"Miss Meilin Yee Zhao, you're here for the interview right?" Meilin nodded as she took a seat. She just got off the train and headed straight to the house she purchased online before she made her way to a company in order to fill the vacant spot that was advertised on the papers.
She dressed in her best, something she hadn't done in years. She had money to make her kids happy but she still wanted more.
"Let me have your CV" her interviewer flipped through the documents and she was just waiting for the next thing he was going to say.
He diverted his gaze from the paper and raised a brow "So...you worked in the most influential company of all time? The one being led by..."
"Yes" she quickly said. He cleared his throat as different thoughts popped up in his head but he restrained from asking her questions. Empire Inc wasn't so famous so why did she decided to work there? She claimed to have resigned from Yang enterprise but that would've been the last thing someone would done.
"We'll send you an email sometime tomorrow. I'll just take a copy of your documents to our board of directors. Thanks for coming" He gave her a handshake and she bowed before leaving.
She hailed a cab and crossed the road to meet up with the parked vehicle. She was dropped off at a day care centre where she kept her kids because she couldn't take them along for the interview.
She pushed open the door and the melodious nursery rhyme played. She spotted her babies at a pink colored corner and she tiptoed to say hi.
"I'm back" she cooed as she kissed them on their cheeks. She picked up Li na and Nuzzled her nose with hers "mummy missed you so much" she began to babble and croon to her baby. She didn't understand herself but it was fine as long as she made her angel laugh. Li hua was sleeping as usual. she was the all nighter of the house.
Li hua's hobby was keeping her mother awake and also sucking her finger. She also learnt how to grab things and knock small objects down. Meilin took pictures she pasted on the wall and had a videos about them. She wanted to relive those memories. Another part of her life that made her smile and will make her do the same forever as long as she had her twins.
"Uhm excuse me" Meilin turned back to look at who called her and she saw a pregnant woman behind.
"How may I help you"
"I need to clean and close up the daycare" She said.
"I'm so sorry" She just realised that she over stayed her welcome. She put her kids in their trolley and was about to leave when she saw the woman struggling with the cleaning.
"Can I help" Meilin offered assistance but the woman quickly declined. "I can't let a parent clean for me" she shook her head no.
"It's okay. I'm also a parent and I'm sure you'll be one too" the woman's heart warmed up alot but she felt bad about letting Meilin do most of the work.
"At least let me arrange things" Meilin nodded as she swept the floor and the lady put things in order.
It took them thirty minutes before the place was looking nice again. The lady didn't know how she'd be able to thank her. Meilin didn't need that, she waved her gratitude off countless times.
"What's your name?"
"Da xia Wu. Single" she added.
"Men problems?" Meilin asked pushing the trolley as the woman walked beside her.
"I love my husband and I still do but He's dead."
"Oh I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."
"Don't worry about it. You're bringing your babies tomorrow right?"
Meilin shrugged "It depends."
The two women waved at each other goodbye before going their separate ways.
Meanwhile, Ai Jin was restless. She hadn't received her confirmation call. Why was the man she hired taking so long to kill meilin? She paced back and forth as she waited for just that simple call.
Her phone rang out and she rushed to answer it "Hello"
"The house is empty"
"What?" It didn't make sense. How? Where did bao go? Why did he let her leave?
She phoned bao but his number didn't go through. She threw her phone against the wall and rampaged. When will Meilin leave the surface of the earth? What was protecting her? one way or another, she just had to keep the two apart. Even if she had to do the dirty work herself.
Haru opened the door to the room and he was angered by Ai Jin's presence. How did she get in his room? Where did she find the key?
"Get out" He ordered without looking at her. He took off his shirt then laid on the bed as he scrolled through his phone for notifications.
Ai jin went out and minutes later she came back then dropped off his dinner for him on his bedside table. As usual, he didn't appreciate her for her hard work in preparing his meals. She wasn't the best cook but she had to learn because she believed the way to win him over was to win his stomach first.
She left his room and waited for the drugs she put in his tea to take effect on his body. She was sure he'd lose control over himself and the chances of her getting pregnant would be high.
She didn't care if she had to wait for hours, it was all to keep Meilin away and she couldn't give up until she becomes her husband's one and only Queen.
Haru's vision suddenly became blur and he had a slight headache. He laid down on his bed and tried to sleep but for some reason his eyes didn't shut.
Ai jin stepped in and slowly slid out of her gown. She twirled to meet up with her husband who was laying confused on a weird comfort zone. She nibbled on his neck and whispered her hexed words "Do what ever you want to me Haru. Let's go wild tonight."
She didn't fancy child bearing but that was her move to keep meilin and haru apart. She just had to carry his child, how hard could it be?
