Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 543

The taxi driver chuckled at the sound of the navigation voice coming from the back seat. The kid looked small, but he certainly seemed cautious.

Mason’s school wasn’t far from the Prospectus Technology branch, and they arrived in less than half an hour. After paying the fare and stepping out, Mason looked up at the towering skyscraper, at least dozens of stories high, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

He walked into the building but was stopped at the front desk.

“Excuse me, young man, who are you looking for-” the receptionist began, but her eyes widened in shock as she realized she was looking at a miniature version of Damon. She could hardly believe it.

Was this Damon’s child? But Damon wasn’t married, right? Could this boy be a love child?

At that moment, she felt like she had stumbled upon a huge secret.

Seeing the receptionist staring at him in silence, Mason frowned and said, “I’m here to see your boss. His

name is Damon Sumner.”

The receptionist was momentarily speechless. This boy’s manner of speaking was so similar to Damon’s- almost identical.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she regained her composure. “P–Please wait a moment. I’ll check.

She picked up the phone and called the CEO’s office. “Mr. Hogg, there’s a child downstairs asking for Mr. Sumner. He looks just like him…”

“I’ll be right down,” Spencer replied.

After hanging up, Spencer glanced toward the conference room before heading downstairs.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he spotted the small figure at the front desk and quickened his pace.

When he got a closer look at Mason’s face, he couldn’t help but gasp. He was certain–this was Damon’s child.

The receptionist began, “Mr. Hogg-”

Spencer turned to her with a cold expression. “If you don’t want to lose your job, keep quiet about the fact that he was here today.”

After that, he turned to Mason and said gently, “I’m Mr. Sumner’s secretary. He’s busy right now and can’t see you. Where do you go to school? Do you want me to take you back or contact your mom?”

Upon hearing Spencer mention contacting his mom, Mason’s expression changed, and he quickly shook his head. “No, don’t contact my mom. I came here secretly.”

“In that case, I’ll take you back to school. If the teachers notice you’re missing, they’ll contact your mom too,” Spencer offered.

“But… I still haven’t seen who I want to meet,” Mason protested.

He needed to confirm if Damon was truly his biological father. If not, he wouldn’t waste any more time.

Looking into Mason’s serious eyes, Spencer replied, “Little fella, since your mom doesn’t know you’re here, she probably wouldn’t agree to this. Let me take you back to school, okay? If your mom finds out you snuck away, she’ll definitely be upset.”

The thought of Nyla being angry made Mason shrink back a little. If she knew he had come to find a possible father without telling her, it would break her heart.

Seeing Mason wavering, Spencer continued. “Our boss is really busy today and won’t have any time to see you, even if you wait all day. If you want to meet him, you need to make an appointment.”

“Then if I make an appointment, can I see him?” Mason asked.

Spencer shook his head and led Mason to a spot out of the camera’s view. There was no way he could let the cameras capture Mason’s face.

“No. Even if you make an appointment, you’ll still have to wait. There are a lot of people who want to see our boss, and it might take a month before you get an appointment,” Spencer coaxed.

Mason pouted, clearly disappointed. He hadn’t realized it would take that long. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
