Chapter 62: Compensation

Cynthia followed May through the direction she had left from till she caught up with her.

" May ? " Cynthia called to stop May who was walking fast.

May stopped walking and turned to look at her mother. " What now ? "

" Why did you have to run away ? " Cynthia wanted to know.

" Mom , Didn't you hear whatever he said ? " May squealed.

" I did , But that won't stop you two from getting engaged. " Cynthia talked.

" What are you going to do now ? " May asked.

Cynthia looked at her daughter solemnly and walked to her. She gave her a hug and said.

" Mr Wong already made a promise to me. Let's leave everything in his hands , I am sure he will convince Calcel. "

May hearing this hugged her mother tighter. She didn't know whatever David had talked with Cynthia but she trusted her mother.

The previous day , When May said she was quiting , That day she parked her stuff and drove them home. Luckily that day she found her mother around and Cynthia was surprised to see her daughter home at that time.

" My love , What brings you here this time ? " Cynthia asked before she noticed the wet eyes of her daughter. May ignored her question and sat down on her sofa.

" Dear , What's wrong ? " Cynthia asked worry evidence on her face.

" Mom , I quited. " May said.

" What do you mean by quiting ? " Cynthia asked.

" Mom , I have sacrificed everything for Calcel and the company. But I can't do it anymore. " May cried.

" Why , Relax and explain to me. " Cynthia begged.

" Mom , You know I have been loving Calcel ever since childhood. And I went to work for Mr Wong because of Calcel. " May said still crying out.

" I know dear. First tell me , What has made you to quit all of sudden yet you've endured a lot for the past years. " Cynthia asked.

" Mom, You Know I confessed to him three weeks ago but he kept on ignoring me. Then when I tried to talk to him today he told me that he would never like me. " May cried and dried her tears to look at her mother.

" Tell me now Mother , What would you do if you were me ? " May asked Cynthia.

" Dear , You are my one and only daughter. And I can never allow anything bad to happen to you. I promised your father that I would give you everything that you want and if it's really Calcel that you want , I will make him yours. " Cynthia said.

" But Mom , How ? " May yelled.

" Don't worry dear. Mr Wong is my Friend enough . Good enough he also knows that you like Calcel . " Cynthia walked over to May and sat on the sofa besides her.

" With the help of Mr Wong , Soon Calcel will be yours. " Cynthia said as she caressed her daughter's hair.

" And we have to use this chance before Calcel falls in love with any other woman. " Cynthia swore.

After talking to May , Cynthia went to her room and got her phone. That's when she made a call to David asking to talk to him. After the call , She went to May and asked her to write a resignation letter which she took with her to meet David.

At the Wong's Mansion , David was there when Cynthia came escorted by Ms Jenny .

David smiled on seeing Cynthia. " Ms Johnson , Long time no see. " He said.

" True . " Cynthia said not smiling and gave herself a seat on the sofa.

Ms Jenny left and came back with coffee which she gave them and left them to talk.

" So what brings you here all of sudden ? " David asked.

Cynthia removed the resignation letter from her bag and put it on the table. " I brought this . " She said.

David picked it from the table and read through it. " Why is May resigning ? " David asked.

" Your son broke her heart. " Cynthia said freely.

" My son . What do you mean ? " David pretended as if he hadn't understood what it meant.

" Mr Wong , Have you forgotten what you promised me ? " Cynthia promised.

" Of course , I promised you that I would give you everything you want as long as you keep the secret. " David said.

" That's right sir. I have kept your family secrets for some good years. And I am ready to keep them as long as you give me what I want. " Cynthia said.

" That's right. That time I wanted to give you money but you refused. You also refused to have shares of the company. What do want now ? " David asked.

" The thing is simple. " Cynthia said nonchalantly . Looking at David straightly.

" Calcel is single , And so is May. And you know very well that May loves Calcel . So I want them to get married. " Cynthia declared.

David couldn't believe his ears. " Are you meaning it ? " He asked to confirm.

" Yes. I want that and I won't ask for anything more. " Cynthia assured.

" What if Calcel is not interested in marriage right now ? " David asked.

" What now ? " Cynthia asked. " Do you pity him ? " Cynthia asked.

" Not that. But I can't force him into this. " David argued.

On hearing this , Cynthia got up from the sofa. " I don't care if your son wants it or not. All I want is to see my daughter getting married to the man she loves. Other wise I will be left with no choice apart telling the whole world your family secrets. " Cynthia declared and left.

David chuckled not believing this. He got the resignation letter and looked through it again. And that was the reason why he was so harsh with Calcel that night.

Present ...

Cynthia was still hugging May. After that hug , May stopped crying and the two left.

Calcel from there drove back to his office. He knew that the only thing to save him from this engagement then was to tell his father who he really liked. Never know David would symphasize with him.

He sat down on his office chair and started remembering everything that had happened between him and May
