Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Chanty was silent all through the ride to her office floor

She was still feeling so embarrassed to look up

"Seems like we are going to the same floor" Spencer said with smile as the elevator stopped at Chanty's floor

"Oh! She muttered and the elevator beeped open

" Then I'll leave first" she bowed and tried to walk out when her right hand was grabbed by Spencer

Chanty frowned as she stared at Spencer's hand holding her

"Any problem Mr Spencer? She asked trying to be as polite as she can be

"Miss You haven't told me your name" Spencer said with his charming smile

" Chanty....._" she hasn't finished talking when she was grasped by another pair of strong hands

A gasp left her mouth as her head hit the broad chest of the owner of the arms that had pulled her

The farmiliar scent is enough to make her know who it was

"Spencer Shen,did you sign a death wish? On hearing his brother's angry voice, Spencer shivered in fear

"Why the scary face brother? He chuckled nervously seeing how hard Christen was glaring at him

"You know you don't have any right to grab your nephew's mother just anyhow;! Christen snapped angrily, immediately Spencer understood what he meant

" This beautiful woman is Lui Chen's mother?? He asked in shock with eyes full of amusement

"Yes she is, which means she is taken already! And don't you dare call her beautiful again,am the only one entitled to call her that! Christen said with possessiveness

"Geez! Isn't he being too possessive? She thought almost rolling her eyes

"Let's go to your office,we need to talk" Christen said to her and started pulling her away while she struggles to free herself but it was impossible

Spencer stared at his brother's back and shook his head

"I need to find Sophia or else I'll always get oppressed" he muttered pouting his lips"

STARLIGHT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

3PM

" Goodnight Da Xia" little Treasure waved at Da Xia as they part ways at the gate

"Goodnight Ah Chen" Da Xia waved back before entering into the car that came to pick her up

Little Treasure walk straight to Sophia who was waiting beside a taxi

"How was your day with your little girl friend? Sophia teased as he got to her

Lui Chen rolled his eyes before replying

"She is not my girlfriend but my best friend" he said sternly

"Best friend can become lover so it's nothing new" she teased him more and he sighed

"Let's just go" he muttered feeling defeated

"Ok" she replied not bothering to teased him any longer and they both entered the taxi

" Where should we go! Your dad's company or we should just go home" she asked as the taxi started moving

" Let's go to Dad's company" he said with excitement on his face

SHEN ENTERPRISES**

The taxi stop at the front of the skyscraper building

Sophia came out of the taxi together with little Treasure after paying the cabman

"Wow! Daddy's company is so huge" little Treasure stared at the company with total admiration

"Really huge" Sophia agreed with mouth agape

"If the outside could be so attractive like this,I really wonder how the inside would look"

" Let's go in" Sophia grabbed his hand excitedly before walking inside the company

True to their imagination,the inside was another level

The interior designs speak wealth,the equipment all looks sparkling clean

"Undoubtedly, this is truly the biggest company in Country Z" Sophia said with sparkling eyes

"Yes"and it's all belongs to my dad! Little Treasure said proudly making Sophia laugh

"Yes it's all your dad's" she teased with a big smile on her face

"Let's ask for your mom's office from the receptionist" she said holding his hand

As the two walk to the receptionist, attention were on them

🗣️ Such a cute boy!

🗣️ His skin is as fair as Jade

🗣️ He really looks handsome,

🗣️ His mother is really lucky to have such a cute boy like him

🗣️I want my son to be just as handsome and sweet like this

Sophia chuckled as she heard the last comment

"Sweet?.? That boy is a devil in disguise" she thought rolling his eyes

" Good morning ma'am" the receptionist greeted as they got to her post

"Good morning Miss" Sophia replied with a smile

" How may I help you Ma'am? The receptionist asked politely

"Am here to see Chanty Liu" Sophia replied

" Do you have an appointment with her? The receptionist asked

"No I don't"

"Am sorry you can't see her without having an appointment with her" the receptionist declined professionally

"She is my best friend so why do I need to set an appointment with her

As Sophia was busy exchanging words with the receptionist, Little Treasure eyes caught his dad who was just coming back from the conference room and was about to take the elevator

"DADDY!!! He shouted excitedly before he could stop himself

On hearing the farmiliar voice, Christen paused and turn back

His eyes were filled with surprise as he saw little Treasure running towards him

"You came? He asked in surprise carrying little Treasure up

" I miss you daddy" little Treasure pouted hugging his dad's neck acting like spoilt child

Christen laugh out loudly as he pat Lui Chen's back shocking the hell outta of the staffs but what they heard next is enough to make them passed out

"Daddy miss you too baby" he really does" Christen said with smile

Gasps filled the whole reception as the staff witnessed that Christen is already a father

" Dad... daddy" they all thought still staring at the father and son

LIU'S MANSION***

Joshua drives into the compound roughly and park his car at the garage

He got down from the car looking tired,He hasn't been around for few days as he's trying to look for another house to move in and a job to do

He was about to walk away from the garage when he noticed that the garage was empty, his other two cars were missing

"Did Zoey take them out for wash?" he thought feeling uneasy a bit

He took a long strides as he walked to the entrance of the house

Getting to the entrance,he met the door locked thankfully he had a spare key with him

He took out the bunch of the house keys in his pocket and unlock the lock with the key

He opens the door ajar before entering,he started walking through the corridor but as a man of sixth sense,he also noticed that the corridor was empty as well,the antiques were all missing

With this he could feel the fear rising from inside

With a tighten heart,he walked slowly inside the living room with his head down

As he stepped inside,he felt the coldness of the room

His hands were shaking nervously as he refused to raise his head up

"It's alright Joshua, just raise your head" nothing has gone missing" his lips quivered as he tried to convince himself

After a while,he decided to raise his head

The first thing his eyes caught was the big writing on the wall

"I SOLD ALL THE PROPERTIES INCLUDING THE CARS AND THE HOUSE APPLIANCES" DON'T LOOK FOR ME CAUSE I LEFT THE COUNTRY WITH RUBY AND MOTHER!! GOODBYE !!!

ZOEY.

Joshua staggered back as he finished reading the message on the wall

His eyes darted around the entire living room,it was empty, none of the house appliances including the furnitures were left

Joshua could feel his head heavy and his eyes blurry, his throat restricted from crying out,all he could do was to gasp out

"ZOEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! He cried out loudly before blacking out
