“He’s out on medical parole, as seen on Owen’s computer.”
We carried Daniel home, quietly put him in his crib, gently took off his shoes and socks, and covered him with the quilt. Looking at his angelic sleeping face, Leanne felt that it was all worth it, that mommy wanted to give you a happy home and a happy life with grandpa.
When she was pulling the curtains for Tiny Ann, Leanne was suddenly frozen in place.
I saw a familiar car parked not far from her house, a blurred shadow leaning against the side of the car, only to see a little red spark bright and dim. The hand clutching the curtain clenched, nails embedded in the flesh but can not feel the pain.
“What are you doing? You’re still awake.” Miller took a glass of water and stuffed it into her hand, pulled the curtains closed, the water was warm, and so was his heart.
“Don’t go back today, the guest room is still empty, you can stay here.”
Miller shrugged his shoulders in agreement, after what just happened to Mogin, he was not comfortable with the two of them, mother and son.
The next morning.
Miller toasted the bread slices to a golden brown with a charming aroma, the blueberry jam was Tiny Ann’s favorite, the vegetable salad with corn kernels was Leanne’s favorite, and he fried eggs for each of them.
It’s been a long time since Leanne has sat down and had a good breakfast so relaxed and content, “Eat up and mommy will take you to kindergarten.”
“Yes mom.”
Daniel is particularly happy today, holding his mother’s hand and jumping forward.
Suddenly Daniel noticed that his mother had stopped for something and looked over at her line of sight, only to see a pile of cigarette butts, “Does mom think this person is not protecting the environment? The teacher said that kids who litter are bad kids.”
“Eh, Little Ann can’t learn from him.”
“Got it mom, Little Ann must be a good boy who cares for the environment.”
Leanne stroked his head.
When she came back the cigarette had been swept away by the hardworking sanitation workers, so clean that she suspected that the Vinson she saw yesterday was a figment of her own imagination.
The phone dinged and pulled her back from her cloudy trip. It was a message from Owen, asking when she would be at the office and he wanted to see the design.
Leanne is sure that this time Owen will make a fortune with this design and gain his trust so that he can be one step closer to the truth.
“Owen, I was waiting for you.”
“There was a delay when a couple of finance reports came in.” Owen’s hand naturally rested on Leanne’s shoulder, today she wore a goose yellow sleeveless top, and sensing Owen’s movement, the warmth coming from the touched skin made her queasy in a strange way.
“This time the positioning is simple, so I chose the suit as the main body, in the jacket waist splicing the recently hot organza, small lapels can better reflect the characteristics of the workplace women competent, inside with a solid color princess sleeve shirt, the material of the button will choose shell, small but never be covered, because the suit is from foreign countries, the bigger the clothing company using the tailoring The skirt is a short fishtail skirt with a hem spliced with organza of the same color, more than 5 cm above the knee, elongating the body proportion, wearing high heels also look better.”
Owen stared at her pink lips with lipstick on, and felt a fire inside him, “Leanne, you’re amazing, you’re my savior, this dress is going to sell like hotcakes.”
Just as Owen was about to make his next move, ding-dong.
The computer came with an email alert sounding.
It was an unfamiliar sender. What comes around always comes around, and it comes around just in time.
Leanne deliberately clicked on the email in front of Owen.
The content of the email is very simple, just a few short sentences, “Hello Miss Leanne, I am Mo Jin of Mo’s, there are some things I want to talk to you in person, I will send a car to pick you up during the lunch break.”
“What? Didn’t Mogin get taken away by the police?” Leanne asked Owen, pretending to be unaware.
“The old fox is out on medical parole.”
Leanne laments the connections that Mogin has built up over the past three years, while Owen can so openly call his former father-in-law an old fox, and I’m afraid the world is aware of the wolf’s ambition.
“Lucy ran away, Mogin also paroled, what should we do, the new product launch this time must not make mistakes ah.” Leanne did not move far away from Owen, went to get a glass of water for each of them.
Owen sent the design to the factory responsible for making the clothes, and after instructing them to make the samples with care, he said to Leanne, “Leanne, I’ll come with you at noon.”
“No, the company needs you to preside over the big picture.”
“It is because of this I am going, he will not disregard the big picture, after all, Mo still has some shares still with him, after I force him to sell his shares to fill the holes in the company, then …” he also realized that he had said too much to Leanne and hurriedly stopped. “We’ll go together at noon, he won’t dare to do anything to us.”
Only Owen himself knows who is emboldening whom on this trip to see Mogin. lucy is an unstable element, but Mogin is a more dangerous time bomb, especially when the trigger is not in his hands.
“Vinson, you have a lot of red blood in your eyes, haven’t you rested well?” Shirley brought in a cup of coffee with milk, and the aroma spread throughout the office.
“Probably didn’t sleep well yesterday.” Vinson played sloppy with her, picked up the coffee at the right temperature and took a sip, his lips lingering, “Tell them all to keep an eye on Carl, and to report to me anyone he touches at the office.”
“I have long instructed them, and can not send him important work, but also will not let him idle, I have let the following every day to take the green paperwork to him to sign, a year on a few hundred, he can not read, not a month to sign is not finished.”
“Shirley you are so clever.” Vinson laughed.
Looking at his smiling face, Shirley really put his heart down, this period of time he is always sullen, even if he can make him smile.
“Mo is preparing for a new product launch, and I’m afraid ….” Shirley didn’t put her concerns into words, but Vinson had gotten the message.
“She won’t betray me, isn’t there a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and as long as Owen is around, she’ll still be our friend.”
Shirley’s heart ached as she looked at Vinson’s thoughtful side. How she wished she could share his burden, but it seemed that the things about Leanne were things she couldn’t do anything about.
Jim had already settled in abroad and sent Leanne an advertisement-like email using a public IP address with the words “Safe Arrival” hidden in the initials, which Leanne deleted with a small smile.
