Henry looked at the photo closely, his pupils darkened and coldly said, “Judging by mother’s past history, I am eighty percent certain this is the right man.”
Harry took the laptop and put the screen side by side to his elder brother and responded, “Yeah, look! This man’s face is identical to us!”
Henry rolled his eyes, but was not bothered to correct the younger’s logic in that statement.
Small and chubby fingers started to type quickly and knocked a few times, in a short amount of time, Henry found a string of numbers which combined into Raymond Koo’s mobile.
He scribbled down the numbers and gave it to his little brother and said, “Quick, call this number.”
On a cold face held his usual cold voice.
“Ok.”
Harry was hesitant to do so, but since it was from his elder brother, he couldn’t do anything but obediently obliging.
Picking up their phone, Harry called Raymond’s number.
The call was picked up quickly.
“Who’s this?”
On the other line was a deep thick raspy voice, while giving out a cool and distant aura.
When Harry heard the voice, he immediately imitated his older brother’s voice, and strictly said, “Is this Raymond Koo? I will tell you now, I will give you five minutes, you will find your company’s PR information, and you will hire Sandy Qiao. If you fail to do this in the next five minutes, I will get my brother to take everything from your bank account.”
He was scared of Raymond’s skepticism, so Harry added, “I’m not messing around, if you don’t follow our command, we will follow through!”
After saying that, Harry hung up the phone, and gave his older brother an “OK” sign.
Henry nodded in satisfaction, and after that, all they could do was wait for this Raymond guy to respond.
At Bloom City, Armonia, it was eight in the evening.
Raymond was busy in a conference banquet.
Suddenly receiving a foreign phone call across the sea, Raymond thought it was odd, but for some peculiar reason, he pressed the accept button.
However, he didn’t expect was a little boy ordering him around.
But, once he heard the name “Sandy Qiao”, his heart went frazzled.
He has been trying to contact her for five years but was gone without a trace, and now, out of the blue, she was actively knocking on his door?
He thought for a moment, then decided on contacting his assistant.
“Jack, I need you to check human resources and see if we are currently recruiting a person called Sandy Qiao.”
“Yes sir.”
Jack immediately obeyed and got working.
But deep inside there was a hint of uncertainty.
Was Sandy Qiao the girl that is been on his boss’s mind twenty-four seven?
Three minutes later, Raymond received a reply.
And for the first time, three minutes seems like a lifetime for Raymond.
“Boss, human resources indeed have recently recruited an organizer named Sandy Qiao, however she is currently overseas, and hasn’t responded to our offer.”
Jack told his boss.
Raymond raises his brows slightly, and followed up by asking, “Does she have any photos?”
As Jack shook his head, Raymond’s phone started dinging endlessly.
He went to take a look at his phone, and there was a message saying “One more minute”.
In the corner of Jack’s eye, he saw Raymond’s shocked and amused expression, and just as he was about to ask, Raymond received countless messages from the bank.
“Your account has received an overseas transaction for $2,500,000….”
“Your account has received an overseas transaction for $2,500,000….”
“Your account has received an overseas transaction for $2,500,000….”
“...$2,500,000…”
In a blink of an eye, Raymond has lost 2 billion dollars.
As the screen kept refreshing, Raymond’s face grew darker and darker.
This was obviously a set up.
Jack felt immense tension near Raymond’s aura, and nervously uttered out, “I will send someone to investigate immediately sir!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he dashed out the hotel to find the culprit behind all this.
But no one would’ve guessed that Raymond waved his hand and said dryly, “That’s not necessary.”
That’s not necessary?
That shocked Jack even more!
Although Mr. Koo has money to spare, someone stole two billion from him in the blink of an eye, how could he not be bothered by all this?
What if it had something to do with the eldest sister of the Qiao family?
In this world, other than Sandy Qiao, Jack couldn’t think of anyone who Raymond would show patience of.
As Jack was filled with question marks, Raymond has already regained his posture, and calmly returned to the banquet.
On the other end, little Harry grew impatient to Raymond’s lack of response, and angrily send Raymond’s a message.
“If you don’t do the job by tomorrow, money won’t be the only thing you’ll lose.”
After saying this, Harry threw the phone to the side grumpily.
“Ha, so stupid!”
Even though Harry was not satisfied with Raymond’s unresponsiveness, but thinking of how he was being played by him and his brother, he couldn’t help but be a slight bit happy.
Henry’s face grew cold as he heard the conversation and said, “Shut up! He doesn’t have the right to live up as our father!”
“Oh.”
Harry went to shut his mouth, but he couldn’t help but utter out, “But mommy seems to still like him… a lot…”
“Why are you still talking?!” Henry yelled and rolled his eyes once again.
….
The next day, Sandy received a call from the PR manager from Bloom City branch’s, Winka organizing department of St. Thomas Ltd. (St. Thomas Ltd. is a fictional company) .
The call stated that she has been hired under special terms, not only was the offer parallels heaven on earth, they will also cater to her needs, and give her a car and accommodation as well.
Sandy was stunned by this special treatment.
Alongside wanting a better life for her babies back in Armonia, she absentmindedly accepted the offer.
As she hung up the phone, she realized what she had done, and her head suddenly started spinning.
Despite Winka being St. Thomas’ branch, it seems that there weren’t many connections to headquarters, she just hopes that she wouldn’t encounter Raymond Koo.
Sandy patted herself on the back.
After the conversation, they have negotiated that she would start work next week, so the family started packing.
During the week, Sandy had asked the twins for their opinion, but they both had the same one, saying that they have been yearning to see their homeland since they were born.
And for the sake of her kids, she buried her worries deep down a hole.
The boys are getting older, they can take care of themselves, even though the education there was very progressive, the boys have already grown up, and it wouldn’t benefit them.
Sometimes she even thinks that she couldn’t handle being a mother.
