Chapter 45 – A Slight Advantage Over Him
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“It’s Uncle Bruce Smith, he’s mommy’s partner at the company,” Lucas explained. “Mommy is an event planner. She often makes promotional plans and plans for the activities of some large companies.”
Jay already knew all this. What he was puzzled about was why her working partner wanted to be Lucas’s father. When he thought of how Maisy had left him for seven years, he was even more shocked by Lucas’s words.
Indeed, as her working partner, Bruce Smith had the upper hand. It seemed that Bruce had a slight advantage over him, but he would not allow Bruce to have any chance!
After making up his mind, Jay asked Lucas about Bruce. After dinner, he drove Lucas back to the apartment.
Before he left, he specially instructed, “Lucas, next time I will bring you to eat all kinds of steak, but the premise is that you must help me take care of mommy. Don’t let those wild men outside seduce her, understand?”
“That will depend on your performance, Uncle Jay.” Lucas climbed onto the sofa and skillfully turned on the television. He deliberately emphasized the “Uncle Jay”. His small eyes were filled with ridicule, causing Jay to helplessly shake his head.
After Jay left, a black car stopped in front of Maisy’s house. Maisy unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at Bruce who was sitting next to her. He was tall, strong, and powerful. He wore an exquisite suit and a high-end watch that cost a lot of money. He looked like a typical successful man.
“Maisy, are you free in two days? I want to ask you out for a meal,” Bruce said.
Maisy froze. Of course, she knew what Bruce was thinking. She had rejected him many times in the past, and now that Jay had showed up, she was even more confused. She was not in the mood to think about anything other than work and her son.
“Mr. Smith, have you forgotten? In two days, we are going to attend the Willington Group’s celebration party. We don’t have time.”
Bruce seemed to be used to Maisy’s answer. He tilted his head to look at Maisy and smiled helplessly. The two of them had been working together for five years. From the rookies in the workplace to the current industry bellwethers, they had been through ups and downs together along the way. He knew
Maisy very well. It was because he knew her too well that he did not want to force her. He still had plenty of time in the future.
“Okay. Then let’s meet another day. There’s no rush at this time anyway.” Bruce said meaningfully.
Maisy hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door to get out of the car in a panic. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Bruce. “Wait a minute.” Maisy tumed her head and saw Bruce getting out of the car as well. He went to the trunk and took out an exquisite small box. Maisy was
shocked and lowered her head to see the beautiful strawberry cake in the box.
“For the kid.” Bruce smiled gently, making her feel like a spring breeze.
Maisy was silent for a moment. She was embarrassed to reject his kind intention. She nodded and took the cake. “Thank you. Lucas will like it.”
Bruce smiled and hinted, “That’s good. I like Lucas very much too. Remember to tell him that.” After saying that, he patted Maisy’s head lovingly and turned to get into the car.
All of this was seen by a six-year-old child.
Maisy came back with the cake and saw Lucas lying on the sofa watching TV. He was so focused on the cartoon like it was a scientific paper.
“Come and eat the cake.” Maisy opened the small box and took a spoon for him to eat. Then, she turned around and went back to her room to wash up. Lucas heard the sound of water in the bathroom. As he ate the cake, he dialed Jay’s number
He lowered his childish voice and complained to the man on the other end of the phone, “Uncle Jay, Uncle Bruce brought mommy back just now and even touched her head.”
Although the cake given by Uncle Bruce was delicious, Lucas still decided to be a dutiful spy of Jay for his mommy’s happiness. “You really have to work harder, do you understand?”
On the other end of the phone, Jay felt a ball of fire rampaging through his chest, burning his rationality. He couldn’t wait to rush over and hold that disobedient little woman in his arms and bully her! He believed that this day would not be too far away.
