'The Si family's genes are really strong!' thought the staff there.
The little girl was standing there with her hands on her hip, threatening them, "If you don't tell me, I'll tell my daddy that you are bullying me!"
... They all felt speechless at her words, and wondered whether Mr Si's little princess was really two years old!
None of them replied to Melissa's question. She then went toward the door, but one of the designers there hastily grabbed her by her hand, and said, "Your daddy found a stepmother for you! She's at the 88th floor, and her name is Shirley Zheng. Dear baby, I've already told you all about it. Please don't tell your father that we've bullied you, okay?"
The little girl rolled her eyes instantly, and then she giggled, and patted the designer's hand. She reassured her, and said, "Don't worry! Sister, you look beautiful. I won't tell my daddy!"
...
This wimpy kid had really changed her face fast! They thought that the girl might actually have the potential talent to become a famous actress some day.
The designer was happy to be praised as being beautiful.
Melissa then scanned around the designer's department, but she didn't find Spark anywhere. She then ran out of the department herself.
The whole SL Group staff had known by now about the girl, and on her way to the 88th floor, a lot of people greeted and helped her.
Melissa went to the elevator's door, and a worker helped her press the button that went up to the 88th floor.
At the 88th floor
Melissa had just ran out of the elevator and walked into the secretary department. She was acting just like an adult, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, and her lips curled. She asked the secretaries working there, "Who is Shirley Zheng?"
Shirley then stood up from her seat and looked at Melissa. When she saw her, she began feeling distressed.
She had known that this girl was Janet and Daniel's child.
But this girl was too lovely, and she didn't hate her at all. She answered her, "I'm Shirley. Baby, what's up with you up here?"
Melissa crooked her finger to her. Then, the other secretaries burst into laughter, and wondered what this wimpy kid was actually going to do.
Shirley walked up to Melissa, and while crouching, she looked at her with a smile on her face. She greeted her, "Hello!"
Melissa scanned Shirley from head to toe. Finally, she seemed to reach a conclusion, and said, "You're not in your best shape, and you aren't half as pretty as my mommy. Why will you become my stepmother?"
Hearing Melissa's words about Shirley becoming her stepmother, the other secretaries didn't feel surprised at all, because they had all known that Shirley was Daniel's fiancee. What had really shocked them was that a two-year-old girl could make a sarcastic remark to Shirley. They were so shocked that they all stood with their mouths wide open.
They also wondered if Mr. Si's child was indeed a two-year-old girl.
When Shirley heard the child say that she was less beautiful than her real mother, she felt angry and embarrassed.
But even though she was angry, she wasn't so stupid as to offend Daniel's daughter.
She said, "Be a good girl, I have to go back to work now. Have fun around here." Shirley then went back to her seat, with her face all darkened up.
At that moment, the elevator opened, and Melissa turned around and saw a woman come out of it.
Miss Qin instantly went over to her, and inquired, "Excuse me? Who are you?"
Sabina raised her chin, and repeated her words, "I'm here to see Daniel!"
"Have you made an appointment in advance?" Miss Qin asked her in a courteous voice.
She thought to herself, 'What are the people at the ground floor receptionist's desk doing? How can they let anyone, coming from nowhere, come up to the 88th floor? Aren't they afraid of Mr Si?'
Sabina had been acquainted with one of the workers down at the receptionist's desk. This was how she had reached the 88th floor, through her internal acquaintance.
"I'm Daniel's girlfriend. Why do I need an appointment?" While she said this, Sabina then walked toward the CEO's office.
