She took a glance at her son. Was the saying ‘people will be affected by the person around them’ true? Since she always stayed with him, so that was the reason that she had become like him?
“I have used these names to call you guys for five years so I couldn’t just change it for now. However, I will try my best to get used to your new names as soon as possible.” She spoke to her daughter solemnly The little girl took the glass of milk and took a few sips of it to wash the food in her mouth down to her stomach, “Then what will you call me from now on? Amanda? Or Amy?” She blinked and commented thoughtfully, “It seems that both these names are not as nice as the previous name.”
“Eat faster, you will find it nice after hearing more times of it. There are still people who were called by nicknames, people also get used to the name after hearing more of it.”
The little girl nearly spurted out the milk that was in her mouth. Then, her eyes were opened incredulously and stared at Loredana, “How can these parents be so irresponsible and give such names to their children?”
“No one will not love their children. The old people are thinking in old ways and they feel that it will be easier for them to call their children if their children’s names are simple.” Loredana explained to her daughter patiently as she wanted to let her daughter know that none of the parents in this world didn’t love their children and the only difference was of it would be the way of them expressing their love.
After having breakfast, Loredana brought her two children to leave there. Since they didn’t have any luggage, they did not need to pack anything. When she came there, she only took a jacket and put it on casually. Since she had to bring the two children with her, she also took a handbag with money and credit cards inside it because no matter where they went they could not go without money. The last thing she brought was the document that Jolene left for her.
She brought her two children to go down by the lift and they went to the counter to check out the room. The receptionist couldn’t help and praised them when seeing her two children, “Your children are so beautiful.”
Loredana took the refunded deposit and smiled at the receptionist. She held her children’s hand and they walked out of the hotel. They stood by the roadside and wanted to take a cab. The good thing was that location was not that crowded at the time and many cabs were coming here and going there. They didn’t wait for a long time and got into a cab successfully without having any problems.
“Where do you want to go?” The driver took a glimpse back at them.
Loredana let her children sit down and then only she answered the driver, “JK Group.”
The driver started the car and drove…
Maybe it was because that they were heading to a strange city, the two kids struggled to lie on the window and looked out of it. Loredana gently pulled her son, “Samuel, give some space to your sister.” “Didn’t you just say that you have changed our names? Why are you still calling me Samuel?” Samuel sat down in the inner position and let his sister sit in the window seat.
Loredana pressed her forehead lightly. She really forgot it. It was really difficult to change one’s habit, “Alright, I will remember to call you Andrew next time.”
“I think you can just call me Andy, it sounds more intimate.” It was rare to see him seeking her attention in front of her.
Loredana held her son’s head and kissed his forehead, “Okay, I’ll take your suggestion and call you Andy.”
The cab driver who was driving took a glance at them with the rear-view mirror, “This is the first time for you all to come here, right?” Loredana said, “Yes.”
“You are very lucky, your two children are so beautiful. Your son doesn’t look very alike as you so he should look like his father, right?”
Samuel was growing up and looked more and more similar to Cormac. Sometimes, the way he frowned looked exactly the same as Cormac. She reached out her hand and stroked her son’s face lightly. She seemed to see another person’s face when looking at her son’s face.
There was a faint melancholy raised from the bottom of her heart.
“Here it is.”
Just as Loredana was thinking other things, the driver stopped the cab in front of a magnificent conjoined building and spoke to her, “You all have reached the JK Group.”
Loredana got her mind back and took money from her purse and gave it to the cab driver. Then, she opened the car door and brought her two children to get out of the cab.
When they stood on the roadside, they could clearly see the building. It was said to be a conjoined building because there was a glass bridge in the middle of the two buildings and it connected them.
It seemed like there was a big billboard located in the air and it was placed between the roofs of the two buildings with the few words JK Group written on it magnificently.
She took a deep breath and held her two children’s hands to walk into the building. The two kids were looking here and there. They were observing there subconsciously because it was an unfamiliar place for them.
After they walked past the lobby, Loredana held her children’s hands and walked towards the counter, the receptionist greeted them enthusiastically, “May I have your name?”
