Chapter 561: The Money Has Been Transferred to The Account
After dinner, Yonina Collins went back on her own.
Zess cleaned up the table and washed the dishes while Wendy and Michael were playing with the two kids.
It turned half-past nine very soon, and the two kids were ready to go to bed.
Wendy took them to wash their faces and brush their teeth.
Leah finished washing her face and brushing her teeth and came out. She suddenly thought of something and ran towards Michael. She held Michael’s big hand with her tiny hands and looked at him with her blinking eyes," Daddy, can you please sing a song for me?"
"Sing a song? No problem." Michael answered yes right away.
Last night he sang a song to help Wendy fall asleep and was still very proud of it.
Leah still remembered that Michael talked about it this morning.
After all, she had never heard her dad sing.
At that time, Wendy was just coming out of the bathroom, and she saw Michael taking Leah to her room.
Leah said happily," Mommy, Daddy is going to sing a song for me."
"Umm?" Wendy was shocked when she heard what Leah said, "Well, how about telling her a story instead?"
"Don’t I sing well?" Michael said," I think that she will fall asleep even faster if I sing for her. Last night, you fell asleep before I finished singing one song."
Wendy chuckled, she wanted to tell the truth, but she was afraid that she would hurt Michael’s fragile dignity.
After all, he was so proud of it.
After considering for a moment, Wendy still did not tell the truth. It would be fine for his daughter to listen to him singing.
At least, when Leah told him the truth, Michael would not sing songs to her anymore.
Then her ears would be liberated.
Therefore, Wendy said," Then you can sing a song."
Wendy also gave Michael a warm and gentle smile.
Seeing Wendy’s smile, Michael regarded it as an acknowledgement and encouragement from Wendy, so he held Leah’s tiny hand and let her to her room very joyfully.
The door was closed, and Wendy silently walked toward the door.
Jake saw that Wendy was listening secretly, so he followed her.
"Mommy, what are you doing?" Jake asked in a low voice.
Probably because she was doing something secretly, Wendy was startled by Jake’s voice.
She made a hand gesture to ask Jake to be quiet.
Therefore, both of them were listening to what was going on inside the room at the door.
In the room. Leah was lying on the bed happily and asked sweetly," Daddy, I want to hear The Joyous Treasures."
"What is that?" Michael asked, confused," Daddy does not know it."
"What about Little Girl Picking Up Mushroom?" Leah proposed another one.
Seeing that Michael was a little awkward, Leah knew that he did not know that either, so she proposed another one," Snail and Oriole, you must know this one, Daddy."
Michael chuckled and scratched his head embarrassingly," I do not know this one either."
"Then what do you know, Daddy?" Leah no longer picked songs," You can sing whatever you know, Daddy."
"Then what about singing the song that I sang to Mommy last night?" Michael coughed slightly with confidence before he sang.
When Leah nodded, Michael started to sing," Baby sleep, gentle sleep..."
Even before Michael finished one line, Leah immediately sat up from her bed.
"Daddy, what are you singing? It is so terrible." Leah opened wide her eyes. It seemed that she could not believe what she heard was a song.
"Ummm..." Michael was really dumbfounded this time. He asked unbelievingly," Is it very terrible?"
Leah nodded very honestly.
...
"What are you singing? I cannot figure it out." Leah said.
"Hush, Little Baby, maybe you have never heard it, so you cannot figure it out."
Michael thought that this was really strange. < Didn’t Wendy fall asleep very soon yesterday?
If it was very terrible, then...> "We should sing Hush Little Baby like this." Leah looked like a little teacher," Daddy, let me teach you how to sing Hush Little Baby."
Then Leah started to sing.
"Baby sleep, gentle sleep. Life is long, and love is deep..." Leah’s voice was very nice and beautiful.
Hearing what Leah sang, Michael frowned and asked," Is there any difference between what you sang and what I sang?"
Although Michael did think that Leah sang quite beautifully, he did not feel that he was off tune.
It was only that Leah’s voice was sweet and made one feel very comfortable.
"No difference?" Leah almost could not believe what she just heard," Daddy, what you sang was totally off tune. What I sang was on the tune."
"Really?" Michael scratched his head. He did not feel any difference.
"Daddy, maybe you are tone-deaf," Leah thought of this possibility and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. " Our teacher said that some people are born tone-deaf, they are not able to detect if someone sings off-tune, and they can never sing on the tune either. My brother is like this."
"Well..," Michael did not know whether he should laugh or cry.
Jake was also a little resigned when he heard this.
He raised up his head slightly and looked at Wendy," I am tone-deaf because I inherited it from him."
