The next day, Luna woke up exceptionally early. After freshening up, Hilda helped Luna wash up and brush her teeth under the nannies' guidance. Hilda was anxious since this was her first time looking after her child. She was afraid that she wasn't good enough. Fortunately, Luna was extremely obedient, and so everything progressed swiftly. Hilda was aware that there were three to four nannies with different ethnicities looking after Luna. They conversed with her in different languages ever since she was a child, just so that Luna would be fluent in languages from different countries. Soon, the clean and obedient Luna followed Hilda to head down for breakfast. Breakfast was already served in the dining room by the time they arrived. There were steamed egg custard, bread, millet porridge, milk, and much more. Everything had been carefully prepared, and the colors were vibrant. In fact, the spread looked especially tantalizing. "Hilda, come over for breakfast." Nathan was putting out
Hilda's eyes were shining brightly at that point. I already have some personal savings to begin with, coupled with different streams of investments and the stock dividends collected, it is a handsome sum of money! If I were to sum up my assets, I'm already a billionaire! There are so many zeros that I don't even know where to look. Connie's expression turned steely, and she shot daggers at Nathan. The two of them exchanged menacing glares. On the other hand, Hilda seemed oblivious to that because she was distracted by money. Since money played a role now, she approved of Nathan more than before, and so she uttered "Thank you." Nathan answered while flashing her a smile, "Don't worry about it, that's the least I could do." He paused. "By the way, this is the list of the expenditures for certain projects for the past few years. Apart from the usual expenditures in the companies, you have a periodic donation for the orphanage, and there's also some monthly expenses for the pandas
After lunch, Nathan stayed back for a short while. He chatted with Hilda about the story of Garfield getting stolen, and the one about Kater eating sh*t. He chatted with her until about 3:00PM before finally leaving. Just when he was about to leave, Nathan suddenly said to Hilda, "Hilda, I will be away for a period. I'll count on you to look after Luna for the time being." Hilda asked him automatically, "Where are you going?" She didn't even realize that she sounded slightly panicked and disappointed. Nathan smiled at her. "I have some matters to attend to, and so I have to leave Taadi City for a while. Luna would be bored alone at home, and so l'd like to put her under your care, if you don't mind." He's leaving? Hilda answered, "Luna is my child too. I'll look after her well, naturally." Nathan nodded in response, but his eyes were twinkling mischievously. I knew that even after losing her memories, my pumpkin would always have me buried deep in her heart. She is fated to b
After recalling, she realized that everything matched what Nathan had told her. This was one of his men. "Miss Hilda," The man said in a low yet mysterious voice. "I'm in the bushes opposite your house. Nathan asked me to bring you something." Nathan brought something for me? Feeling slightly jubilant, Hilda quickly put on a coat on top of her pajamas before she walked outside. After she got out of the door, she saw the bushes right opposite her front gate. Sure enough, a dark figure stood there, a man with sunglasses was holding a box in his hands. After seeing her, he walked to her. "This is a present from our boss." Hilda wanted to ask him whether he could watch where he was going with the dark sunglasses at this late hour. However, after sending the gift to her, he left immediately, not wanting to say anything extra to her. Hence, she was left with the box in her hands, having no way to return it even if she wanted to. After standing there blankly for a moment, she opened
Unexpectedly, the other party said distastefully, "Bourne is directly sponsored and managed by Winnifred Jones, the Young Lady of the Jones Family. We will provide you the best, so I believe you definitely would like to work with Miss Jones. Otherwise, we know your name, address, and phone number. If you have any needs, we can also drop by and provide you with our services." Even though he sounded respectful, his words revealed a thinly veiled threat that sent chills down one's spine. They knew about her background, and they had a strong background themselves as well. So if I don't work with them, I'll be offending the Jones Family, and they would 'pay me a visit'. Is that what they meant? Even though the address was a fake one filled by Sonnia, this doesn't mean that I'm not angry about it. Hilda snorted coldly and retorted with a local phrase she had just learned.. "F*ck off!" After she hung up, she was still quite furious about it. Seems like I have to go to the office soon.
At this moment, there weren't many customers in the cafe. They could only hear the cats' lazy purrs. Kater looked like he was walking in a market, looking around for the cats it liked. Once it spotted one, it would scoot closer to lick it affectionately. Suddenly, Hilda put down her mug and said. "Since we can't find them, let's fire everyone." Fire everyone? All at once, everyone was bewildered. This would involve a number of people! Were they all really going to be laid off? Then, Hilda continued, "Our product sales aren't doing well lately and the marketing department is responsible for many matters. Since that manager has access to the customer information, he is also a suspect. Lay him off and lay the other few people off as well. The company will compensate for the breach of contract." Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. Wasn't it a little too harsh to lay off so many people at once? However, since Hilda said so, she must have had her reasons. Then, Hilda and the rest w
Recently, the studio did not have many orders and those they had were made by their acquaintances. They were Hilda's colleagues, the Michel Family, the Cannon's, Rex and Kater and the like. Truth was, their customer base that was built over the years were gone. Right away, Hilda stopped the business operations and decided to complete the orders at hand before anything else. As for the remaining stock in the store that was not sold, Hilda would bring it home for her pets. She also had two dozen toys sent over for Kater as compensation for the sin of castrating it. Now, the store was about to be renovated. The designer had come over to discuss the details with Sonnia as Hilda listened while holding her two puppies. Suddenly, the phone rang, it was still the new phone with an unfamiliar number. There were not many unknown callers for this phone. As soon as the call was connected, Billy's voice came over the line. "Hello, Miss Lucile. My name is Billy Winterford. May I know if you
In the afternoon, Linux came to the store to pick Hilda up after work. "How was work today, Hilda?" Realizing Linux had arrived, Hilda shut down her computer. "Linux, you're here! It was alright. I'm still getting myself familiar with the operations in the past years." Meanwhile, Kater who was still under anesthetics was carried away by Linux, while Hilda followed behind with the two puppies and they left the store together. They got into Linux' car that was parked downstairs and went home. When they were back in the neighborhood, Hilda unconsciously glanced at Nathan's Villa. Although the lights were on, it does not seem like Nathan had returned. If he had, he would have called her. On second thought, why should he do that? Back home, Linux' Villa was warmly lit. Connie had been home for a while and as soon as Hilda walked in, she saw her cuddling Luna as they watched TV. They were watching the hit variety show 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' Luna loved this show and her bigges
