Chapter 852 – #97. Lanna (13)
“Where is the end of the nightmare… Ha ha”
Is a nightmare just a nightmare?
Nightmare is neither a drama nor a movie.
Just a nightmare
It just went on and on indefinitely, showing off unpleasant things.
There was no such thing as a happy ending in the first place.
It just replays the horrible memories over and over again.
So a nightmare can never be a good dream.
She was overlooking that.
“CEO, you look very unwell.”
“Uh… I know this country is a must for business, but it doesn’t seem like a country that really suits me. Nothing fits.”
“What should I do if I can’t even eat properly?”
“Ha… The food is fine. There are hamburgers here too.”
Even if the country changed, I was able to pack a meal if I ate a brand hamburger with a similar basic quality.
You can also buy water from a convenience store.
One by one, she is holding on to her while solving the things that are bothering her.
I never thought of stopping her business trip halfway through.
“I’m afraid you’ll get hurt if you do this.”
“We’re almost there. We just have to hold on a little longer. And isn’t it just me who is having a hard time? Isn’t it easy for everyone to adapt?”
There is no way that even the employees can endure such an unfamiliar environment well.
Her final goal is not simply a ‘point’.
Her goal, she hopes, is to establish an ‘overseas office’ in this country.
In order to establish overseas branches, the number of branches in this country must steadily increase.
Only then can we establish an overseas branch in this country.
Since she has a big goal, she made the move herself, and even her now uncooperative public servants won’t be able to just ignore her by then.
This is because, compared to simply starting a store, establishing an overseas branch brings great benefits to the country.
‘Because I’m hiring people from that country.’
She continued her travels, trying to overcome her nightmares.
It took much longer than planned, but she couldn’t leave easily as things were progressing slowly.
Because she felt that she couldn’t be here without her.
It’s not that I don’t trust her staff, but…
‘No matter how much, I’d say it’s worse than what I’m doing myself.’
I don’t know why there are many times when I get frustrated even when I have to do things like this when they are smart friends who are in better universities than themselves.
The staff get confused because she doesn’t know what to do if she cleans up the house herself and doesn’t let her work.
But the good thing is that if you let it go, it does its job well.
-Are you feeling better? What should I do if I can’t take my nutritional supplements? Because I bring it
“It’s okay. You just have to hold out for a few more days, well.”
She did not tell her husband what had happened on her business trip.
According to her, he was the one who would follow her to this place and try to take care of her.
‘Even if it’s obvious, it’s too obvious.’
I love him because he’s this kind of person, but there are times when I’m ashamed of taking care of him too much.
Besides, isn’t she doing a good job here?
After performing well, she wanted to brag to her husband.
‘How long will she be protected by her husband? I’m a woman too.’
She has pride as a woman.
It feels good to be protected by a man because it feels like being treated, but there were a lot of things I was ashamed to tell others about.
Since she is also a woman, rather than being protected by her husband, she wanted to show her strong side.
And she thought this business trip was a good opportunity to show that side of herself.
“Don’t worry, I’m doing well. How are the kids?”
-Cries because I miss my mother. She must be embarrassed because she’s never been away from her mother for that long.
“…It sounds like a lie, but I’ll believe it.”
As much as her mother was away from her, she knew her kids were going through a tough time because her father was filling in for her.
-Really. Every night she asks when mom is coming, and the first one is counting the days.
“I want to go see you soon.”
The time difference made it difficult to make phone calls every day.
Because by the time she got her rest, her kids were already asleep.
The kids had to put up with their sleep so I could barely make a video call.
Because of the situation, naturally, only my husband had to talk on the phone rather than the children.
My husband barely managed to soothe his longing by showing us the children sleeping.
-Cheer up. I’ll cheer you on. Where did you say you were staying at a hotel?
“It’s a five-star hotel. It’s a comfortable place to stay.”
Her husband kept asking what kind of hotel it was, so I told him once more and hung up.
“Whew…”
Thinking about having another nightmare again today, I can’t help but sigh when I look at the bed.
I don’t want to sleep, but in order to relieve fatigue, I had no choice but to take a nap.
‘I think it would have been fine if I brought a hippopotamus doll.’
I was so preoccupied with the fact that I had to go on a business trip that I didn’t even pay attention to the nightmare, so it’s good for myself.
“You should sleep anyway.”
Instead of lying on her bed and closing her eyes, she pulled out her phone.
And she starts looking at the pictures her husband sends her.
They were all children sent by their husbands.
‘You look happy. Is playing with Dad that much fun?’
