Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 40

Chapter 40 – Complete The Sky (Sky‘s POV) “You really don‘t have to go to the office, Dad,” I told my father, glancing at him seated at the back. 

He scoffed. “Pfft! I‘m getting bored at home. With Olivia becoming busy in school, I have no one to talk to at home. Elenita‘s only making me anxious,” he smirked as he looked outside the window. “My treatment had helped me prolong my life, only to die in boredom.” Frank pursed his lips, suppressing a smile as he glanced at my father in the rearview mirror. 

I heaved a sigh, swiping the screen of my tablet to check the schedule Catherine sent in my email. 

“When are you marrying Lalaine? Good heavens, I wanted to see my grandchild before I die, Sky,” He grumbled. “Next year. I just proposed to her, right?” I reminded him. Leo and Jake teased me that for a man who was head over heels with Lalaine, it took me six years to propose after my crazy marriage with a teenager. 

Dad opened his mouth to say something, but we were startled when Frank suddenly hit the brake to stop the car. Frank, a cautious driver, was shocked for a brief second before opening the door and getting out of the car. 

“What was that about?” Dad asked angrily as we got out to check on what had happened. 

“Are you alright?” Frank asked a little girl. He turned his head to us, looking pale as he explained. “She suddenly crosses the street.” Her lips were quivering as she turned her face at us. I tilted my head, wondering where I had seen that familiar face. “My! My!” Dad approached her. “What‘s wrong, child? Where‘s your mother?” He asked, looking around and guessing she must have run away from school. “She‘s at work, and I‘m waiting for my dad,” she answered and started crying. 

“Oh!” he exclaimed. “Is he late?” 

She shook her head. “I have never seen my dad, ever. Maybe my mommy is just lying about him.” She whimpered. “I don‘t want to go back inside because I have no daddy to bring to my classmates.” “Oh!” he uttered again, looking at me and smiling amusedly at the child. She raised her head and looked at me. When our eyes met, my heart hammered in my chest for a reason I could not explain. “Can you be my daddy just for today?” She sounded desperate already, and when I didn‘t answer, she started crying again. “Of course!” Dad chuckled, standing up and holding her hand. “You can hire him today as your 

daddy.” 

Hire? What am I? A sales staff offering some kind of service? 

“Dad!” I hissed and knitted my forehead. “I have a meeting at ten,” I glanced at my wristwatch. Although I still had an hour and my presence was not really needed in the meeting, I didn‘t want to get involved in her single mom‘s problem.
