Chapter 7
Samantha smiled, and said, "Also, he looks fierce and very taciturn. After all, you can tell me directly if you have any problems in the future. I will help you to tell Migs. That would be more convenient."
Even though she said before that she would have less contact with Migs Lopez, she didn't mind it and just took it as a kind reminder from a good friend.
"Well, no problem. Do you have time in the evening? Let's have a meal together?" After all, you introduced me to such a big business. If I don't thank you, that would be unfair.
"Okay, tonight."
"Well, good. Bye."
Maria hung up the phone, walked to the sofa, sat down, and glanced at the contract. It was already a professional habit as a lawyer. However, after reading the contract, she found out that the benefits provided by Migs were good.
He’s worthy of being the president of the Lopez Group. Lavish!
M.Y Law Firm is a company founded by Maria and her good friend Jim three years ago.
At the beginning of the establishment, she provided most of the funds and occupied a relatively high share of the company.
But the company here has been entrusted to Jim.
But Jim suddenly clamored to go abroad to open a branch.
After the two discussed, Maria decided to return to Bridgetown to manage the main office of the M.Y Law Firm, while Jim was in-charge of the overseas branch.
Maria had just taken over the head office. She needed to be familiar with so many things and understand a lot of affairs. She was very busy all morning.
After lunch, Maria had just sat on the executive chair while looking at a copy of the information in her hand when the phone suddenly rang.
The harsh sound interrupted Maria's work. She twisted her eyebrows in displeased, reached out and pressed the hands-free button.
"What's the matter?" she asked coldly.
"Ms. Martin, there is a little boy looking for you in the lobby, claiming to be your son.", said the receptionist.
"Son?"
The corners of Maria's mouth twitched wildly. She has only one daughter, who is still abroad.
Where did a son pop up?
"It must be a mistake. Call the police..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a crisp voice coming from the phone, "Mommy, I'm Ben. Mommy, I missed you."
The voice sounds familiar.
Maria frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the little guy should be Migs' son, Ben.
"Oh my God!"
Helplessly stretched out her hand to support her forehead, she was really conquered by the little guy.
It's just a four-year-old child who can still find her here.
That is the son of her future boss, how can she neglect?
"Bring the little guy to my office." In desperation, Maria had to ask the front desk to bring the little guy to the office.
Hanging up, Maria picked up the phone and called Samantha.
But after she dialed the number, it rang a few times, but no one answered it.
No way! Maria could only make an internal call to her assistant Fatima and asked her to contact the Lopez Group and tell its boss that his son is here.
"Mommy? Mommy?"
Maria just hung up the phone. Her office door pushed open, and a small head came in, smiled at her and called her with a small voice.
"Ms. Martin, I have brought the child here.", the beautiful front desk staff walked slightly towards Maria.
"Well, go down."
She waved her hand and immediately said, "Wait a moment. Would you help me buy some snacks?", Maria drew some money from her wallet and handed it to the front desk staff.
"Okay, I'll go now.", the front desk staff left the office.
Ben is dressed in a white shirt, a bow tie around his neck, black overalls and small black leather shoes.
His white cheeks are like pink jade, and he looks a little fat. His big black eyes which flicker, and his smile are very cute.
"Mummy, I miss you so much."
For some reason, Ben felt extremely close to her since the first time they met and seemed to be able to a mother figure in her.
Maria had a slightly embarrassed face, got up, bent over to pick up the little boy and squeezed his pink cheeks. "Little boy, your mother is Samantha and not me. Do you know what to call me in the future? You can call me auntie, but you can’t call me Mommy. Otherwise, your Mommy Samantha will be sad."
Although Ben is an adoptive child of Migs, Samantha will be the child's nominal mother.
If Ben calls her "Mommy" every time in the future and Samantha hears it, she will feel uncomfortable.
Ben wrapped his hands around Maria's neck, chuckled at her cheek, and took a bite.
He smiled, shook his head, "You are my mommy. Aunt Sam is not my mommy."
At a young age, he was serious about talking to Maria, "Aunt Sam will have babies with daddy in the future.". Ben is so young that even his pronunciation is still not that clear.
Maria was speechless.
Are all kids so smart now?
"Little boy, how do you know I work here?"
Maria didn't want to continue be closed with the little boy, so she changed the subject.
Unexpectedly, Ben raised his eyebrows, stretched out his chubby little finger and pointed at his cheek, "Kiss me first and I will tell you."
