Keira asked, “What’s his name?”
She was quite curious about who this “Grandson” was.
Given the wide range of her work, there was a chance they had met.
The old lady gestured her over. Keira bent down, moved closer, and then heard what the old lady said. “I’ll only tell you. You mustn’t tell anybody else!”
“Okay.”
The old lady cleared her throat, “His nickname is Puppy.”
Keira was dumbfounded.
The old lady explained, “My grandson was born in the year of the dog. He was only a little over two pounds at birth. The doctor said he wouldn’t live long, so I gave him this name, hoping it would bring him good luck!”
“…”
Keira’s mouth twitched, barely holding back her laughter.
From the old lady’s words, it was clear that her grandson was at least the CEO of a company. Did his subordinates even know he was called Puppy?
Just as she was about to ask his real name, the old lady started speaking again, “Granddaughter-in-law, the clothes here aren’t good. Would you accompany me home to get a few more this evening?”
Keira had just heard the old lady’s voice message to “Grandson”, so she knew he would be home too.
Since they had agreed to meet, she didn’t decline. “Okay.”
After finding a nice place to have lunch, Keira was planning to send the old lady home to rest and then go to see Lewis Horton.
But the old lady said, “I’m not tired at all. I’ll go to work with you. When you finish work, you can go home with me.”
She seemed to be afraid that Keira might regret it and not go home with her.
Such an old baby…
Keira agreed in resignation.
–
They arrived at the site of a charity donation event organized by the government.
Keira arranged for the old lady to go to the resting room and then, with her press ID in hand, took her seat in the hall.
Today, Lewis Horton would be representing the Horton Group in making a donation.
She sat right in the middle of the front row in a perfect position to be seen by him.
She even talked to the organizers so that she would be picked to ask a question later.
In front of all the people, she was planning to hint to Lewis Horton that he should check his marriage status at the Bureau of Civil Affairs!
Upon hearing the hint, Lewis wouldn’t look too happy.
Keira imagined a wonderful scene.
The activity began, and soon the host mentioned the name of Horton Group.
Keira was excited and was waiting for Lewis Horton, but she saw Tom Davis on the stage.
Tom gave Keira a meaningful glance, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Horton had something else come up today. However, the donation from Horton Group must still be delivered as planned…”
Keira’s smile froze on her face.
She took out her phone and saw a message that Samuel sent her five minutes ago. “Boss, all of Lewis Horton’s recent schedules have been temporarily changed!”
What a cunning man!
But it likely wasn’t because of her. After all, in Lewis Horton’s eyes, she was someone he could easily ignore.
It was likely that he had discovered his schedule had been leaked and had to change it temporarily for safety reasons.
Who was he attempting to avoid?
…
Keira continued her interview. In the end, she handed over the equipment and interview materials to a colleague from the same newspaper and let them leave first.
