Before they could recover from their surprise, they heard Lucas Scott begin, "Today's meeting will stop here. Write up the issues in a report and send it to my office room, dismissed!"
"..."
"When you walk out, make sure you keep it down. If anyone wakes Molly, they won't have to come to work tomorrow!" Lucas added leisurely.
Suddenly, everyone in the meeting room wished they could turn into a wisp of smoke and float out the door...
They each lifted their legs high and tiptoed carefully out.
The meeting room quickly emptied.
Molly has always been a little lazybones who falls asleep as soon as she's full. Spoiled by Lucas, she sleeps even more soundly, her soft body curled up like a fox in Lucas's arms.
The innocent and serene sleeping face was the second time he'd seen it.
But each time, the impact was just as intense.
Lucas held the little girl in his arms, pushed the office chair back, stretched his slender legs onto the table, and closed his eyes as if to rest.
