baby's phone buzzed in his pocket. he brought it out and read the message on his home screen.
**[boss your kids are about to leave, won't you even say goodbye?]**
**[I'm currently with my mum, I can't leave.]** baby replied.
**[beg me and I'd find a way to get you out.]**. baby twitched his lips as he stared at his phone screen.
**[I give you just 60 seconds, if you aren't here before then you're a dead meat]** baby replied.
**[boss you have to let your pride down sometimes.]**
**[50 seconds left]** baby typed and pocketed his phone.
luckily we are only few meters apart Ryan thought and walked towards baby.
"mama Wang, I have to borrow your son for 10 minutes." mama Wang smiled" ok, what about your niece?" she asked. he wrapped his arms around baby's shoulder and said "she's the main reason I want to borrow your son. she refused to leave without seeing her dad."
"I won't delay you then. I'd go and pay for theses stuffs. when you're done meet me at the cafe" mama Wang said and left, followed by her bodyguards.
baby looked at the arms around his shoulder with a cold gaze. Ryan noticed this and quickly retracted his hand.
boss must you always have to be grumpy Ryan thought and kept a there feet distance from him. this way he said and bowed slightly.
baby looked at him and shook his head. his phone buzzed again and he brought it out from his pocket. debit alert again what are these kids buying. he took two steps forward and Ryan followed suit. baby stopped and he stopped immediately. baby took 3 steps again and stopped, Ryan also did the same thing. baby spasmed his lips and turned back Ryan took two steps back bowed slightly. baby got annoyed and said "what do you think you're doing, skip the formalities." "yes boss" Ryan replied still bowing. baby started to get irritated and walked away because if he uses one more minutes with Ryan he'd surely faint from anger.
*******
"daddy" Pamela said happily. baby looked at the girl that called him daddy and the space between his brows twitched. having someone as tall as this calling you daddy is really awkward.
"see, I was not lying when I said that I met daddy." mia said.
"daddy, you haven't visited us for a very long time." Pamela said. "I have been really busy. don't be mad at me, how should I make it up to you." baby said and ruffled Mia's hair.
"take us to the amusement park." another girl said. "I want to go to the water park." "I want to visit the haunted house."
baby smiled and said "if we go to the amusement park, Hannah can visit the haunted house and Lily can go to the water park."
"yay daddy is the best." they screamed.
"when is daddy taking us there?" mia asked. baby glanced at Ryan waiting for him to pick a day.
"daddy's birthday is next month you can go to the amusement park then" Ryan said. baby coughed and said "uncle Ryan's birthday is next two weeks, I think that is a suitable day."
boss, don't do this to me Ryan thought.
"we'd go a day after uncle Ryan's birthday." baby said. Ryan heaved a sigh of relief and said "kids, it's time to go home." baby looked around and wrinkled his brows "where's Mary?" he asked. "she wasn't feeling too well so we left her in the car." their caretaker replied. "you left my child in the car? let's go check on her." baby said and walked towards the car. he opened the door and entered. he saw Mary lying on the leather seat. "Mary" he called softly, she opened her eyes and looked at him. "daddy" she said and sat up. baby sat beside her and said "what's wrong, why didn't you join them for shopping."
"I was tired so I told the them what I wanted and decided to stay in the bus" she replied. "are you sure you're ok? let me know if anything is wrong, you can always call me." baby said. and hugged her. he gave her a forehead kiss. Ryan rolled his eyes and said In his mind boss can you also show me this gentle side of yours for once? I also want a hug and a forehead kiss but he shook his body immediately i can't imagine boss giving me a forehead kiss it creeps me out. he looked around the car. very good boss! your kids asked for a limousine and you bought it without blinking but I've been begging you to buy me a 718 cayman GT4 RS model Porsche car since forever! your reply is always "you are rich enough to buy that for yourself. if you can't, continue riding your power bike."
"i have to go, Pamela take care of your sisters." he said and stood up. "daddy, they don't listen to me." Pamela complained. baby smiled and said "everyone, make sure you listen to your sister, treat her with respect. apart from me and uncle Ryan she holds the highest authority ok?"
"yes daddy." they said in unison and hugged him. baby checked the time and said "I have to go ok? I'd come to visit you later." and got down from the bus. he waved at them and closed the door. "wondering why I gave Pamela the highest authority?" baby asked. "no, I'm actually wondering why you bought a limo for your kids but haven't bought me the car I asked for." Ryan replied with his pouted lips. "you are rich enough to buy it yourself. if you can't, continue riding your power bike." baby replied. "waah boss can't you change your line for once? I'm poor ok? that is why I'm doing two part time jobs after school." Ryan replied with a fake sob. "we both know that is a cover, you are richer than me in reality." baby replied.
"she's kind hearted, she doesn't abuse her authority, she treats them equally and she respects her elders." Ryan replied changing the topic. baby smiled and said "very good but my aim is to train her, she needs to learn to manage the household. balance everything. when she turns eighteen I'd assist her to take back what belongs to her. by that time she'd only depend on her self and that is a few more years from now. we need to start the tests. she needs to start facing reality. let's introduce her to the real world." baby said. Ryan shook his head and said "got it boss."
"start" baby said. "I've prepared everything, I have stabilized our forces, everything is ready for Saturday except from you." Ryan said. "it is meant to be a simple business meeting but those people might play a trick. have you caught him?" baby replied.
"boss we almost caught him but someone stopped us, I think someone powerful is assisting him" Ryan said.
"mnn, someone dare to stop me? could it Hell Is Home Gang?" baby asked
"you're right boss they are the one." Ryan replied.
"I need to deal with those people, they've been trespassing lately." baby said. "how should I deal with them?" Ryan asked. "let's just wait, my spy said that his 10yr old son is the one attending the meeting on Saturday." baby replied. "what! what is he trying to do? he's clearly showing off his kid." Ryan said.
"he isn't, he justs was us to know that the kid is going to take over his position." baby replied. "what can a 10 years old boy do?" Ryan said. "don't underestimate him, the gang that said what you just said when I took over grandfather's position is now extinct." baby said. "what we have to do is wait and see what he is capable of." baby added.
"okay boss." Ryan said. "you can go now, your service is no longer needed for now." baby said. Ryan bowed slightly and left.
baby entered the cafe and saw his mum sitting in one corner.
