The next morning,
Zayn stopped at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel. He got off the car with a smile as he finished talking on the phone.
Just then, his eyes fell on the figure of a little girl standing outside the entrance of the hotel with outstanding temperament coming out of them.
When he saw the little girl, his mind was thrown into a daze as he ramped his mind for the identity of the child, then he recalled that he had run into her at the amusing park that day.
Upon seeing the child, his mind flickered and suddenly had the surreal to the child.
this was a strange feeling he had.
Erica was about to take a detour when she saw him, he waved his hands to stop her. Erica wore a grimace as she didn't understand why a strange man would approach her like that.
“Excuse me, Mister? What do you want from us?”
While she asked the question, Jenna raised her head to see the man standing in front of them in his full glory.
She recognized him almost instantly.
"Zayn did not reply and crouched in front of Jenna."That day you agreed to go to my dessert shop. Are you available now?"Normally, Jenna would have followed him, but now …Feeling Mommy's unhappiness, she shook her head, "I ate too much yesterday … I don't want to eat now!" Zayn laughed knowingly.
After this answer, she felt her mind go blank as she remembered that she hadn't met the man yesterday, but the thought of having yummy pastries and desserts made her lose her senses in an instant.
However, none of them noticed that a slim figure wearing a cap flashed through the flower bed in front of them.
Children always didn't understand the complex matters of adults. Hearing Zayn said "next time then" disappointedly, Jenna immediately cried out. Passers-by saw Jenna pounce into Erica's arms, so Erica was so embarrassed that she hoped to disappear.
“I'm sorry, Mister. But we still have somewhere else to visit tonight. Well see you later”.
With that, she took hold of the little girl's hand and led her toward the car.
“Don't worry, I promise to take you to go have some desserts and pastries later, only if your behalf well and don't embarrass mommy in public again” Erica warned as she led her toward the car.
Jenna nodded her head knowingly but she was still not satisfied with the result, she wanted to have the desserts now and not late, she didn't have any other choice since she didn't want Bethany to get mad at her for not doing as she said.
An hour later, they arrived at the Deluxe company.
As soon as they got into the office, Jenna took out her toys and started doing around with them. When Erica saw that she was way out of reach, she quickly put a call across to Bethany.
“You won't believe what happened just a while ago,” She said, immediately the line got connected.
“Yes, I understand. let's talk later”
Erica nodded when she realizes that Bethany might be in the Blue Ridge company at the time, so she couldn't talk for long.
That's must be it.
Erica thought before dropping her phone on the desk after the call got disconnected.
In the afternoon, Zayn was sitting on his chair behind the desk. He looked lost in thought as his hand kept flickering around.
Just then, Gael entered the office with some files.
He was about to drop it on the desk when Zayn suddenly hop out of his thoughts and asked in a cold voice.“ What have you found about my last kidnapping?" Zayn asked leaning back on the chair.
“I got a few words..... Henry is involved”.
“Henry” Zayn whisperer this name, a strong chill appearing in his eyes, “It's him. He still hasn't given up yet”
“I heard from our people abroad that he seems to be planning to return home shortly” Gael reported looking at him.
Zayn narrowed his cold eyes, “It's been five years already. It's time for him to return home now. Have someone keep a close eye on him, I should be informed as soon as he returns to the country immediately ”.
Gael nodded understandingly, then he seems to recall so etching as he said.“President Meyer, there is something else”
“Go ahead”.
“Mr. Renee called during your meeting earlier and asked that you have dinner with him later tonight”.
“Oh is that so? I don't think I'll be able to have dinner with him tonight. Cancel all of my meetings, I'm going out tonight to the Dessert shop” He instructed.
Gael wore a conflicted expression as soon as he heard the instructions given. he looked skeptical.
“President Meyer, I'm afraid this meeting is very important. You should see him even if it's just for a while. Moreover, he's coming over to the dessert shop as well. He had informed that he craved so I suggested you two have the meeting at the Dessert shop instead”.
“Okay. If that is the case, then. let's go” He stood up and push the chair away from a little.
In the evening, at Blue Bird cafe
Erica came into the cafe holding the hand of a little girl while the girl darted her eyes around the place to find a strategic place for them to sit down.
