Chapter 2 Flirting
The sun was bright, and Ladonna woke up feeling all achy.
Last night, she went to dinner as Layton’s assistant. A bald, chubby boss kept forcing her to drink, saying it was for a deal they were working on. After that, she went back to her regular hotel to crash out.
But why did the room look so different?
In a hazy moment, she remembered something about being all over some
guy.
Her cheeks flushed, and her heart started pounding.
Ladonna shook those crazy thoughts out of her head, quickly got cleaned up, packed her stuff, and
This book had been added on your bookshelf.
When she was closing the door, she checked the room number
Oh crap! She got into the wrong room! Her usual room was 8808!
So, she did flirt with some guy last night.
Ladonna blushed with embarrassment. She hoped she’d never see that guy again for the rest of her life!
She bolted out of the hotel like she was escaping from something. Once she got outside and breathed the fresh air, she started to feel calm.
While she was waiting by the roadside for a taxi, a little boy around five or six years old tripped and fell right at her feet.
His face still looked like a baby’s, but he was cute and made Ladonna

want to hug him.
At first, Ladonna thought the boy was playing around, but after a bit, he was still lying there on her lap, not moving. She realized something wasn’t right.
“Hey there, little one, what’s wrong?”
She squatted down and picked the boy up. His skin felt hot, and she knew he wasn’t feeling well.
Feeling the warm hug, Corbin Ferguson slowly opened his heavy eyes.
“Mommy,” he called out softly before he passed out.
This gentle whisper made Ladonna’s heart skip a beat. She thought about
the two sons she lost six years ago; they’d be about this age now
“I’m taking you to the hospital,” she said, trying to stay calm.

In the CEO’s office on the 88th floor of the Ferguson Group.
“What? Coby is missing?!”
Cedric’s voice cut through the big office. It was cold and scary.
He was boiling with rage. “You guys are all useless! Go find him, now! If you don’t find him, you’re done for!”
The guards shook in their shoes.
His son Corbin was like a prince–nobody could reach his level. If the guards didn’t find him soon, it could get serious and involve the navy, army, and air force.

They hurried out as soon as they got the order.
Cedric stood tall by the floor–to–ceiling window, looking worried.
Six years ago, when he was in a coma from a car accident, his grandpa believed some quack doctor who said he’d never wake up. To keep their family going and hold onto their billions, a girl was made to have two kids with him.
Corbin was the older one, and there was a second kid.
Cedric had been careful and protective of Corbin all these years, but something still went wrong.
He was about to call his buddy in the military when his phone rang with a number he didn’t recognize.
His number was top secret, and it took a bunch of steps to eve
him.
Whoever was on the other end was definitely not an ordinary
Cedric answered the call, and a soft, sweet voice said, “Hello? Your is at the Valorbury Central Hospital right now.”

It sounded familiar.
Cedric remembered right away! It was that girl from last night who wanted to pay him 10 dollars for a night!
He squeezed the phone with his big, strong hand and growled, “I’m coming right now! Stay there!”

sparkling eyes were glued to her face, full of love and longing.
“Mommy… Are you my mommy?”
Hearing his sweet voice, Ladonna felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in her heart.
She softly patted his fluffy hair and said gently, “Little boy, maybe you’re a little mixed up because you’re sick. I’m not your mommy. When your daddy comes, he’ll help you find your mommy, okay?”
Corbin blinked his eyes and bit his lip, looking sad. “I don’t have a mommy. Can you be my mommy? I really like you!”
Ladonna froze. This little boy didn’t have a mom.
No wonder he got lost, and no one knew he was sick.
She hugged him tighter, feeling bad for him.
“Sorry, I can’t be your mommy. I have a fiancé, even though we’ve been engaged for six years and haven’t gotten married yet.”
Corbin’s head drooped, his eyes got all red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and some guards in black stormed in, surrounding the room. A tall and strong–looking guy walked in.
Ladonna was totally scared by what she saw.
“You’ve got some serious guts to kidnap my son!”
His voice was cold and scary, like something out of a nightmare.
Ladonna looked up and saw who it was.

He was incredibly handsome, but his words were so harsh.
Ladonna steadied herself and said, “Sir, I think there has been a big mistake. Your son…”
“A mistake?” Cedric stepped right in front of her, looking intimidating.
“I already figured out what you’re like last night! You’re the type who’ll do anything for money and power!
“You don’t have what it takes to be with me! And forget about trying to get close to the Ferguson family!”
The Ferguson family?
So, this guy…
What a crazy coincidence!
Ladonna flirted with Cedric last night, and today she saved his son.
She put Corbin on the bed, grabbed her backpack, and walked up to Cedric in a huff.
She looked up at him and met his cold stare. \“Listen, I’m sorry about last night, but I saved your son today. You should thank me. And you thought I kidnapped him just now, so you owe me an apology!”
Cedric snorted. “Like I’m gonna do that.”
“I’m giving you one minute to get out of here. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I have my guys toss you out the window!”
“You!” Ladonna was fuming, breathing hard with anger.
“You’re so full of yourself! Sure, you look nice, but you’re not even as friendly as a pet! Who’d like you?

“Fine, I’ll leave! You know what? You’re really bad in bed!”
Ladonna pulled out 10 dollars from her bag and threw it at Cedric, then took off.
Cedric looked at the money on the floor, his face turning black as
thunder.
Ladonna had humiliated him again with 10 dollars!
