CHAPTER 16
IRIS LOU POV
When I opened the door of his office, a man sitting in a swivel chair came up to me while he was frowning as he looked at a piece of paper on his desk and he didn’t seem to notice me when I opened the door of his office.
I walked closer to him so he just looked up and looked at me. but nothing changed in his expression because he seemed to expect me to come. I placed my Luggage on the side of his table before I sat down in the vacant seat in front of his table.
“Now tell me what’s wrong with the company.” I said to him and leaned back in my seat and crossed my two legs and put my elbow on the side of his table. He took a deep breath and placed his two elbows on the table before folding his two palms and looked at me.
“It’s not that bad because the stock of marketing products is down and it’s easy to solve that. but what I wonder is when our company suddenly changes to a new product, that’s also what the other company will release even those who know about our new launch product are just assigned to the marketing product so it looks like there is a treacherous employee here and it’s not being investigated yet.” he said as if he didn’t have the problem about the Chrisis that facing the company, I was just shaken because I thought it was a big problem and someone would bring down my company. But It’s just a small problem, it’s easy to find The traitor in the company. It’s just a piece of cake for me.
“And did you already know?” He said suddenly So I looked at him like a questioning look because I don’t know anything about his question.
“you were invited to a party next week and you know it’s not impossible for you to meet your son’s father?.” he said that’s why I looked at him badly.
“D*mn what is that party for Dexter and I just found out that I’m the one who’s going there!” I said angrily to him.
“There will be a gathering of well -known businessmen and woman and we know that you are one of them. Iris we can’t deny that the blood of your father is still with you, and you also know what the status of the life of the man who became part of your past was also a billionaire.” He said calmly so I just sighed.
Thinking that I would see the person I hated before, I didn’t know what my reaction would be to him. I don’t know what I will do when I see the woman he chose is with him.
“If he really doesn’t love you, the show him that you can live and stand on your own two feet without him next to you, show him what kind of woman he just threw away.” Dexter said so I stared at him.
“And when did I ever say I don’t have feeling for him anymore? Huh dexter?” I said sarcastically to him so he just grinned.
“Oh So that means until now you still love him?” He said with a playful smile, that’s why I stopped and just realized what words I left out.
“Let’s stop this nonsense topic! I’ll leave you to take care of this company first and I’ll leave my things here, I’m just going somewhere.” I said and stood up before going straight out the door of his office and didn’t wait for him to say something.
When I came out of the door of his office, I went to the elevator and entered before pressing 1 which is on the first floor of the company. while I waited, the elevator stopped soon, I just looked at the way out of the company. I wanted to go to the places I wanted to go first. When I came out, I just looked at the guard and went to wait for a ride because the weather was also very hot now, not long after that there was a taxi coming so I stopped before I entered. “Let’s go to Petals Orphanage.” I told the driver.
“Copy.” He replied, you may be wondering why I just mentioned the Petals Orphanage because that orphanage was a part of my life when I was still here in the Philippines. I still remember the time before I discovered that Petals Orphanage.
I was walking on a side walk because I wanted to go for a walk first so that I could have fun because Eliot is busy with his company and I don’t want to bother him anymore. the weather was clear, the heat of the sun was just right and there was wind and there were trees on the side. I was comforted by what I saw.
I was just wearing a simple white dress and I was wearing doll shoes while I was carrying a shoulder bag on the right side of my arm. the wind also blows my relatively short hair. As I walked there I noticed that I would pass the park so I continued walking until I first thought I stopped in the park that many children were playing so I was amused to watch them I walked to a tree that was too big but the cleanliness of the surroundings is beautiful so I just don’t think the place because the view is beautiful and there isn’t much sun, you have to include the super fresh air that you can really comfort.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
when I reached the tree I immediately sat down and leaned against the tree and watched the children playing and I also noticed the two nuns with them watching them. I’ll just smile while watching the children because they were so happy, I was thinking of having such a happy childhood but it looks like I didn’t experience it because of my own father.
when I was comfortable watching the children, I noticed that the two nuns were next to me watching over the children, I didn’t even notice them. they both sat down next to me before one of them spoke.
“Daughter we noticed you were super happy but in your eyes we could see the sadness.” Said one.
“I’m sorry sister, I’m used to be like this.” I said awkwardly and smiled at them.
“What is your name ?” One of the nun ask.
“I’m Iris Sister.” I said smiling when answering her.
“With a nice name, just call me Sister Lina and she will be Sister Hera.” Sister Lina said that’s why I nodded to them while smiling.
“Why are you alone here?” Sister Hera said and just looked at the children so I looked for her before answering.
“I just thought of comforting myself because I can’t do anything at home.” I spoke softly. “You sister, are you the ones taking care of those Cute kids?” I asked and looked at a girl, she was one of the children, she was a very beautiful child and also very cute.
“Yes, we just come out for them because it’s been a long time since we first took them out of the orphanage, we don’t want to deny them their freedom, we also don’t want them to be locked up in the orphanage all the time so we thought of bringing them here. ” Sister Lina answered.
“Where is the orphanage that your sister is staying in?” I ask because I haven’t been to an orphanage since I set foot here in the Philippines.
“Don’t you know about the only orphanage here in this city?” Sister lina asked me in surprise so I just shook my head in response to her.
“Then you can come with us later back to Petals Orphanage if it’s okay with you and we won’t bother you.” said Sister Hera.
“All right, sister, I’ll come later. I don’t have anything important to do, and I want to know where the Petals Orphanage is so that I can visit you if I have time.” I answered while smiling and still looking at a girl who is very beautiful.
“Did you know that the Petals Orphanage was built by a very intelligent young man. Even if he is cold, you can still see in him the respect for the elders.” Sister lina said smiling so I didn’t answer because I was corious for what she would say next.
“He was the one who always donated to Petals Orphanage, what I also liked about that boy was his helpfulness to his fellow man.”
“When he used to visit the orphanage, he always had a child from the street with him so we could do nothing but take care of the children he brought with us.”
“I also remember what he told me before that he wanted to be a good man so that when the time came he would be worthy of the woman he had long wanted.”
“I could read in his eyes how much he loved that woman, so whoever it was, she was super lucky because she had a man willing to love and wait for her.”
“She is really very lucky because she made the Petals Orphanage for a woman he loves because since he was a child, that’s what the woman he love and wants. “Sister Hera interjected in the conversation.
“Not only that, do you know why he’s here in the Philippines? Because he said he followed the woman he wanted for a long time.” I’m sure now he’s watching that lucky woman. “Sister Hera said meaningfully.
“Do you know what his name sister’s?.” I ask.
“he just gave us the name Pard. That child is very mysterious.” Sister Lina kept saying that the name was a bit familiar to me but I just shake my head, Because we were talking so much we didn’t know the time and it was a bit late so we just got up and asked the children to leave and go back to Petals Orphanage, I wanted to come so I just came to see the Orphanage as well. .
“Let’s go kids because it’s late.” Sister lina said so the children also stopped playing and obediently followed the orders of sister Lina and hera.
