After Beanie dressed up, he put on a pair of sunglasses that almost covered half of his face.
Minerva had bought them for him. She hoped that the hat and sunglasses were enough to conceal his looks. She did not want other people to recognise him.
Satisfied with the get- up, she started to walk towards the door, "Come on."
Beanie rushed over quickly to latch onto his mother's arm, "Mommy, let's go together!"
"Alright."
Minerva and Beanie got into Nash's car a while later and took off. Once they've reached the company, Nash reminded, "Miss Minerva, Mr. Hanover has insisted that I take you back to the Hanover family once your hour is up."
"Noted. You can go upstairs and have a rest in the meantime. We'll depart from here in an hour."
"Yes, Miss Minerva."
Minerva then brought Beanie with her upstairs to her office. She had meant to leave him in the office and go about her business downstairs by herself but Beanie was terribly insistent on following her everywhere.
Therefore, she had no choice but to let him follow her to the third floor.
The group of employees who were seen working, looked a little like zombies at noon. Some had worked overtime the night before and could barely stay awake while some could be seen playing on their mobile phones. None of them looked as if they were even working at all.
When they heard the sound of high heels clacking from a distance, they looked up casually. Once they caught a glimpse of Minerva, everyone started to straighten their backs and sat upright.
Minerva was still their boss after all.
However, Yasmine did not share the same sentiments. Sneering, she started to antagonize, "Well, well, well. Look who's finally decided to show up! Asking all of us to work overtime last night on the design while you took your leave early? And you even showed up late today! How shameless can you get?!"
Upon hearing this, Minerva started to pull a bitter frown.
Normally, she would disregard these patronizing comments from her staff members. However, Beanie was here today and...
If she had known this was going to happen, she wouldn't have brought Beanie there in the first place.
Lowering her head to level with him, Minerva started to say to him, "Beanie, go up to the fifth floor and find Auntie Vera, alright?"
Beanie blinked his eyes that were hidden behind the sunglasses in confusion. With a discontent pout, he voiced his disagreement loudly, "No! I want to protect you, Mommy!"
The childish voice that rang out in the office
astounded everyone.
They could not help but gape at the little boy who was standing beside Minerva.
He looked positively adorable, standing next to Minerva with his fashionable hat and sunglasses. Even though most of his facial features were concealed by his outfit, everyone could tell that he looked outstanding.
He took a step forward just then and walked up to Yasmine, "Auntie, don't you know that talking down to people is wrong? My mommy suffered a hand injury last night, that's why she couldn't make it to the company. You can't call her shameless just because of that. You're just being rude now."
Everyone was rooted to the spot. This little boy spoke so straight-forwardly and had even managed to keep his composure throughout his whole speech. It was a pretty astounding sight.
Beanie made Yasmine feel like she had been reprimanded.
Yasmine flustered red after that and started to stammer out indignantly, "What? I'm the rude one? All I did was tell the truth!"
Beanie blinked his eyes a little at that.
He then turned towards the crowd.
"Everyone, did I not just explain my mother's circumstances?" He questioned.
Everyone was startled at that, fervently nodding their heads.
