Upon hearing this, Floyd’s eyes widened, and her little head shook like a rattle drum!
“No, I don’t want to tell Mommy!” She definitely wouldn’t agree!
“…How about this, I’ll go buy you some candy, and you wait here without running around, okay?” Ulric was worried that the child’s parents would be anxious if they couldn’t find her soon. He decided to help her out completely.
“Okay…”
Floyd tilted her head and thought seriously for a long time before solemnly handing over the five yuan in her hand to the handsome gentleman in front of her.
She then rolled her little eyes and confirmed again, looking utterly adorable.
“You won’t cheat Floyd out of her money, right?”
Who would have thought that the president of the prestigious W Group would be suspected by a little girl over five yuan?
Ulric chuckled helplessly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
He took the money, fearing that if he went to buy candy and the child ran off with the money, she might not wait obediently at the hotel entrance.
Ulric turned and walked towards the supermarket ahead, glancing down at the five yuan in his hand, his thin lips curving into a smile.
For some reason, that little girl had a magical charm that made him want to get closer! Perhaps it was because he was in his thirties now, or maybe… her eyes resembled someone he knew.
Even though his time was extremely valuable and he usually had no interest or patience for children, this little girl softened his heart!
A sudden thought popped into his mind-
How wonderful it would be if she were his daughter.
This thought made Ulric pause, and his dark eyes dimmed.
He feared he would never have children in this lifetime, whether a son or a daughter, because he didn’t want a child to grow up in a loveless family.
At the supermarket, Ulric picked several kinds of candy from the shelves-milk candy, lollipops, anything he could find! He had never taken care of children and didn’t know what she might like.
Of course, the five yuan was definitely not enough.
After paying, he carried a bag full of candy back, already imagining how happy the little girl with a sweet tooth would be when she saw it! Those familiar eyes would surely light up with joy!
But when Ulric returned to the hotel entrance, there was no sign of the little girl.
He immediately went inside to look and checked around but found no trace of her.
Ulric guessed that her parents must have found her and taken her back. But he hadn’t given her the candy yet! Did this mean… he owed her five yuan?
After a moment’s pause, he walked to the hotel front desk and spoke in a deep voice, “Hello, may I know which room the little girl who was at the entrance earlier is staying in?”
The receptionist looked up at the sound of his voice and was stunned by his strikingly handsome face.
He looked like a celebrity-no, even more impressive than a celebrity. His face was flawless!
It took the receptionist a while to find her voice. “Sir, do you know her?”
“…Not exactly.” After all, he didn’t even know her name.
“Then I’m sorry, but we can’t provide guest information.”
Ulric raised the bag of candy in his hand. “I need to give her this.”
“In that case, I’ll call the room to confirm. Please wait a moment.”
“Alright.”
Ulric patiently stood there as the receptionist called the little girl’s room.
He happened to glance at the number displayed on the front desk phone: 908.
