The Twin Seeds of the Millionaire
Five years later
Five years later, at City N's First Airport, a young man came out of the pick-up aisle and he stood out among the crowd. He was wearing a black shirt and pants. Her lips under her sunglasses were pursed and she looked very unfriendly and unapproachable.
Seeing himself coming out, his assistant who had been waiting outside immediately walked up to him and picked up his luggage while asking carefully, "Master, little Neo hasn't eaten anything all day, can we go back to the mansion first?"
"Why are you telling me now?" The man's cold voice sounded as if he would get angry later and his assistant's legs trembled. Everyone in Villares' house knows that little Neo is Mr. Villares' most beloved person and he has protected him by all means to keep Neo from getting hurt. Even Mr. Villares did not dare to speak louder when talking to him and it is conceivable how much Mr. Villares loved him.
The assistant felt intimidated, but he braced himself and explained, "Because this time you're going to Chicago for an important business, I'm afraid I'm going to distract you, '' 'cause this time you're going to Chicago, therefore I didn't contact you by phone call, and I didn't expect little Neo to be going on a hunger strike all day as well..."
The man stopped. He removed his sunglasses and looked at his assistant. His eyes were pitch-black, yet slowly turned green as observed with the naked eye, even the atmosphere around him became even more tense bit by bit. Upon seeing that, his assistant could barely feel his legs and fell down.
Whenever Mr. Villares was angry, his eyes turned green. And it shows that he is angry right now...He will lose his job! "When did I give you permission to make a decision on my behalf? Hm?" He spoke in a much cooler voice.
"I, I'm sorry..." The assistant lowered his head and was ready to accept his fate. Just then, a small brown ball slid across the crowd and stopped beside Afonso Ambrose Villares leather shoes. The brown ball wrapping paper made him furrow his brows and he bent down, picking it up. "Master, that's my chocolate!" A little girl ran towards him while calling out to him in a soft voice. The little girl was about four or five years old. He was not tall and still needed to raise his head when Afonso crouched down.
The little girl had a pair of big eyes, her black eyes sparkling like agate and clear typical of children. Her naive appearance made Afonso's heart soar and she focused on him. He feels strange. It was her first time meeting this little girl, but why did she give him such a strong feeling? It was as if they had known each other before.
Zoe shook her head and extended her soft little hand towards him. “Master, if you want to eat the chocolate, you have to buy it yourself. I only have three brown balls, so I have no additions to give to Mr.” His childish words seemed to melt Afonso's heart as seen from the expression of his legs. “Do you like this chocolate brand?” Afonso crouched down and returned the brown ball to him.
Whahuh? His assistant who was standing at the side was very surprised. It was very remarkable, because Mr. Villares never liked any other child other than little Nwo. But why did she squat down while talking to the little girl and even talk softly to her like how she was talking to little Neo? That doesn't make any sense!
Zoe nodded loudly and grinned, revealing her two little white tiger teeth which made her look extremely adorable. "May you like this brand of chocolate too?"
...
“I don't like to eat it, but my son loves it,” Afonso said. He took out a box of chocolates from his grocery bag and the brand was the same. “I've bought a lot for my son. I can give you one of them.”
Zoe's eyes sparkled as she looked at the brown box, but she hesitated. "But, mommy said I can't take strangers' stuff. But..." His black eyes turned and he moved his toes, approaching Afonso. He kissed her face and took over a box of chocolates. "It should be fine!" Afonso was startled, but a smile broke on his lips. The assistant let out a cold sweat. He took a quick look at the time and reminded her. "Sir, it's time..."
"Zoe Chamber!" Hearing the angry voice of a woman from behind, Zoe's face wrinkled and thought she was cursed. The next thing he knew, the woman approached him and slapped his hips with an angry expression. “Didn't I ask you to stay there? Why do you keep running?”
"Oh, Mom, stop, it hurts!" He didn't feel any pain and just pretended. He then covered his hips and wailed. "My chocolate fell, I just wanted to take it." Realizing that she was carrying a box of chocolates in her hand, Winnie picked it up and asked, "Where did you get this from?" Zoe played her finger and replied, "A handsome Master thinks I'm sweet and gives it to me."
"give you? Why don't you go with him?" Winnie felt increasingly angry and wanted to slap her hip again. Zoe lamented and quickly covered her hips. He used his usual trick by staring at Winnie with watery eyes. “Mom, I'm sorry. I'll be facing the wall for three minutes.”
"Ten minutes!"
Zoe wailing. “Ten minutes is too long, why mommy doesn't care more about Zoe?”
“I will extend the time if you bargain it will be even longer!"
Zoe no longer dared to say a word. She pursed her lips and left with Winnie obediently while holding her hand.
...
Back after five years, the changes of City N were beyond his imagination. The city is full of tall skyscrapers. Winnie woke up early the next day. After taking care of Zoe, he stopped a taxi right at the entrance of the district and headed for the ST Group building located in the city center. Today is ST Group's seasonal interview day and there are a lot of people pacing through the turnstiles.
"Oh! Wait!" Seeing that the elevator was about to close its doors, Winnie rushed towards the elevator in her high heels. He gritted his teeth and managed to enter through the gap before closing. "Sorry, I'm here to...Oh!" He was too fast when he entered. One of the heels of his shoes crooked and he fell forward. He seemed to touch a silky smooth cloth with both hands and subconsciously grabbed it. He then completely falls towards the person and the strong smell of hormones makes him dizzy.
