    Chapter 26 You Put Someone in My Company?


    “Mommy?”


    Mia had just hung up the phone when Anna quietly tiptoed to the study’s door, smiling sweetly at her.


    The resentment in Mia’s heart quickly dissipated, and she smiled, patting Anna’s head, “Mommy has to


    go to the office soon. Do you want to go to David’s or …?”


    Since they met, David had been incredibly attentive to the two children, and even before Mia could


    react, the kids had already taken to calling him their godfather.


    David was, without a doubt, the children’s favorite person


    besides Mia.


    Sure enough, before Mia could finish speaking, Anna quickly interrupted, “We want to go to David’s!”


    “I knew Anna loved me the most!”

    David’s voice came from the doorway, as he stood smiling, holding Ben’s hand. Anna saw him and


    laughed, rushing over to join them.


    After a round of happyughter, Mia asked David, “Can you take


    them? After all, your father…”


    “It’s fine,” David waved it off nonchntly. “What if my dad gets angry? Can he outdo my mom? The


    last time he called me, my mom yelled at him so much, he doesn’t dare to say anything


    now.”


    Mia thought of Mrs. Johnson’s fierce scolding and couldn’t help but chuckle.


    With that settled, she confidently left the children with David.


    Upon arriving at the Horizon Group’s building, Mia had hardly walked through the door when she


    caught the attention of many. The receptionist quickly greeted her, “Miss Clinton?”


    Although she had never seen the mysterious president before, Frank had made sure to show her a


    picture to prevent any unintentional neglect.


    Mia gave her a polite smile, “Thank you.”


    Not until she had left did the receptionist snap out of her daze, frantically messaging her colleagues:


    Ah! The president is so beautiful!


    Unaware of what had just transpired, Mia made her way to the top floor by elevator, where Frank had


    been waiting.


    “President Clinton!” Frank respectfully led the way to the office.


    Though Mia had yed a part in establishing the Horizon


    Group, this was her first time in the office. The bright and


    clean workspace offered a view of the bustling world below as if everythingy at her feet.


    Remembering her earlier days timidly shadowing Joe, Mia’s eyes filled with scorn. Indeed, only after


    experiencing a broader world did one realize their former shallowness.


    “We’ve nearly finalized our proposal with the Smith Group… What do you think?” Frank ced the


    coboration n on Mia’s desk, his voice cautious.


    Mia didn’t rush to open it, looking at Frank and calmly asking, “Do you think I would refuse to cooperate


    with the Smith Group for personal reasons?”


    The project was enormous, and aside from the Smith Group, no otherpany had the capacity to


    coborate.


    Mia’s prating gaze made Frank instinctively lower his head before realizing he had been subdued


    by the gentle-looking president before him.


    “Don’t worry, our rtionship with the Smith Group won’t be affected by our personal matters. Let Mr.


    Lake sign the contract with them,” Mia said after carefully reviewing the proposal.


    As Mr. Lake had initially handled the project, his signing the contract was justified.


    Frank nodded but hesitated before adding, “Mr. Smith has sent you several dinner invitations, hoping to


    dine with you.”


    Mia’s actions froze for a moment, but she promptly refused, “No need.”


    Though she didn’t intend to hide her identity, she also didn’t want to reveal herself, especially before


    clearing matters with the White family.


    Just as Mia picked up the documents beside her, her phone rang again.


    “Heard you went to Horizon today?”


    A light female voice came from the other end, causing Mia’s brow to furrow.


    She had been in thepany for less than half an hour, and Linda called to inquire. Was Linda


    tantly telling her that she had nted someone inside?


    The Clinton family had few heirs, and initially, the grandpa wanted Linda to take over the family


    business. But Mia had appeared and was also well-received by the grandpa, causing Linda’s hostility


    toward her to deepen.


    “If you return to the country, you’re wee to visit,” Mia said with a seemingly casual smile.


    “That’s a promise then! I will definitelye when I return!” Linda’s voice was affectionate, like a big


    sister who adored her little sister.

    Mia replied naturally, “Of course.”


    After some casual conversation, Linda suddenly asked with concern, “I heard the children secretly went


    back to Zyphoria. Grandpa was furious. What if something happens to such young children?”


    Mia’s face instantly darkened.


    She gripped her phone, responding coldly, “The children are fine, and there’s no need for you to worry,


    sister. But if you truly care for them, why not hire ten bodyguards to follow them day and night? That


    would ease my mind.”


    Linda was taken aback.


    She hadn’t expected Mia to be so calm and sharp-tongued.


    “Of course, no problem,” Linda’s voice remained steady, “I’ll have my assistant handle it.”


    They hung up the phone in a seemingly friendly manner. Mia frowned and quickly dialed Tom, “Send


    me the toys that Linda sent to the children.”
