Chapter 1028 - 977: Showing Off My Son
Pushing open Adrian Desmond’s office door was like stepping into a children’s playground.
Cartoon soft plastic flooring was laid out, piles of toys, a small slide, a tent, and all sorts of firearms.
The Big Boss’s office was entirely converted into a playground.
"Ah... Ooh..." Sheehan was delighted and couldn’t wait to get on the ground as soon as he entered.
Once inside, Adrian took off his shoes, put his son on the floor, and sat cross-legged next to him, watching his son crawl.
"Come on, don’t you love that tent? Crawl over to it yourself."
Adrian patted his little butt, Sheehan was too small to crawl yet, his small body contracted, inching forward like a caterpillar.
Creeping inch-by-inch, he actually managed to crawl a little bit, Adrian encouraged him, "Great, great, five centimeters more than yesterday."
Adrian sent a video he had just recorded of Sheehan learning to crawl to his friends circle.
——My son is a caterpillar! I wonder if he’ll turn into a butterfly when he grows up.
Once the video was posted, someone quickly left a comment.
Dan Taylor: Are you bored showing off your son and daughter every day?
Adrian replied: You think the sourest feeling is jealousy? No, the sourest feeling is not getting the grape and saying it’s sour.
Dan Taylor: So having a son makes you something special?
Adrian replied: Not really, try to have one yourself then.
Dan Taylor: Ahhhh...
Ward Penney: Looks great, perfect match for my daughter.
Adrian replied: Hmm, your daughter being my son’s sixth wife isn’t bad either.
Adrian looked up and was startled, when did his son inch over to the slide?
"Son, you can’t play with that."
Adrian scooped up his son, gently patted his little butt, and said, "You can’t even crawl yet, if you start running, I’d have to chase you around all day."
"Ah..."
Sheehan didn’t like staying in his father’s arms, he kept slipping down wanting to play on the floor.
Adrian put him inside the tent, he hid there, occasionally tapping the tent, and Sheehan crawled towards the sound.
"Son, are you hungry? If you’re hungry, we’ll go find mom."
...
In the meeting room,
Lemuel Carter thought since the Big Boss was here, it might be necessary to invite him to the meeting.
So, Adrian attended the meeting with his son in his arms.
Faced with a CEO who’s also a nanny, Lemuel Carter was at a loss for words, thankfully, Sheehan behaved well, didn’t cry or make a fuss, just curiously observed this person or that, his eyes resembling those of someone watching monkeys at a zoo.
"Sixth Master, say a few words, won’t you?"
"Meeting!"
Lemuel Carter: ...
Only money brings confidence, Adrian’s business was substantial, he completely disregarded this small security company, so he wasn’t worried about Lemuel Carter having too much power and absconding with funds.
Of course, Lemuel Carter couldn’t escape either, wherever he fled, Adrian would find him.
"Ahem..." With the Big Boss uninterested, Lemuel Carter also stopped being polite and proceeded to host the meeting.
"The agenda for this meeting is: to conduct public relations marketing for the company’s image, expand the company’s influence, increase client base..."
"We could hire a celebrity to endorse the company... or produce a bodyguard advertisement similar to recruitment ads in Westoria..."
A female employee continued along this line, "Best to add some romance... women love watching that now."
Lemuel Carter glared at that female employee, "Women love watching? Do you think our company is a film company? Shooting Korean dramas?"
"Didn’t you say to expand the company’s influence? I think my suggestion is quite feasible, isn’t there an overseas film about bodyguard themes with romance?... a female singer falls in love with her black bodyguard... wow, so romantic."
Lemuel Carter slammed the table, "If I watched this kind of advertisement, I definitely wouldn’t hire your company’s bodyguards for my daughter! Do you know why?"
Slam! Someone else slammed the table; in the meeting room, besides Lemuel Carter, Adrian held the highest power and was the only one who could openly challenge Lemuel Carter, and everyone shifted their eyes to Adrian.
"Not me!" Adrian said.
Then who?
Sheehan, seeing everyone staring at him, got upset, furrowed his brows and slammed his little hand on the table like everyone else. No wonder he’s the son of the Sixth Master, the force in his hand was even stronger than Lemuel Carter’s, resonating with a clang.
Adrian auto-translated, "He doesn’t like you staring at him."
Everyone looked away and carried on with their tasks.
Sheehan snuggled in Adrian’s arms, grew tired of watching, yawned, and fell asleep soundly.
Seeing his son asleep, Adrian asked Marion to fetch a blanket to cover his son.
Lemuel Carter and the rest continued the intense discussion; Adrian had lost patience listening to this. He paid Lemuel Carter high salaries and gave high year-end bonuses to make him work hard for him.
Since he was purchased to work hard, if a horse carried more goods, would the owner help lighten the load on the horse? As long as the owner’s brain hadn’t gone haywire, he wouldn’t do such a thing.
Opposite, Sienna Johnson’s office was visible; it seemed she had finished a meeting and was instructing her secretary.
This was why Adrian tolerated the boring meeting and stayed here holding his son.
Adrian stared at Sienna Johnson without blinking, only withdrawing his gaze after seeing her get up and leave without returning for a long time. He then looked down at his sweetly sleeping son and also felt drowsy.
...
"Manager Yang, keep your voice down..." an employee reminded.
"What’s wrong with speaking loudly?" Lemuel Carter said in frustration, these people were just talking without thinking, only coming up with nonsensical proposals.
"Boss and Sheehan are asleep," the employee whispered.
Lemuel Carter looked over...
Adrian was snoozing with his eyes closed, Adrian’s usual cold aura made female employees not dare to look directly, but now Adrian was asleep, like a drowsy wolf, even though they didn’t know when he might suddenly wake and bite, at least they could openly stare at Adrian.
——So handsome, so cool!
Lemuel Carter continued the meeting in a lower voice; employees also spoke softly, making it look like spies were having a rendezvous.
Lemuel Carter felt utterly frustrated, had he known, he wouldn’t have invited the Big Boss.
What a mess?
"You women, where are you looking?" Lemuel Carter realized none of the women present were seriously focused on the meeting.
"Look, his eyelashes are so long... like a mini brush..."
"The lips are beautiful too, wonder what it feels like to kiss them?"
"Curious? Go ahead and try."
"I have the desire but not the courage."
"Not much courage!"
The women were staring at Adrian, completely entranced... Lemuel Carter thought to himself: Femme fatale, femme fatale.