The kids are fed up with her father coming home and playing with her every day, promising to fill her mother’s vacancy.
Her dad says her kids cry every night because he misses her, but the reality is he’ll probably say that he wishes her mom came later.
Next day.
After working for a while, the video was sent.
It came from her husband, so I checked it without much thought, but to my surprise, the video showed the children and her husband.
-Mom~~!!
The youngest was the first to speak out.
And next, the first one spoke while growing up.
– Mom, I miss you. Work hard and come!
– Bogosifer!!!! Work hard!
I don’t know why it’s so cute when the youngest follows her first.
“Did you film this?”
-Come on, one two three!
Starting with her husband’s voice, she starts singing children’s songs.
– Mother, cheer up!! ♩~♪ Ours are the best!!!♬~ Mom!! Cheer up!!!!♬~
“Ahaha!”
All the stress I had been experiencing from the nightmares was disappearing.
“Oh, are these the CEO’s children?”
The staff heard the sound and showed interest without being able to hold back their curiosity.
She gladly showed her cell phone to her staff.
“Kyaaak! It’s so cute.”
“Oh my gosh~ You’re so cute.”
“I can’t help but look at this.”
“You will be happy.”
“Your husband is still handsome.”
“How happy I would be to have someone waiting for me at home like this. I really envy the CEO.”
“Huh-huh. It seems to be gaining strength.”
Her husband’s surprise gift has been a great source of strength for her exhausted nightmares.
“I’ll have to work harder.”
Employees were also more focused on their work than usual, as if they were encouraged by the children’s cheering video.
After struggling with documents all day, going to the site and checking the construction status while working, the day quickly passed.
“Another day has passed.”
Eating dinner together with the staff to soothe exhaustion.
I received support from the children and soothed my fatigue, but that was mental exhaustion, and physical exhaustion was a different story.
‘If I had taken nutritional supplements, this would have been nothing.’
Don’t you say that you don’t know where you are, but you know where you are?
When I ate nutritional supplements, I was clearly feeling the effects I hadn’t felt because I didn’t eat them.
‘I guess I’m getting old.’
The reason why she was able to work fine in the meantime.
The role of nutrients was greater than expected.
Now, I missed nutritional supplements more than the pillow that used to get rid of nightmares.
Returned to the hotel after having lunch with the staff.
“It’s cool~”
“Aww!”
As she enters her hotel room, a stranger appears in front of her.
She was startled and she screamed because an unexpected person had appeared.
“Everything, what happened to you?!”
Why is anyone here supposed to be watching the children?
“Have you forgotten something important?”
“!!”
Her husband brought forward what he had been hiding behind her back.
It was the nutritional supplements, pillows, and hippopotamus dolls she longed for.
“Did you come all the way here to give this… To me?”
“You must have been having a hard time abroad, but you didn’t take these important things. If you had told me, I would have brought them right away, but why didn’t you tell me?”
“I’m just wondering if you’re like this! My God… Where did you come from! What about the kids?”
“I explained everything to the kids. My mom said she had something she needed and left it. So the kids told me to get it quickly.”
“But if the kids don’t even have a father…”
“Haha, so I only got permission for one day. So don’t worry about the kids. We’re reuniting after a long time. Shall we start by hugging?”
Hearing her husband’s words lifted her spirits.
Come to think of it, how long has it been since she met him!!
“Honey!”
She spread her arms and rushed into her husband’s arms.
Her body sinks into her husband’s arms.
‘Ha ha… This is it. How much I missed this.’
Sniff sniff sniff!!
Unable to hide it from her husband, she inhaled his scent.
She really missed this scent, although she missed it herself too.
When I miss a person, I don’t know why I miss the scent first.
“I missed you.”
“Me and me. Still, it feels good to come here, right?”
“…Yes.”
It’s because he’s worried about the kids, and it was good that he was here.
“But when I came, I shouldn’t have spoken. When did you arrive today?”
“Um… Has it been three hours?”
“Then let’s get in touch!”
“What are you doing to the person at work? I’m here because I’m waiting.”
She clung to him and talked to him without falling apart.
Then he said as he gently shook the supplement bottle.
“Are you tired? I don’t think you slept well.”
“…Actually, I had nightmares again and couldn’t sleep well.”
“Ugh, be upset. How much hard work did you lose weight like this? Let’s start with nutritional supplements. And today, don’t have nightmares and get a good night’s sleep.”
“You just came here and want to sleep right away?”
She was told the children were only allowed one day today.
So shouldn’t we be back soon?
I wished I could spend more time with him.