The dessert shop looked like a children’s park from the outside, but its inside decoration was as plush as a top-class club. To Erica's surprise, such a small shop also had a reception room specially built for Zayn.
Soon enough, they found a place and they found their way towards the table–it was a table for four.
As soon as they got seated, Jenna beckoned on the waiter but before he could make his way toward them, the little girl sighed a familiar figure from afar. She quickly hopped down from the chair.
“Hey!, baby! where are you going? Erica asked running after her.
Immediately saw the little girl running out, he was transfixed for a moment as he had never expected to meet them here around this time.
He crouched down when he noticed Jenna running towards him. “Uncle. why have you come here at this time? Do you want to have some deserts as well?” She asked squinting her eyes at him brightly.
Zayn softened his expression as he bent in front of her.“Remember, I told you about my Dessert shop earlier, so here it is. So, did your mommy bring you to have the dessert here as well?”
She nodded before replying.“Yes, we came here to have some dessert, after all, it's my birthday” Jenna replied clapping her hands.
“Is that so? Where is your mommy? I can't see her anywhere” Zayn asked looking around.
At that moment, Erica came running breathlessly.
“Why did you do that for, baby? Do you plan to make me hypertensive?” She asked.
“Why would I want to do that to you, mommy? it's just that I saw this good uncle, so I wanted to greet him. I'm sorry if I make you worry about me just now” Jenna said apologetically. her tone was so sweet that anyone would feel hypnotized listening to her.
Hearing this, Zayn was just grinning from ear to ear subconsciously. He didn't even realize that he has been smiling all along.
Erica quickly butted in as she suggested they go back to their seats abs have dinner. “Baby, You've greeted the good uncle, right? why don't we go back and the desserts now?”
“Okay, mommy. let's go” She took hold of Erica's hand and made to leave.
They have just taken a few steps away from where Zayn was standing when he suddenly called out to them.
“Wait, Miss”.
He walked up to them and turned to look at Erica face to face.
Erica kept mute as she fixed her eyes on the man standing before her in his full glory. She felt her legs wobbling before she managed to put on a straight as she smiled at him.“Yes, Mr. Meyer. What can I do for you?”.
Zayn looked down at the child before replying.“I have a reserved area around here. It's more quiet and serene over there, I don't mind if you bring the child over there for a quiet time, I think she'll enjoy her desserts more if she stays in a peaceful place”
Jenna was all smiles when she heard what he said. She was so happy that one would think that she has met Zayn more times in her life.
Seeing this scene, Erica was left in a dilemma as she didn't want to give the man an opportunity to get overly close to Jenna, Bethany wouldn't like that. Also, Jenna was going to feel unhappy if she declined the offer flatly without reason.
With these thoughts in mind, she quickly put on a sly smile that didn't seem to reach her mouth.“Thank you, Mr. Meyer. We'll really appreciate that as my daughter likes a serene environment but since it's a cafe, we didn't have any choice, but since you have mentioned it. then, how can we refuse?”.
“Come on” Zayn led the way to the private area, just a few steps away from the main hall.
As soon as Jenna was seated, Erica ordered some desserts and pastries for her, then she stepped away for a while to make a call right inside the room.
Outside the private room, Jenna ate the cake happily.
Seeing a cool sports car parked at the door, she poked her head curiously. A handsome boy walked out of the car. He looked very introverted and indifferent. The woman holding him should be his mother. She was also beautiful and noble.
After entering, Jordan looked at Danica with hesitation and desire. Danica forced herself not to roll her eyes, "Go, pick the food you like."With his mother's permission, Jordan looked happy and relaxed. Danica was even more dissatisfied.
After she followed Zayn to the entrance of the hotel, she heard that they were coming to the dessert shop. She originally wanted to go back and pretend to meet them by chance.
Then confront that woman. She didn't expect that this coward would insist on following her. Danica looked around and took a seat close to the private room. She could vaguely hear the sounds coming from inside.
she hadn't noticed that the woman was none other than Erica Burnett.
After she finished making her call
.She suddenly opened the door of the private room and Danica glanced at her meaningfully.
