My Mommy Is A CEO

Theodore was so smart that he noticed Nia’s expression at once. He smiled slyly and quickly stooped down to pick up the money. Then Nia just came to life and wanted to stop him in spite of herself, “Boy…”

Nia thought that the money Arthur threw at them was sort of… insulting.

“Nia, don’t tell my mom about this,” said Theodore putting the money into his pocket, with his grape-like eyes twinkling subtly.

Nia paused and felt a bit embarrassed. She actually failed to understand a child’s intention… Before she did something else, Theodore began to move forward, and she had to catch up with him. A woman and a child slowly merged into the crowd.

The afterglow gradually disappeared. Starlight emerged in the sky as well as a streetlight. Lucia was too busy to know about the time in her office.

Until there came a sudden blaze of light, she couldn’t adapt to it at once and blinked her eyes. As she looked up, she then found that Nia was at the door of her office with her hand on the switch, who looked at her with mixed emotions on her face.

For a moment, Lucia’s mind was blank. After a while, she recovered herself and asked, “What time is it?”

“It is already 7?” Lucia frowned after noticing the time on the wall and felt a bit sorry to ask Nia, “How about Theodore?”

“He is sleeping in the lounge. He’s sensible. I just wanted to tell you when we came back, but he asked me not to disturb you. And he soon fell asleep after playing alone outside,” Nia walked into the office and replied.

“Thank you so much for taking care of him all day.” Lucia really felt sorry. In fact, it was not Nia’s job, but she was so busy that she forgot to ask Theodore to come back.

Nia quickly said, “He is well-behaved and smart. I felt happy to be with him.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lucia just smiled. Surely, she knew about the charisma of her son.

Nia was momentarily paralyzed by her smile. She was really beautiful. Nia didn’t want to talk about her past, but it did confuse her that Jacob actually abandoned her and chose Poppy who was arrogant.

“What are you thinking?” Lucia saw that Nia was in a trance and asked her with a smile. She thought this assistant was really lovely.

Nia blushed and shook her head hurriedly, changing the subject, “Oh, Lucy, how about your work? Do you get it cracked?”

As they mentioned the work, Lucia lost her smile little by little and showed a puzzled expression. She replied, “The case is tricky. I can’t find any problem, though I have worked for it all day long.”

Nia knew that Lucia was in a pickle, and she hurried to say, “We still have time, Lucy. Take a rest.”

Lucia nodded. She understood she was in too much of a hurry.

Nia stepped forward quickly and took the documents from Lucia, raising her head and saying, “Lucy, just go home with Theodore. I will pack them up.”

“Really?” asked Lucia smiling. Indeed, she felt a bit fatigued now.

“Sure!” Nia replied sincerely which amused Lucia.

She nodded and said to Nia, “Then thank you for helping me. I’m gonna go home with Theodore.”

“Well. I have had dinner with him. So take care of yourself, Lucy.” Nia instructed Lucia before she left.

Hearing that, Lucia turned back and smiled at Nia, then she got out of the office after thanking her softly. And again, Nia stayed still and felt obsessive about her smile; it was so beautiful.

Lucia softly stepped into her exclusive lounge beside her office. As soon as she entered, she saw Theodore sleeping cozily on the couch under the subdued light. She came close to him, crouched down, and kissed his forehead.

“Mom?” Theodore woke up in a haze because of the warmth on his forehead. It was so lovely that the boy blinked his big eyes feeling confused.

“Sorry, my boy. Mom ignored you today.” Lucia sat on the couch, hugged Theodore to her lap, and said sorry to him.

“Don’t say that.” Theodore denied her words as soon as he was fresh and even admired her without hesitation, “Mom looks best while working!”

Theodore excitedly told Lucia what he saw and enjoyed today, of course, except the “Rolls-Royce affair”. He had his own intention. Laughing and chatting, they soon reached Jardín de Nieve.

It contained the most luxurious departments in Athegate. One floor, one house. And each one was high-priced.

Naturally, Lucia knew HQ had a high regard for her, thus she tried her best to cope with the mistake of the case. As for JTP Group… Jacob and Poppy…

There was a flash of sadness in Lucia’s eyes when she thought of the two people. Theodore next to her noticed it immediately and asked, “Mom, are you OK?”

His crisp voice made Lucia come back to life. She quickly refreshed herself and smiled at Theodore, “Nothing. Take a bath and have a rest. Mom still needs to work for a while.”

After bathing the boy, she hugged him to bed and gave him a little kiss. Then she went to the study alone.

No sooner had Lucia just left the room than Theodore got up seizing the iPad on the bedside table. He instantly contacted his friend Alice.

Alice was their neighbour in the USA. She was twelve, and she was also a member of the High IQ Society there, who showed a special preference for cyber technology. No one could know such a girl who looked like a doll with blonde hair and sky-blue eyes was a hacker ranked third in the world.

“Alice, have you completed what I asked you to search?” Theodore sent her a message without greetings.

“Of course. Theodore, why do you need the information of that guy?” Alice replied quickly, showing her confidence in her words. This afternoon, he suddenly asked her to dig up a man’s information. She felt it was such a waste of her talent.

“I want him to pretend my mom’s boyfriend!” Theodore didn’t hold out on his good friend at all.

“What? You gonna find a man for Auntie Lucia?” Alice was obviously shocked by his words.