“I’m looking for a man who named Oscar Adams.”
The receptionist was stunned for a moment as she didn’t expect that she would call Oscar Adams by his name. She took another glance at Loredana instinctively and asked, “Do you have an appointment?” Loredana shook her head, “No.”
“Oh, then I’m sorry that I can’t let you in.” The receptionist smiled at her systematically.
“May I ask you a question? Is a person who named Oscar Adams staying here?” Loredana asked again.
She really wanted to find out whether the person with name Oscar Adams existed.
When Jolene passed away, Cormac was about seven or eight years old and she was just given birth at that time. Thus, she could predict that the letter might even be older than her.
Time had passed so long. Was the person still alive? Or had he left there?
There were so many possibilities of change so she wanted to know the truth.
The receptionist was observing her, “Who are you?”
She came to the company with two children and just called Oscar by his name. What was the woman’s identity?
“You just need to tell us if this person exists here. Why are you asking so many questions?” Samuel spoke impatiently. It was obvious that the receptionist was not answering their question and asking some unrelated thing.
Loredana pulled her son, “Don’t be rude.”
“Daddy had told us that we can’t bully others but we can’t be bullied either. We are just asking if there is a person named Oscar here. However, she asked who you are. What did she mean? It was obvious that she was curious about your identity and purposely didn’t want to answer you. Let’s go and don’t ask her. As long as this person is not dead, we don’t have to worry that we can’t find him.” Samuel held Loredana’s hand. It was rare that Simona also agreed with his brother’s words. Both of them were holding her hand to walk towards the door to get out of the building, “Mummy let’s go.”
The receptionist was a bit confused. She really didn’t expect to see such a young kid that was able to say those words. It was obvious that they had met lots of people and were not afraid of people at all. “Eh, what if I make a phone call and ask?” The receptionist called out to them.
Samuel took a glance at her. He pondered for a moment and then he said, “Okay, you can call.”
He stopped and stood there without walking back.
The call from the front counter was connected to the line of the secretary desk in the CEO’s office, “There’s a woman here looking for Mr. Adams.”
“Does she have an appointment?”
“No.”
“If she doesn’t have an appointment, do you think you still need to call here to ask about it?”
“No.” The receptionist’s eyes fell on Loredana when she was talking to the secretary, “It was a very pretty woman with two children and she was calling Mr. Adams by his name…”
“A woman with children?” It seemed that the secretary would like to gossip too. What kind of people who came to the company with children would be?
The secretary said, “You go and ask how to address her.”
The receptionist looked at Loredana and asked, “May I have your name?”
Just as Loredana opened her mouth and wanted to say her name, she thought that if Oscar really existed, he must be the same generation as Jolene. Thus, he might not know her so she just said, “Jolene.” The receptionist repeated her words to the secretary. The secretary said okay and then the phone call was ended. The receptionist asked Loredana to wait for a while.
“Do you guys want to sit down for a while?” The receptionist tried to say.
“No need.” Samuel refused indifferently.
Loredana frowned and looked at her son, “Sam…” Just as she opened her mouth, she nearly called him Samuel. Oh, it was really hard for her to change that habit. Thus, she decided not to say. The CEO’s secretary was knocking on the door of Oscar’s office.
A thick male voice was coming out. The secretary opened the door. The office was wide and bright, the office chair and the chatting area in front of it were all made of Laos rosewood and it was specially made in large scale production. The tone color of the office was quite dark and the several ancient paintings were particularly conspicuous at the back part of the office table. All the famous paintings were painted by famous artists. The slightly yellowish paper made it not look like a fake. As the leader of the JK Group, he should be able to afford to buy a few precious things. The whole set of rosewood furniture already cost one million.
It seemed like the man was about fifty years old. However, he should be a man who would not admit himself becoming old. He was wearing a blue shirt that was full of flowers and a pair of nine-quarter pants which showed his ankle and was the pants that were popular for young people now. Not only that, he was wearing a pair of lace-up white leather shoes. He was dressing in that way at that age. It was that not only his heart did not admit his age but also his body did not admit it.
