The woman just rolled her eyes and slammed the door hard, leaving William and Oscar alone in the corridor.
William looked up, "Pa, did I say something wrong earlier?"
Oscar just chuckled and shook his head. Without saying much, the man immediately pulled William's hand away. It was better for them to go home quickly than facing the wrath of the angry lioness behind that apartment door.
At first, William was so sleepy that he couldn't stop yawning. But once he sat in the passenger seat and went home, the boy didn't feel sleepy at all. There was just something he wanted to tell his father. Starting from the incident at school to what he ate with Lisa this afternoon.
Arriving at home, William immediately fell asleep on the sofa. Even though he heard his Father's protests saying he should change into more casual clothes or wash his feet first, William didn't care. That little back needs to lay on a soft surface first!
"Pa, Mama has been looking sad lately..."
Oscar, who was originally busy tidying up his shoes and William's on the shoe rack, suddenly looked up at his son's words. The man left the scattered shoes and walked over to William on the sofa.
"Mommy looks sad?" Oscar asked quietly. He sat down and asked again, "What do you mean Mama looks sad?"
William fiddled with his fingers on his stomach. Every time he remembers that his mother is sad, William also feels sad. The boy took a deep breath and then answered.
"Yes, it's been two days. By the way, she said she had to find evidence so she could defend herself. I don't get it, what's wrong with Mama? She often muttered something about the trouble at the office."
Trouble at the office again?
"William, what else did your Mama say?" Oscar asked while frowning.
William was silent for a moment, trying to remember what he heard yesterday and today. The boy was busy playing with toys or watching cartoons on TV. So he couldn't really listen to his mother's muttering as her voice was muffled by the sound of the TV.
"Ah, Mama said she was accused of seeing other people's work. What do you call it? Cheating? Copying? It's difficult to pronounce it, William doesn't understand!" WIlliam replied, looking unsure.
"Plagiarized?" Oscar asked doubtfully. The frown on his forehead deepened, making his face look a little intimidating.
William immediately pursed his lower lip. He had never seen that look on his father's face. And now, when he was discussing his mother's problem with the man, William felt a little scared.
"I… I don't know ah!" William replied carelessly. The little boy got up from the sofa and wanted to get off it.
Oscar seemed to realize what he was doing. The man laughed softly and tried his best to change the look on his face. "Sorry, I got carried away listening to your explanation. I'm not mad at you anyway."
It seemed that it was not enough to win the boy's heart. Finally, Oscar gave his most powerful move so that William would forgive him and tell him everything. The man took out his cellphone and opened a game app.
Now, sitting next to Oscar playing with the man's cell phone, William looked calmer. The boy's head rested on his father's shoulder and his mouth couldn't stop spit out whatever he remembered.
"So, at first, Mama felt sad when she found out that Papa was on vacation to Bali with Aunt Indri. I thought that Mama was sad because of it. But it turns out that Mama also has problems at work. Mama is accused of plagiarizing other people's work. That's it, I don't understand the rest!"
William frowned, "Ouch, I lost..."
"Wait, Mama is accused of plagiarizing other people's work?" Oscar asked seriously, his eyes unable to leave the boy's face.
"Yeah, uh uh my life point is about to run out!" William's reply was unclear. After a long silence, the boy spoke again, "Anyway, for the past two days, Mama has been looking at a pile of papers and her laptop screen."
Oscar nodded his head slowly, trying to understand William's words. Suddenly, the man got up from his chair and reached for his other phone.
"Thank you for the information, now I want to call Dani first." Oscar said seriously without looking at William.
William just cleared his throat and continued to play the online game.
"Don't forget to return Papa's cellphone before 9 pm, okay?"
Oscar climbed several stairs at once, quickly typing something on his cell phone. Arriving in the room, the man put the phone screen to his ear.
"Dani." Oscar called hastily.
Perhaps Dani had fallen asleep before he picked up the call. It could be heard from his hoarse voice and the steam that the man was trying to hold back. Dani sounded like someone who just woke up.
"Good evening, Mr Oscar. Can I help you?"
Oscar walked back and forth for a while in his dark room. He himself didn't really know how to help Lisa. Because from the information he got from William, he still didn't really understand the problem Lisa was facing.
"Oh well," Oscar finally sat down on his bed, "Please find out about the company Lisa works for. Find out what's going on over there. You just have to find out about the problem and important news!"
"Understood, Mr. Oscar. I will find out tomorrow morning!" Danny replied quickly.
Oscar frowned, "Dani, since when did I say that you have to do the assignment I gave you tomorrow? I want you to do that task tonight!"
"I want to know the answer tonight, Dani. I hope that you'll have contacted me before midnight!" Oscar continued with a firm tone that was able to make Dani couldn't help but obey.
Dani's plan was ruined, it's clear that he couldn't continue his deep sleep. The man had dreamed of meeting Gigi Hadid at a fashion show in New York, but the call from his boss jolted him from his sleep. Now, he couldn't help but obey the strict order of his master.
"Okay, Mr Oscar. I'll find out right away!"
