Chapter 31 Sudden news

Let me take you guys. It so happened that I also wanted to go somewhere. I… I want to talk to you about something, but I would like to say it in a pretty good place."

David managed to get his wife to quit. Fen turned, then looked at David with a curious face. "How overbearing? Aren't you going to go monitoring in the hinterlands? What if you're late, your boss will definitely be angry. It's better when you get home, and I also happen to have nothing to do after this. You can say that later. How about that? You agree, right?" Fen blinked her eyes as she glanced at her husband.

"No! Let me drive you this morning. I'll explain it to you later on the way. Or maybe it looks like you're the only one who's embarrassed I'm taking you to go. Is that true?"

David finally pulled out his final ploy.

"Why are you so prejudiced? Didn't I just want you to do your job well? Don't let it be because of me, you get angry with your boss instead. It makes me very uncomfortable at all."

David chose silence, he didn't move anymore after Fen said that. "Okay, then we're leaving now."

"Darling!" David again called his wife, until Fen immediately turned to him. "Later, let me pick you up. Wait in front of the supermarket downtown, I'll be there later. You know what I mean, right?"

"Yes." Fen smiled and nodded.

They left the house, while David stared at them until not a back was visible from there.

At the book publishing agency, Fen entered with her two children into a room. The place is in the middle, and it takes about a few minutes to get there.

"Hello Mrs. Fen, how are you. Nice to meet you." A woman walked up to Fen and shook her hand, smiling.

"Hi, thank you very much for inviting me here. Oh yes, as I said yesterday, my purpose in coming here is to show you my manuscript." a folder in out of his bag.

"Oh, then please sit down. We can chat a bit there. You don't mind, do you?" His gaze fixed on the two children in Fen's arms. "Then are they your children, madam?"

Fen smiled and nodded. "Yes, of course they are my children. They are quite fussy when they stay at home, so I brought them along.

Fen then saw a name tag on the woman's shirt in the front pocket of her chest. Chelsea, I think that's her name.

"Excuse me, is your name Chelsea? I saw it on your name tag there." Fen's index finger pointed at the woman's clothes.

"That's right, I'm the Chelsea editor at this agency. If you submit a script to me, I'll curate it right now. Of course, it will take a while. If I'm not busy, within one week, I'll let you know whether your manuscript is feasible published or not."

"Old curation."

Fen muttered to herself in her heart.

"How is madam?" Fen was surprised to hear the woman's voice. "Ah, yes, how was it." His focus, which had been diverted earlier, now returns to Chelsea, the editor, who offers to work with him.

"I mean, with a long curation time, you don't mind if you have to wait a long time?" Chelsea repeated her question again.

Fen immediately agreed, but for some reason her mind immediately went to her husband, who was going to pick her up.

The day is getting noon, the weather is also getting hotter which makes the atmosphere become hot. "Okay, then we'll excuse ourselves. Besides, my daughter will be cranky if she doesn't come home soon. Thank you for your time."

At 12.05.

Fen stood in front of a six-floor supermarket where the visitors were very busy. Fen has bought some snacks and ice cream in his hands.

Alvin seemed to have difficulty opening the ice cream package, Fen, who at that time noticed him, laughed in amusement and immediately helped him tear the package.

Tin. Tinnn.. Tinnn

About half an hour later, the sound of horns was deafening. Fen gasped and smiled, seeing a motorbike waiting for him in front of him.

David, he took off his helmet while waving at his wife.

"Hey, it's daddy. Let's follow him over there. We're going home now." Fen told her two children that Alvin was immediately excited to ride the wheeled vehicle at the front. What's more, Bertrand, who is already five months old, is now starting to talk and make a sound so that one or two words come out of his mouth.

"Let's go, we're leaving now." David immediately drove his motorbike when they had climbed the motorbike.

"I'm going to take you out for a bit. You know the other kids are waiting for us there."

David finally stopped in front of a roadside restaurant. Sure enough, Chica, Chico and Nana were already sitting there with various dishes served in front of them.

How amazing is David inviting us here? Even though yesterday, we just spent money on a trip. Did he just get an allowance from his boss?

Fen tried to guess. "Come on, let's go in now. Why are you standing there? Aren't you hungry?"

That made Fen feel strange, but… "of course I'm hungry. Especially children, even though they have eaten snacks, they also have to fill their stomachs with basic food."

"However, today is very strange. Did you just get a bonus from your boss? This is so wasteful. How much money do you use to eat at this restaurant? It's getting old, you know!"

David didn't answer, he just kept walking towards the direction he had ordered before picking up Fen.

How strange! What is this? Has David started to lose his hearing? Ah, that's impossible. Mas David is sensitive enough to listen to any sound.

At the table, everyone began to select their food with enthusiasm. No exception, Fen.

One or two mouthfuls into their mouths until all the contents of their respective plates are used up.

"Sister, actually, I can't extend my work contract anymore in the office where I work. My working period is over."
