Living With My Lady Boss romance Capítulo 5

He immediately stomped hard on the ground. The concrete beneath his foot cracked under the pressure as he caught the kid like a bolt of lightning. His toes tapped off the front of the car as he floated a few meters backward lightly and landed on the ground gently.

All of that happened in the span of two seconds.

Just as Wilbur put the kid down, the witnessing passers-by let out cries of disbelief.

One woman, after letting out an alarmed cry, rushed over, hugging the child into her arms and inspecting them for injuries.

The driver had gotten out of the car as well. She made sure that the kid was all right before walking up to Wilbur.

"It's you?" They said at the same time.

Wilbur shrugged. "What a coincidence!"

"I'm so sorry, Boss. It's my fault for not paying attention. Are you alright?" Faye stood there nervously.

"I'm fine." Wilbur shook his head.

He came up to the child and checked for injuries before turning to the child's mother. "Is everything alright?"

"Yes, yes… Thank you so much… I was just paying at the store when this kid ran out on his own." The child's mother was in shock as well, stuttering as she spoke.

Wilbur smiled. "I'm glad you're both fine."

Just then, a crowd had gathered around in curiosity.

That was because they could hardly believe what they had just seen.

Wilbur noticed it and turned to Faye. "Let's go."

Faye hurried to nod. Wilbur got into her car, and the pair left the scene.

Faye was still worrying in the car. She looked in the rearview mirror to see Wilbur smoking silently while looking out of the window. Faye did not dare to say anything, and the pair kept quiet.

A while later, Faye could not take it anymore and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going, Boss?"

"Oh?" Wilbur seemed to have just snapped out of a daze and asked, "Could you help me find a place to stay?"

"Do you need anything in particular?" Faye asked.

Wilbur shook his head. "Nope. It just needs to be liveable."

"What about one of the company's properties?"

"That will do."

Faye nodded and drove into a wealthy area before stopping in front of a bungalow.

"This is the company property?" Wilbur asked in shock.

Faye nodded. "Yes. Cape Consortium bought it."

"You guys are really lavish with your money, huh?"

Wilbur could not help but shake his head at the sight of the massive house in front of him.

The houses lining the street were all mansions, and it was clear that this was a place of luxury.

Faye's gaze glowed brightly, and she said, "Please come inside, Boss."
