Gemma's heart began to beat wildly. After comparing it several times, she found that the signatures of Horacio and the president were the same!
When she received the contract, Gemma also saw the signature, but she didn't read it carefully at the time, and the signature was also written in cursive script. If she didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to tell that it was Horacio's.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?"
Horacio also finished the call with Nelly at this time, walked out of the bedroom with a smile on his phone, and saw that Gemma looked a little uncomfortable.
"Horacio, why... why are your signature and the president's signature the same?" Gemma asked doubtfully.
Horacio was stunned when he saw the signature on the loan contract, thinking that something was wrong. When drafting the contract, Nelly said that this loan was a special loan and required the president's signature. Horacio didn't have much time to do so at the time. Hence, he signed it without hesitation.
How should he explain this to Gemma now?
"Don't tell anyone about this."
Horacio suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said, "When I was applying for the loan, the president happened to be away. The president and I happened to have the same name. So the staff asked me to imitate the president's handwriting to save trouble."
"What?"
Gemma looked surprised. "This is 15 million. How could such a big thing happen..."
"Hey! It's not as serious as you think. They only cared about the official seal of the contract, and this is not a rare thing."
"Think about it. How many loans does Golden Banner Bank have to issue every day? The president can't be in the office every day waiting to sign, right? So his signatures are usually signed by the customers themselves, which is normal."
"But don't tell anyone about this matter. Although it's not a big deal, spreading it out will not be good for the bank's reputation."
Gemma looked at the signature on the contract in shock for a long time, always feeling that this was strange, but Horacio's explanation seemed to make sense.
"Ugh. I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Seeing Gemma's suspicion, Horacio cleared his throat and said seriously, "Actually, I am the president of Golden Banner Bank. If you need money in the future, just ask me. The entire bank belongs to our family!"
"Screw you!"
Gemma rolled her eyes at him angrily and then went to take a shower.
Horacio finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that sometimes the truth was the best lie.
"I've finished washing. Go ahead and wash. The water is still hot."
Gemma came out of the shower and wore a silk nightgown. Her perfect figure was looming, and her hair was draped wetly on her shoulders. She was as charming as she could be.
Horacio was a normal man, so it was inevitable that he would have some thoughts when he saw this scene.
"Deborah, I want to tell you something."
Horacio called Deborah aside and said seriously, "You're already a big child now, so you have to learn to sleep alone. Can you sleep on the sofa tonight?"
Deborah replied immediately, "I don't want to. I want to sleep with you two!"
Horacio tried to convince Deborah, but she just didn't agree.
Seeing Horacio's frustrated expression, Gemma blushed and whispered to Horacio, "Let's wait until Deborah falls asleep."
Before sleeping, Deborah asked Horacio to tell her stories as before.
"I'm going to tell you a story today that you have never heard before." Horacio smiled.
"Really? That's great. Dad, tell me now." Deborah's big eyes were full of expectation.
Horacio smiled and said, "The story I'm going to tell you today is called Advanced Mathematics, and the protagonist of the story is called a function. Once upon a time, there was a number in the first quadrant of the x coordinate..."
In less than a minute, Deborah began to snore.
"Done!" Horacio smiled playfully at Gemma.
"What a story. I almost fell asleep just now."
Gemma was dumbfounded, thinking that Horacio was so awesome that he used advanced mathematics to hypnotize Deborah.
Then, the two of them tiptoed out of the bedroom, came to the living room, hugged each other, and lay on the sofa.
For five years, the two missed each other, like two fish intertwined in the water.
The room was filled with fragrance, and they were sweating profusely.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Ah!
The two of them were startled and hurriedly put on their clothes. Gemma's face was so red that it was almost dripping with blood, and she was completely at a loss.
"Deborah, why did you come out?"
Horacio panicked in his heart, but on the surface, he still tried to remain calm.
"I got up to go to the bathroom. Dad, what were you doing just now? Why did you end up on the sofa?" Deborah asked with a confused look on her face.
Horacio's mind was spinning rapidly like a top, and he smiled. "Your Mom can't sleep. So I am practicing wrestling with her."
Deborah still looked confused but still seemed to understand and was fooled.
Horacio and Gemma looked at each other with a wry smile and then had no choice but to take Deborah back to the room to sleep.
The next day, Horacio sent Deborah to kindergarten. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he heard someone shouting from behind, "Deborah, good morning."
Deborah turned her head and said, "Good morning, Ms. York!"
A young woman with long flowing hair walked toward them with a smile.
"Ms. York, this is my Dad."
Deborah couldn't wait to introduce him. During this period, she was very happy because she had a father. Hence, she would introduce him enthusiastically to anyone she met.
"Hello. My name is Paulina York, and I am Deborah's class teacher."
Paulina smiled and stretched out her hand politely.
"Hello, Ms. York. Thanks for taking care of Deborah at school."
Horacio also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake her hand, then smiled and said, "Ms. York, I have something to say. The children in the kindergarten are still so young. It seems inappropriate to ask them to take German test papers at this time. Isn’t it inappropriate?”
"German?"
Paulina was stunned and suddenly smiled. "I'm sorry. I made a mistake. That test paper is mine. I made a mistake when I handed out the test paper to Deborah yesterday. I also wondered where my test paper was.”
"That's right. I was still thinking yesterday about why the current education standard is so high." Horacio smiled in relief.
Paulina smiled again and asked, "By the way, the school will hold a parent-child sports event on the 7th of next month, which is about two weeks later. Do you want to sign up to participate?"
Before Horacio could speak, Deborah quickly replied, "Teacher, we are participating. My parents are also participating. They are good at sports. They will win first place!"
Horacio smiled casually and said, "Deborah, how do you know we are good at sports?"
Deborah flashed her big twinkling eyes and said seriously, "Teacher, I'm not lying. My parents are good at sports. Last night, I saw my parents practicing wrestling naked on the sofa!"
Hiss.
He was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
