36 Vol 1 : Ch 36 - My kids? Well let just say that theyre my kids. (1/2)
After hearing it, Rei don't know if she heard them right but then again the one who have feelings of her ask again.
”Ms Rei, are these kids yours?”
”My Kids? Well let just say that they're my kids”
”Ms. Rei, if you know, all of us are here because Manager Xia called us and inform that next wednesday will be your last day here and the following day will be your farewell party provided by the company.”
”Yeah. you heard it right and I'm bringing the kids starting today until my last day so don't be disturb from them because I assure you that the kids are not naughty and Manager Xia already approved for this. Kids say Good Morning to them and all of them are my co workers”
”Good Morning Mister and Miss”
”Good Morning Kids”
After that, Rei let the kids seat near at her working desk while she prepare her works for today. Her co workers just looking at her and avoid talking about her because it's almost working hours and to avoid from getting a suspension letter or notice from Manager Xia.
All of them working seriously again and Rei work seriously as usual while taking a quick glance to her nieces and nephews every hour pass. One hour before lunch, Rei take a glance and realize that all of them are starting to yawn.
”You can sleep if you want.”
”It's alright.” they didn't said Aunt because the kids notice her Aunt co workers are listening to them.
”Do you feel hungry?” All of the kids nodded ”well, wait for a moment” Rei get her backpack and take a snack then give it to them with water.
”Here”
”Thanks”
Ren whisper to her ”Aunt, so that's the reason why did you bring that backpack” then replied to him in whisper ”Of course Ren, knowing all of you are still young and still a kid, so all of you like to eat”
”Kids all of you must eat in silent and don't disturb them alright” they nodded ”throw your trash here” Rei give the trash bag to Ken and get back to work while her co workers are looking to her everytime Rei take a glance or talking to the kids.
”Hey, hey is Ms Rei the mother of them?”
”I don't know but maybe she is, because all of them have a resemblance of Ms Rei”
Lunch time arrive and the building bell alarm signaling all of them that it's already 12 noon. Rei stand from her chair and looking to the kids, all of them are sleeping quietly. Ellyn head is on Ken shoulder while Lynel head is on Ren shoulder. Both Ken and Ren are side by side letting their young cousin (although it's only one year apart) sleep in between them and the boys sleeping by leaning their heads on the wall. By looking at them, Rei wondering if it's a good idea to bring them here, well she will ask them if it's alright to bring them again and then starting waking them up since they're not heavy sleeper but before that her co workers stopping her.
”Oh, they're asleep?”
”Well, well, you have a good genes Ms Rei, how come you produce two handsome boys and two pretty girls at your age and I think you're 4 years younger than me and it's prove that you're really s-l-u-t.....”
Rei cut her off ”thanks for the compliment Ms. Meng but I think it's not good idea to being a nosy one. Just because I'm always tolerating you and to those who have always gossiping about me it doesn't mean that I will just let it be. I'm not tolerating it because I just don't want to waste my time with this baseless rumors about me.” Rei said it loud in order for all of them to hear it.
”T...that” all of them are surprise to hear it from her because it's her first time to retaliate to them.
”Just mind your own business and be a professional one so that I will respect you” Rei already know the kids are already waking up the moment she speak ”Kids, let's eat our lunch now, if you excuse us Ms Meng”
Rei and kids are now going to the cafeteria, meanhwile the kids are looking to them like they're going to punch and slap their faces.
Ken and Ellyn think at the same time 'just because they envy of Aunt, they will just bully Aunt instead proving what they got' while both Ren and Lynel are also thinking the same thing 'how come they have a guts to bully Aunt Rei? Tsk, if I'm big enough I will protect Aunt from them well thank goodness Aunt are warning them.”
After leaving, Ms Meng getting more upset to her ”that s-l-u-t, how dare she provoke me?”
”It's alright Ms Meng, Ms Rei is just like that because she will be getting kicked out soon, remember her days already counted.”
”That's right but it's a petty for those kids to have a mother like Ms Rei”
”Ha, ha, right.”
”Just because Ms Rei didn't explain it to you, all of you just create your own story and assume in order to destroy her and satisfy your envy to her”
