At the bustling airport entrance, a tender little toddler clung tightly to the leg of a man dressed in a black suit, his face expressionless. The child sobbed obstinately, "You are my father. I've been looking for you for so long, I've finally found you..."
This act caught the nearby bodyguards off guard. They hesitated, standing still, making no move. When did they hear that their boss had an additional little son?
The man being clung to cast a slight downward gaze, looking at the child who seemed to be from the same mold as him, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"What are you doing?"
At this point, Skyler, who had caught up from behind, saw Max crying and clinging to a man's leg, even the luggage trolley was not cared for. She hurried over, picked him up, and scolded the crowd, "A bunch of grown up men bullying a child? Have you lost all your humanity?"
"Mummy... You misunderstood, Daddy didn't bully me..." Max climbed onto Skyler's shoulder and sobbed, his gaze still occasionally shooting towards the stern-faced man.
"He didn't bully you? Then why are you crying..." Skyler frowned while consoling him and then in the next second, she exclaimed, "Wait, what did you call him? Daddy? Baby, you can't just randomly call people that!"
"No, i didn't randomly... " Max clenched his little fists, rubbed his eyes, pointed to himself, then to the man, "Mummy look, we look alike, don't we?"
For a moment, Skyler was stunned. Only then did she look properly at the man's face and indeed, there was quite a resemblance with Max! How could this be possible?!
A hint of unease rose within her. She held her son and headed to retrieve her luggage, intending to leave.
Unexpectedly, the man subtly smirked and with a signal to his bodyguards, they understood and started collecting the luggage.
Struck, Skyler stood her ground, casting wary glances at the man, "Sir, what are you implying? My son might have mistaken you for someone else, but you guys have no right to seize our luggage, do you?"
The man watched her quietly for a while, his eyes flashing complex emotions. Suddenly, his expression relaxed, he extended his hand, "I am Logan Salvatore, the top designer, welcome back to your country."
Logan?!
Skyler's pupils shrank slightly. Wasn't he her employer? Before returning to the country, she had already arranged with the well-known Salvatore's Corporation. Unexpectedly, the boss came to pick her up in person!
She awkwardly extended her hand, quickly retracting it after a brief handshake, appearing somewhat unnatural.
Who would have thought that upon returning to the country, she would cause such a misunderstanding with her future boss!
"Let's go," Logan chuckled, heading towards the door, "I'll take you to where you'll be staying first."
Skyler looked at his retreating figure, and regret momentarily seized her. If she had known, she would have gathered more information before making plans! But the contract was already signed, it was too late to backtrack now. All she could do was sigh quietly, and, feeling helpless, followed Logan while holding Max.
In the car, looking at two extremely similar figures, one big and one small, Skyler's expression became increasingly somber.
Could it be that her son was truly related to this big boss?
But... why couldn’t she recall anything about what happened four years ago?
Caught in confusion, the car suddenly came to a halt.
Skyler, holding Max's hand, got out of the car. She looked at the quaintly decorated small villa in front of her, feeling somewhat surprised.
This was the residence assigned to her? Wasn't it a bit too grand?
Before she could voice out her questions, she saw Logan had already entered, and so she hastened to catch up with him.
Coming into the living room, Skyler was once again astonished.
The gold-decked crystal chandelier scattered rays of light on the immaculate walls, creating a compelling silhouette that was strikingly bold and irresistible. Then there was the dark gray genuine leather sofa, the jade ornaments and jade vases placed in the closet, and the artistic masterpieces casually hanging on the walls, all silently conveying four words: The Ultimate Luxury!
It was indeed too lavish!
Skyler even felt that, despite designing clothes her entire life, she may not have achieved the financial capacity to afford such decor.
Seeing this, why would Logan so generously offer such a splendid house for her to live in? Even if the Salvatore family is truly wealthy, no matter how one looked at it, she is no more than a specially hired employee...
"Wow, Mommy, is this the place we're going to live in from now on? It's so great!" Max's big eyes were shining as he looked around, touching this and that with delight.
Skyler was somewhat embarrassed, standing still without moving.
Logan gave her a glance, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why aren't you going in?"
Staring at him for a long while, Skyler couldn't help but to frown, "Mr. Salvatore, I'm just an employee. Living in such a nice place, isn't it a bit...?”
"What are you worrying about?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Logan's mouth, "The company has always treated its special employees very well."
In other words, all special employees were treated this way?
With that, Skyler finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she were different from the others, it's inevitable to suspect that this man had some other purpose.
"Mommy, Daddy, can I go out to play for a while?" Max had been half-leaning on the window from who knows when, curiously looking at the flowers and plants in the yard.
"You go ahead, your Mommy and I will tidy up the luggage." Logan allowed Max to go out before Skyler could respond, leaving the space for himself and Skyler.
"Okay! Thanks, Daddy!" Max gave he thanks, and then he cheerfully ran into the yard.
"That... I'm sorry, my son comes from a single-parent family. He hasn't seen his father since he was little, so..." Skyler awkwardly tried to explain.
"Mm, I know." Logan responded casually.
Ah? He knows?
Before Skyler could figure out the deeper meaning of his words, Logan had already started moving the luggage.
Skyler hurriedly followed, her tone somewhat unnatural, "Actually, there's no need to tidy up, just put them in the room... uh, do we have designated rooms?"
After all, she was not entirely sure about Logan's identity, so she didn't dare to be too relaxed.
"The second room is yours, my room is next door..." Logan pointed in the direction of the stairs and explained seriously.
"What? Your room?!" Skyler was instantly shocked.
Logan stopped and looked at her, "This is my house, naturally my room is here too. Is there something wrong?"
So, this man arranged for her and her son to live in his own residence?!
Skyler immediately became vigilant, "Mr. Salvatore, what exactly are you trying to do? There seems to be no justification for a boss to house his female employees in his own home, right?"
"What do you think?" Logan asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, but he put down the luggage and started walking towards her step by step.
