After calming down my beating heart, I adjusted the seat to fit my new passenger whose eyes watched my every move.I looked at him after fixing his seatbelt and gently placed my palm on his head rubbing it.He gave me another smile and I nearly fainted.
GOD! whose child can be so freaking cute.
And that's where it hit me.
I had kidnapped a random child,
OH NO!
I turned towards him and weakly asked.
" Hey ummm... so you dont mind me taking you away right. Im sorry, I got carried away by the moment and didn't realize what I had done. Don't worry, I'll take you to your dad right away just tell me the directions."
He shook his head and said
"Its fine Kawaī imōto (pretty sister) I hope you dont mind me calling you that tho, no one has ever stood up for me.You were so cool talking back to that mean lady."
I smiled as I realized that he wasnt scared or thought that I was kidnapping him which was a good thing.
"Sure!"
I replied joyfully as I smiled at him
"Only if I'm allowed to call you my little dumplin."
I teasingly said.His eyes lit up and he reached in for a hug,which of course I could not resist.
"Okay now my little dumplin tell me the way to your father's workplace."
I stated, starting the ignition.
A FEW MINUTES LATER...
"Were here Kawaī imōto (pretty sister)!!!!"
Dumplin yelled, pointing to the biggest skyscraper in the area. I slowed my car and hopped out, walking to the other side and helping him out of his seat.
"Are you sure this is where your dad works little dumplin?"
I asked, a little hesitant to walk inside that building. Dumplin shook his head frantically, indicating that he was absolutely positive this was were his father works. I let out a sigh and walked into the building,
God! If I knew I had to walk into a building with business workers, I would have at least put an effort into my outfit... not that it really mattered tho.
As soon as we stepped inside a woman came running up to us and nearly yanked dumpling away from me.
"Young master Caleb!"--She screeched--"Your father is very worried about you ever since Natalie called and said some random stranger kidnapped you"
Then she turned to me and cleared her throat.
"Thank you for bringing the young master back, I will see to it that you be paid heavenly,
but if you could just give me young master Caleb I would take him to his father first and then attend to your requests of payment."
Even though her tone was formal, she gave me a wicked smirk clearly indicating something else.I stepped infront of Caleb and stared at her with dead cold eyes; keeping my tone formal,
"Thank you miss, but I think it would be better if I personally introduces myself to Caleb's father; plus... im pretty sure Caleb doesn't want to go with you either."
I said as I turned to Caleb who was shaking his head, clearly agreeing with me.
The woman looked at me in suprise and after a few moments she turned around.
"Follow me"
Can people be any more annoying!? and whats with that arragont tone anyways..
Jeez, I swear did everyone just wake up with a headache?
I picked up Caleb in my arms and followed the woman, who was waiting inside the elevator. I walked in and admired the elevators interior design. The glass doored elevator gave a mirror like reflection, the buttons were covered in gold and there was a seat made of velvet cushions.
Damn! Even the elevator looked like it was made for royals, Now I totally felt out of place.
"Ding!" The elevator sounded as it went up. I turned my head to the woman who was silently standing at the corner of the elevator,
Her blonde hair was tied into a tight bun that looked like the cause of her headaches ( arragont behavior) and her face was decked with makeup (was that even allowed to have so much makeup in a business?) she wore a pencil thin red skirt and paired it with a white blouse and golden sandels, her neck bore a golden chain while her ears had a matching set of diamonds and her brown eyes stared... no correction glared at me. I glared back at her, obviously I wasnt going to let some barbie doll scare me off now was I?
Dumplin, oblivious to the staring contest happening between the two of us, pulled at my jacket and whispered that the lady, (Miss.Stacy),was his father's P.A (personal assistant).
ohhhhhhhhh
no wonder she didnt like me, not only is she arrogant but also has an ego the size of her headache issues.
I patted Dumplin's head as a way of saying thanks for the information he gave me. Miss Bit-- I mean Miss.Stacy watched our little exchangement and narrowed her already glaring eyes at me.the
"Ding!" The elevator rang, indicating that we had reached the top floor. Great! time to meet my little Dumplin's father.We walked out of the elevator only to be greeted by a glass enclosed room.The secretary entered through the door slamming it but not before smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at her childish behavior. And that's when sense came knocking on the door of my mind.
Isn't the top floor naturally the boss's floor, so... what are we doing here....
I invested my time wisely and looked around the room, a glass enclosed room that had two desks on either side of it that both accompanied one person, beautiful vines hung in the corner as a shelf of books were incased into the wall. The deafening silence was to much as the only sound heard were of that of typing. After a while, the curious gaze of the two other people on that floor were beginning to make me uncomfortable, but I ignored them as I took Caleb to a couch placed in the far end of the room.The secretary came back out and looked at me with an evil glint that flashed in her eyes.
"Boss would like to see you know."
She said her tone laced with poison. I shook my head,erasing my train of thoughts and smirked as I stood up and walked past her, entering the room with Caleb in my arms.
And my thoughts came flying back...
What did she just say?..
BOSS!?... WAIT.....
I haulted my movements as I looked at Caleb.
"Little Dumplin,"--I started "What kind of work does your father do?"
"Oh! Well daddy runs this company"
came Caleb's short reply as he tightened the hug, trying his best to wrap his short, chubby arm's around my neck .
...
Little Dumplin..... your father is the C.E.O!?
