You're Out Daddy

“You’ve bumped into me,” Denise said in her childlike voice. The sunglasses that she was wearing did not manage to conceal her displeasure.

Kenneth found the little girl’s demeanor amusing. He crouched down and steadied her up from the floor. “Are you all right?”

“Of course not-” Before Denise could finish her sentence, she was stumped by the sight of the handsome man in front of her. She had always been attracted to pretty faces, and oddly enough, she found the face before her quite familiar.

“Of course not. I don’t know if I’m hurt anywhere else,” she said coyly.

Kenneth noticed that there was nothing wrong with the little girl upon inspection. He smiled and asked, “So, do you need me to send you to the hospital?”

“Oh, that won’t be necessary,” Denise said. “But you could give me your number. I’ll contact you via WhatsApp if anything happens.” Then, she took out her phone and said in a domineering tone, leaving no room for further discussion, “Let me scan your QR code.”

Kenneth found the shrewd little girl adorable and did not give it a second thought. He took out his phone and opened his WhatsApp. As a matter of fact, he seldom used it. Hence, the app was no more than an extra icon on his phone.

After scanning Kenneth’s QR code, Denise nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, Mr. Handsome. We’ll contact each other via WhatsApp if anything happens to me!”

“Where are your parents?” They had been chatting for a bit now, but Kenneth noticed that the little girl’s parents were nowhere in sight.

Denise frowned and mumbled, “Ah, I haven’t even met my daddy yet.” The little girl then shook her head and left.

Kenneth laughed as he looked at her back. What a shrewd little girl.

“Let’s go, Tony.”

Anthony looked at her sister and asked, “What took you so long?”

Denise flashed him an enigmatic smile and said, “I met a handsome uncle outside the toilet entrance. He’s so handsome that I thought he’s some celebrity, but he’s not.”

Anthony did not wish to entertain the starry-eyed Denise and walked ahead of her.
