At the sight of the man, Adie put his small computer into his briefcase nonchalantly. He then took off his sunglasses, revealing his round, shiny, tiger-like eyes, and said sweetly, "Hello, mister. Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, what a little good guy!"
The previously ferocious security guard's heart melted instantly the moment he had a good look at the face of the small handsome man. He smiled calmly and said, "What's your name, little guy? What are you doing here? Where are your parents?"
Little Adie was well aware that his cute and harmless face was his biggest weapon. No ordinary man would be able to resist once he saw his face.
Therefore, he deliberately blinked his eyes and put on a pitiful look, and started manipulating the man.
"Mister, I am waiting for my dad to get off work here. I feel so bored, but I can only play a game here. Aren't I look pathetic?"
"That's too much!" The security guard felt very sorry for Aide when he saw him frowning and said angrily, "Who is your father? He is too irresponsible. How could he leave such a small kid alone outside? What if you encounter a bad hat and get kidnapped?"
"I have no choice. Daddy is too busy. If only someone could take me to him If…"
When the little guy said that, he lowered his head sadly and touched the tips of his forefingers.
"Anyway, I better not trouble other people. Moran Group is so big and has many impressive people inside. How can a small kid like me get in? If I really encounter a bad guy, I will just run faster. Go ahead with your work, mister.
Don't worry about me."
"Um…"
The security guard hesitated at first, for Moran Group was known for its strict security, and they never arbitrarily allowed anyone in, let alone a child. But when he saw this little one being so thoughtful and so pitiful, he suddenly grabbed the kid's small hand and said on impulse, "You are so adorable. I can't let you stay outside alone. How about this? I will bring you to the lounge first, and you wait there until your father gets off work, okay?"
"That would be wonderful. You are so kind, mister. I will ask my daddy to give you a raise when I get the chance," Little Adie promised very seriously.
He was not saying this for fun. Mommy had taught him that one shouldn't be ungrateful and that kindness had to be repaid.
The security guard was amused. He rubbed Adie's soft hair and said, "You are quite generous to make your daddy give me a raise, little guy. Who is your daddy? The security chief? Or… Mr. Moran?"
His joke was nothing serious, but the security guard suddenly realized something and widened his eyes. As if studying an alien creature, he stared fixedly at Adie, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
'You don't say. I think that you look rather familiar. I think have seen you somewhere… Come to think of it. You do look a little too much like Mr. Moran. You are a carbon copy of Mr. Moran, just a smaller version. Your daddy can't be our Mr. Moran, right?"
It was common that the wealthy had illegitimate children these days, especially an outstanding like Ace. He would be owing his good genes an explanation if he did not have a lot of children!
Had he hit the jackpot and met the prince?
Adie did not want to expose his identity yet, so he shook his head with a confused look. "Who is this Mr. Moran? I don't know him. My daddy is just an employee."
"Right." The security guard calmly down. "If you are Mr. Moran's son, how could he be willing to let you wait alone outside? He would have sent someone to take care of you properly… Anyway, it doesn't matter. No matter whose child you are, you are so adorable and well-behaved. I like you very much. Let's go. I will bring you to the lounge!"
So, under the escort of the security guard, Adie entered the Moran Group headquarters unhindered.
At the same time, the intrusion program he wrote had completely gained access control of each department of Moran Group.
In other words, he could enter and exit every corner of Moran Group as he wished.
"Little guy, you sit here first. I'll get you some snacks."
After sending Adie to the lounge, the security guard zealously went to get snacks for him. However, when he returned to the lounge with a plate of cake and fruit, no one was there!
Adie successfully evaded all the cameras with perfection and got to the top floor of H Group. The top floor exclusively belonged to Ace. It was where the president's office was.
The floor was so spacious and cold that it was close to empty, save for his secretary and the executives.
Because there was no news of Ace these days, his secretary and the executives were so swamped with handling important business that they rarely went to that floor.
Adie soon made his way to the door of the president's office. He entered the cracked code and unlocked the door easily.
"Hah! It's just as Mommy said. The security system of Moran Group sucks. That wasn't even a challenge!"
The little guy shook his head in disappointment. Clenching his teeth, he pushed the door with all his might and strutted in.
Ace's office was as luxurious as offices could get. Adie seemed like a microscopic creature amid the massive office space.
'I can't believe that bad daddy is not here. Great, I can help Mommy to get the document she wants."
Adie was a true-blue action-oriented person. He climbed into the office chair without waiting and carefully went through Ace's documents on the desk.
As the president of Moran Group, Ace enjoyed a privileged status. His office was naturally guarded to the teeth, and no one could enter without his permission. There were too many crucial documents stored in his office, and if anyone with ulterior motives were to get their hands on them, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Adie turned the place upside down but found nothing special. When he was about to give up, an envelope labeled 'confidential' drew his attention.
'Could this be the important document Mommy has been trying to get?"
Adie frowned and opened it to examine its contents.
At that moment, Alice, who had been trying to find Ace pushed open the door and ran in happily when seeing the door ajar.
"You finally showed up, Ace. Where the heck have you been…"
She stopped talking as soon as she saw the tiny figure in front of the desk.
Her expressions were complicated, and she was extremely surprised.
'You, you are…"
She had seen Ace's picture as a child, and this child in front of her was almost identical to him.
This led her to draw the conclusion that this had to be Ace's child.
She learned from William before that Joanna had two children. The boy was Adie, and the girl was Abby, so…
"You are Adie, right?" Suppressing her astonishment, Alice immediately posed the question.
