Before going to sleep, I received a private message from Josie.
["Sis, are you feeling any better from your cold? Can you come to Pok Fu Lam tomorrow? The teacher assigned a handwritten newspaper."]
Turns out she was worried about her homework.
Liang Weining teased: ["Your daddy said he's giving me three days off."]
Meaning, she couldn't guarantee anything.
As expected, the tone of the young boy was sullen, replying with just an "Oh".
There was no response for a long while.
Not wanting to tease him any further, Liang Weining was about to type when a sentence popped up in the chat: ["Tomorrow is Daddy's birthday, it's a pity you can't come, sis."]
The boss's birthday?
She widened her eyes slightly.
She smacked her forehead in annoyance.
As the chief secretary, she had forgotten her own boss's birthday.
She got up and opened her laptop to check her schedule.
Blank?
The previous secretary had never noted down any information related to Mr. Chen's birthday.
