Leo tucked in the little girl in her room, and sat down with Snow. He picked up her feet and placed them in his lap as he massaged them slowly. Snow leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. Leo noticed the redness around her toes that was caused by wearing shoes for a longer duration.
He said, "Today, I went out on a date with my daughter, and we shopped a lot. She has taken after her grandmother."
Snow opened her eyes slightly and asked with a smile, "What did you buy?"
Leo told her what they bought and Snow was surprised. She did not expect the father daughter duo to spend so much money. She was about to say something to the young man when he said, "I have been making good money so we are no longer short on it. Don't worry."
As he said this he recalled the call he received earlier. The young man picked up his phone and then he redialed the number from his logs, and after a few rings the call was connected.
Leo said, "Hello, Leo Cardinal speaking."
From the otherside a calm voice sounded, "Hello, sir, this is Elvin Stein. I am the CEO of Yulu media. We heard that you acquired seventy percent stocks in the company. Firstly, congratulations and thank you for your trust. I wanted to ask if you would like to take over the administration of the company."
Leo replied softly, "Calm down, Mister Stein. I did buy the stock, but that was only to earn good money from an investment return. However, I do have a few instructions if you don't mind."
Elvin Stein took a deep breath and braced himself as he said, "Yes, sir. Please tell me."
Leo said, "Firstly, introduce a verification system where the parents are needed to approve the usage of the platform for them. There must be strict rules about the content being streamed as well. See, Mister Stein, the influence of the internet on children and the youth is far stronger than what many people can understand, what they watch is what models their brains and persona. So it is our responsibility to make sure that what they see on our platform is good content that makes them a better human."
Elvin Stein was surprised and then he said, "Sir, I completely agree with you. It is indeed our responsibility to make sure that the content we show is good, and I will initiate a team to come up with algorithms to monitor the content and also the verification for permissions."
Leo nodded and said, "In the short term, the revenue might come down, but in the long term, it will make a big difference."
Elvin agreed and the conversation ended amicably. Snow opened her eyes to look at Leo and asked, "When did you buy stocks in Yulu?"
Leo smiled and replied, "I had invested in as a ghost investor when it started, and only now the contract I had with the others matured and the shares were transferred. Dad made all these arrangements wanting to give me some foothold in the world when I take a stride."
The young lady did not doubt because Mister Cardinal was known for his ability to seek in the future and make decisions that reaped him great benefits.
The couple rested for a bit, Leo massaged her legs and made sure she rested well before they went out in the evening. In the evening, Leo reminded her to change her clothes and dress up nicely so that they can go out while he went to Lily's room.
The little girl also woke up and dressed up under Leo's instructions. The young man changed his clothes as well, they were all dressed in the new clothes that Lily had selected for them, and they looked like a rich bunch, however, none of the things they wore were flashy.
The young man decided to drive out in the sedan. The distance to the shop was not much but they drove in a slow fashion. Lily looked at Leo and said, "Baba, I want to eat some candy."
Leo nodded while keeping his eyes on the road and said, "You will get some after dinner, and I will buy extra, but only one candy for a day, okay?"
Lily chirped, "Yes, Baba, you are the best."
Snow pursed her lips and said, "Love, how come you never ask me what I want to eat?"
Leo smiled and said, "Because I know that your heart beats for Tres Leches or a nice Tiramisu. You don't like overly sweet things."
Snow nodded in satisfaction and she turned around in her seat to look at Lily in provocation. Lily asked, "Why are you smirking, Ma?"
Snow turned around and said, "Where am I being smug?"
Leo smiled and Lily said, "Ma, you are naughty. I won't share my candy with you."
Snow chuckled and said, "It's okay, Ma can buy her own candy. I can still have your Baba buy me candy."
Lily shook her head and said, "Baba, you will buy candy for only Lily, right?"
Leo was stunned and he said, "I can buy it for you both, no?"
Lily shook her head and said, "You cannot love us both equally, I do not agree. Ma don't steal my Baba."
Leo usually found his daughter very sensible but at this moment he found a side of hers that was very possessive. Snow said, "I don't have to steal your Baba, he is my husband."
Lily and Snow continued to tease each other, but then suddenly, Lily started crying. Leo was shocked and so was Snow. The young man happened to be inside the parking lot, and after parking his car he went to the back seat and picked Lily in his arms and began to coax her.
Snow felt guilty that she made the little girl cry, and as the three of them got out of the car, Leo said while patting her back, "Baba, will get you candy, and not get any for Ma."
Snow was walking behind the two of them, she did not mind Leo saying such things as it was something that would get Lily to calm down but then she saw Lily raise her head to look at her with a similar smirk like the one she had shown earlier. Snow was shocked and she mouthed, "You little trickster."
