President's Substitute Wife

I had no choice.

I took the medicine and went back. Lester slowly recovered in three days.

But he never went to kindergarten.

I went to work normally. Ming didn’t called me these days.

When I was at work, I gave Linda the finished drawings. Linda asked me, “what’s up with Lester? I feel that his illness is a little abnormal. You have to check him. If he doesn’t just catch a cold, his condition will be delayed.”

“OK.” I nodded and said nothing else.

I couldn’t tell anyone about my deal with Ming.

Linda and I had known each other for a long time and she knew my character.

I didn’t say much. She put down the things in her hands and looked sideways at me and said, “what’s the matter? Do you know what’s wrong with Lester?”

“...”

I looked down and didn’t talk.

Linda looked at me with her hands around her chest and smiled, “are you going to ask for leave again?”

“I will not ask for leave for the time being.” I paused and continued, “but in a few days I’m going to ask for leave.”

I was getting married.

But I didn’t say.

I thought if I couldn’t turn down Ming and I had to get pregnant or get married.

Now I thought I would choose the latter.

After all, I didn’t really want to have Ming’s baby.

“Well, the rich are busy. I understand.” Linda tidied up the things on the table and said, “recently, the design of our office building is coming to an end. If everything goes well, we can know when to move this time next year.”

“Great.” I smiled.

In fact, I was still looking forward to moving to a new office building.

But because I was too busy recently, when Linda said it, I was not as happy as before.
