At that time, Selina was about to walk out of her office with some documents in her hand. She wanted to give them to Caroline and print them to send each department a copy, but as soon as she stepped out of her office, she saw that a little boy was there looking at the surroundings. Her expression immediately changed.
'Who...Who he is!?
His appearance is the same as Jackson's when he was small. His eyes, his expression, and even his posture is the same with Jackson's, ' she thought.
Joe then saw that a woman was sitting in front of a desk, and then saw that another one was holding some documents in her hand and was looking at him very surprised. He thought that maybe it was because he was so handsome.
He walked up to Selina, and said, "Beautiful sister, I'm looking for Cherry."
Hearing Joe's words, Selina instantly snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Joe instead.
Caroline then raised her head and looked at him as well. She was also very stunned when she saw his face too, and she also couldn't understand who the little boy was and why he looked so much like Jackson.
Selina asked hm, "You, you're looking for Cherry?"
"Yes, " said Joe childishly. He then looked around the office, and asked, "One of the sisters from the first floor told me that my mommy works there, but why isn't she here now?"
Selina was completely flabbergasted; it was too unbelievable for her. She squatted down and put her hands on Joe's shoulder, leaving the documents she was holding to fall down on the ground. "Your, your mommy is Cherry?" asked Selina.
If she had guessed it right, then the little boy in front of her was Jackson's son.
"Yes, " said Joe while nodding.
Caroline suddenly covered her mouth in surprise. She stood up from her desk, and asked in a low voice, "Is Cherry the boy's mother?"
Selina cast a brief cold glance at Caroline, which frightened Caroline and made her shut up.
She then turned her focus back to Joe, and carefully asked, "Do you know who your father is?"
Joe looked at Selina, and thought that even if he knew who his dad was, he didn't have to tell her. He even didn't know who she was.
"Who are you?" asked Joe. He didn't answer Selina's question directly.
"I'm your mommy's boss, Selina Lu." She didn't hide anything from him.
"Oh, nice to meet you then, Ms. Selina. Do you know where my mommy is?" Joe thought that he should be careful with his words, since he was speaking with his mother's boss, after all. He thought that maybe she could help him find Cherry.
"Your mommy had something to do today, so she has asked for a day off. I guess she won't be coming here today, " said Selina.
Joe was a little bit surprised by what she said. He thought about it, and said, "What? Didn't my mommy come here to work this morning? How could she have not told me about her day off?"
