Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 48

He was short but he carried himself with great pride. The boy’s handsome face made Zachary wonder where he had seen this face in the past.

The boy’s clear eyes, full of wariness and wit, were fixed on Zachary.

“Who is he?” Robbie pointed at Zachary.

“He’s our boss.” Ben then said, “Boy, did you meet a man in black at the playground in the basement level of Grand Plaza? Did he give a pretty silver box to you? Like this one.”

Ben unlocked his phone and was about to show Robbie the photo when Robbie huffed, “No.”

He did not even look at the photo, choosing to turn his head to the side.

“Hold on. Look at it first.”

“It’s a no even if I look at it.” Robbie folded his arm and asserted, “I have a great memory, and I never forget anything I see. I have never met anyone in black, and no one gave me anything. You’ve made a mistake.”

“Kid, it’s not right to lie.” Ben had now put on a stern look. “That man in black is a thief. He stole something from us, and that something is very important to us.”

Robbie raised his brows as he replied calmly, “You should look for the cops if you’ve lost something.”

“The man in black gave it to you. If you give it back to me, I’ll reward you but if you don’t…”

“I said, nothing like this ever happened.” Robbie interrupted. He questioned the man instead. “If it’s something so important, why would the man give it to a kid? This isn’t logical at all.”

His words rendered Ben speechless. The man took in a deep breath before he clicked onto the security footage on his phone. “Look. This is you, right?”

Robbie peeked at it, disinterested. He looked away, but his gaze returned to the screen. Registering what was on the screen, he froze.

In the video, a man in black rushed out of the restroom and knocked into the child in front of him.
