Chapter 47
“No, I don’t want to leave. I want Auntie!” Lundy looked up at Aimee and said to me in a fierce tone.
Seeing the determined look on the little boy’s face, I knew that he wouldn’t go back with me today, so I didn’t insist. Then I turned to look at Aimee and said, “Lundy has always been dependent on you, and she has been around you for a long time. Her autism symptoms have slowly recovered. This time she was frightened and a little repeated. Besides, he is not willing to leave you now, so can you take care of him for some more time?”
I looked at the woman on the sofa and said sincerely.
Aimee’s POV
I touched the little guy’s head and said, “I’m very busy these days. The project my teacher gave me has been put aside for a few days because of me. From tomorrow on, I have to go back to the research institute to work overtime. Maybe I can’t even take care of Aviva and Cyrus, so…”
Lundy’s eyes darkened.
Penn also frowned and looked at the little guy with embarrassment.
“As you said, Lundy needs to be taken good care of now. I can’t do it, and I don’t want to delay Lundy’s recovery. So Mr. Carter, you’d better find another one.” I explained.
Penn looked down at Lundy. “In that case, Lundy, you can say goodbye to Auntie.”
Lundy grabbed my clothes reluctantly and looked at my face in disbelief, with tears in his eyes.
Seeing the little guy’s sad face, I felt a pang of pain, but I still managed to look away.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
I’m afraid that if I take one more look at the little guy, I won’t be able to help but stay here.
“Aunt…” Lundy cried.
I still insist on not looking at him.
Aviva and Cyrus couldn’t help but speak for Lundy. “Mommy, since Lundy wants to stay, how about…”
“I will ask sworn mother to pick you up these two days. You must listen to her. ”
Hearing this, the two kids shut up obediently
I shook off Lundy’s hand and said to Penn, “it’s getting late. Mr. Carter should be going to the company. Don’t waste time here.”
After saying that, I nodded slightly to him. Without taking another look at Lundy, i turned around and went upstairs directly.
What I said to Lundy is not just an excuse. The research institute is really busy recently.
Because of the wound on my wrist and the little guys’ insistence, I had a day off at home.
Aimee’s POV
On the early morning of the second day, I was woken up by a call from team member. We chatted for a while and I rushed to the research institute without having breakfast.
The previous research had come to an end, and the beginning and end of this project were very difficult. Therefore, when the project was just started, I almost stayed in the experimentation area all the time.
Now it was the end, and i had to get back to my busy work.
I had been busy for nearly a week.
When i finally got the result I wanted, everyone in the lab was boiling.
I can’t help but feel happy.
When I was abroad, although I was an independent incense maker, I worked for my teacher. Many projects were nominally completed by me on my own, but I still received guidance from my teacher.
This is the first project I have completed on my own!
“Aimee, are you free tonight?” when i came out of the experimentation area, Dexter walked to me with a smile.
I was stunned and looked at him in confusion, with a little vigilance in my eyes.
“It seems that you have forgotten your promise. When the project is finished, please have a celebration party together. Everyone in the team is waiting!”
I agreed without hesitation. “It’s my pleasure. I’m too busy. Please inform everyone. See you at eight o’clock in the evening, Wilk.”
Dexter agreed and turned back to the experimentation area.
After a while, I heard a cheer inside.
Judging from the voice, one could feel the excitement of the crowd.
This project was very difficult. If it could be completed, it could be regarded as everyone’s breakthrough. In addition, tonight’s celebration party was also a good thing.
After returning to my office, I asked my assistant to book a private room for Wilk. Then I called Daphne and asked him to pick up the two kids this evening.
At eight o’clock in the evening, I went to Wilk with the people from the Research Institute.
When they arrived at the private room, everyone raised their glasses to propose a toast to me.
“After Aimee came to our research institute, s he not only helped us solve the big problem of the supply of materials, but also took us to do so many projects. Thanks to Aimee, our research institute can be today!”
“I almost thought that I couldn’t finish this project. Fortunately, Aimee is a talented and bold woman. Aimee is so beautiful and capable. I’m really envious of her!”
Compliments came one after another.
I stood up and replied, “it’s what I should do. On the contrary, I should thank you for trusting me and cooperating with my work.”
When I came back, I guessed about the current situation of the domestic research institute and was ready to be found fault with.
But I didn’t expect it to be so smooth.
As soon as i finished speaking, someone teased with a smile, “when we knew that you were coming, Mr. Finger had said a lot of good words, which made us stunned. Then we saw the real person, who dared to refuse?”
Hearing this, Dexter raised his glass to me as if nothing had happened. “I just told the truth.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it up.
I felt something was wrong, but I couldn’t figure out why. In addition, everyone was making fun of me, so I quickly forgot this doubt.
It was almost ten o’clock in the evening when the dinner was over.
Everyone was in a good mood and had a good meal. Even I was a little drunk.
Just now at the dinner table, I almost didn’t refuse any of them. I don’t know how much wine I was drunk.
When I came out of the private room, i felt a little dizzy.
“Let me drive you home.” Dexter looked at me worriedly.
I had a headache because I was drunk. I frowned and said, “no, thanks. It’s getting late. Let’s go home early.”
After saying that, he said goodbye to everyone before he turned around and walked to the door.
When i walked out of the hotel, she found that it was raining heavily outside. There were many people standing at the gate of the hotel to take shelter from the rain.
I don’t have an umbrella with me, and I can’t drive home by myself. I can only hide in front of the hotel for the time being like those people and call a designated driver on the Internet.
These people at the door seemed to have the same thoughts as me. I waited for a long time, but no one answered the order.
When I was about to call Daphne to pick me up, I heard a familiar voice.
“Sir, it’s raining outside. I’ll wait for you at the gate of the hotel with an umbrella in my hand,” Bill said respectfully.
