Chapter Twenty-Seven: She Knows a Woman's Heart
I can't use two things, I have already broken all my energy in half, half to Ouyang Ze, and the other half to my current job, so I really don't have extra energy to take care of Chris Tao and take care of her who is pregnant.
Pregnant women are lucky. They have the most precious gift that God has given them, they have the loveliest baby in the world, and at this time, they should be happy, but without the care of their husbands, their happiness is also delayed...
When I mentioned to Ouyang Ze that I wanted to hire Cristao full-time, he didn't ask anything, but readily agreed, and it seemed that we had the same idea and made this decision together.
On the same day, he also specially called Christao into the study to talk in detail for a long time, although he didn't know what he said, but when Christao came out, although there were tears on her face and undripped tears in the corners of her eyes, there was still a grateful smile on the corner of her mouth.
This is great news for her, and it is also a huge surprise for her children. But the surprise lasted so short that the distress would still be revealed after the joy had faded.
After a few days, Cristao was still unhappy, and there was little smile on her face. But she is busier than before, and likes to meddle in some complicated work more.
"Christao, what's wrong with you? It's said that you don't have to be so busy, just have a good rest. ”
When I opened the door and saw her busy figure again, I finally couldn't help it, and I still had to advise her again.
Although housekeeping is her position, and work is her job, but now is an extraordinary time, her body is very fragile, where can she withstand such a toss. If only she just wiped the table, it would have been fine, but she climbed high and low to clean up the little corners of the room.
Whenever I saw her bending over, when I saw the beads of sweat stained by the dust on her forehead, there was always a sense of guilt lingering in my heart.
"It's okay, I can still do this little thing."
She just turned her head and smiled at me and went back to her cleanup.
That smile looked so reluctant, more like it was hiding something. I could feel that behind her smile there must be sadness and bitterness.
"Is something wrong?"
When she heard this, she suddenly stopped what she was doing, and the hand holding the rag hung in the air for a long time. Although I couldn't see her expression at this time, her trembling body told her troubles.
People always want to be busy, because only in this way will they not be cranky and let those troublesome things be left behind. Christao is the same, but she doesn't know that this trouble will not go away, it will be like a spring, the more you suppress it, the greater the strength of resistance, and the more serious the consequences will be...
"I'm almost two months pregnant, and I wanted William to accompany me to the hospital for a check-up in a few days, but..."
Speaking of this, her voice was a little choked, and she couldn't say anything after that. She slowly stepped down from the table, her hands cleaning the dust from the feather duster.
Her expression at the moment did not have the concealment just now, there was no false smile, there was only the real melancholy.
"He said he didn't have time and let me go by myself..."
When she said this, the whole person looked extremely disappointed. Although there was no moisture from tears on her face, looking at her sad expression was even more pitiful.
Pregnancy testing is the first priority for pregnant women, and all mothers want to know about their children as soon as possible. And now, Cristao is going to walk into the hospital alone, facing those cold instruments alone without the company of her lover, how can I bear it?
"I'll go with you!"
I snatched the feather duster from her hand and threw it aside, and when the fine flesh on my fingertips touched her palm, I could vaguely feel the cocoon that had been rubbed out.
Although she is beautiful, her hands are no longer slender under these heavy housework, and her hands are not like the hands of a girl in her twenties, but more like the hands of an old woman in her forties who have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
How can such hands welcome the arrival of a baby? What she needs is rest, what she needs is recuperation.
"I don't want to trouble you. Forget it, let's go when he's free, and it's not too late to wait until two months later. ”
Although she was comforting me, the gloom in her tone still lingered in her heart.
"It's okay, I can ask Tang Rong for leave, she takes care of me very much, and she will definitely give me leave."
Without allowing Christao to say anything more, I quickly shifted the conversation to what would make her happy, to her future baby.
As for the "fake" I promised, if only Tang Rong would really approve it for me... It's a pity that she is such a strong woman and will not have a soft-hearted day at all.
"Leave? If you want to go on vacation, you have to find the right time, it's the peak sales season, how can I approve your leave? Besides, there are so many things to learn now, how can you still have time to make up for what you haven't learned..."
Originally, it was a matter of one sentence, and one sentence could give me a day off, but Tang Rong used this as an excuse to start telling me the truth.
From the present of the company, to the future of not knowing if there is any, from the department I am in, to the cleaner aunt of the company. She spent half an hour telling me these inconsequential things, just to make me realize one thing:
"Now is the critical moment and want to take a leave of absence? Don't think about it! ”
"My friend is pregnant, she needs to take a pregnancy test, but her husband can't accompany her because of something, I have to ask for leave to accompany her!"
Showdowns are sometimes the most effective way to win. When Tang Rong heard me say this, she was startled at first, and the pen in her hand did not continue to scratch on the paper. But soon she spoke to me unhurriedly.
"You asked her to come to the company that day, and I accompanied her."
When I heard her say this, I felt like I was hallucinating. Because I really couldn't have imagined that she would use this decision to prevaricate me.
"Huh?"
"Do you want me to say anything twice? When she went to take a pregnancy test, she asked her to come to the company one day, and I accompanied her! ”
Tang Rong repeated word by word, for fear that I would miss a word.
I didn't know what to say for a while, so I just stood there and watched her continue to be busy with a blank face, the pen in her hand continuing to swipe across the paper...
