Chapter 17 Going to the Company
Based on the previous guess, Alex thought Nancy didn't take after Mr. Brook at all.
Alex stopped conjecturing embarrassedly. He thought Mr. Brook was very handsome and well-featured. Mr. Brook had narrow and long eyes as well as a prominent nose. But the little girl had big eyes just like grapes and a delicate nose. She didn't have chubby cheeks, but she had cute and chubby lips.
So Alex concluded the little girl didn't look like Mr. Brook.
"Alex, buy some snacks that are popular among children. Cushions and blankets are also needed. You can buy other things that most children like."
James talked to Alex and then asked Nancy softly, "Nancy, what's your favorite fruit?"
Nancy held one of James' fingers tightly. She was timid, especially when she saw strangers in a strange environment.
"No...No."
Nancy asked in a low voice. James rubbed her fluffy hair and smoothed the hair sticking up on her head.
As soon as James withdrew his hand, the hair stuck up again. It also swayed lightly as if to greet James.
"Nancy, don't be nervous."
The Elderly Mr. Brook held Nancy's hand and comforted her in a soft voice.
"Nancy, you can do whatever you want here just like at home. You can also tell me what you want."
James standing aside was not to be outdone. "Nancy, you can tell me too. So what's your favorite fruit? If you don't have it, I'll buy various kinds of fruit."
Nancy shook her head, "Dad, it's too much. I can't finish it and I don't want to waste food."
Nancy's cheeks puffed up and said softly, "I want some grapes. It's my favorite."
"Ok. What do you want except grapes?"
Nancy shook her refusal and asked her father and grandpa, "What do you like to eat? You should also buy your favorite fruits."
"Okay. Alex, buy some strawberries. It seems that many children like them."
Alex bought all the things mentioned by James. And he saw a light pink stuffed rabbit toy in the store.
The stuffed toy was not too big and could be held with one hand. Alex remembered that Mr. Brook also asked him to buy things that most children liked. So Alex bought the toy without hesitation.
James was very busy. As the CEO of the Brook Group, he needed to deal with matters of overall importance instead of trivia. So James would attend many meetings every day and discuss with business partners for cooperation.
After James took Nancy to his office, he couldn't be with Nancy for a long time. But James was reluctant to leave.
"Nancy, you can talk to your grandpa if you need something. You can also ask secretaries outside or Uncle Alex to run errands for you, okay?"
"Just go and finish your work. I will stay with Nancy, so don't worry."
The Elderly Mr. Brook waved at James impatiently. He felt James acted like a regular old woman.
