I chuckled and asked, "When have you ever seen me put up with anyone?"
Assistant was speechless.
I thought about the item I asked my assistant to give to Martin yesterday and inquired, "Did you hand over what I asked you to give to that man?"
Assistant replied, "Yes, I gave it to him personally."
I said, "Good, thanks."
As I was talking on the phone, the doorbell rang. Pomelo ran over, stood on a small stool, and looked through the peephole.
"Who are you?"
The person outside was silent for a moment before replying, "Martin."
Pomelo answered in her soft voice, "Oh, wait a moment. I'll ask Mom who Martin is."
The person outside replied, "No need. I'm your dad."
Pomelo thought for a moment, then said, "But I still need to tell Mom."
The person outside was speechless.
Pomelo ran back to me, "Mom, Dad is here."
I was initially confused, glancing at the door, "Dad?"
Pomelo nodded seriously, "He said his name is Martin."
My expression turned cold, "Tell him I'm not here."
Seeing my displeased expression, Pomelo ran back to the door, "Dad, Mom said she's not here. You should come back tomorrow."
Martin was speechless.
