Julia could not believe that he canceled a meeting with a Chinese multi national just to have ice cream with his neice, he never struck her as a man who would indulge anyone much less a child. She watched as the two exited the office with the little girls tiny hands tucked securely in Williams large palms as they made their way to a private elevator.
She instantly followed behind them, she wasn't going to pass on the opportunity to discover who the infamous ceo really is a saint or a devil.
The private elevator led to a parking lot. the adorable pair made their way to where a black rolls Royce was parked. The cheufeeur was already waiting outside the door. He pulled the door open for his boss and the young miss whilst bowing his head slightly in curtsey.
" hand me the keys" he commanded
"Yes sir" he gave him the key without hesitatation
He carried the little girl and placed her gently in the passenger seat making sure to tighten her seatbelt before walking back to take his place at the driver seat.

" your welcome to la bella café sir, you shouldn't have bothered yourself to come here, all you have to do is call our hotline and we would have had the ice cream deliverd directly to your office" he blurted. A cheap smile appearing on his face.
"you think I don't know that" William growled, his face twisting into a dangerous frown.
"I want that one!" she pointed towards the glass showcasing different moulds of delicious ice creams
"Of course baby, anything you want, he turned in her direction, a sweet smile blossomed on his face
He led the way to way to a suitable table for the both of them, and placed her in the chair opposite him.
" you heard her didn't you" he orderd the manager who had been following them like a lost puppy.
"Ye yes sir" he starmmerd before storming off.
Julia also pulled a seat for herself, not that it was necessary. Her eyes trailed to Williams face. His face was peaceful, and a beutifull smile bloomed on his face. He was staring at the little girl with adoration. His fondness for her was apparent. Julia could have continued to stare at the miracle before her for ages, it was a sight to behold. But violets warning resurfaced in her mind "don't stray to far" she had tagged along as an uninvited guest with the ceo, she wonderderd what he would do if he discovered a ghost was stalking him all along . being a ghost sure has its perks and benefits she mutterd to herself before disappearing in a flash.
She appeard inside Total complex , she strolled around the office looking for violet, eventually she found her behind an obsure desk, her head bent, she was punching the keyboard vigourously. feeling a human presence close to her, She raised her head and met julias eyes. " where have you been all along" she asked her voice laced with concern
"with the ceo"
