Later, the staff joked that even an earthquake wouldn't stop their CEO from having a meeting.
But who would've thought a kid could make him pause such an important shareholder meeting to take him out to eat.
This was totally unexpected!
Leo started to wonder if the kid was the CEO's secret love child.
But the CEO wasn't gone for long.
He came back pretty quickly.
The meeting went on, but the kid didn't show up again.
Everyone was a bit curious.
Where did this kid go?
When Leo went to the CEO's office to get some documents, he found Mr. K had arrived and was playing with the kid.
No wonder the kid wasn't brought back to the meeting room.
Mr. K was the company's cybersecurity director.
Word on the street was, he was once a top international hacker.
Loads of big international companies had tried to hire him, but they all got rejected.
He and Jared were tight.
Rumor had it they were family friends and grew up together.
Jared treated him like a younger brother.
Jared pulled all sorts of strings to get him to be the cybersecurity director at the branch office.
When Leo walked in, all he heard was Mr. K and the kid discussing something about a DDoS attack.
Leo didn't understand a word.
He didn't expect this kid to carry a conversation like that.
They were discussing high-level hacker jargon, and it was quite the sight.
