"...Mm... thank you but those aren"t mine, I prefer the other one." An kai said walking towards the shoe stand. he removed the ones he was wearing and then put on blue indoor slippers. he smiled faintly before asking casually,"When are you ready to leave?" my grandfather doesn"t want so many people here given that his a.s.sistant is not home. I don"t want people to consider you a burden.
"you shouldn"t worry, I can do most things myself but if you want me to leave then, I will. Linda said biting into her lower lip. but An kai who continued to walk towards the staircase without looking back heaved silently. her willingness to move out made him more relaxed so he didn"t see the point in answering her back

After Roline had her breakfast, her dad came over to her lovingly, "I hope you haven"t forgotten about our plan, right?
"yeah..., are you taking me out for a movie?" it has been long since I last watched a movie with you ha. I bet Christina will die from jealous when she hears that you took me out when she"s at a hospital arrest.
It"s too early for cinemas to be open and by the way, we aren"t going out, I want you to visit a friend of mine. Do you remember that doctor who used to come here back then, he"s here and he wants to see you...oh no, I want you to see him. he might be of great use to us.
"use?"...Dad, how can a psychologist be of any use to us? all we need is to get Tina out of the hospital. she has so many things to attend to plus, when the children find out about her way abouts, they gonna be angry and some out of control.
you wouldn"t want the orphanage building burnt down, would you?
"Do you really have to scare me that way?"
"...oh, would you like us to bet on it? you have got so many grandchildren out there. Cai is just a semi-junior to them. if you don"t believe me, don"t do anything maybe then you will meet them officially at the police. but of course, you will be there to clean up all the mess they will have created for your dearling daughter ha!
Roline knew how Christina had mothered all the kids she looked after, it wasn"t a business anymore but a very big family. the children had acc.u.mulated over time, from those of few days up to those who were there before Christina took over. some were eighteen years or so old...

But leaving jokes alone, Roline wasn"t saying complete no sense.
At the An headquarters...
"There two young boys at the counter seeking to see the president." a young woman in a feminine suite said.
"But she isn"t here. tell them but if they insist, let them into one of the resting rooms to wait there."
Tanu was the woman in charge. working in the enemy"s territory wasn"t the best choice but she still did. Christina hated anyone as long as that person had had something to do with The Ans. she had put so much blame onto them that she didn"t like even the little children but Tanu knew her reasoning, " An apple doesn"t fall far from its tree." but she wasn"t guilted over her words or her decision.
it wasn"t her fault that she loved the wrong person...ah no, it wasn"t her fault that the man loved her just as much. he is the only person that contented her. and it wasn"t her fault that the love they shared was unable to change the latter"s hateful and jealous character but the most interesting part was that it wasn"t her fault that he loved and treasured her while he hated and tortured An kai and his other family members.
Listening to Christina"s mocking words every single was unbearable but knowing the people at her house will smile, it empowered her greatly till this day. she was second in command and given her elderly poise and alure, learning to respect her was a must. over the past few months, Christina slowly let go of saying bad things to her, slowly closing the old chapters of their first two years as workmates.
Tanu was still thinking when she suddenly noticed the young woman still standing near the doorway without moving or saying anything.
"I said, tell them that Ms Christina isn"t here or they should wait."
"Hmm...it"s just that they want to talk to you personally. I explained but still, they didn"t move..."
"let them in..." Tanu said because she was definitely out of options. she breathed deeply before dialling a number using the office phone.
The two boys had just stepped inside when the phone was picked from the other side.
"h.e.l.lo?" Roline"s voice rang through the whole room because the phone was in loudspeaker mode making the boys .look at each other in confusion.
