119 WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS? (2/2)

”Thank you for the thought, that's all I need. I'll hand the phone back to CEO Tan alright.” Ann still calling them with their respective names. Alber Tan did not miss that and was not happy to hear what Ann call him.

Albert accepted the phone and bid Sophia goodbye so he can give his full attention he's daughter without interruption.

”Sweetie, when are you planning on addressing me correctly? I had been patiently waiting; I know it will take some time. But couldn't you start now so you can slowly get used to calling me, Dad?”

”I'm sorry! I try alright, but it will take time. Hope you understand.” Ann looks at her father with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

” By the way, once your health recuperates a little more, there's something I need to discuss with you. Is not in a rush it can wait, I do need to attend with some matter right now, so I'm going to go ahead and let you get back with Sophia.” Ann got up and prepares to leave.

Albert was going to say something, then changes his mind. ”Go ahead! I'll see you tonight after work then?” He's hoping to spend more time with her.

”I'm sorry! But I have an appointment tonight, dinner with someone very important,” Is all the information Ann provided him.

'Ah! Understand, First, business the rest comes after, that's the life of a CEO hahaha!” He's laughing, but Ann can see the sadness in his eyes.

Ann bid his goodbye without delay, If she stays a little while longer, her grandmother might arrive, and she would be held up for sure.

”I'll see tomorrow alright! gave Albert a fatherly hug then walks out the door without looking back.

' When the time is right, I will call you Father, but for now, I still can't make myself call you that. Someday, someday, when the time is right.' Ann was thinking to herself on the way to Tan Corporation.

Ann arrives in Tan Corporation with a glow on her face. She can't wait to share her new found happiness with her best friend/Assistant & Manager Lea.

Lea was standing by the edge of the glass window inside the CEO office, her eyes darting to a far distance. She was in deep thought that Lea didn't even realize that Ann had been watching her from her desk for a while not.

Ann shook her head and smiled secretly, ' Lea's is in love for sure. But it's not going well from the look of her spacing out. I need to talk to hear.' She thought.

”Earth to Lea! Anybody home? Hello!!!” Ann tried to get Lea's attention.
