ALPHA UNIVERSE #2: HEAVEN

EPILOGUE

So much for trying to focus, and Donghyuck exasperatedly sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose.

Yet rather than hearing disappointed feedback, small chuckles came out from the department heads as they all watched how the CEO's secretary struggled to keep the little boy in place.

"Okay, as I was saying," and his discussion was interrupted again by the sound of a toy dropping on the tiled floor.

"Oopsie," a small and adorable voice echoed as he scrambled to pick up the scattered parts of his Lego car.

"Mhmm, so 30% was added to our marketing rates for the last two weeks after we released the new design, and honestly, well, this is a good starting point to promote more, so we could at least aim for another 20% higher to make it 50 to maintain good results for the next six months."

Finally. The CEO mentally applauded himself for holding his patience and nudged for the heads to start their parts.

"We recorded about 15% higher in the early morning," the head of media marketing said.

"Sir Huang already discussed the special limited designs to be released if the necklace sets return satisfied results, sir," the representative of the production designs added.

"Ah yes, yes, Renjun already handed the draft to me," Donghyuck acknowledged.

"What about the delayed delivery inquiries from EN-C Touch, sir?" the head of the warehouse operatives asked.

"Well–"

"Say sorry!" a sudden exclaim from the very back immediately gained the majority's reaction, making the secretary panic.

"What was that, Ronhui?" Donghyuck giggled, making the little boy's confidence boost even more.

"Should you be sorry, papa? They will get angry," Ronhui answered in a pout, earning lots of coos.

His father just laughed and nodded. "Right, we should apologize, but don't worry, baby, Papa already handled everything," he winked, and the little boy just proudly smiled at his papa.

And so much for the cute distraction that doesn't only affect the CEO but literally everyone in Meeting Room 7. Donghyuck decided to call it a day, which gained positive responses.

The department heads shared a happy high-five from their four-year-old daily supporter, Lee Ronhui, before exiting the room.

"I'll take it from here, Lila." Donghyuck approached the two with a warm smile.

"I'm sincerely sorry, sir; maybe I'm really not good at handling kids."

"No, no, no bad feelings really. Ronhui here is just a hyperactive kid." He carried his son with a grunt, then placed a kiss on his cheek, which made the kid giggle. "By the way, when will Hyerim's meeting end again?"

"Oh!" Lila rushed to grab her tablet from the small sofa set and browsed for the COO's schedule. "Exactly 10 minutes, sir."

"Great! I'll see you then tomorrow, Lila. Thank you for taking care of Ronhui in the meantime."

"Thank you so much, sir. Do continue a happy day." Lila politely bowed and walked out.

Meanwhile, Donghyuck only noticed Ronhui slowly dozing off on his shoulder, making him laugh. The sound of it startled the sleepy kid.

"Hey. What about greeting Mama's guests?"
