gobble him up!
  • But she suppressed her urge, she replied to his ridiculous request, "Go home with you? There's...no need for that, right?"
  • The young boy looked at her sternly, "But you agreed that I can take you in. Are you going against your word? My daddy said a liars' nose grows."
  • Eloise only then realized that he was totally serious, that he wasn't joking at all.
  • But...this was way too weird.
  • How could he say something like "taking someone in" being a child he was?
  • What were the Rogers family teaching him?
  • They finally reached downstairs as they were talking.
  • A Rolls-Royce parked in front of the building.
  • The bodyguard went up to open the door politely, but the young boy was still hanging onto Eloise, waiting for her answer.
  • Eloise was appalled from his stares, she quickly said, "Dearie, let's talk about this next time. I still need to get back to work and you should head home first. And about the matter about taking me in... Well, we'll talk about it some other time, okay?"
  • "No, you already said yes and you shouldn't break your promise," said the young boy sternly.
  • Eloise felt like her head was splitting, but it was her fault for not thinking before she spoke.
  • What should she do?
  • Saying no meant that she was bluffing, but if she were to agree... This boy was still so young, and she absolutely didn't have such inclination.
  • Millions of thoughts were running through her head when the young boy suddenly interrupted and said, "You don't want to come to my place?"
  • Eloise nodded repeatedly, "Oh yes, the Rogers family is prestigious, there must be a lot of house rules. We just met, if I really went with you your family might think that I'm a con artist. That's why I cannot come with you.
  • The young boy tilted his head and pondered for a while. What she said made sense, and so he said, "Okay then, let's not go to my home.
  • Let's go to yours instead."
  • Eloise choked on her saliva.
  • She coughed intensely. Why did it come back to this?
  • "That's not okay either?"
  • The young boy was dejected, and his eyes were turning red. He looked at Eloise pitifully and said, "Do you not like me?"
  • Eloise felt like her heart was breaking seeing him like that.
  • Of course, she liked him.
  • A boy with red supple lips and straight white teeth, he was cute yet so handsome. Her heart melted every time he smiled.
  • After a few seconds, Eloise finally answered humiliatingly, "Okay okay, I'll come with you.
  • Don't cry"
  • She then went into the back of the car while carrying the young boy.
  • The young boy snuggled up in her arms and was smiling contently.
  • In the president's office of the Rogers Group.
  • Hector Rogers was sitting at his desk and looking at an accounting report.
  • His assistance Thomas Ward brought him coffee and left it on the table. He then reported casually, "Mr. Rogers, the young master's bodyguards just called. They said that the young master went to the Excellent Company and caused some troubles."
  • Hector was sitting straight up, he didn't even look up and answered, "He can cause all the trouble he wants, as long as he stops pouting.
  • We will compensate for the Excellent Company for any of their losses."
  • Thomas cleared his throat, "The company didn't have any losses, but... I heard that he brought a woman home."
  • "A woman?"
  • Hector finally raised his head. He frowned and said, "Which woman?"
  • "I think she was an employee at the Excellent Company. The young master took a liking to her and snuggled in her arms. He didn't want to let go and kept telling her that he would take her in."
  • Thomas looked a bit awkward after saying that.
  • As expected, Hector's face turned grim, "Tell Rupert that I'll relocate him to Country F and make him manage the business there forever, if he ever teaches Solomon weird phrases like that again."
  • "Yes sir."
  • Thomas replied in affirmative and then he asked carefully, "Then, should I arrange for someone to go get the young master?"
  • Hector rubbed his aching temple and said,
  • "He doesn't listen to anyone when he is angry.
  • I'll go, give me the address!"
  • "He's in North District, in a residential area in the Flower Community."
  • Replied Thomas hastily.
  • Hector nodded. Without saying anything, he grabbed his car keys and left.
