There was a beep on the phone.
Before Ann could say anything, the other person on the phone simply hung it up.
Karl came out of the kitchen at that moment. When he saw Ann holding his phone in her hand, there was a trace of panic in his eyes.
However, he concealed it perfectly. He asked as if it was nothing, "Is Nikki asleep?"
Ann ignored her doubt, nodded, and handed the phone to Karl.
"Someone called just now. I was afraid it's something urgent, so I picked it, but the person hung it up without saying anything."
Karl took over the phone and looked at the call records. When he saw Rudy's name, the look on his face changed slightly. However, he just put the phone away casually and smiled.
"It's just a new colleague. Perhaps she dialed the wrong number."
Ann nodded without doubting his words.
Karl pointed at the hot dishes on the table, "You haven't eaten anything after working long hours, have you? I've already warmed up the food. Eat it and go to bed. I still need to sort out some information tonight, so I'll go back to my room now."
Ann watched as Karl entered the spare bedroom opposite her room, and she smiled as she turned to look at the food on the table. She thought that Karl was really a considerate man.
...
The next day, Ann began to get used to the pace of work in the new company.
But she would still be a bit distracted when she took samples. She feared that Phillip would suddenly appear again.
She had already sent his jacket to laundry, but it would probably take some time before she could return it to him.
After work, Ann took Nikki to buy some daily necessities in a nearby shopping mall.
When they were at the cashier, Nikki lowered her tiny head to look in the direction of the snack corner from time to time.
Not far away, a handsome little boy was having snacks there. Nikki even saw him waving his hand at her.
Nikki walked towards him subconsciously...
After paying the bill, Ann turned around and found that Nikki, who had been standing beside her, had disappeared.
"Nikki!"
Her face instantly turned pale. She immediately went to look for Nikki without even taking the things she had just bought.
...
In a KFC on the fourth floor of the shopping mall, Carson was stooping on the table. As he looked at Nikki, who was eating French fries and had ketchup on her face, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pinch her little face.
It was so smooth and soft! Just like what he had imagined!
He put on a seductive smile on his fair handsome face, "Nikki, is it yummy?"
Nikki blinked. Her eyelashes were still wet and her face was still stained with tears. But she replied in a cute voice.
"It's so yummy!"
Actually, Carson went to the mall with others, but he sneaked out. He happened to see Nikki, who was so adorable, staring at the snack corner pitifully, so he wanted to buy her snacks.
But he could never have expected that Nikki would not be able to find her mother after she got the snacks.
