You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 126

Earlier,

Sitting on a couch while waiting in a big luxurious hotel-like lobby, Adam was a bit uncomfortable. After his mom’s call, he felt unhappy making her worried again. Though before he went out, he already knew the outcome of his plan but with a great sense of displeasure about his father, he felt the urge to breathing and meeting his friend outside.

This was the only time he felt so stubborn.

Adam pouted and his eyes wandered around the lobby. He could not help to be amazed by how his friend had a big building like Sky Corporation.

After a while, he felt like leaving. He already missed his mom and he felt worried about her too.

So, without hesitation, he stood up to leave the building and decided to go home.

“Adam?” Just when he was about to take his first step out, someone called for his name beside him.

Adam quickly turned his head in the direction of the voice and said, “Yes! That’s me.”

The man was wearing a formal black suit and tie.

“I….I…I am… Ge..orge.. George.” Seeing Adam up close made George dropped his jaw.

‘What the hell am I thinking? No! This can’t be! One more stupid mistake and you’ll get fired! So shut your mouth and don’t make stupid comments in front of your boss.’

George couldn’t believe what he saw but he quickly erased his thought.

It’s impossible that Adam is his boss’ son. No way!

Maybe he was just deceived by their same level of handsomeness. One is maturely handsome and the other one is cutely handsome.

“Mr. George are you okay?” Adam shook George’s sleeve as the man froze on his spot and was lost in his thoughts.

“Ah… Sorry. Please follow me. Mr. Sky wanted to see you.” Remembering his boss is waiting for them, that’s the only time George had regained his senses from his shock seeing a little boy with a very similar resemblance to his big boss.

After hearing the man in front of him, his earlier decision had changed. His little mind was looking forward to seeing more of the building’s area, how big the building is, and of course, his stranger friend.

“Please lead the way, sir.” Adam cheerfully said then he followed George to the CEO’s elevator.

“Wow!” Adam’s hands were glued to the glass wall of the elevator as he was so amazed at the outstanding overlooking view of the city outside.

George didn’t say anything but he sneaked on Adam’s every action.

‘Who is this child?’

‘He’s the only child who had stepped foot in the CEO’s elevator and asked for him.’

‘Is he somewhat related to his boss?’

‘A relative perhaps?’

George had many questions in his mind but he forbade himself to ask Adam. In his work, he was just a listener and taker of orders, never to interrogate unless ordered by his boss.

After a while, the elevator sounded and stopped.

“This way please.” George said it formally.

And so, Adam followed with eyes rolling around each corner of the CEO’s floor.

‘Amazing!’

His little mind was absorbing everything he saw. Grew up in city Y, he could compare the huge difference between the two cities. He never saw a building in city Y as big as Sky Corporation. His knowledge about big cities merely came from the internet.

Everything is on the internet.

“Sir, we are here.” In front of a gold French door, George sounded to inform the person inside.

“Come in.” A deep voice replied inside.

Upon hearing the reply, George pushed open the door followed by little Adam.

“Sir, your guest.” George formally stepped aside to expose Adam who was standing behind.

“Hi!” Adam greeted Bill with a bright smile and a wave of his two little hands.

Bill looked at him without any expression and folded his arms in front of him.

“You may leave now.” He ordered George then George bowed politely and left.

Now that the two of them were left, Adam looked at his friend with his short arms folding in front of him.

“Are you copying me again?” Bill frowned looking at the young boy who was standing bravely.

“Nope. I just think brave men had to do this.” Adam answered seriously and tried to look sturdier.

Bill suddenly laughed.

“Am I wrong, Mister?” Adam felt a bit of an insult on his part and was curious if he had done it wrong.

Seeing the little boy’s disappointment, Bill held his laughing.

“Okay, why are you here?” Bill had no baby talks. He talked to Adam directly like an adult.

Adam felt relieved when Bill stopped laughing but his arms were still folded in front of him. He walked towards him and sat on the chair in front of his working table.

“Well, I need a friend.” Adam said with a heavy heart.

Bill frowned again. He looked at Adam seriously.

All people are afraid of him and this kid is asking him to be his friend.

Bill pushed his swivel chair away from his table, crossed his long legs, arms, and studied Adam very carefully.

“Are you not afraid of me?” Bill asked with eyes sharp as a hawk.

“No.” Adam simply answered showing his dimples on his chubby cheeks. His eyes were pure and innocent.

“Are you hungry?” Bill then asked.

“Yes!” Adam replied honestly. Indeed, he was very hungry.

“Let’s go.” Bill quickly stood up, got his coat, and went out followed by Adam.
