Laura was left on the spot.


    Robert said to the child, “You can take a nap in Mr. Smith’s office for a while, since


    didn’t get any sleep on the ne earlier today. Remember to have a good rest.”

    Laura nodded and watched Robert leave.


    After watching Robert leave, the receptionists quickly showed surprise on their faces and


    squatted in front of Laura. “You’re L, right? I’ve seen you on television. I like you very


    much!”


    Laura was ttered and replied obediently, “Nice to meet you, Miss.”


    One of the receptionists felt like she was going to melt from the child’s cuteness. “Oh!


    You’re so polite calling me ‘Miss.‘ You’re so cute. Can I take a picture of you?”


    Laura nodded. “Sure!”


    The three receptionists took photos with Laura one by one. They could not help but like the


    child so much.


    Suddenly, one of the receptionists frowned. “Speaking of which, why do I feel Laura looks


    so familiar? I feel like she looks simr to someone.”


    An idea crossed another receptionist’s mind. “Do you think she looks like Mr. Smith?”


    Hearing this, the girls looked at each other and were suddenly prompted by a realization, staring at Laura in fear.


    They thought, “She looks way too simr to Mr. Smith. Could L be Mr. Smith’s illegitimate daughter? Robert even left the child here to him!”


    Antonio had always hated to be nosy, and even his sons rarely came to hispany.


    The receptionists wondered if they had discovered a secret gossip in thepany.


    They then looked at each other.


    Laura’s heart skipped a beat, and the child felt something was amiss. She said, trying to make her words obvious, “Miss, my daddy is dead!”

    Just then, Antonio happened toe downstairs to pick up Laura after receiving the message from Robert and heard the child’s statement, feeling dumbfounded.


    He was utterly confused.

    The receptionist was taken aback by Laura’s words and tilted her head. “L, what did you


    say?”


    Laura grabbed her own skirt nervously for fear that they would figure out something wrong from her words. She said firmly, “I don’t look like Mr. Antonio Smith. If Mr. Smith knows


    about it, he’ll be angry! You can’t say I look like someone else because my daddy and


    mommy are dead. They’ll be unhappy too if they hear it!”


    The receptionists choked upon hearing that, and the smiles on their faces were awkward. “Really? Do you look like your daddy or your mommy?”


    Laura lied without hesitation, “I look like my mommy. I look exactly the same as Mommy!”


    The receptionists looked at each other and did not overthink it.


    They epted Laura’s answer.


    They also thought it was really impolite to say that the child looked like someone else, especially when her parents had passed away.


    Antonio’s gaze looked even moreplicated as the man stepped forward and walked


    toward Laura. “Laura.”


    Laura came to her senses and saw Antonio, She ran toward him with joy. “Mr. Smith!”


    She opened her arms and wanted to give Antonio a hug.


    However, Antonio looked at her solemnly.


    The child withdrew her arms with fear and stood still, behaving reservedly. “Hello, Mr. Smith. Mr. Yale left me here because he said he <b>had </b>some urgent matters to deal with, so he asked you to take care of me for a while at the moment. I won’t cause you any trouble.”


    She kept her distance from Antonio, as if she was a child from another family.


    Somehow, Antonio felt frustrated for some reason. He spoke with furrowed eyebrows.

    Laura ran over and followed him, even waving to the receptionists after turning her head


    back. “Goodbye, Miss.”


    The receptionists looked at each other. Seeing the man and the child walking together, they


    felt it was even more unbelievable.


    “Don’t they look exactly the same?”


    “That’s right. This little girl looks too simr to Mr. Smith. I won’t believe it if he’s not L’s


    father!”


    “That may not be true. I think it’s just a coincidence, considering that Mr. Smith is a rich


    man. Maybe he has an illegitimate daughter or sister outside!”


    “Oh! I think this reason is reliable. Since the child said she looks like her mother, then her


    mother must look like Mr. Smith.”
