Chapter 172 Buying Gifts ( Part One)
Chapter 172 Buying Gifts ( Part One)
There were all kinds of toys and entertainment facilities on the 6th floor. It was filled with children's laughter.
"Boss, what are you planning to buy?" Virgil followed closely behind William.
William looked around the shops. "I don't know."
They were silent for a moment. "Then why don't you just buy the whole floor?" Virgil chuckled.
"That's a good idea." William rubbed his chin. "Go find their manager. I'll arrange the negotiation."
Virgil didn't expect that his boss would take his joke seriously. He stumbled and almost fell down. He then quickly pulled William's sleeve. "Boss, you don't have to do this."
"Why not?" William furrowed his brows. "As long as I pay them, they wouldn't mind selling it, right? Otherwise, I would buy this shopping mall. I'll bring my son and daughter here so they could enjoy themselves. They can do whatever they want."
"Boss..." Virgil grabbed William's arm tightly. "Are you heartbroken? Is that why you created a son and a daughter in your imagination? If so... That's called hypochondriasis..."
"I think you have hypochondriasis!" William frowned. "I have two children. A boy and a girl. Do you understand? So cut that crap about hypochondriasis!"
"Well..." Virgil scratched his head. "Mary Lu... Mary..."
"You should address her as Mrs. Lan. She's my wife."
A cold sweat broke out on Virgil's forehead. He placed his hand over his forehead. 'The Boss is so shameless. He's divorced Mary, yet he still calls her his wife.' Virgil then recalled that Mary had two
children. "Yes, Mrs. Lan... Are you sure those are your children?"
"Of course!" William glared at him. When he thought of the little face that resembled him a lot, his expression softened. "They are my children. Do you remember the little girl who visited our company once? That little girl. She came here all alone."
"The little girl who was looking for Victor?"
"Yes." William nodded proudly. "She's my daughter."
"Oh my God!" Virgil's jaw dropped. "For real? "
"Of course it's true." William assured him. If he had known earlier, he would've asked the little girl's surname and followed her to see her elder brother. Then he would have recognized the little boy with one look. How could he waste so much time? How could he have divorced Mary?
William felt terrible just thinking about it! He frowned.
"Boss, why are your children so grown up?"
At Virgil's question, the frown on William's face deepened. He didn't say anything. He just knew that his children had grown up before he had met them...
"Are the two children a pigeon pair?" Seeing his facial expression, Virgil asked William hurriedly.
"Yes, they are." William came to his senses and smiled.
"Boss, you're so awesome!" Virgil gave him a thumbs up. "Pigeon pair! It's just like winning the lottery!"
The smile on William's face widened because of Virgil's flattery.
"Good day, gentlemen. What can I do for you?" While the two men were talking, a saleslady came up to them.
"Well..." Virgil placed his finger on his chin. "We're looking for gifts for children."
"How old are they?"
"Boss, how old are they?" Hearing that, William raised his eyebrow and thought for a while. "About three years old, less than four years old."
"Boys or girls?"
"Both," Virgil replied. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
"You must have a happy family, sir." The saleslady smiled. "You have a son and a daughter."
The corners of William's mouth twitched. He never knew that life could feel this wonderful.
"Sir, how about this plane model?" The saleslady held it up. "It's controlled via smart remote. This plane model is a very popular toy."
"Yes, not bad." William nodded.
"These toy guns are also good."
"Okay." William pointed at a pile of toys. "Except for these, pack the rest for me, please."
"Boss," Virgil said as his eyes widened. "Isn't this too many toys?"
"It's not a lot." William shook his head. He didn't know what they liked, so he decided to buy one of each kind. There was a chance that they'd like at least one of the toys. "By the way." William turned his head to Virgil. "What gift will you choose for your nephew? I'll pay for it after you've decided."
"Thank you, boss! You're the best boss in the world!" With an excited look on his face, Virgil called the attention of the saleslady. "Please pack that toy for me. Yes, and that one..."
The saleslady looked at the big spender and became more enthusiastic. "Do you need gifts for little girls? Look at this Barbie doll and this toy piano. The piano has professional piano sound effects...
There's also Lego..."
"Pack these toys that you recommended for me. " William pointed towards the toys.
"Yes, sir." The saleslady smiled. "Please tell us the mailing address. Our delivery service will send them to you for free within three days."
"Three days?" William pondered for a while. "No need. Thanks."
"Well..." Both Virgil and the saleswoman were stunned.
William took out his cell phone and made a call. He then took Virgil to the children's clothes area.
"Boss, are you going to buy clothes for them as well?"
"Yes."
"You don't need to buy new clothes, do you?" "Why not?" "Well... Do you know their sizes?"
"No, I don't."
"That's the thing." Virgil scratched his head. "Besides, think about it. When you buy the clothes, you should come here with your wife and two kids. A family of four. How wonderful! A lot of people will envy you!"
A family of four? Suddenly, these became the most beautiful words that William had ever heard. 'A family of four.'
"What you said makes sense." William nodded approvingly and almost couldn't close his mouth because his smile was so wide.
"Mr. Lan."
While the two men were talking, a bodyguard in a black suit approached them.
"Yes. As I just said, move all the toys I bought and bring them to the hospital," William commanded.
"Yes, Mr. Lan."
"The hospital?" Virgil blinked in surprise. "Who's sick?"
"My son was injured." William sighed.
"Is he okay now?"
"Yes, he's doing fine." It was then that William perked his head up. "I'm leaving now."
"What? Oh, alright." Virgil waved. "Goodbye, boss."
"Bye." William waved back and left.
In the corridor of the hospital, the sunlight shone in and bounced off the walls.
"Mommy, what are these uncles doing?" Lying in her mother's arms, Elissa looked at the bodyguards coming in and out and asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Mary shook her head. She watched the men in black suits move the toys one by one inside the ward next to Alick's. "Maybe there's another child moving in."
"Oh my God! It's a piano!" Suddenly, Elissa raised her cute little fingers and pointed at a pink piano. "I want to play it, too!" she screamed.
"What else do you want to play?" Mary felt amused. "Didn't I buy you one when we were in the US? You played with it for two days and then forgot about it. Why do you want another one?"
"Humph!" Elissa pouted. "But I want to play with the pink one! The one Mommy bought was white."
Was there really any difference? Rubbing her eyebrows, Mary sighed. This little girl... "Elissa, do you want a pink piano?" Barry came in and happened to overhear what Elissa said.
"Daddy Barry!" Elissa jumped out from Mary's arms and threw herself into Barry's. "I like pink."
Barry picked her up. "How about I take you to the mall tomorrow and buy you a pink piano?"
