âYou know, like those news stories on TV all the time? The ones about divorced women getting greedy for some young eye candy and ending up being robbed of money and virtue.â
âFrom now on, you are forbidden to watch TV!â Without waiting for his protest, Enna Clark took a breath and continued, âThe person who brought me home last night was a friend of a friend, and weâre not in the kind of relationship you think. I donât even know him, how could I possibly be with him?â
The person who brought her home last night was Uncle Harperâs âdriver friendâ , and she hadnât even gotten a good look at the guy, so how could they be together?
Besidesâ¦
âDarling, listen to me closely. Mummy is telling you, I have no plans to find you a dad, not now, and not in the future. Although I canât give you a dad, Iâll give you all the love I can. Youâll always be my dearest Bobby, so donât ever do anything like you did today again, okay? Youâre putting Mummy in a very awkward position, I wonât even know how to face Uncle Wyndham.â
âYouâre never going to get married?â
âNo, not getting married.â That hidden marriage with her gay husband doesnât count, right? After all, once they each got what they needed, they would part ways.
Tobias Clark took a deep breath, his little face tightened up with seriousness and after a long pause, he said slowly, âWoman, donât worry. Iâll grow up fast, and make money soon. Then Iâll treat you to all the best food and drinks!â
âPfffââ Enna was amused by his words, and pinched his cheek, blinking her eyes, mimicking his serious expression, âAlright, Iâll wait for you.â
Having resolved the biggest issue, she stood up in a good mood, and took little
Bobbyâs hand again, âLetâs go, weâre having barbecue tonight.â
They had only taken one step when they were yanked back. Her dear Bobby rolled his eyes and said decisively, âGo home!â
Enna was puzzled, âWhy? Donât you love barbecue? You were fussing about having it the day before yesterday.â
âThat was the day before yesterday.â Tobias Clark casually put one hand in his pocket, with an air of coolness, looking very much like someone, âThe day before yesterday, I thought you could reel in a wealthy husband. Now that you canât, of course weâre not eating.â
Enna was speechless but persisted, âItâs just one barbecue meal, Mummy can still afford it.â
âBut you donât have a man to support you, and you wonât have one until I grow up. So, before I grow up, we have to save money!â
Tobias Clark waved his little hand, putting an end to the discussion.
âGo home!â
Monday.
As soon as Enna Clark arrived at the office, before she even had the chance to put her bag down, Tiffany Clifford dropped a bomb on her, âEnna, weâve been moved to the evening shift.â
Enna frowned, hurriedly putting her bag down, âWhose idea was that? Fathead
Fish? Because I offended Mr. Smith?â
âI donât know.â The evening or afternoon shift didnât make any difference to her, but she knew for Enna, who had a child at home, the afternoon shift would be more convenient. She furrowed her brows, pondering, âI donât think it was Fathead Fishâs doing, you know his temper. If he knew you pushed that old lecher into a toilet, he would definitely chop us to death with a kitchen knife. Itâs probably the higher-upsâ decision.â
ââ¦The higher-ups?
âYou know, the new president.â Tiffany Clifford approached Enna conspiratorially, eager to gossip, âI heard from Sandy, the new president showed up at eight oâclock this morning. Thea Wood who was on the morning shift even ran into him.. According to her, our new president is super handsome, with long legs and a good-looking faceâ¦â
