Chapter 591
Unexpectedly, from that moment on, the two siblings kept fighting over who was the older one. Neither of them was willing to give in!
“It was my mistake, I was careless. The two kids kept on asking where you were when you didn’t get them at the kindergarten today,” Zoe said.
“I accepted a new job. I’ll need to rush some drafts in the next few days, so time is tight.”
“Then go focus on your work. I’ll make the food.”
“It’s fine, I…”
Before she could finish, her phone rang.
Gale looked at the caller and wiped her hands dry as she walked to the balcony, picking up. “Hello, Mr. Hughes.”
“Ms. Molly, how are your drafts coming along?”
“I’m trying to rush them. Mr. Hughes, design can’t be rushed. The more you do, the less I’ll be able to give you a good design. Then, if the design isn’t nice and sales don’t go well, your profits will be lower as well, right?”
Arthur Hughes laughed. “I wasn’t calling to rush you, Ms. Molly. I just wanted to ask if you’re free tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? Do you need me for something, Mr. Hughes?”
“Come over to my office. There’s something amazing. You won’t expect this at all,”
Arthur said.
Gale turned around as she looked at the two children who had just finished washing
their hands.
“Mr. Hughes, you know that I have two children. Can’t you just tell me if there’s anything?” Gale said.
“Just come whenever you’re free tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for you. I have to tell you such good news to your face. As for the drafts, it’s fine even if they’re a week late!” Arthur said.
Gale wanted to say something, but Arthur continued, “It’s settled then. Let me be the first to offer you congratulations, Ms. Molly!”
The phone was hung up.
Gale frowned, not knowing what was going on with Arthur.
A month after she had given birth to her children, Gale started to look for work in the city.
