Karma's Ultimate Payback My Success, Their Downfall novel Chapter 54

Chapter 44

My heart raced, threatening to spill out all the secrets buried deep in my soul. I quickly pushed away all the thoughts and stood at some distance from that son and father duo. I couldn’t afford any drama here.

As I tended to my Jane, Zoe asked me,

“You are the same as me. Can you be my mom?

His query caught me off guard, I found myself at a loss for words in response.

Jane expressed her wish for Leo to be her dad earlier, and now, Zoe wanted me to be his

mommy.

What the hell was going on there?

However, Jane didn’t like Zoe’s request, she was clearly upset. Spreading her arms, she stood in front of me and replied to him on my behalf.

“Don’t you have a mom, Zoe? This is my mommy

Zoe’s adorable face lost all of its colors in a split second as he looked down sadly, shaking

his head.

“No, I don’t have a mom!”

His piteous cry for help ached my heart, I quickly stepped in to stop their arguments.

“Bad manners, Jane. Please don’t behave rudely.

Zoe was just a child, yearning for a mother’s love, it wasn’t his fault to ask a harmless query. I sympathized with his situation as he didn’t seem close to Leo. He didn’t even hug his son after finding him.

Jane,acted like a good girl and apologized to Zoe she offered him candy as well.

“I am sorry, Zoe.”

Zoe refused to take that candy and talked like an adult.

“We shouldn’t eat candy, Jane. It can cause a toothache.”

While the two kids were bickering, I took this chance to express my gratitude to Leo.

“Thank you so much for helping me find my Jane. I sincerely appreciate it.”

Leo smiled in acknowledgement; his tone was seft in response.

“I am glad to help you, Miss Becker.”

After this, some of the tension between us eased Just like a true businessman, Leo seized this opportunity and requested.

“I would like to sign with your company for this season, Miss Becker.”

His request turned my mouth sour, freezing my face expressions in a heartbeat. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him.

Leo’s help, his changed attitude, and treating me tenderly after Melody’s drama, all this was a play. Everything he did had an ulterior motive. He was such a cunning fox!

He has been investing in sports equipment late, but his business needed a great push which would only be provided by my company

Honestly speaking, I was surprised by the change in his principles. Leo was used to being arrogant, his self–made mindset was something he was proud of.

I still remembered that once I had asked my parents to pull some strings for Leo, he was a newbie at the time. Working with a renowned company could get him a shot at big compétition, a way to showcase his potential.
