The President’s Five Children

When Bonnie woke up, it was already midday. Her head hurt so much as if it was going to explode any minute. “Mommy, you are up.” Erika rushed to her from the hallway. Her chubby face registered concerns. Andrew and Lukas walked in with a glass of lukewarm water and some pills, “Here.” And Joanna grabbed a candy. “Mommy can have this candy when you eat the bitter pills.”

Bonnie quickly swallowed the pills and ate the candy. The bitterness was driven away.

“Why aren’t you at school?”

“Daddy went to the Grant Residence early in the morning, and no one was sending us to school, so we took a leave,” explained Joanna.

“Why does he suddenly go to the Grand Residence?” Bonnie was perplexed.

Anyway, Bonnie felt less nervous. But only for one minute, she remembered one thing! She wasn’t at work at 11 a. m. on the second day of her employment. Dammit!

Bonnie fastened to call William to explain the situation.

As soon as the phone was on, she heard his gentle voice, “Sober?”

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t think the cocktail would get me. I will be in the office this afternoon.” Bonnie said apologetically.

“I’ve already taken leave for you. You can have a rest at home.”

William was so sweet!

As she was thinking of buying a lunch for William, Sebastian’s low, hoarse voice wafted over from the door, “Sober?”
