"Woo! There is this huge project going! I have been so busy recently. I'm sorry to disrupt your schedule. You have to come over. We need to sign this quick. " Clara said.
"It's fine. I still count on your help in the future."
Amelia walked out of the conference room with the contract. When she saw the little boy sitting at the door, his words just appeared in her mind. "I don't have a mom."
The little boy's voice was tender but full of chills.
He looked about the same age as Luna. At first glance, he and Luna were somewhat similar.
Amelia checked again with the little boy in front of her. His face, flushed red by the heat, concealed a bit of his indifference. His eyes were so bright, as if there were stars inside.
He does look a bit like Luna. But their personalities are very different.
The little boy felt Amelia's gaze. He looked up and looked at Amelia. Then he jumped off the chair, walked up to her and held her hand naturally.
Amelia felt his hands go soft. "Claelse, I'll go back first if there's nothing else you need me for."
"Okay, call me if you need anything." Clara Wood was surprised when she saw the little boy, but she didn't say much about it.
"Clara?"
Amelia was about to leave when Ivy walked out of another room.
She has changed her clothes into a white suit jacket draped over her shoulders, with a pink skirt underneath. Her chestnut-colored curly hair was put to one side, charming yet innocent.
"Ivy, your meeting is over?" Clara saw Ivy, and immediately put on a smile and greeted her.
Ivy shook her hand politely, but kept her eyes on Amelia behind her.
Clara immediately introduced: "Ivy, this is the new voice actress signed by our company. This time, she is just the right person to work with the ‘Always With You’ crew."
"I've always heard that Legend Media is considerate to employees. It seems to be true. How nice to bring a family member during working hours." Clara was interrupted by Ivy before she could finish her words.
She said it softly, but the words were full of thorns.
Clara looked at Ivy, then at Amelia. She didn't understand what Ivy meant, and laughed dryly. "What a coincidence. Ivy, you and Amelia have the same last name. Maybe you two were related a long time ago."
"Clara, you are so funny. You just signed my sister."
Clara’s smile stiffened on her face.
Ivy laughed suddenly. "I'm joking. Clara, you're so gullable!" She walked straight to Amelia and scanned her a few times. "I am not sure whether we are related. But now we are all in the Legend Media Family, aren’t we? Hope we can work together well in the future."
She gave Amelia a deep stare.
Clara has been in the industry for a long time. She was good in understanding the sarcastic expression of these drama queens. Ivy's actions just now, had shown that something was going on between the two of them. And it was not pleasant.
She wanted to sigh for Amelia. It would difficult for Amelia, this talented newcomer, to develop her career in the industry, if she had already offended Ivy in such a short time.
"I am hurting." Everyone in the hallway was gone. Only Amelia and the little boy remained. The little boy's voice was soft, but Amelia could hear it clearly.
Amelia came to her senses and quickly let go. She rubbed his little head, "I'm sorry. Let's go, I'll take you to find your keeper."
Meanwhile, an important man was taking a walk on the second floor of Macy’s Mall, with a group of bodyguards in suits and leather shoes tagging along. Managers and other executives followed this man cautiously explaining the product to him from time to time. Obviously, he was the boss man.
The Mill Group owns more than ten malls in Seattle. It was the day of routine inspections of each malls. But this time, the CEO came in person.
"Mr. Mill, the revenue of the clothing section has increased significantly in February, May and August. The new seasonal campaigns were also quite successful."
A sudden vibration sound appeared. Taran Mill looked at his phone. It was his personal phone, for emergency.
"Hey."
" Taran, Hayden is missing! Oh my god, what are we going to do?"
Before Taran could speak, Simon's cry came from the phone.
"Taran, I am sorry. I should have told you earlier. The old lady was arranging a blind date for you. She was asking Hayden’s opinion. It turned out that your boy didn't like any of his ‘new moms’so he ran away from home. He messaged me that he would come to me. But I've been waiting for more than an hour now, and he hasn't come yet. Now I can't reach him on the phone!"
Taran's face was gloomy after hearing this. No one would come near him because the man was clearly not pleasant right now.
Everyone was looking elsewhere, dare not to bother their boss, for fear that Taran would take it out on them.
"What are we going to do, Taran? Will Hayden be in danger? I am so doomed. I messed up big time! Grandma is going to kill me!"
"Shut up!" Taran interrupted him coldly, "Has you checked the surveillance?"
"Oh,oh, wait! I'll check the surveillance."
Simon hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Taran said coldly. "Ben, get Hayden's location."
"Yes."
"Let’s call it a day. You all know what to say or not say, right? I don't want to hear any rumors about today."
Everyone nodded when they heared the tone of this terrifying man. They would of course shut their mouths if they wanted to keep their jobs.
It was told that Hayden, this little boy, is the apple of the Mills’ eyes. If anyone dares to comment anything about him, the person will just disappear in Seatle the next morning.
"Daddy." Taran was about to leave Macy's when he was suddenly attracted by a child’s voice. Perhaps it was because he paid extra attention to children's voices, especially when he knew Hayden was missing.
He suddenly found a cute thing on his leg.
Luna grinned, with her dimples and small cannies, looking extra adorable. Her big eyes flashed, and Taran was in a trance. For a moment he had the illusion that she was his child.
"Daddy, you finally came to pick me up. I said my Daddy would pick me up in a while. But they don’t believe me. They said they are taking me home. But I don’t know them!"
Luna held his Taran's thigh tightly and pouted as she spoke. She was a little chubby and with her face put together for pouting. She was so adorable that everyone would fall in love with her. Taran bent down and picked her up, looking over her chubby hand.
Two men with quizzical eyes were staring at them. They looked horrified when they saw Taran, and hurried through the crowd to leave.
Taran squeezed her little cheek and instantly understood what was going on.
She was asking me for help. Such a smart girl.
