Chapter 7
President Chester had ordered his assistant to carry out a DNA test to confirm the little girl's paternity.
After an hour, his assistant called to him nervously at the topmost part of the company, the president's office, "President Chester!"
"The DNA test has been carried out and it is 99.9% similar.."
"Meaning?" President Chester asked with a confused expression.
" Meaning that she is your biological child"
Unable to believe that his assistant had just blurted out, he snatched the DNA report from his assistant's hands and stared at it. Indeed, it showed that the little girl was truly his biological child.
He was surprised and confused at the same time. Apart from Olivia, he didn't remember having any sexual relationship with any other woman, noy even Harlow.
He averted his gaze at the little girl. She was seated on a couch in his office as she happily snuggled her doll, giggling and eating a strawberry candy.
"Child" he called as he walked to her.
She looked up at him with her cute doe eyes.
"What is your name?" He asked.
"My name?" She repeated.
"Yes, your name"
" My name is Adriana," she giggled.
" Adriana, what a nice name. What is your surname, Adriana?" He asked as he stared at her tenderly.
" My surname is..Osvaldo," she replied. Aryan had told her to say her surname was Osvaldo if she was asked.
"Osvaldo?" His heart sank. He had expected her to say Perkin's. But maybe Olivia had changed her name after her accident.
" How old are you then?" He asked.
The little girl looked up at him and smiled, "I am five years old!" She showed him four of her fingers.
He chuckled at her cuteness.
Five? President Chester's heart skipped a bit.
Olivia had died five years ago and it was at that time that he received a call from the hospital that she was pregnant.
Had she survived the accident five years ago? He suddenly grew excited at the thought.
Maybe Olivia had survived and went somewhere to give birth to his child.
" Okay, little Adriana. What is your mummy's name" he asked, somewhat excited.
The little girl looked at him as a sly grin formed on her lips, " I don't know"
A little frown formed on his face as he bent down to meet her gaze, "a good little child doesn't lie, are you lying?" He asked.
"Maybe, it is said that lying is passed on from generation to generation, Daddy, do you lie?" She asked, leaving the man speechless.
His assistant, Gerald, who had witnessed the whole incident, wanted to burst out laughing but swallowed his laughter.
President Chester glared at him, " has the surveillance footage been checked to know where little miss Adriana came from?"
"Yes, but unfortunately it had been altered by an unknown skilled hacker," Gerald answered.
Chester frowned. He employed a team of experienced software engineers to take care of any technology in his company, so how was it possible that the surveillance camera was hacked?
It didn't seem like a coincidence at all, the little girl who turned out to be his biological daughter and the surveillance camera being hacked.
Suddenly Adriana spoke up, "Daddy! I want to eat waffles and honey!" She didn't want Chester to be suspicious or anything
Waffles and honey?
"Alright, I would arrange for it to be brought to you," he said.
"No! I want it to be specially prepared in the house!" She sulked.
Specially prepared! This little girl was really getting on his nerves.
" No problem. Gerald takes her back to the mansion and orders the servanito give her anything she wants" Chester ordered, but the little girl seemed displeased.
" Daddy!" She cried again as President Chester's brows knotted in frustration, he was so confused. This was the first time in his life that he had ever dealt with something like this so it was all new to him.
" Did I say anything wrong, Little princess?" He asked.
Adriana's lips flattened as a year formed in her eyes. " It seems like you are already fed up with me and you don't want me here. Mummy was wrong to bring me to you!" She whined as tears stained her cute little face.
She was already crying. Her cute nose turned red as more hot tears streamed down her cheeks.
Now, Chester was very confused. He had not felt this helpless and confused ever in his life but just in a day of meeting this little girl, his world had turned upside down.
" I am so sorry, please don't cry" he hushed, trying to console her.
" What do you want me to do for you?" He asked.
Adriana cleaned her tear stained face and stared at him, " I..I don't want people I don't like to..to take care of me" she said amid sniffs.
" Okay, it's alright" he looked at her with a soft expression, " what do you want then?"
" I want to choose someone I like!" She said,
" It would be done, Gerald, take her home" Chester said and immediately, Gerald escorted her home.
Gerald escorted her home and kept a watchful eye on her all through.
About an hour later, president's Chester's phone rang, it was his assistant, Gerald.
" Hello Gerald, any problem?" He asked.
" President Chester, little Adriana rejected all the servants in the mansion," Gerald explained.
President Chester who was so occupied with office related matters spoke up with a slight frown, " employ new servants then, until she chooses who she likes"
Gerald was surprised, " yes President"
Olivia had arrived at her house at noon, and with the help of the truck driver who had brought her things for her, they moved the heavy equipment in the sitting room.
Suddenly, her phone rang, " hi, is this Olivia Gael?"
" Yes it is, any problem?" She asked.
"Congratulations, you have been chosen by the little mistress, please come over to Perkin's mansion immediately"
Prekin's mansion? Was it not Chester Perkin's residence?
