Chapter 17: Chapter 17 What’s the Story with This Woman?
The next day.
Hope Williams got up early to prepare breakfast for the two kids, and Luke and Willow had already dressed themselves and gone to wash up.
Willow was particularly excited about her first day at school, and Luke was also curious about kindergarten. After breakfast, she took the two kids to the kindergarten.
Hope had been somewhat worried, as she had seen other children unable to leave their mothers on their first day at the kindergarten, crying and shouting.
But when they got to the kindergarten, Hope realized her worries were in vain—both kids were very excited and even took the initiative to greet the other children and teachers. As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by people.
“Whose little prince and princess are these, so handsome and beautiful—I would love to kidnap them home.”
“Yes, yes, seeing these two kids makes me want to have babies.”
“Aiya, too adorable, and then I look at my little rascals at home. Indeed, the grass is always greener on the other side.”
“What to do? I really want to kidnap them home.”
Milkily, Willow said, “Hello, sisters, my name is Willow Williams, you can call me Willow, but you can’t kidnap me home because I belong to Mommy.”
“I’m Luke Williams. Sisters can call me Luke.”
“Oh my, these two cuties, I can’t take it, help, too adorable.”
“Look, that must be the kids’ mommy, right? Mommy is so pretty, no wonder her children are beautiful, too.”
After Hope finished talking with the teacher, she came over to see her two treasures being lavished with praise by the parents.
Hope’s mouth curved into a smile; her treasures were naturally sociable and she wondered who they had inherited that from.
“Alright, Luke and Willow, go on inside with your teacher.”@@novelbin@@
Led by the teacher, Luke and Willow entered the kindergarten, looking back at Hope every few steps. Hope waved at them, watching as the children hopped and skipped inside. The children weren’t crying, but Hope felt like she was about to.
Her babies had really grown up.
After dropping off the kids, Hope went to the hospital to start work. Today was her official first day, so she first went to the director’s office.
Upon arriving at the office door, she could hear a roar coming from inside, “What on earth happened here? How could such a low-level mistake occur?”
“Knock knock.” Hope tentatively knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Hope arched an eyebrow, thinking she might be facing the music on her very first day. She braced herself and walked in; the atmosphere in the office was tense.
Director Woods stood before his desk with several doctors in front of him, their heads bowed. It seemed they were being scolded for some mistakes.
Director Woods’s cheeks were red with anger, and he paused when he saw the person entering.
Hope was also taken aback by the director’s expression.
After a moment, Director Woods’s stern, angry face immediately transformed with a surge of intense excitement, “Cyn… Hope, you’ve finally come. Have a seat quickly.”
Hope nodded slightly, her exquisite face wearing an appropriate smile, “Thank you, Director, but please continue with your work. Don’t mind me.”
“You all leave for now. Make absolutely sure not to make such low-level mistakes again, hear me?”
“Director, we remember.”
Director Woods came over to pour tea for Hope, who was a bit flattered, “There’s no need, Director. I can do it myself.”
The doctors, who had just been scolded severely, walked toward the door while stealthily glancing at Hope, wondering who this woman was.
To make this harsh and angry director change his demeanour so drastically, even personally pouring her tea?
“Hope, I’m so glad you could come; I was afraid you might not want to.”
Director Woods was so moved that he was on the verge of tears.
Hope couldn’t help but smile at his reaction, “Do you really see me as someone who doesn’t keep her word?”
The Director waved his hand, laughing, “I never thought so. It’s just that the competition is so fierce; I was afraid someone might poach you if you came a day late.”
“Don’t worry, I promised you, and I will not go back on my word.”
“Good, good.” The Director laughed heartily, “There’s a meeting later. Let’s go together. It will be a good chance for me to introduce you to the other doctors.”
“Okay, but, Director, I prefer not to use the identity of ‘Cynthia’ at the hospital. Just treat me the same as you do everyone else.”
Hope was rather uncomfortable with the reputation Cynthia carried and the Director’s attitude towards her.
Of course, Director Woods was aware of the pros and cons.
The meeting was at nine, and the large conference room was already filling up with doctors arriving one after another.
What do you think?
