His soul

Julian, who had just returned from the hospital, had already received an unpleasant welcome from his two daughters who protested against him being punished by his grandfather.

"This is unfair, Daddy. How can my money be cut? How can I go shopping? What if I want to go to the salon? What if I'm bored? I can't just stay home because I don't have money, Daddy." Selena repeated her words for the second time to her father.

Rose, who didn't want to lose, immediately laid her head on her father's thigh who was already sitting on his bed. "This week my school will have an event in Paris, Daddy. I can't not go, can I? I don't want to be the subject of gossip from my friends, Daddy."

Julian was silent, he did not respond to the whining of his two daughters. Right now his thoughts were still on his beloved daughter, Georgina. The beautiful daughter with Sandra, his first love and the only woman he loves.

Knowing that Sandra had died shocked Julian, he was wracked with immense guilt for having neglected her for so many years out of fear of his father. If at that time Julian had the slightest bit of courage to stand up to his father he might be living happily with Sandra and their children by now.

Without realizing it, Julian's tears ran down his pale face.

"Daddy, why are you crying? Where does it hurt, Daddy?" Selena screamed in panic, although she was angry when she found out her father had an illegitimate child from another woman, Selena still had love for her father.

Vanessa, who was preparing food for her husband, immediately left her job and went straight to the bed where Julian was. "Honey, what are you doing?"

"Daddy answered Daddy, why are you crying?" asked Rose, panicked.

"But Dad..."

"Your Daddy's right, Rose. Daddy just got out of the hospital, we'd better leave Daddy so we can rest," Vanessa said quietly, cutting her youngest daughter gently.

Rose nodded slowly, she then got up from the bed followed by Selena who then walked away from the room. After tidying up the blanket, Vanessa's husband followed her two daughters out of the room, leaving Julian who had closed his eyes.

Julian opened his eyes slowly and took out the smartphone that had been in his trouser pocket, with teary eyes Julian searched for the number of Patrick, his best friend and the person who had been assigned to send money to Sandra in London. Julian was forced to ask Patrick to send Sandra a monthly payment because he was worried that his father would find out what he was doing, because if Yohanes Sanders found out he was still in touch with Sandra, Sandra and her child would be in danger. That's why Julian asked his best friend to replace him by sending money to his wife and children for safekeeping.

"Please sign here, madam," Gina said quietly to a middle-aged woman while delivering a package.

The woman accepted Gina's pen with a provocative gesture. "Where?" he asked again.

Gina smiled. "Over here madam, beside your name."

"No, don't call me madam. I'm still young, just call me miss."

"Okay Miss."

"Is that so, by the way are you a new employee huh? I just saw you today," the woman asked again with eyes that continued to stare at Gina from top to bottom, her gaze sharp like a hungry she-wolf.

Gina nodded slowly while accepting the hard pen her report from the woman in response to the question given to her.

"Oh so you really are a new employee, so my guess is right, right? No wonder your face is foreign," said the woman again with joy, her eyes sparkling as she spoke.

Gina smiled from behind the mask she was wearing. "It seems that you often use the delivery service from my office, Miss."

"Yes, almost every three weeks. That's why I memorize almost all the couriers in your office, hmm how about we relax for a while? I have a delicious dessert to enjoy together this afternoon, young man," the woman replied softly while touching her slightly chest. popping out of his tight clothes.

Gina almost vomited seeing what the woman in front of her was doing. "Sorry Miss, I still have a lot of work to do. I have to finish everything before one o'clock in the afternoon."

"Akhh you, don't sell too many young men. I know you are the same as other couriers, don't worry I will be responsible."

Gina immediately took a step back trying to avoid the woman's touch, as a normal woman of course Gina was disgusted to see a woman offering herself.

"Sorry Miss, I have to go. Excuse me."

The middle-aged woman looked disappointed to be rejected by a courier, this time being rejected by a man. A courier too, a lowly employee. One of the reasons for using a delivery service through the office where Gina works is because she can vent her desire with the couriers who come to deliver goods to her, but today she had to experience disappointment for the first time. With emotion, the woman contacted the expedition office where Gina worked, she complained about the goods being imperfect and badmouthing the attitude of the courier who was called disrespectful.

Gina, who was back on her motorbike, didn't know that her name was being talked about at the office, some senior couriers who didn't like her also gave Gina a bad assessment so that the bad news finally reached Sara's ears who happened to be going down the stairs. to the basement.

"It's impossible for Gabriel to act like that, he just doesn't dare look at my face for more than two minutes," Sara said to herself as she overheard the couriers' conversation.
