Chapter 10 — I Have A Boss Who Works Overtime

He lowered his head to look at me, smiling slightly reassuringly. Then, he raised the microphone, using an extremely calm voice, clearly declared:

“First of all, I want to make one thing clear: Trinh Tu Vu and I do not have any blood relationship.”

“Monday,”

He stopped for a moment, his eyes as sharp as a knife shot straight towards Co Minh Chau and Lam Phi Phi, whose faces were pale.

“It's not like she's stalking me.”

“It's me... chasing her.”

Co Canh Tham's official statement was like a silent bomb, making the whole hall stir. Everyone was stunned by his domineering and direct statement. He held my hand tightly, his eyes never left my face from beginning to end, that public appreciation was worth more than a thousand words.

"It's my personal matter, I know how to handle it myself, you don't have to worry about it."

He glanced at Co Minh Chau's pale face one last time, his cold voice filled with warnings that he could not resist. At this time, Co Minh Thanh also stepped on stage. He took the microphone, a smile of both satisfaction and pride on his face.

“Canh Tham is very right.”

“Love is the attraction between two free souls that should not be bound by any status.”

He walked next to us and patted me and Co Canh Tham on the shoulders.

“I absolutely support you two getting together.”

"Furthermore, I want to tell everyone: Tu Vu is one of the most excellent and honest girls I have ever met. She is independent, resilient and talented. Having a daughter-in-law like that is my honor."

My stepfather's firm words of support made my eyes immediately become wet. Right after that, my mother - To Uyen - also walked onto the stage smiling. She didn't say much, just walked forward, grabbed my hand with one hand, and with the other hand held Co Canh Tham's hand, placing them on top of each other. The smile on her face was full of satisfaction and blessing. The full support of your family is the most powerful weapon to destroy all malicious rumors. The carefully calculated plot of Co Minh Chau and Lam Phi Phi, in that moment, became a completely failed farce. Under everyone's disdain and ridicule, they lost all face and quietly withdrew from the party. A storm, finally ending in the most complete and refreshing way. After the party ended, our family of four walked in the garden behind the hotel. The night breeze is gentle, the air is warm and harmonious.

"That's it," Co Minh Thanh laughed, breaking the silence. “In the future, the address will probably have to be changed, right?”

His voice was full of good-natured teasing. My face immediately became hot and I bowed my head in shame. Co Canh Tham was not shy at all, he looked at me, his eyes full of undisguised affection.

“Dad, mom,”

He smiled like a successful cat.

“You two are about to hold the baby.”

“Co Canh Tham!”

I blushed, raised my hand and lightly punched his chest. He took the opportunity to grab my hand and gently placed a kiss on the back of my hand. Under the warm light in the garden, mother and stepfather looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with happiness and hope for the future. A few months later, thanks to the resounding success of the international project and subsequent excellent performances, my position in the company became increasingly solid, becoming became the youngest and most trusted female director of the design department. Co Canh Tham and I no longer hide it, from a secret love affair to becoming the most admired couple in the entire company. One beautiful sunny afternoon, we walked together by the river. Co Canh Tham suddenly recalled the scene of their first meeting.

"To be honest, why did you think I was your father at that time?"

I glared at him.

“Who told you that when you opened the door, your face was as cold as a funeral, as if I owed you hundreds of millions!”

“So now do you still think I look like your father?”

He tilted his head, deliberately teasing. I looked at his handsome face that was close at hand, stood on tiptoe, and placed a kiss on his lips.

“No.”

I replied smiling.

“You are my child's father.”

From a silly word "daddy", To a title "little brother" that is both funny and half-laughing, Finally the unique identity - "lover". We went in a big circle, finally finding the most suitable position for each other, and the best version of ourselves. The sun is very beautiful, the wind is very gentle. We hugged each other tightly. The future – just the beginning. RUN OUT OF
