“He invites me, but he’s late?” Frank Harper glanced at the restaurant

manager.

“Sorry, Mister Harper. Mister Wilson is on the way. He should be here. in a moment.”

“I don’t need an apology, but proof.”

With a cold expression, Frank waved his hand. The manager quickly disappeared from his sight. However, when he was about to lean back, two bodyguards entered carrying a toddler. His hanging legs kicked in the air.

“Let me go! Let me go! If Mommy finds out that you are bullying me like this, you will regret it!”

“Sir, we found this child sneaking around outside. It looked like he wanted to spy on you.”

With a suspicious look, Frank studied the little boy in the blue coat. One of his eyebrows furrowed and his lips pursed. “Did someone tell you to follow me?”

“No. I want to do it myself. Please tell your guards to take me down!”

Frank raised his index finger. Louis’ feet were on the floor agail

“Why are you following me?”

Louis didn’t answer. He just bit his lip and looked at Frank with an annoyed expression. “Isn’t that allowed?”

A sigh of disbelief escaped Frank’s mouth. He didn’t expect that such a small child would dare to confront with him.

‘What’s wrong with today? Why do I keep dealing with children? Is fate

“Do you know what room this is?” Frank asked in a challenging tone.

“I know,” Louis nodded confidently. A second later, his index finger pointed at the gold plate on the wall. “This is the VVIP room, a place for important people.”

“You know that important people usually discuss secret projects in this room, right?”

Louis blinked innocently. “I don’t care about your projects. I just want to look around.”

Getting such a bold answer, Frank’s eyes narrowed. Leaning forward, he watched Louis. He just realized that the boy also had gray eyes, just like Emily and him. Louis looked like a portrait of Little Frank!

‘Did someone deliberately terrorize me through the gray-eyed kids? Could it be Ben? He was the one who invited me here.’

“What do you want to see?” Frank put his hands together on the table. He wanted to know to what extent the genius toddler was able to improvise.

Suddenly, Louis stepped forward and raised his head. After confirming that Frank’s eye color was the same as Emily said, said, “This is my first time coming to a luxury restaurant. I wa know how the VVIP room is different from the regular room.”

“What’s your name, Little Boy?”

“Why do you ask?”

Frank smiled crookedly. “To check the guest list. I want to see if you are a visitor here or a little spy.”

Louis puffed out his cheeks for a moment. After a brief consideration, he answered, “Louis Martin.”

‘Martin again?’ Frank sighed in disbelief. ‘Someone was clearly terrorizing me. First, he sent Kara, then a girl who looks like her, then a boy who looks like me.”

While glancing at his assistant, Frank’s index finger was raised again. Jeremy approached and gave him his ear. After hearing the boss’s whisper, he left the room..

Witnessing that act, Louis’ breath caught. “What did you say to him?” He was worried that his mother and Emily would get into trouble.

“Something a little spy like you shouldn’t know.”

“I’m not a spy!”

“So what?” Frank put his hands in his pockets and walked over to Louis. “Child actors paid to trick me?”

Hearing that accusation, Louis’ cheeks puffed up even more. He placed his hands on his waist. “If I were an actor, I’d be on TV, not here.”

His furrowed eyebrows made him even cuter. However, Frank didn’t care about that.

“Then you must be getting paid for your speaking skills. Who asked you to scare me?”

“Your body is much bigger than me. Even though I’m strong, I’m sure you’re ten times stronger than me. How could I possibly scare you?”

Frank sighed again. It was hard to believe that his words were contradicted by a toddler.

“You are right. The one who should be afraid is not me, but you. What punishment do you think would be appropriate for a little intruder like you?”

Louis’ fingers were tightly intertwined in front of his stomach. His.

are so stubborn. I told you I’m not a spy. I’m a good boy. If you don’t believe it, that’s fine. I will not disturb you anymore.”

Louis turned to leave. However, a second later, his body jerked backwards. Frank had held up the collar of his suit.

“Hey, what are you doing? You don’t want me to be here, do you? Now let me go!”

Louis struggled. However, Frank’s grip was too strong for him. The more he struggled, the tighter the bow tie strangled his neck.

“Let me go! You will regret it if my mother finds out!”

“Confess, Little Boy! You can go back to your mother after that.”

“I have confessed. I’m a good boy!”

Tears started to gather in the corners of Louis’ eyes. However, he did his best to contain it so it wouldn’t spill. He didn’t want to appear weak.

“Oh my God, Frank! You bullied a toddler in my family’s restaurant?”

Louis turned to the door. A man in a brown suit just walked in. Thinking that the person would defend him, he immediately pouted.

“Mister, please help me! I came to this restaurant to have fun with my family, but this Mister accused me of being a spy. He doesn’t want to let me go.”

Frank snorted watching Louis’ acting. Ten seconds ago, he was still struggling to escape. Now, his shoulders drooped as if he was

helpless.

“This boy eavesdropped on me. You want to defend him? Or perhaps, you were the one who sent him to test my patience?”

Ben raised both eyebrows in response to the accusation. After two

“What’s gotten into you, Frank? You’ve changed a lot since four years. ago. In the past, you accused me of stabbing you in the back. Now, you’re accusing an innocent boy? Why do you suspect everyone? What really happened to you?”

Frank’s eyes narrowed. Ben’s expression seemed sincere. However, he didn’t want to be fooled by anyone.

“You invite me here to lecture?”

“I invite you because I thought you had regained your rationality. I don’t have a problem with you canceling our collaboration back then. Despite your suspicions of me, your honest assessment of the

project was correct. Now, I’m back with a more mature and potential project. I hope you will review it objectively.”

Louis blinked at those words. He didn’t understand what happened between them. However, he knew that the man holding his collar was indeed in a mess.

“Do you know why I followed you to this room?” Louis asked, looking back.

“That’s because you look really cool,” he continued sincerely. “Your aura is like a successful CEO that everyone admires. But, after learning about your irrational attitude, I no longer admire you.”

Frank was stunned. This was the first time someone dared to tease him and it was a four-year-old toddler!
