One Night Surprise

Chapter 479 A Little Fairy Once Told Me

The next morning, the workers and children of World Vision Orphanage in the northern suburbs all lined up in 2 rows near the orphanage’s entrance. Amidst the warm welcome from both sides, Alicia slowly walked toward the entrance of the orphanage after getting out of the car.

As Angie and Josephine followed closely after her, the endless applause from the crowd started to make Angie’s temples throb. She had been having a bad feeling about today since last night.

Even though their welcome seemed hearty, she knew that none of them were applauding for their arrival. After Alicia was guided by the orphanage director to his office, Angie held Josephine’s hand as they walked around the compound. It wasn’t long after when the orphanage’s workers started talking in hushed voices amongst themselves that Angie finally understood the star of today’s activities.

A mysterious wealthy person in Melrose City was willing to donate a huge amount of operational funds to World Vision Orphanage. If the donation proceeded as planned, that would mean that the orphanage had a chance to change its facilities into new ones, which would, in turn, bring about positive changes to the children’s living conditions. The other thing that they were most happy about was that the workers’ quarterly bonuses might double.

A plump woman waving a little red flag instructed the crowd who was cozy and sleepy from being under the warm sun, “They are here! Everyone, get ready!”

Angie stood by the entrance, and she craned her neck to peek at the silver sedan parked outside the orphanage’s gate. She caught sight of a middle-aged man with a balding head sitting in the sedan. With his sunglasses on, and a briefcase in his hand, he got out of the sedan and walked past the cheering crowd toward the director’s office.

“Is that the mysterious rich person?”

“Dummy, why would a mysterious person show themself so easily? He is a lawyer who has work to do here.”

“Does this mean that our double bonus is confirmed? Haha—”

Josephine was tired from hearing the chatter going on, so she clasped her hand around Angie’s mouth and started dragging her along into the orphanage.

Alicia would usually bring Josephine along to attend these charity events. Under the older woman’s constant influence, it became a habit for the young girl to lend a hand whenever she could. However, she did seem tired today. She even looked like she was anxious.

She pushed open a wonky wood-colored door that made a loud creaking noise, and she was immediately greeted by the sight of a skinny figure shaking behind the door. The person’s big eyes immediately shot up to look at the figures of a young girl and a young adult still standing outside the door.

Seeing him, Josephine couldn’t help but wonder why there was a boy hiding in the corner when everyone at the orphanage was supposed to be welcoming their guests at the entrance.
