Chapter 528: Mister
Gabe dug into his food with gusto. The fresh air in this place and the morning exercise had made him ravenous. And the freshly baked rolls were too delicious while the pancakes could rival Ian’s.
Beside him, Jack stared at Gabe and the quickly disappearing food and decided to keep his thoughts to himself. It had been a real long time since he’d seen the Boss eating so well. Maybe he should test the waters," Hungry much boss? Are you really Gabe or Seb the one with the appetite of a growing teenager?"
Gabe chuckled and shook his head," I am suddenly famished. At this moment, I could defeat Seb."
"Well, I’d cheerlead for you, Boss."
Gabe shook his head and reprimanded," See, it is because you make statements like these that people are thinking you are in love with me. At this rate, I won’t be able to find a girlfriend, Jack! Everyone is going to think I am taken."
Jack stared at Gabe in amusement and realized that the man had almost changed overnight. Was this the same man who would have punched him in the face if he had even mentioned the topic of getting a girlfriend. This was suspicious. But he couldn’t point
Gabe suppressed his smirk as he took in his assistant’s confused expression. Ha! They wanted to keep an eye on him by using Jack! This kid! He was the one who had mentored Jack since he was a dandy 20 year old, looking for a job. He knew just what to do to confuse this kid. He was so happy with this little success that when someone poked into his rib from the side, he almost jumped from his chair.
Gabe turned his head to see a little girl, no more than five years old, standing beside him with a determined expression on her face. What a cute little one. Even before she opened her mouth, Gabe was tempted to squeeze her little round cheeks and pull at her pigtails. He looked around and wondered where this little one had come from. Was she a guest here in the hotel? And where were her parents.
Before he could question her, "Excuse me, mister," the little girl piped up, her eyes fixed on the plate of pancakes in front of Gabe. "Can I have some of those pancakes too?"
