Chapter 2
“I don’t like it but my son loves it,” Wayne said and took out a box of the same chocolate from his bag.
“I bought a lot for my kid. Here’s a box for you.”
“Wow!”
Tammy’s eyes lit up when she saw the box of candies but she hesitated, “Mommy said I shouldn’t accept anything from strangers.”
“But…” Tammy then leaned towards Wayne, kissed his cheek and then grabbed the box of candies, “Now I can.”
Wayne was stunned and then grinned.
Gabe looked at the time and said, “Sir, it’s time to go.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“Okay. Little girl, goodbye.” Wayne got up and left with Gabe.
“Bye bye!” Tammy waved at him as she gasped at how handsome Wayne was.
“Tammy!” Her mother yelled.
The next moment, a lady rushed over, grabbed her little hand, and gently smacked it.
She said angrily, “Didn’t I tell you to stay where you were? Why did you wander off?”
“Ouch, stop hitting me!” Tammy exaggerated and said, “I dropped my chocolate and went to pick it up.”
The lady saw the box of candies and asked, “Where did you get this?”
Tammy pointed, “A man gave it to me.”
“A man? A stranger? Didn’t I tell you not to receive gifts from strangers?” Anna was furious and wanted to s***k Tammy.
Seeing that, Tammy immediately put on a lovely smile and said, “Mommy, I was wrong. I’ll give myself a 3-minute time out.”
“10 minutes!”
“10 minutes is too long!”
“15 minutes if you continue to haggle!”
Tammy kept quiet immediately and pouted as she left with Anna.
…
Southside City had changed so much since she left five years ago. There were countless skyscrapers in the city.
The next day, Anna woke up early. Having made sure Tammy was taken care of, she then took a taxi to the Carousel Group. It was Carousel Group’s seasonal recruitment drive.
“Hey, wait a minute!” Anna yelled when the door of the elevator almost closed.
“I’m so sorry, I came for… Argh!”
She rushed in, lost her balance, and lunged forward.
Out of instinct, she grabbed onto the person in front and her face was buried in his chest. And Anna was instantly dazed by his manly scent.
