President's Substitute Wife

After I agreed, Ming seemed to want to say something. I heard his other cell phone ring.

“Wait a minute. I have to answer the phone.” Ming didn’t hang up. I heard him answer the phone and say, “I’ll be right there.”

Then he picked up the phone and said, “I’m sorry. There’s an emergency in the hospital. I have to go.”

“OK, you can go.”

I responded.

I hung up and soon heard Ming open the door.

I opened the door, too. He was dressed and waiting for the elevator.

He smiled when he saw me. He came up and hugged me. “Wait for me to come back. Remember the birthday present you promised me.”

“OK.” I nodded and hugged him. “I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Although Ming wanted me to accompany him for one day, I still thought I had to prepare a birthday present for him.

The next morning, Ming didn’t seem to come back. I sent Lester by myself and went shopping.

The clerk at the counter recommended me countless gifts in the morning, but I didn’t like them very much.

Ming was not a business person, so ties and cufflinks were not suitable for him.

But I didn’t know what else to send him.

When I was about to find a place for lunch, my cell phone rang.

It was my personal cell phone.

And it was Linda!

I answered the phone at once.

She asked me out for lunch. We chose a western restaurant not far from both of us.

By the time I arrived, she had arrived.

Today Linda was wearing a well cut cape and skirt and high heels.

Five years ago her hair was black, long and straight, but now it was brown and curly.

When Linda saw me, she said, “I didn’t expect Becky, the famous designer, to be you.”

Then I said goodbye to Linda and went to pick up Lester.

Tomorrow was Ming’s birthday.

Lester would break Ming’s birthday present. I put it in a very high place.

In the evening, I called Ming when I started cooking.

His cell phone had been off.
