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.

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?”

“...”

“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.
