After Beanie dressed up, he put on a pair of sunglasses that almost covered half of his face.

Minerva had bought them for him. She hoped that the hat and sunglasses were enough to conceal his looks. She did not want other people to recognise him.

Satisfied with the get- up, she started to walk towards the door, "Come on."

Beanie rushed over quickly to latch onto his mother's arm, "Mommy, let's go together!"

"Alright."

Minerva and Beanie got into Nash's car a while later and took off. Once they've reached the company, Nash reminded, "Miss Minerva, Mr. Hanover has insisted that I take you back to the Hanover family once your hour is up."

"Noted. You can go upstairs and have a rest in the meantime. We'll depart from here in an hour."

"Yes, Miss Minerva."

Minerva then brought Beanie with her upstairs to her office. She had meant to leave him in the office and go about her business downstairs by herself but Beanie was terribly insistent on following her everywhere.

Therefore, she had no choice but to let him follow her to the third floor.

The group of employees who were seen working, looked a little like zombies at noon. Some had worked overtime the night before and could barely stay awake while some could be seen playing on their mobile phones. None of them looked as if they were even working at all.

When they heard the sound of high heels clacking from a distance, they looked up casually. Once they caught a glimpse of Minerva, everyone started to straighten their backs and sat upright.

Minerva was still their boss after all.

However, Yasmine did not share the same sentiments. Sneering, she started to antagonize, "Well, well, well. Look who's finally decided to show up! Asking all of us to work overtime last night on the design while you took your leave early? And you even showed up late today! How shameless can you get?!"

Upon hearing this, Minerva started to pull a bitter frown.
