Little Henry snoozed peacefully in his crib, redeeming the CEO's family image and showing everyone that even the boss's kid could be adorable and well-behaved. When Andre Cedillo, the CEO, brought his child to the office, it was like seeing a unicorn. A self-rocking bassinet, a stash of diapers, and baby formula in his sleek office?
