Who is He?

Before he left, his father said, "Son, I want you to meet someone, she was the one I personally trained to take over the company, however... I could no longer do as I promiser her and she understood it."

'She?' his brows knitted, looking confused.

After his father said that, an image flashed in his mind, and he furrowed his brows.

"Ugh, no, no, not what you're thinking. I treated this young lady just like my daughter." his father said defensively and then laughed when he saw his knitted brows.

So, he just nodded and bid farewell to his father. He went home to change, then went straight to his new office.

After Cliff spends time with his father, he feels like someone has taken the burden away from him. The emptiness he felt for many years is filled. It's as if that heavy baggage has been lifted up. He stopped beside his car and looked back at the mansion. He saw his father standing afar off and waving at him, which made him smile and wave. And for the first time in many years, he smiled genuinely.

Following his grandfather's death, Cliff recently bought the most significant share in one of the biggest malls in the world weeks after arriving from New York. Though he was born and raised in Australia, half of his life was spent in New York. The place that honed his skills as a businessman.

He managed his grandfather's company from scratch until it became an empire while his mother fully supported him. His mother did not get married again; instead adopted a baby girl and raised her as her own.

When Rona, his adopted sister, reached eighteen, she decided to work in the company from the bottom position because she wanted to start from scratch and then later became one of the department managers. She met her husband and got married, and she bore Tristan.

His mother and sister would continuously nag him to settle down, but he always avoided the topic, making them furious.

They've been adamant in setting up blind dates for him only to find out that he forgot about it or that he was busy with another venture, which makes all the ladies go home furious. His mother and sister would sigh in defeat, and they felt hopeless for him.

He could not find time for such things, especially when he learned his father would pass the company to him. He loves new ventures, which gives him more energy to try something new.

Cliff emerged from his BMW 5 car. And all the employees, from the highest to the lowest position, were waiting for him to arrive. They all bowed down upon seeing him as a sign of respect.

"Mr. Cliff Briggs, it's a pleasure. Welcome to VeanCorp!" A tall, middle-aged man in his sixties welcomed him and extended his hands.

"The pleasure's mine, Mr. Veanco." He smiled courteously. And the secretary behind him blushed the moment she saw his smile.

"Let's go directly to the boardroom. This way, please." All the reporters were blocked and could only see the man's side view while he shook hands with the owner and then went inside the building. The reporters roared, disappointed at not getting the opportunity to interview the company's new owner and shareholder.

…

Clark was reading his encyclopedia when he heard her nanny and one of the housekeepers scream with delight. Clark then raised his head and looked at the TV screen. His eyes widened when he saw the side view of the man.

"Uncle Cliff.." he uttered silently and heard the conversation between his nanny and the housekeeper.

"Oh, so handsome even only half of his face was shown." Nanny Tess giggled while talking to Jeri, the housekeeper.

"But who is he?" Jeri asked.

"He is so mysterious and so wealthy. I heard he came from New York and it's his first time here."

"Oh really? Have you been stalking him?" Jeri teased.

"Hahaha, I just read it in the newspaper, and when I searched him online, there is no picture of him. He is also the new owner of the VeanCo Square. I will ask Ma'am Ingrid to allow us to stroll there with Clark. Maybe we could get a glimpse of him. Hihihi" Nanny Tess's eyes were dreamy, and Jeri laughed at the nanny's daydreaming.

"You're such a hopeless romantic. Would you think that man would take notice of you?"

"Why are you so bitter, Jeri?" nanny Tess is fat, while housekeeper Jeri is slim, but both are healthy. Yet, they love to make fun of each other's flaws.

Little did they know that a little figure had already devised a plan to go to Veanco Square and smile mischievously.
