Chapter 49 An Unusual Email
"Maximo, I still think we need to meet him," Gia insisted, blinking her bright blue eyes at her twin brother.
"Hmm, you're right. I'm thinking the same," Maximo mused, scratching his chin.
"You do?" Gia's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Yes, Gia. I've noticed that some people keep following us all the time," he said, leading her to the window and sliding the curtain aside. He pointed to some men standing at the entrance of the building, dressed in black suits. "They are still there, keeping watch on us."
"Yeah, you're right. I also noticed a car always following us," Gia frowned, looking at the men with annoyance.
"Who are they?" she murmured.
"I noticed they have codes on their employee IDs. When I hacked into the system and looked them up, I found out they are employed by Alessandro Valentino," Maximo said, a stern expression on his cute face.
"What?!" Gla gasped, unable to believe it. "No, that's not true," she refused to accept it.
Her handsome hero couldn't be a villain in their lives.
"Whether you believe it or not, it's true," Maximo shrugged.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
"So, I am going to make an appointment with Alessandro Valentino because only he can answer our questions," Maximo said, pulling out his phone from the pocket of his jeans. He opened his email account and sent a request to Alessandro's company, using a fake ID from an imaginary company.
"I don't think he will meet us," Gia said sullenly.
"Oh, trust me, I will make sure he can't refuse our offer," Maximo assured her with a smirk.
He knew Alessandro Valentino wouldn't waste his time meeting five-year-old kids, so he sent an offer about a business deal and made sure to be persistent until he agreed to meet.
"Do you think he wants to harm us?" Gia asked, disappointment lacing her voice. Her handsome hero couldn't be so heartless and cruel.
"I don't know, but I need to find out why he has his people following us. And I also want to know why I look so similar to that man," Maximo whispered, deep in thought.
He didn't want to bother his mom with those questions. He knew talking about their birth father pained Mia, so he wouldn't ask her. But he wanted to know what connection Alessandro Valentino had with their mother and whether he could be their father.
The answers to all these questions could only be obtained by meeting Alessandro Valentino in person, and Maximo was confident that it would not be a big deal for him to secure an appointment.
Alessandro was sitting in his office, signing papers and reading reports for his next meeting, which was about to happen in an hour. He heard a knock on the door and, without looking up from the file he was reading, uttered, "Come in!"
"Sir, we have an unusual email requesting an appointment with you for tomorrow," his secretary,
Lisa, muttered, her voice trembling with nervousness. The whole office knew Alessandro's mood had been very bad for a few days, and no one wanted to be the reason to make him more annoyed.
Alessandro's head lifted at the mention of the unusual email, and he cocked his head suspiciously before instructing Lisa, "Let me see."
He had been aware that his company's system had been accessed from outside in the past two days, despite his personal efforts to secure it. This had infuriated him. Determined to catch the hacker responsible, he had set a trap. Perhaps this time, he had successfully caught the hacker.
After closing the file spread before him, Alessandro turned toward his computer, prompting Lisa to leave the room as he had no further need of her.
Opening his company's official email, Alessandro located the email in question. He swiftly traced the IP address and hacked the details of the fake account. To his surprise, he discovered it had been sent from Mia's place and used her son's phone. He found it amusing that a five-year-old boy could orchestrate such a scheme to meet him.
Reviewing the business offer, Alessandro was impressed; while there were flaws, they were not easily detectable. Only an expert like him could see them. Even large companies made similar errors in their proposals. The child was indeed a genius, just like he used to be in his childhood.
He sent a reply on his company's behalf and confirmed the meeting with the twins. Alessandro was very eager to find out why these kids wanted to meet him and whether their mother was involved in this as well.
Suddenly, Alessandro's gloomy mood brightened, and he didn't realize that a smile had already adorned his face. He picked up the file he had been reading reluctantly, finding it now very interesting and was determined to secure the deal. With determination, he prepared for the meeting, aiming to convince the other party that doing business with AV Enterprises would be beneficial for them as well.
Ever since he handed over Valentino Enterprises to Enzo, Alessandro focused wholeheartedly on his own business venture that he had previously established. He wanted to build something of his own while still managing his family business. Now, he dedicated all his time to AV Enterprises and also looked after his family business on the side.
He picked up his office intercom and called Lisa, "Cancel all my appointments for tomorrow. And make some special arrangements for a very important meeting."
Lisa was dumbfounded. "But Mr. Valentino, tomorrow you have a very important meeting with Mr. Walton. He is coming from New York specifically to discuss plans for a future collaboration with you."
"Please convey my sincere apologies to him and explain that something urgent came up. Arrange everything for his comfort and entertainment, ensuring he has a pleasant stay. I will meet him the day after tomorrow," Alessandro ordered his secretary seriously.
Lisa had no choice but to comply, "Okay, Mr. Valentino. I will ensure he understands and that everything is taken care of."
"Good," Alessandro uttered before hanging up the phone.
The day seemed to drag on for Alessandro, who couldn't wait for it to end and tomorrow to
arrive sooner.
