Bright met Doris's eyes in the rear-view mirror.
He crooked his lips, "Devil."
Doris's innocent eyes were full of surprise and shock. "No! My father is so handsome and gentle. How can he be a devil?"
"You don't think I'm the devil because I'm your father," Bright's eyes were soft, "but I am very strict and even cruel to the company! It's not the kind of man you'd like, and dad doesn't want you to be scared, so we'd better go somewhere else."
"Is dad afraid that I should disturb your work?" Doris cocked her head slightly. "I'll be good, Dad. I'll just sit there quietly and not bother you."
"Just want to watch dad work?" Bright didn't think he could say no to her.
"Yes." Doris nodded, her big eyes full of expectation, "Can I?"
"All right, then." Bright drove to the office.
Bright parked her car, opened the door, picked up Doris and headed for the elevator.
They took the elevator to the top floor. When they saw Bright, all the staff greeted him. They held their breath and dared not take it lightly.
Although they were all afraid of Bright, they were also curious about who the little girl he was holding was.
The fact that Bright got married was known to all, but they had never seen Mrs. Lee, and they hadn't heard that Bright had a child.
Bright took Doris into the CEO's office. Doris looked around the big, comfortable office and said, "Dad, your company is so big and your office is so big, too."
"This is just a rented building, and when the new office is completed, it will be even more magnificent." HY Group's new office building in City H was already under construction, and City H would become the most important center of HY Group.
"Daddy's awesome." Doris praised her father.
Bright took off his suit jacket, grows up at his desk, and calls an internal line, "Masie, give me a cup of coffee and a cup of juice. And buy some kid snacks and fruits."
"Yes, Mr. Lee."
Bright walked over to Doris and sat down on the leather couch. "Honey, just tell me what you want to eat. I'll have someone prepared for it. Dad has to work and can't play with you. You'll get bored alone."
"Dad, as long as I can look at you, I will not be bored. You can give me some children's books. I will read quietly, and will not disturb you." Doris insisted. She was afraid that Bright would not want her to be with him.
"Good." Bright looked at Doris carefully.
Her face and eyebrows were like Rose, but he took a closer look at her nose and temperament, and he found it very similar to him when he was a child.
In Bright's heart, he had already treated Doris as his own daughter, and now he thought Doris must be his daughter.
"Dad, go to work. You must work hard, and earn money to support me and mother." Doris urged Bright.
"Mom has a job. She might not want Dad to support her." Bright crossed his fingers.
Although Rose was not career-minded enough to give up everything, she was definitely not a housewife.
She needed a job. She wanted independence and self-respect. She wanted recognition and value through her efforts and labor.
"I dare not." Bill glanced at Doris.
"Dad, Mr. Bill must have something important to tell you." Doris stood up for Bill.
"Yes?" Bright was about to hear that it was.
"Mr. Lee, the shareholders want you to go back to City J and take control of the situation. You can leave the matters here to the senior vice presidents." Bill relayed the views of the shareholders.
"What do I have to take those men's advice for what I want to do?" Bright frowned, "If they don't trust me, just fire me."
Bill smiled and said, "Mr. Lee, they didn't mean that. How could those old men fire you? The chairman of the board is the old Mr. Lee, and you hold a large sum of share. Who can compare the profits you bring to HY Group every year? The annual bonuses they receive are unimaginable, and they would be mad if they want to fire you."
"Mr. Lee, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Bill looked at Doris again.
Bright knew it was about Rose, so he said to Masie, "Masie, take Doris to the bookstore to pick up some children's books. Take good care of her."
"Rest assured, Mr. Lee." Masie reached out to Doris. "Doris, go with me."
Doris was very clever and left the office with Masie.
Bright got up from the leather couch and walked behind the desk. "Go ahead."
"Mr. Lee, the photo of Rosy Tanner and that of Mrs. Lee are identical after comparison. It proves that they are the same person." Bill told Bright the result.
