Chapter 82 "No!"
Ivan held Angela in his arms and turned back into the Winston Group building. Two hours ago, Luke told him that a little girl had sneaked in, and if he had come downstairs earlier, Angela wouldn't have been so scared. Such a beautiful little girl, almost becoming a little stray.
The crowd at the entrance looked at each other in surprise.
"Luke, what happened?" Ben widened his eyes. "Mr. Winston took the little girl away, nothing bad, right?"
Luke thought of Ivan's tone earlier and shook his head. "It should be fine. Keep an eye out at the entrance, maybe the girl's parents who lost her will come."
Ben nodded quickly and returned to his work station. Luke rubbed his chin. Why did he feel like the little girl's eyes resembled Mr. Winston's a bit? If he didn't know any better, he would almost think that she was the Winston family's child.
Ivan carried Angela to the top floor. "How did you end up here?"
He gazed at Angela, making an effort to soften his voice. Angela looked at him with wide eyes, not uttering a word. Ivan frowned in annoyance. How could he forget that Haley's daughter couldn't speak.
He raised his hand and took off Angela's dirty coat, and when he was taking off her clothes, the little girl revealed her round belly. Ivan had never undressed his two sons at home. As a man, he shouldn't be helping a little girl take a bath.
He frowned and gave up, calling out, "Kelly, come in."
Kelly was the only female secretary in the CEO's office, and because Ivan didn't like women getting close, she had a low presence in the secretary department. It was the first time Ivan had directly called her by name.
Kelly entered in high heels and immediately saw the dirty little girl standing on the sofa.
The sofa was beige, but now it had turned into a muddy color.
Kelly averted her gaze and respectfully asked, "Mr. Winston, what are your orders?"
"First, give her a bath," Ivan said. As he finished speaking, Angela suddenly jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into his arms.
She held onto his neck tightly, trembling in fear. As if he was the only person who could make her feel safe. The feeling filled Ivan's heart with tenderness.
He sighed silently and his voice became even softer and deeper. "Angela, let this auntie help you take a bath. After you're done, we'll go find mommy."
But the little girl stubbornly held onto his neck. Ivan's neck and face inevitably got dirty too.
Kelly's brow furrowed. She couldn’t believe Mr. Winston, and the patience he had with this little girl.
She was also confused, Kelly knew that Mr. Winston has two sons, when did he have a daughter. Even with the various thoughts, flashing through her mind, she had a sweet smile on her face.
"Little one, would Auntie help you take a bath? Auntie will be very gentle, and won't hurt you."
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Angela's arm.
Knowing that no matter who this little girl is, she definitely can't afford to provoke her. Mr. Winston has such great patience with this little girl, if she could win her favor, perhaps she could also impress Mr. Winston. With that thought in mind, Kelly exerted even more force.
"No!" a scream came out of Angela's mouth.
Ivan's face changed, and he coldly said, "Let go of her, you get out!"
Kelly turned pale in fright. “I’m sorry, Mr. Winston, I didn’t mean to”…"
"Leave. Now!" Ivan held the child tightly, his expression filled with questions. Wasn't this child unable to speak? How did she just say no?
