2214 Words
By the time Oanh returned to the office, Minh had finished the meeting. Minh says: - Where are you going to run? You know, I should take you to school in the morning... - I met my mother today... "What she said startled Minh, except him, no one has met Oanh's mother." Minh is confused: - you have never met your mother, why are you talking about her today? "Perhaps because he was quite confused, his speech was a bit messy" Oanh says: -It's just that now I've met someone in this company, she's beautiful and very similar to me, I think she's my mother. Dad, I want a mom, I miss you..The baby's words hurt me so much. Oanh has not mentioned her mother for a long time, why is she saying that today."Minh asked the child: - Who have you met today, let's take it slow. - I went to buy water at the vending machine just now, I saw her! - did she say she was your mother? - No, she doesn't know me. She said that she was destined to see me again. Now she is gone. - You have never met her in my company? - This is the first time, I'm not sure either! “His little child is already in so much pain. How can you arbitrarily adopt a stranger as the mother of a baby? Yes, any child wants to have the love of both parents. For a long time, he has loved Oanh very much, but he can never replace the position of a mother in the heart of a child? " - Going to see who my daughter met at the company today. If you have any information, please let me know! Over the phone, he gave orders to his secretary. "Just heard an ok from the secretary." He turned again to his daughter sitting on his lap and said: - Wait for me to investigate and find your mother for you? - thanks my father. "hey girl, you'd better show up. This poor baby really misses you. I won't care why you abandoned the baby, I'll do whatever you want..." As he pondered, the phone on his desk rang: - Sir, I found it. She is the one who came to the company for an interview today. She specializes in designing... - Bring her file up to my room. "Don't let the secretary finish his sentence, somehow he's so nervous right now." After the secretary brings the file. He quickly opened the file: Nguyen Ngoc Nhi. 26 years old. Graduated from Harvard... That's right. It's her, the girl from 5 years ago. But why graduate from Harvard? He tried to stay calm and asked his daughter: - Is this someone you've met before? - It's correct. But her face is more beautiful than in the picture... is she applying for a job at your company? Then can you please accept her, because I miss her so much... “The child begged him. The child never had to beg him like that. It is said that there is always an invisible bond between mother and child. But does she not recognize her child? That's right, maybe it's because the baby is already this big. What is the purpose of her comeback after 5 years? Many questions were raised by Minh. But he doesn't want the baby to know what he's worried about." It's late at night, I don't know why today, she carried a pillow to her room: - I want to sleep with you today. - Have a nightmare again? - No, I can't sleep. - go to bed with me! Next morning - "Please inform Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Nhi that she can come to work tomorrow." Minh called his personal secretary. “So Nguyen Ngoc Nhi has been able to work for a gem company and can go to work tomorrow, can see her children soon. She misses the baby very much. During the years of studying in the US, she just hoped to graduate a little early, return to Vietnam soon, and see her daughter soon. David Nguyen once asked her: -What if you come back but the man won't let you adopt the baby? Nhi answered David without thinking much: - I am not qualified to accept the baby as a child, because I do not deserve to be a mother. I just want to be able to see my baby whether it's fleeting or just through pictures. If the baby hates me, I will still accept the truth." When she just arrived at the company, getting to know her colleagues, the general manager's secretary came to find her - Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Nhi, follow me to the General Director's room, he wants to see you right now. Ngoc Nhi did not understand why the director wanted to meet her but still could not disobey the order. Has he noticed yet? No way, the two had only met once in five years. No matter how good his memory is, he can't remember it. At this point, she was really confused. Do not know what to do. At the door of the room, the secretary politely knocked on the door, she quickly adjusted her mood. Until a low voice came from inside: "Come in". The secretary opened the door for her to enter, then carefully closed the door, returning to her desk. In a low voice, she asked: - Hello, General Manager, why do you want to see me? - Yes, please sit down.“Obviously you two know each other, but you still have to act like two strangers. While he didn't understand why Nhi had to pretend not to know him, she assumed that Minh had really forgotten everything. The atmosphere was extremely tense." Minh seemed to realize that, so he quickly opened up: - Don't worry, I just want a private interview. I heard that you graduated from the prestigious Harvard University, but why just make a simple application to apply to our company. Are you confident that you will be chosen? - That's not what I mean, sir. After graduating, I was able to work in the US, but I want to return to Vietnam and especially want to work at your corporation, so I only made a profile. I want to try my luck once. If I can't work at this corporation, I will wait until the corporation hires employees again.