I watched Dad as he went to sleep and then I left myself. I should not be saying the word dad now but I still I am used to it, it is not worth it to try to change his title. I do not know why but for some reason, I felt bad about myself. I was a burden on dad's shoulders my whole life.
I brushed this idea off as I stepped out of the car and went up to my room, now I know for sure that Shawn's uncle is somehow involved with my father, also, Gerald clearly has an ulterior motive.
" Jessy, is Gerald still awake?" I asked.
" Yes, miss," Jessy called me 'miss' since we were outside of my room and her words might be heard. Gerald is a fan of hierarchy which suits his status well.
" Did you finish your visit?" Gerald questioned as he saw me entering his office. He was typing on his laptop and immersed in his work.
" Yes thankfully, Should I come back later?"
" No, I probably know what you want to talk about, I do not want to procrastinate this any longer," he stated as he stood up to focus on our conversation.
" Shawn told me that he has signed a contract with you in which he would work in his company and also in yours for half a year,"
" Yeah, that is true. You did a great job accomplishing your mission, Lily."
" I guess we shall sign our contract as well," I initiated.
" Sure thing, here you go," he said while giving me the document I previously signed.
" You signed it?" I asked surprised.
" Yeah,"
" I am free to go then,"
" I would like it better if you kept living with us, Lily. You are a great kid and I am happy to see my son falling in love with you,"
"Shawn will find a much better woman than me, also, I wish to not inconvenience you anymore,"
"You won't, I will make sure bodyguards won't follow you around from now on. You can move freely," he added giving me an envelope that contained the amount of money mentioned in the contract in cash, a total of 20 thousand dollars.
" That is a lot, Mr.."
" Say no more dear, now go rest in your room," he said ending our conversation as if he was saying that is my final statement and you will be staying here with us.
I decided to go back to my room, I do not honestly know what I was expecting but it definitely was not this. I will not ask him about what I have discovered now until I understand all the details and secure my life. I opened my laptop and searched the name Indigo Finland.
All I found about him is that he was a fine man who cared about his reputation the most, everyone loved him and he had a very big company of chemicals. His wife died before him and he had kids. My eyes came upon something so interesting though.
