Genius Child: The Next Heir
Chapter 08: Second meeting

Everyone's eyes were on the man, everyone bowed respectfully and greeted him politely.

"Sir...." Everyone greeted him and looked very respectful to him.

However as usual the man did, he only nodded small without caring about it.

To him, everyone was just an ant in his eyes, and those who intended to curry favor with him, were completely useless before him, whatever he did had to be based on the profits he would get in the future.

As Caroline stared intently at the man, an immense pressure from within her, able to suffocate her breathing and all over her body, she frowned slightly, staring at the majestic figure.

He felt very familiar to her, but he immediately dismissed her thoughts, of course he had seen her, did he not accidentally meet her while in the airport, yes, maybe just like that, maybe, because even though he tried to remember further, he still did not remember where clearly, except when it was bombarded.

"Miss Renata, may I toast to your success...?" Said the man while offering wine in his glass.

Depressed by the presence of the majestic man, everyone immediately withdrew from the place, leaving Caroline and the man of great status.

"Miss Renata, we'll talk to the others first, sir, if you'll excuse me...." Said the men who were talking to Caroline at that time, to give space to the majestic figure who approached Caroline Renata.

Caroline realized that this man's status was so high and noble, that everyone was so frightened when they saw him, and everyone present valued him greatly.

"Well, thank you all, please enjoy the show until it's over...." Said Caroline to the people who tried to leave her with the figure of the great man.

Caroline took out a glass of wine on her desk, and immediately toasted to the grand man who approached her.

"Thank you, sir...." Caroline sipped the wine in her hand.

But the man in front of her did not budge at all, he focused on looking at her very deeply, so that made Caroline feel strange and awkward, could there be something on her face that was wrong.

"Sir... is there something wrong with my face.?" Caroline asked, noticing the man looking at her like a wild wolf.

"No...." The man's heart was short, with his expression unchanged, and with a heavy voice very gallant.

"What's wrong with this guy, why look at me like this...?"

Caroline said in her heart, looking back at the man's face in confusion.

But the man before him did not show any expression at all, so he could not guess what the cold man was thinking before him.

The two eyes of the person facing each other were looking at each other.

"Wait...! actually where I've seen him other than in the airport, why is this man's face so familiar in my memory...?"

He said in his heart while remembering who the figure of the man in front of him.

After a long time, Caroline coughed in shock, as she had realized one thing.

Uhuk... Uhuk... Uhuk...

"This man, this man, why does it look so similar to Luke...?" His words in his heart were instantly startled, and instantly his body trembled slightly.

"Miss Renata, are you okay...?" Ask the man casually.

"If you're not used to drinking, don't force yourself Miss Renata...!"

"What if you get drunk, and it can hurt yourself and endanger your safety...." A remark of sarcasm came out of the man's mouth, accompanied by a thin grin that seemed sneaky in his lips.

DEG... DEG....

As Caroline was a little unable to hide the concern within her, she realized and vividly remembered the dream that had always haunted her the last few years back.

A whisper that says that it is not easy to trust others, even if it is a friend, family, including his own father, when a foreign man whispers in his ear when tragedy first happened to him, at first he thought that it was all his dream, but at that moment, when he woke up, his entire body had left many red marks in his body, he said, and a foreign man who was sound asleep beside him without a piece of cloth.

The words of the man always appeared in his dreams, as well as a ferocious treatment from a man who gnawed all over his body.

All those bitter memories always haunt his dreams in the last few years, the dream begins to vanish when a young boy begins to grow up healthy and handsome, which always accompanies his days.

However, the speech was again heard in his ear, coming out of the mouth of a man who was in front of him. An old wound that he did not want to remember, but all were reminded back, by the figure of a man he did not know.

On the other hand Joel and Luke who were watching the diaula show from cctv, in a special room that had been provided by his mother, Caroline, Joel was stunned, when he saw a great man approaching his friend.

And when Joel glanced at Luke who was sitting right next to him, he realized the man was very similar to his adopted son, Luke.

"That man, isn't very clearly similar to Luke, he's the big version, and Luke is the little version...."

Said joel while staring at the cctv screen alternately by staring at Luke without showing expression.

"Didn't he-is-" The words in Joel's heart stopped at once, he stared intently at Luke.

"That man, is he really my father...?" Luke said in his heart without showing any change in his expression.

"Momi even looks very shocked with the man, such a status, is not a simple person, could it be the meaning of Momi's attitude all along...?"

Luke in his heart was full of questions.

At the bottom of his heart, Luke was eager to find out who his own father was, but he could not ask his Mom, fearing that she would make him hurt and sad.

Because, he knew very clearly, that Mominya had received a treatment that was not good, even very bad, in his life when he was a teenager, although Luke did not know clearly, big things like what has happened in the story of Mominya's life, so until now, the scar is very difficult to lose from the memory of Mominya.

And the return of his Mom to this country, was a great plan that he had devised, he carried a mission and a very deep grudge, especially regarding the death of his mother, his grandmother Luke.

"Sir, there are still many guests that I have to greet, Please enjoy the event, I'm sorry first...."

Caroline said politely, trying to leave the man immediately, she did not want to be in this kind of tense atmosphere, especially, he did not want to recall the bitter memories that so pierced his heart and his entire body, as if reminiscent of an old wound, which almost led him to death.

"Miss Renata, are you trying to avoid me and trying to escape again...?"

Seriate.....