- I want to know the reason? - Sorry, this is a private matter, so I can't talk. But I promise to do my best to contribute to the corporation. - Just speaking by mouth, anyone can speak. - General manager, you mean... - I want you within a week to design me a gemstone bracelet for my daughter. The quality of that bracelet will help me assess your qualifications and decide whether to let you work here officially or not. - But your child is only five years old, it's not safe to wear jewelry with such precious stones... - You know my daughter? - Oh... I heard you mention that baby on TV before... - Does that mean you often watch my show? - oh no... just happened to see it, sir.... If nothing else... I'd like to go back to my office. “Without waiting for my permission, Nhi ran away. She was afraid that Minh would interrogate like that and everything would be revealed." And Minh whispered: "Compared to 5 years ago, I am now, much more mature and ... sexier. Very qualified to be my wife, the mother of the baby". * Ring... Ring... Ring, Minh's desk phone rings * - Hello .... Hello General Director, I'm Ngoc Nhi. Can you send me a photo of your daughter? I have to see what she looks like so I can design the right jewelry for her. If possible, send her pictures from childhood to adulthood... - Oh .... So I get it! Because you are missing the baby so much that you make such a request. Am I right to say that? As soon as I saw you, I immediately recognized it but did not want to say it right away. But it's okay I will accept your wish..... "After talking, he immediately sent pictures of his daughter to Nhi" Received a notification from her computer that her hands were shaking, because it only took one mouse click to see the baby. But she was so nervous, her heart was beating very fast and it was accompanied by an indescribable joy ... when she opened the document, the first thing she saw was an image of a crying baby. Is her child, from birth until now. With each picture, she sees the baby grow a little bit. Every moment of the baby, he captures, when the baby goes to the park, to the zoo, to a picnic at school... There is even a picture of him wearing a scarf. Maybe this is a picture when the baby just turned 1 month old. She smiles but tears fall. It's lucky that Minh loves his son very much... even though he lacks his mother's love, he has a wonderful father. Nhi thought to herself: "If time could be turned back, I would still give my son to my father, if I lived with my father I would miss him very much, but if I lived with my father, I would only suffer. Later, I will use both of them. Life makes up for me…” Looking at recent pictures, she suddenly remembered. It turned out that the girl she met when she went to the interviewing company was her biological daughter. It's annoying, the child raised by herself but didn't recognize it from the first time they met. She is really mad at herself. Can hold two long lines of tears. Just knowing the baby is living very well is enough. The only way is for her to stay in the company so she can see the baby. She started taking out the paper to draw the blueprint. Design a bracelet for a 5-year-old girl with precious stones. For what? She can certainly do it, but her main worry is that because the baby is so young, it would be very dangerous to wear valuable jewelry. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. That's right, using that material... She focuses on design without regard to timing. When everyone in the company had left, the lights in her office remained on. * 9 pm* After the meeting, Minh was tired and ready to go home. The job of a leader is really exhausting. When the employees leave the shift, the general director is staying at the board of directors meeting, meeting online with the branches ... Before Oanh appeared, he was always the last to return to the company, but since having children As a child, he always tries to finish work quickly so that he can return home as soon as possible. But a few weeks later, he worked overtime and came home a day late. Today is also one of the days when he comes home late. When Minh passed Nhi's office, he saw that her room was still lit. Minh wondered: Why hasn't she come back yet? “He slowly walked over. He was about to knock, but her room was unlocked. She looked inside and saw that Nhi had fallen asleep on the table. He walked in, on the table was an incomplete blueprint. Her computer is open. Probably too tired to fall asleep before shutting down. Looking at the computer, his heart fluttered a little. Looking at the desktop wallpaper is his daughter. " "You miss the baby, don't you?" That's the question he really wants to ask Nhi right now. But he was afraid, afraid that she would reject and leave like 5 years ago. He himself did not believe in the feeling that people call love. That love only makes people weaker. But he needs her help because the baby really needs a mother. He thought he would never get married. Father and son are living very well. However, after the day the child repeatedly asked to accept Nhi as his mother, he changed his mind, the baby needed a family. Perhaps due to sleeping on the table for too long, causing neck fatigue, Nhi suddenly woke up. Seeing Minh right next to her made her startled and asked: -General Manager, why are you here? - I was about to go back, I saw that your room was still light, so I went in to see. Suddenly found you sleeping on the table. I was going to wake you up but you woke up. - Shame. I felt a little headache but unexpectedly fell asleep... - Are you okay? - No, it's just that I feel pressured by His challenge that's why I am like that. I am afraid of being kicked out of this company by you. She laughed and talked, Minh also understood that she was just joking, so he laughed too. She is very friendly. This makes him really happy. Minh suggested immediately: - Where is your house? I can give you a ride.
