After mulling over, the little boy let out a heavy sigh.
Ivan heard his disappointed groan, causing him to look down and finally notice the little boy.
He felt like he had seen the child before. But since he wasnt completely sure about it, he didnt give it much thought.
Susan was a superstar. So wherever she went, a flock of fans was always on her tail. Some were so desperate to grab her attention that they would even bring their adorable children along.
After handing over the flowers, Ivan said, Miss Salazar, Mr.
Sullivan would like to congratulate you for winning the Brandy Award for best actress.

Susan was so ecstatic to receive her first major award that she told the media that she was getting married soon.
Thank you so much, she replied with a smile. Under the envious eyes of the crowd, Susan gleefully accepted the flowers. After giving them a sniff, she looked behind Ivan with an expectant look in her eyes. Unfortunately, the man Susan hoped to see was nowhere to be found.

Wheres Victor?
Apologies, Miss Salazar. Mr. Sullivan planned to pick you up himself.
Unfortunately, he couldnt make it because something urgent came up.
Im assigned the task of escorting you back to your residence for safetys sake. I hope you dont mind, Ivan answered.
With pursed lips, Susan dejectedly replied, I see. Thank you, I guess. Lets go then?
After a firm nod, Ivan led the way. Susan handed over the flowers to her assistant in preparation to leave. However, the little boy reminded her that he was still waiting for her answer.
Hey, lady. Im still here, you know?
Susan froze, looked at the child, and thought, Ugh, why is this kid so persistent? And what can I say? If I tell the truth, everyone here will shun my assistant for picking on a child. I definitely cant let that happen.
She wanted to leave, but if the boy started to cry, she would be in trouble.
Uh, kid. Im sure its just a misunderstanding. She probably just praised you for being a polite little boy, and you misheard it as something else, Susan said with a wry smile.
Is that so?
Yes, dont worry about it! Susan couldnt help but feel guilty deep down in her heart although the boy looked nothing strange.
Hmm, alright. I guess I just heard it wrong.
Now that her assistant was in the clear, Susan breathed a sigh of relief. She opened her purse to look for some candy. When she finally found one, she bent down, handed it over, and said, Here you go, little boy. Have some candy. You know its not safe for a child to wander alone, right? Go back to your parents. I need to go now.
The little boy smiled while eyeing the candy, making him look absolutely adorable. But surprisingly, he didnt take it.
Im sorry, lady. But my mommy told me to never accept candy from strangers. She said Ill get taken to a place far, far away if I do.
