After hearing his name, many couldn't ever recall the owner having a little sister. Then again, no one knew a great deal about him including things about his family besides what they heard on the media.
The receptionist had almost dropped the receiver in her hand before looking at Mimi with uncertainty.
"A...Are you sure that's his name?"
She never dealt with this before!
Typically, the receptionist would deal with women claiming to be the boss's girlfriend. But not once had she had to deal with a small child claiming to be his sister.
How far did his fan base go?
"Of course I know the name of my big brother! He visited me just a couple of days ago!"
Feeling slightly shaken and confused, the receptionist continues to decide in her head whether or not she should call the boss or not.
Just as she was deciding a miracle appeared, Alec Hirogori and few other businessmen walking next to him came out of the elevator talking among themselves.
In his dark blue suit and pale collared shirt, Alec Hirogori looked like a pure, holy God. His blond hair, silk and radiant beneath the natural light. Alec's blue eyes dart toward the front desk and notice a small figure running in his direction.
Before anyone could react, Mimi had already run up to him embracing his extended slim leg.
"Big brother, I was just looking for you!"
Eyes wide, Alec Hirogori stares at the tiny child clutched tightly onto his right leg.
"W-what are you doing here Mimi?" He asks, disbelief clearly heard in his voice.
Everyone who witnessed the scene from the very beginning Mimi walked in couldn't help but feel completely stunned.
S...So she was his little sister after all?
Using her childlike charms, Mimi's eyes glow while she looks up at her brother.
Although a sophisticated businessman, he was nevertheless a young seventeen-year-old boy who couldn't help but find Mimi's appearance to resemblance a soft round panda bear.
"I came all this way just to see you, big brother! Aren't you thrilled?" Mimi snuggles tightly onto his leg.
Unsure of how to react, he coughs lightly before grabbing Mimi by the collar of her dress and hoisting her off his leg.
Landing on her feet, she looks up at him with tearful confused eyes.
"Big brother?" Her eyes reddened.
Startled by her reaction, his head starts to become dizzy.
Why was she suddenly calling him big brother?
Alec never spoke or saw Mimi besides on family gatherings. Adding that one time he helped her reach a toy she wanted on her top shelf. But all in all, that's all he could remember.
Was it because of Emily's death and the girl needed a new attachment?
If Mimi knew what her older brother was thinking, she'd surely punch him in the gut with her tiny, plump fists.
"Hey, hey, Alec you never told me you had such an adorable little sister?" A lanky young man behind Alec places his hand on his shoulder.
Looking up at the man showing friendly signs to her brother, Mimi takes note of his appearance. Spiky brown hair and green eyes, the handsome young man he smiles down at Mimi.
He's pretty energetic.
"I guess I never really thought to mention it," Alec said with a crooked smile, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
"Well, since your sister is here, we can postpone our plans for lunch. You two have an enjoyable time alright!" The man chuckles before walking towards the building entrance.
"W...wait..."Alec tries his best to explain to the rest of the men but Mimi grabs tightly onto his suit jacket.
"Let's have lunch together big brother! I brought money so we can eat out it's on me!" Without waiting for her brother to speak, she drags him out of the building.
