My Dad's a CEO
Chapter 13: The Genius Child

A sunny Sunday Alvaro spent enjoying a cup of coffee in a cafe while staring at his laptop screen. Weekends don't mean holidays for him. He is like someone who loves work so much that no matter the working day or holiday he still works.

His casual appearance with plain t-shirts and jeans made him look young. Many stunned female visitors stole a glance at him. It looks like a magnet in the cafe.

Being the center of attention is nothing new to him. Alvaro knows he is handsome. Therefore, he let only people look at him despite the slight discomfort.

Alvaro turned his head towards the glass window beside him which was right on the side of the road. From there it is clear that people and vehicles passing by.

When he saw a child passing by, he focused his attention. He was familiar with the boy.

"Gavin?" muttered.

Alvaro was surprised that Flora's son was there alone to see a street vendor selling toys. He looked around trying to find the child's mother, but there was none.

"Is Flora crazy? Why was her son left alone? What if I get hit by a vehicle?" gerutu himself.

Unable to bear looking at him, Alvaro decided to leave his seat. He came out of the cafe to get to Gavin.

"Hello, Gavin," he said kindly. He squatted near the boy to keep them the same height.

Gavin seemed surprised to see Alvaro there. "Papa ..." he cried while hugging his mother's boss with reflexes so happy. He misses that guy very much. Meeting him made Gavin feel like he was meeting his own father.

Alvaro felt the same way. His heart was glad to get papa's call from the boy. He was eager to say if he was his father. But, Flora still wanted them to keep it a secret.

"Gavin why are you here alone? Where's mama?" ask Alvaro.

"Mama's getting a haircut over there" Gavin said, pointing to a barbershop not far from there.

"Then, why is Gavin here? What if there's a bad guy?" ask Alvaro to worry.

"Gavin just wants to buy a toy" Gavin replied innocently.

"What do you want to buy?" ask Alvaro.

"I want to buy this, this, and this!"

Gavin pointed at some of the toys he wanted. Alvaro pays for the toy Gavin took. Then, he took the boy inside the cafe where he left his belongings. Not to forget he bought drinks and snacks that Gavin likes to sit with him.

"Is that his son?"

"I think so. Look, their faces are so similar."

"Well, what a pity. I want to meet him."

"Patience, patience ... Who knows if he's a widower."

Gavin's presence there also attracted attention. Alvaro only smiled at the whispering voices of some of the women who had been watching him.

"Gavin, is spaghetti good?" ask Alvaro.

Gavin. He enjoyed the food ordered for him. He sat quietly and could eat by himself.

The man was stunned by Gavin's words until his eyes didn't blink for a few moments. It's like he can't believe a little boy, five years old, can understand what he's seeing right now.

Alvaro is focused on finding good stock prospects as an investment option. Since then he has been busy paying attention to stock movements in several large companies that he is interested in.

"Don't Gavin know about it like this?" ask Alvaro. He is fiddling with the screen of his laptop so that Gavin can see it more easily.

"Joice likes to play that. He said he does not need to be tired of working to be able to get money just by lying down while looking at the movement of stocks," said Gavin innocently.

Alvaro scrunched his forehead. "Who is Joice?" tanyanya.

"Sister who lived next door to Mama's apartment when we lived in the US. I often play with Joice when Mama is busy working. I also like to help Joice play it" Gavin said.

Alvaro is getting more and more confused. "Mostly ... You know how to play?"

He was not sure that such a small child would understand such serious work. He himself sometimes fails to analyze well the movement of stock price charts that can not be predicted.

"Of course you know" said Gavin with confidence. He put down his cutlery and pulled the laptop closer to him. The boy started moving Alvaro's laptop cursor like an adult.

"We just have to look at the stock chart that is in demand, right ... For example, this bank alone often appears in the news." Gavin eagerly explained what he knew to Alvaro.

Still holding doubts, Alvaro kept a close eye on what the boy was doing. He was even worried that the data on his laptop would be lost.

"If Papa is interested in buying shares, I think this bank is suitable for investment. Trend owned bullish, many green candles and price movement tilted to the right. The price is also above the moving average line. At the top it forms a relative base and stochastic below fifty. It's perfectly suited to buying stocks, Pa," Gavin said.

Alvaro was stunned to hear the speech of such a small child. What is conveyed is not knowledge that is usually mastered by children. Gavin can actually read the stock charts he is interested in.

"Gavin really never played stock too?" ask Alvaro convincingly.

"Yes, Pa. Joice has a lot of money even though he does not work and does not go anywhere. I often buy toys. My mom didn't want to, she said she wanted to work. Though I want Mama to continue at home, later Gavin who helps see the stock market. Mama doesn't believe."

Alvaro feels Gavin can't lie. Moreover, he is a very innocent child, it must be what is conveyed according to his heart. He looked at the laptop. Gavin's analysis reinforces his intention to invest there.

"Alright, then I will choose this bank as an investment place. As per the advice of Gavin," Alvaro said.

Gavin smiled happily. He continued to eat while swinging his legs like a child.

"If Papa's investment is fruitful, Gavin can be a part, right?" ask the boy.

Alvaro laughed at Gavin's question. "Of course, Gavin. You'll get your share for giving advice" he said.

"But, don't tell Mama, yeah!" pinta the boy.

"Why say Mama?" Alvaro.

"Yes ... Its alright. I don't want Mama to know about this."

"Alright, it's a secret between us" Alvaro said.

He looked at Gavin. The more he looked, the more he looked similar to him. He was sure it was his real son. He wanted to hug and invite her home, then do many things together to replace the times that had been missed without knowing that due to that night, he had a child from Flora.
