The Charm of the Director

Daddy long legs

Jessy opened her eyes slowly. He looked at the whole room. He realized that he was now at home who witnessed his growth ranging from small children, teenagers to adults like now. He got up and sat down to look at the whole room. His doll is still neatly stored on his study table. Some of his things are still neatly stored. Mrs. Elisha was very good. Even rooms that should not belong to him anymore still keep his belongings.

He felt the wind stab his hand. He looked to see the window. It's dark outside. At first, he did not want to fall asleep. But due to exhaustion, he did not consciously fall asleep on his bed. He got out of bed and walked to the window. Nevada is not like New York which is crowded at all times. He saw his watch. At 7 p.m. Dean hasn't called her tonight.

His eyes were on the people below. That is Mrs. Elisha was with the two men who were dressed well. He frowned. They look very serious. He decided to see the three men. He began to see the two men riding in the car and waved his hand at Mrs. Elisha. Although Mrs. Elisha went back into the room with a face that was difficult to know.

There was a noise outside his room. He opened the door slowly. The children have come home from school. I hope he didn't meet last afternoon. But a little surprised, no one was enthusiastic when he saw it. They were still young, but it looked to him like a face full of confusion. Not just one person, but several people looked sad.

There is one girl who is usually alone is silent in a corner. The girl's name is Joey. When he came to this foundation, his age was likely only two years old. Approached him.

"Wouldn't anyone be happy to see me go home, Joey?" goda Jessy's.

The girl just glanced at him. Then he fell silent again while looking ahead with a blank look. Jessy sat next to him. "Joey, what's wrong? You never kept anything secret to me. Say it.."

"According to Mrs. Elisa, me and the others will be transferred to another foundation." she replied sadly.

"Why?" jessy was surprised.

"This house will be mortgaged to become a hotel. Mrs. Elisha, he was no longer able to finance us. The aid workers had long since stopped their aid. I'm sad to have to part with my friends here."

Jessy nodded in understanding. For this reason he saw the sad face of Mrs. Elisa a few minutes ago. He then looked at Joey and held his shoulder.

"Jessy. You're an artist now. You have a lot of money now, right? You can help Mrs. Elisha. You're the one we're proud of. You want to help us, don't you? Please just.. I'm begging you." Joey said, pleading. "I don't want to move out of here, Jessy. I want to be with Mrs. Elisha. I'll take care of him when he starts getting sick later."

Jessy nodded calmly. "I'll help. But I'll talk to my husband first."

Joey smiled haru. She hugged Jessy tightly. "Thank you Jessy.."

Mrs. Elisha sat at the table alone. He stared at the cup with warm tea. She began to remember her husband who was gone. This foundation is the only legacy of her husband. When she was convicted of not being able to have children fifty years ago, she and her husband began creating the foundation when their marriage was almost twenty years old. His age is no longer young. He already felt unable to take care of the fifteen children here. His age is getting older, he is often sickly. He wants to give the children the freedom to find another foundation. But they don't want to. Forced to find a foundation that can accommodate them and give them a decent life.

"Mom.." call Jessy.

Mrs. Elisha looked. He smiles. "You awake? I dare not wake you. You look exhausted."

Jessy sat down next to the old woman and held her hand. "Mom.. is there something? You look sad."

Mrs. Elisha smiled. He shook his head. "No, Jessy. I'm fine."

"I've heard it." said Jessy.

Mrs. Elisha smiled. "Don't listen to the children's words."

"Joey said it."

"I'll help you. I pledge. Don't let go of this foundation, I beg you. This foundation has many memories for me and the other children, mom.."

...***...

Dean kept staring at his phone. Jessy hasn't called her tonight. Filming was completed a few hours ago. Now he is in a hotel. When he and the team finished dinner, Harris invited him to a bar not far from his hotel. But he firmly refused.

Since the incident a few days ago, they weren't too close. Call Harris to the bar he was sure because he wanted to restore his second situation. Although he was still very angry because they had sold him, in his work he remained professional.

Suddenly his phone vibrated. Jessy called.

"Is there any other news today?" ask Dean

"I didn't see the news today. I slept all day in my room." replied Jessy

"Are you happy to live there? No paparazzi following you?"

"Of course there isn't. I feel like I've become a normal Jessy." replied Jessy happily.

"But I didn't hear your happy tone. What's up, honey?" ask Dean. When she heard Jessy's trembling voice, she knew something was hidden from her.

"Dean, I want to ask for your help" Jessy said seriously.

"What's going on?"

"I need a lot of money."

"You can ask for anything. What's for?" ask Dean. After marrying her, this is the first time Jessy has asked for money. Does Jessy really like money? It wasn't like that at first, but when they've been in a relationship for a while, Jessy starts to show her real face.

"I'll tell you later. I need it so quickly."

"All right, I'll give you. But on one condition." said Dean.

"What's? I'll replace it if you ask me to replace it." Jessy said quickly.

"Not that.."

"What conditions did you give me?"

"Come to Greece on the morningest flight."
