"Uncle Murphy has to go?" Arya looked at Stanley, a little bit reluctant.
Calvin didn't say anything. He crossed his arms on his chest, which looked like a small adult.
"Yeah, Uncle Murphy's friend is sick. So he has to go to visit her." Violet touched Arya's head, "Okay, let's get off the car."
With that, she opened the car door and motioned for the two children to go down.
The two children were very obedient and got out of the car.
Just when Violet bent over and was about to get out of the car, Stanley took her arm.
"What's wrong?" Violet looked back at him blankly.
Stanley looked straight into her eyes, "Sorry."
Violet was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Why does Mr. Murphy apologize to me?"
"It was me who brought the two children over. Your competition is not over and you don't have time to take care of them. I will arrange for someone to come and help you." Stanley let go of her arm.
Violet suddenly realized that he apologized because of this.
"No need, Mr. Murphy." She waved her hand, "You have already taken them to the parent meeting. How can I continue to trouble you? I will apply for a lounge with President of the Branch and let them stay there. So don’t worry, Mr. Murphy. Just go to see Miss Ellis."
After speaking, Violet got out of the car, turned around and waved to Stanley. Then she helped him close the car door.
Stanley finally drove away.
Violet and two kids watched his car go away. Until they couldn't see him, Violet took the two children to the building.
"Mommy, the person Uncle Murphy is going to see is the lady who was in the Godfather's ward last time and the lady you didn’t let us see, right?" Calvin asked while walking.
Violet didn't deny it. She nodded and replied, "Yes."
"What is the relationship between Uncle Murphy and that lady?" Calvin blinked.
Arya raised her small hand, "Arya wants to know too."
Violet squeezed the hands of the two children, "Kids don’t need to know too much."
"Hmph, again! Mommy says that every time." Arya pouted.
"Yes!" Calvin also nodded in agreement.
Violet let go of their little hands and tickled them, "You two dare to tease Mommy."
The two children giggled while hiding.
They three came to the office of President of the Branch in this way.
President of the Branch had been very fond of Violet. After he knew her intentions, he was very happy to let people prepare a lounge.
Violet thanked him again and again, and then took the two children to the lounge.
After eating in the lounge and playing with the two children for a while, seeing that the game time was approaching, Violet told the two children not to run around, then she left the lounge and walked to the conference room.
But while on her own way, she was stopped by a group of people approaching, "Violet."
"Mr. Moore." Violet stopped and looked at Mr. Moore and the others.
Mr. Moore turned his head and said something to the people around him. Then these people nodded, took another look at Violet, and left.
Mr. Moore came to Violet with his cane.
Violet tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Mr. Moore, why are you here? And those people just now..."
"Come with me." Mr. Moore didn't answer her, but motioned her to go with him.
Seeing his serious face, although Violet didn't know what happened, she didn't ask anymore. She just followed him into a room that looked like an office.
