Chapter 24

“Not a big deal, I’ve got some snacks for you. Take these. By the way, where’s your family?” said the girl gently.

The little boy shook his head, “I don’t know. I came out by myself.”

“You shouldn’t be out here alone. It’s not safe. How about I walk you back home?”

He nodded, “Thank you.”

Watching this heartwarming scene unfold, Daniel couldn’t help but slow his pace.

The man in charge noticed Daniel’s interest and quickly whispered to his assistant with a savvy eye, “Check out that young lady.”

“Right away, sir,” the assistant replied respectfully.

Soon the girl in the white summer dress vanished into the crowd with the little boy in tow, and Daniel continued on his way.

“Mr. Robinson, your car is here,” said the man beside Daniel, holding the door open with deference.

Once inside the vehicle, the man glanced at the message the assistant had forwarded to him. and, with a sycophantic smile, said, “Mr. Robinson, that young lady we just saw at the entrance. is Rebecca Morris, the newly welcomed daughter of the Morris family.”

Daniel was taken aback.
