"My dad is a man of few words. A quiet, traditional man. But he was unconventional towards me; I was his little princess."Ira looked at the man in office through transparent gla.s.s. It had been seven years since she saw him; seven years since his death; a year after her divorce. She missed him a lot.
Her Hero. Her support. Without him, she didn"t have any desire for success. Making her dad proud of her achievements was the reason for her striving so hard.
Lu Hai, A self-made man who build the entire business of Lu Pharmaceuticals, which exported medicines worldwide from a scratch.
Past was still invading her spirits. Keeping all negative thoughts aside, she wiped her tears. She wore a hearty cheerful smile reserved only for her dad and entered his cabin in high spirits.
"Dad! You look especially handsome today with your black hair with dyed white strips and the fake gold tinted frame spectacles" Ira said."But dad this time your beard is not dyed properly I can see no white hair" she laughed smugly.
"Shhh Girl! These business secrets not to be spoken out loud and what do you know? Such things give more domineering and mature feel." he explained.
"Ha_ Dad who dyes their hair white to look old? And isn"t your vision just fine?"
"Girl your dad does, Any problem?"Making a long face Dad declared.
"Absolutely No, Boss!" Ira admitted.
Dad then looked serious asked "Anyway I heard you were sick yesterday and went home early. Are you okay?"
Without any warning, Ira hugged him.
"What happened to this girl now? Hmph!! Utterly no respect to the boss. We are in the office, Girl"
Though his words meant something his lovely smile couldn"t hide his excitement. Since Ira"s marriage, she unconsciously distanced herself from him. Building an invisible wall between the father and daughter. He never forced things on her, Even spoiling her. Nonetheless, the Marriage was practically forced on her regardless of her opinion. He willingly accepted her hard feelings.
Now he was Taken aback!
Ira gripped him more tightly.
"Dad, you will be a grandpa soon," she said faintly in his arms.
"You are squeezing me. Dad!"
That day everybody saw the Cold Arrogant person, well known for his temper, with a sweet smile the whole day. Sometimes even madly laughing by himself!!
"What"s wrong?? Does CEO have a dual personality?"
"Yaaa personality disorder"
"Maybe it"s bipolar"
"No Schizo patients talk and laugh by themselves"
The whole company was discussing serious issue what kind of mental illness did boss got.
"Maybe he got Alzheimer and forgot that he is boss"
"Hmph!! I am not old. Your father I just dye few hair whites"
Even when people were late for meetings, he smiled.
When a huge contract was canceled; he smiled.
The floor was slippery, he slipped got up; he smiled.
Someone broke his favorite imported expensive vase; he smiled.
On the way home, a bird p.o.o.ped on his head; he smiled.
OH!! It is good luck anyway.
"Anyone dares to take away my smile. Hmph!"
