Chapter 39: Resignation
Resignation letter! Theresa left the company? On what basis? She left because of him?
He went through the resignation letter reading every line several times. No wonder she insisted that he go through the plan and see if there are places she should correct.
Junxie Li sighed. Why does she detest him so much? He had never done anything to destroy her or tarnish her image.
If he had found her that day after the incident of that night, perhaps she wouldn't have gone through all she experienced.
He wants to mend the broken pieces of her life but she doesn't want to give him a chance. Theresa is a rare asset to the company that he wouldn't have wanted her to go from him and the company at large. Feeling unhappy, Junxie Li closed the office without going through the plan again.
He would be heading to Li's residence where his kids are. Those kids were the reason for the cross between him and Theresa.
If they never existed, he probably wouldn't have known the woman that night now works directly with him.
He got in and his Chauffeur drove him to Li's residence. All through the way there, the Chauffeur kept glancing at his boss from the rear view mirror and saw him looking depressed.
What might have been making the President so unhappy?. He looks arrogant and seems not to welcome people judging from afar, but in the real sense, he is a great person to be with.
His assistant Pascal Lee often interacts with him like friends. He is friendly and kind to be with, especially those that are close to him.
"President Li, is everything alright?" The chauffeur asked when he arrived at the parking lot of Li's residence. He had to ask as being concerned about his boss.
Junxie Li smiled faintly. He massaged the bridge between his temple. He looked at his chauffeur and asked:
"How do you feel when someone you once tried to help misunderstood you and hates you to the extent of seeing you as her sworn enemy.
Or how will you feel when you weren't even given the chance to express yourself? Have you ever found yourself in such an awkward position?" Junxie Li inquired.
The Chauffeur looked away. Such a difficult condition to find oneself. He shook his head in the negative. "It's a difficult condition, and it's definitely not a pleasant one," he answered.
He grinned weakly and stepped out not saying anything again. He told the Chauffeur to close for the day and took the car key away from him.
He stepped into the house and didn't see anyone. He was going to ask when one of the servants came to inform him that his parents and brother were on the football field.
"Where are my sons?" He asked further. Those kids were the only part of Theresa he will never let go.
"The young masters are playing football with their uncle sir and your parents are the spectators" the servant informed.
Junxie Li turned and went out. He wants to see his kids playing football. They love sports as well? He and Julia had always dreamed of becoming an athlete.
He hadn't gone far when he saw the little fellow running around on the field. Julia was putting on a short and his kids were putting on identical sportswear as well.
His parents were cheering them as the two young fellows kept running after Julia who had every advantage over them. Sometimes he compromises and lets them take the ball from him and they will dribble him as well.
It was a game of two against one. Junxie Li stood and smiled. Such adorable boys. How he wished Theresa would see her kids feeling so happy and free while she was brooding over the fact that they are with him.
He walked closer and pulled a seat to join the two spectators. His parents saw him and smiled before turning their eyes to watch the three players on the field.
Soon Julia scored a goal and announced that he had gotten two scores already. Junxie Li felt he had cheated on his kids and pulled off his suit and shoes.
He rolled his long sleeve up and went into the field. His boys then saw him and ran to him screaming"daddy uncle has cheated"
"Liars. I scored the goals without cheating"Julia retorted back. He can't imagine that these little brats would say he cheated before their father.
"I'm here now. I will play for you"Junxie Li calmed them down. He got into the field to start playing for the boys. Tim volunteered to be the referee and he took the whistle from his grandfather.
He blew it and the football started between the two brothers. Julia was not as good as Junxie Li in football.
The latter was playing with his bare foot except for the socks he wore. Soon, Lee was applauding him " daddy has scored a goal!" He was jumping and the referee didn't remember he was to blow the whistle. Rather he joined his brother and applauded their father and then ran into the field to hold his thighs. A sight that got their grandparents laughing.
"You guys are a bunch of bullies. You have bullied me both father and sons"Julia confessed and sat on the ground. He was sweating already and jealous when he saw his brother lift his boys on his shoulders and call them champions.
He loved the boys from the moment he saw them. He knew they were his family. He longed to have lovely kids like them in the future who will cheer him up in times like this.
Junxie Li took his boys and went to sit with his parents. Tim and Lee stepped down from their daddy's arms and went to their grandparents.
"My little cuties"Their Grandma pulled them into a hug. She kissed their temple and said she needed to let the servants serve them some juice.
That way, she held their hands and took them in. Soon after, the men all filed into the house after them.
"What I want now in this house are girls, I want daughters from you both" Carol Li stated. She has two sons already and has two grandsons too.
The family lacks a female. That's what she longed for now and hoped her son's would get married soon.
Though she's yet to know the woman who gave birth to the adorable grandsons she now has, she would be happy if her eldest son marries Yolanda Zu as soon as possible.
That's why he had been invited to Li's residence. They needed to discuss his relationship with her. Yolanda's parents had laid complaints about Junxie Li and they had promised to address the issue.
It wasn't long and Julia announced that he was leaving. He stood up and went away. He asked that the kids come with him but they said they want to be with their dad.
Junxie Li asked that his parents tell him why he was invited over to the residence? He really had a lot of things to do at the time.
Cheng Li, Junxie Li's father, cleared his throat and took a sip of coffee. He glanced at his son and sighed audibly.
"What is happening with your relationship with Yolanda Zu?" Cheng Li asked. He wants to believe that the accusations leveled against his son were all false.00000
