While waiting for the meal, Sheldon Rowland pulled up the registration web page: âFill in your personal information, and then upload your ID.â
âBy the way, did you bring your ID? Iâll scan it for you,â Sheldon Rowland said.
âI brought it.â Cindy Clarke handed her ID to Sheldon Rowland.
Sheldon Rowland took it, glanced at it casually, and his gaze suddenly fixed on the ID.
Cindy Clarkeâs ID showed her address in Nork City!
âYouâre from Nork City? I couldnât tell from your accent,â Sheldon Rowland said with a smile.
Nork City is in the south, and their dialect has a heavy accent when speaking Mandarin.
Yet Cindy Clarkeâs Mandarin didnât have any accent at all.
âIâve been in Belfard for five years, and my accent has corrected itself,â Cindy Clarke said with a smile.
In his mind, Sheldon Rowland calculated that five years ago was the year he and Adrian Zhekova went to Nork City.
Sheldon Rowland hurriedly said, âIâll go scan your ID.â
With that, he ran off with Cindy Clarkeâs ID.
âUh- -â Cindy Clarke wanted to stop him and tell him that there was a scanner and copier in his office, right?
Unfortunately, she didnât have time.
As Cindy Clarke watched the difficult expression on her face, she heard Morgan Zhekova say, âUncle Sheldon is so stupid. Iâm really worried about this company if he can still be the CEOâs assistant.â
The deeply worried Sheldon Rowland, not even bothering to knock, rushed into Adrian Zhekovaâs office.
Worried about being seen by Cindy Clarke, he remembered to close the door.
âMaster Adrian!â Sheldon Rowland rushed over and nearly fell into Adrian Zhekovaâs arms across the desk.
â Adrian Zhekova distastefully pushed him away, âStay away from me.â
Sheldon Rowland: â
He had been working like an ox and horse for this heartless man for seven years!
âMaster Adrian, donât you think Morgan Zhekova looks a lot like you?â Sheldon Rowland asked in a low voice.
Without thinking, Adrian Zhekova said, âHow could I look like such a narcissistic kid!â
âMaster Adrian, seriously, find a chance to look in a mirror with him. He really looks like he was carved from the same mold as you,â Sheldon Rowland said. âLast time at the ravioli stand, I thought he looked familiar, but I just couldnât remember who he looked like. But today, when you were holding him, I suddenly realized that he looked like you, so thatâs why he looked so familiar.â
âWhat are you trying to say?â Adrian Zhekova said coldly. âAre you going to tell me that the kid is my lost son or something?â
Heâs still single!
No son!
Even if it was that woman five years agoâ¦
Adrian Zhekova frowned.
If she really had plotted against him and given birth to a son, would she not come looking for him after five years when the child had grown so big?
No one plotting against someone would be that stupid!
As he thought, Adrian Zhekova suddenly looked somber.
Sheldon Rowland didnât know what Adrian Zhekova was thinking, so he directly showed Cindy Clarkeâs ID to him.
âMaster Adrian, what a coincidence, Cindy Clarke is from Nork City. Moreover, she came to Belfard five years ago. Five years ago was when youâ¦â Sheldon Rowland stopped in the middle of his sentence when he noticed Adrian Zhekovaâs suddenly darkening face.
âWhether itâs a coincidence or a misunderstanding, I think itâs a clue,â Sheldon Rowland said.
âLook into it,â Adrian Zhekova said in a deep voice.
They had been looking for someone for five years, but they had no clues at all. Now they finally have some clues. Although they donât know if they are correct, it should be worth celebrating.
But Sheldon Rowland didnât think Adrian Zhekovaâs reaction looked like he was
celebrating..
