1 Boarding

Block A, the employee boarding- Leona would go around and helped her seniors. She was really popular among the employees and they liked her very much.

One of the weekend, she was walking at the second floor. She saw a little boy was wearing nice white shirt and a bow-tie. He was about two years old, was crying sadly with some hiccups.

"Are you lost? Shhh…" She wiped his cheeks with her thumbs gently. The boy looked at her and then hugged her tightly by her neck. She carried him in her embraced and comforted him near the stairs.

"There you are!" a middle-aged woman was coming from the first floor climbing the stairs in panic. She took the boy harshly without looking at Leona's face. When she noticed it was Leona, she felt so embarrass.

"I am so sorry Leona. I thought it was someone else."

It was Mrs. Tong who is staying at block B- next to the block A-employee boarding.

"It's fine. I saw him was crying here." Leona patted the boy's back.

"I better get going. See you," Mrs. Tong carried the boy in her arm and climbed down the stairs.

Everybody aware that the boarding prohibited children to be in the boarding. Leona felt sympathy with Mrs. Tong and the kid probably her son or her grandchild. She just could help her by pretending not seeing what had happened. From far she could see them both hurried up entering the quarters.
