Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 30

"What is your name?" Catherine's question rang in the room in her yet to ripe childish voice. Her star like eyes stared merrily at her two guests; Jack threw the candy wrapper on the bin nearby before quenching her curiosity, "I am Jack and this is Ryan."

The girl replied, "Nice to meet you, big brothers."

Ryan was a born introvert and didn't like interacting much, even though he was curious about this young girl who was sending tingles down his heart he chose to stay mum and scan her with his watchful gaze. While he was silent Jack couldn't hold back himself from talking to this sweet kid; it didn't take long before he started throwing questions at her.

"How old are you, little one."

Catherine showed him her chubby palm with five fingers. Jack laughed, "You are really a kid..." She was just a five year old yet had more manners than many adults he knew. The boy couldn't help but adore her; since he was young he always wanted a baby sister but whenever he asked his parents about buying him one they used to scold him away. Even though he never had a sister of his own he still developed a serious sis con within himself; he wondered, if he had a sibling he would have doted on her more than anything.

He then asked, "What are you doing in this company all alone?" Catherine looked up from her play and replied, "I am here with daddy."

"Daddy?" Jack was quizzical. Catherine nodded seriously before pointing at a portrait which was hanging on the wall, "There that's my daddy."

The two boys looked at the picture which featured a majestic looking man in black suits, arrogance danced between his eyebrows as he posed for the photo like a king. Ryan recognized this man, he was Mr. Silva- the owner of this company; he had seen him once or twice when his father was having a video conference with the latter.

"Your dad is Silva?" Ryan finally opened his mouth to speak after a long time. The girl replied with a happy yes; Jack and Ryan looked at each other. This simple looking girl was actually the heiress of this bug company; he had heard his dad mention that Mr. Silva's wife had passed away few years ago and he only had one daughter. Who knew... The sole descendant who most probably will be deciding this gigantic company's future was actually sitting alone in a room, riding rolling chairs.

Jack looked at the girl and fell back on his seat, "So... We are on the same boat!" "Boat? Where is boat?" Catherine asked, she was still a child and had no knowledge about puns and idioms.

But this was something the lad didn't know, "What?" He asked back. Ryan cut him in and offered to explain things to the girl, "It means... We all are in the same situation."
