Chapter 69 When Your Girl Was Moving, Brighten Up Her Day! (Part One)


    For the past few days, Ca had a lot on her te. She went to work from Monday to Friday as usual.


    And back at home, she spent every minute she could spare on tutoring Sean. But she was actively


    engaged in what she was doing, so instead of exhausting herself, Ca felt like she was living a very


    fulfilling life.


    Now that their new home had been ready, Ca decided to move into the new ce this Saturday.


    Ca didn''t have a big family. So for her house-warming party, she just invited some lovely neighbors


    from her old neighborhood, the ones whom she talked to a lot like Karen and the others.

    "Ca, my sweetheart! Darling, sorry for noting to your party. I should''ve been there and helped


    you move! Our new boss just didn''t approve my asking for leave. He kept on giving more work for


    everyone and he even demanded that we work overtime!"


    ording to Violet, this so-called "new boss" was tough and hard to please, yet Violet had no intention


    of impressing him at all.


    "Vi, maybe he''s not that bad. Maybe he''s just... Is he a workaholic himself? And, uh, how do I put this,


    maybe he thinks highly of you. You really need to look on the bright side. Maybe all of these


    responsibilities that he''s giving you means that you''ll get a promotion soon!" Ca said in a reassuring


    voice while sinking into thefortable couch on theirrge balcony. It felt so good she could just sleep


    in there instantly.


    "Oh, Ca! You''re too kind. You always look at the bright side of life! But actually, I highly doubt that I''ll


    ever get a promotion. I''m gonna tell you a secret. It''s so embarrassing! Please don''tugh! Right before


    that man became my new boss, I was at a party with a friend and that man was at that party, too. So


    what happened was, I walked into him kissing a girl against her will!" Violet narrated. "No way!" Ca


    gasped. "Yes! That''s what I''m talking about! You know me. I can''t just stand there when a man is


    assaulting a woman! So I grabbed my 4-inched heel, went up there and smashed it on his head!" Violet


    continued her story.


    ''Ouch!'' Ca thought as she touched the back of her head. She was surprised that the man could have


    survived that. Violet could be really reckless and act rashly every now and then. Sometimes,


    Violet didn''t even know what she was doing until she has calmed herself.


    "Thank God he didn''t call the police and had you arrested! What happened next? Was he holding a


    grudge against you because you stood up for that poor girl?" Ca eximed, genuinely curious and


    worried about Violet.


    "No! It''s far worse! I''m such an idiot! Apparently, what really happened was that he didn''t force himself


    on the girl. It turned out that the girl kissed him! That was insane! Wait! Ca! Stop it! I know you''re


    going tough... Anyway, it was just a little wound on his head. He told me to go away, but I couldn''t


    leave him bleeding! I''m still a decent person, you know! So we went to the hospital and the nurse


    treated his wound. I thought I would never see him again. But the next day when I went to work, he was


    sitting in therge separate office, staring at me with that you-are-so-dead face." Violet''s tone changed


    by the second. To ra, it was fascinating to hear her talk.


    "Ahh ha ha... Sorry about that, keep going... Haha..."


    Caughed hysterically with tears running down her face. Her chuckles echoed throughout the


    balcony.


    Ca feared that herughter may have disturbed Sean so she raised her head and searched for him.


    Sean was talking on the phone in the living room. He didn''t look disturbed at all. So Ca rested into


    the couch again and said,"Vi, look at the bright side. I think it''s not that bad. You know this could be the


    start of a romantic story. So if this boss of yours has girls throwing themselves at him then he must be


    young and pretty!"


    "E, a romance with him? He wishes! Young and pretty? He''s almost 35! That''s 12 years older than


    us! 12 years!" Violet couldn''t bear the thought of being romantically involved with her boss.


    Ca tried to suppress her giggles but ended up bursting into a mess ofughter. "Vi, you''re so funny! I


    don''t think 35 years old is that bad. You should give him a chance. A man at his age is mature and


    responsible. And they''ve already learned how to take good care of a girl. By the way, 35 is by no


    means old."


    "Not old? He IS old and wicked! He looks like he could be my uncle! I''m like an eighteenth-century


    Violet keptining about her new boss on the phone,pletely forgetting that she was at the


    office right now.


    Poor Violet who needed to work on a Saturday


    and ended up trash talking her boss who was just at the next room


    and had a habit of leaving the office door wide open.


    "Miss Violet, I believe we need to talk," stated Mr. Hard-To-Please, William Qi, solemnly. "You think I''m


    old? And I look like your uncle?"


    In fact, William didn''t look his age at all. He was charming that some people even thought William


    looked like a 22-year-old Ondo Bloom. And right now, he was carelessly resting his hand on the back


    of Violet''s chair. He looked right at her condescendingly with an obscure smile and a dark face.


    Violet panicked,"Mr. William! Sir! Why are you here? No, I wasn''t talking about you! I was talking about


    another man who was also kissed by a girl at another party! You''re the richest and most handsome


    man I''ve ever seen! I swear on my uncle''s life that you''re not the guy I was talking about! Definitely not!


    I can exin this. I was telling my friend, Ca about... Errr... About a weird couple! My friend''s date,


    her date was so ugly! He definitely looks like he could be her uncle! Yes... That''s it!


    Sorry boss but I was gossiping about a totally irrelevant person! I''m sorry about answering a personal


    call on work hours. But I swear, it was the only thing I did wrong today! I didn''t insult anyone, especially


    you. And I have a lot of work to do, thanks to you. But that''s totally fine because I love my job! Work is


    everything to me. I''m basically a working machine here. So can you please let it go, please?"


    Violet rambled insanely fast. And she felt ashamed to fawn on him. But a grown woman like her knew


    when to disy weakness, and when to use her charm if necessary.


    Violet hung up the phone.


    All Ca could do on the other side was pray silently to God that things weren''t that bad for Violet


    and that she didn''t have to resort to her woman''s charm.


    Hopefully, she could survive this. Ca raised herself up from the couch again.


    She just had aplete turn of thoughts. Something was going on. Sean had been on that phone call


    for like an hour! That was way too long for a 10-year-old boy. Was he talking to a girl? Wow!


    "Sean, who are you talking to? Is that a girl?" asked Ca.


    Ca had already pictured a sweet teenage girl in a pink skirt on the other end of the line. She giggled,


    took out two jars of frozen yogurt out of the fridge and gave one to Sean.