This was the first time he knew that Michael sang in the same way as he did.
This was why Jake did not like to participate in the singing and dancing events at school.
It seemed that he could not sing a song well no matter how hard he tried to learn.
Wendy caressed Jake’s little head and comforted him smilingly," That is okay. You will sing better with practice; It is not a big deal if a boy cannot sing well."
Leah had already started to teach Michael how to sing at this time. She taught him word by word.
But Leah gave up after teaching for a while.
Leah sighed," Daddy, let me sing a song for you, so you do not have to sing for me."
Wendy and Jake no longer listened and went away from the door.
Jake went back to sleep in his own room.
And Wendy stayed for a while in the living room.
However, as time passed by, Michael still did not come out from Leah’s room.
Wendy couldn’t help walking to Leah’s room and opened the door.
She saw that Michael and Leah were both asleep on the bed.
How interesting!
Maybe Michael fell asleep to Leah’s song?
Then Leah also fell asleep?
Wendy did not know if she should laugh or cry when she saw this scene.
Anyway, Michael was already very tired today. She would let him sleep well.
Wendy left the room quietly, closed the door, and went back to sleep alone.
The next day, Michael woke up from Leah’s bed and felt a little confused.
When he recalled what happened last night, his confidence in singing was crushed into pieces.
Seeing that Leah was not awake, he got up alone.
Coming back to his own room, he fell asleep again with his arms around Wendy’s waist.
When Wendy woke up and found out that Michael was hugging her, she was startled.
"Weren’t you in Leah’s room?" Wendy asked Michael, who just opened his eyes.
...
"I came here after I woke up," Michael hugged Wendy tightly and asked," Do I sing really terribly?"
"Well...hahaha", Wendy laughed dryly and did not answer Michael’s question explicitly.
"Then why did you pretend that it was good?" Michael, of course, knew why, and he felt a little touched, even though it was something small.
"It will be nice if you do not sing much in front of me in the future," Wendy got up from Michael’s arms and smiled," Let’s get up."
Michael sighed resignedly.
It seemed that he should stop singing in the future.
...
7 pm at Christian’s office.
He sat on the chair and received a phone call from Clement.
"The money has been transferred for a while. You can have a look," said Clement.
Hearing what he said, Christian immediately dialed an internal number, asking his assistant to check.
After receiving the response from his assistant, Christian happily said on the phone."
The money has been transferred to the account."
Clement could feel Christian’s excitement even over the phone. Still, he could not help but sigh," Christian, I cannot help reminding you once again that this money cannot stand investigation. Once they start to investigate, we will both get into trouble."
"I know," Christian’s excitement was again distinguished by Clement’s word.
He, of course, knew, but what else could he do?
He could only bet now.
He bet that Mr. Zavier would not investigate the source of the money.
"Alright, I don’t want to say anything redundant. Contact me if anything," Clement hanged up the phone after saying this.
After receiving the money, Christian called the finance department at once through the internal line. He sounded cold, but still, there was unavoidable joy in his voice," Transfer the money that has just arrived in the account of the new project. Inform me at once when it is transferred."
"Yes, Mr.Lucas." The Head of the finance department answered respectfully.
Then, Christian called Mr. Zavier immediately.
The phone was picked up very soon.
"Mr. Zavier, the money was transferred just now, but it might take some time for it to arrive at the account. Please check after some time," said Christian.
"Really?" Mr. Zaiver sounded surprised," Thanks to God that the money was finally transferred. I was criticized again today at the meeting. I told them that I would resign if your money was not transferred today. Thus they gave me this chance."
Of course, Mr. Zavier said these particularly to Christian on purpose.
"Thank you, Mr. Zavier. I will keep in mind your help," said Christian immediately," Let’s do this. I will treat you to dinner tomorrow evening. Please come so that I can express my gratitude to you."
"I will see if I am available tomorrow. You know, the money has just arrived, so there are so many things that I have to deal with. I will let you know if I have time, okay?"
After all, Mr. Zavier did not want to have dinner together with Christian since he was on Michael’s side now.
Hearing what Mr. Zavier said, Christian was a little disappointed, but he did not think much," That is true. I also need to hurry up and be busy next. We can definitely make a success of this project."
"Come on, now everyone knows that I am helping you all the time and sees us as partners from the same party. If you cannot do well in this project, I will also get into trouble," said Mr. Zavier.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down," Christian vowed.
Christian has initially been a little suspicious about Mr. Zavier. Still, now his doubt reduced a little when he heard what Mr. Zavier said.
However, whether he was suspicious or not, Christian had no choice.
