C105 You Made Me Loose Face
Alicia did not go straight home after leaving the company.
She stopped at a shopping center and purchased three colorful kites. Looking at them made her smile. She carefully placed them in the car before finally heading home.
When she arrived at the Mooney residence and stepped out of the vehicle, she immediately put on an unhappy expression. “Dad!” she shouted as she entered the house.
“What?” her father replied from the staircase. “You made me loose face today.”
Mark Mooney had just come downstairs after finishing some work in his study. Seeing his daughter pouting, he couldn’t help but smile.
“You always say I make you lose face,” he said. “But somehow your face keeps getting bigger every year.”
Alicia’s cheeks instantly turned red. “Dad!” Her embarrassed reaction only made him laugh harder. Still smiling, he walked toward her and asked, “Now tell me, what exactly did I do this time?”
Alicia folded her arms. “First, you sent those giant bodyguards to my company.” “So?” “They attracted everyone’s attention.”
Mark nodded thoughtfully. “That sounds like their job.” “Dad!”
She almost stomped her foot. “And then you gave me those envelopes.” “What is wrong with envelopes?”
“Who even uses envelopes anymore?” Mark looked genuinely confused. “I do.” Alicia stared at him speechlessly.
What frustrated her most wasn’t the envelopes themselves. It was what happened afterward. Her face became even redder. “And then your bodyguard said you were looking forward to meeting my two big brothers.”
Mark immediately understood. “Oh.” Now he finally knew why she was embarrassed.
“They think I tell you everything,” she complained. “And don’t you?” Mark asked in amusement. Alicia immediately looked away. Her silence answered the question.
