The Gray Autumn's

Missed Call

About an hour later, Majorie had returned to the hospital where Fleur was being treated. He also brought everything Benjamin had ordered to him. The young lady looked very excited. "How's your daughter doing, sir?" tanyanya attention.

"According to the doctor, his condition has started to stabilize. It seems like tomorrow he will be allowed to go home" Benjamin explained. "Are you going back to the office now?"

"If you still need my help here, then I can stay. After all, you're the boss. This is still your duty," Majorie boasted her sweet smile. The twenty-six-year-old young lady looked so friendly and smiling.

Benjamin smiled faintly. He then moved from his seat. "Please take care of my daughter for a moment. I had to contact someone, "after a nod from the Majorie, Benjamin went to another part of the hospital. He tries to contact Autumn and inform Fleur of her condition. By force, he also had to cancel the plan he had agreed to last night.

After several attempts to contact the girl, Benjamin had to pluck a sigh of complaint. Autumn did not answer her call, because at that time she was attending meetings with all marketing departments. As planned, the day was an announcement about the selected idea for the upcoming summer event. Autumn accidentally sets her phone in silent mode. In addition, he was also unlikely to receive a phone call in the middle of a meeting. Eventually, Autumn let the call.

Moments later, Benjamin decided to go back inside. He saw Fleur who was lying weak. While Majorie accompanied him while sitting in a chair near the glass window. "Bonjour, Princesse" said the copper-haired man as he sat on the edge of the bed. Fleur only responded with a small smile. "How are you doing now, Fleur?" ask Benjamin. Take the head of the child with affection.

"My body feels so tired" the little girl complained weakly.

"What's wrong. You better take a break. I will accompany you here" Benjamin said. He put aside his sense of dread in front of Fleur. The little girl was everything to Benjamin. "Do you want to eat something?" haggle that guy.

"I don't know, Papa. It felt uncomfortable," Fleur replied softly.

"If you want something, let me buy it for you, Little Miss," the Majorie, who had been sitting and watching, now joined the conversation between father and son.

However, Fleur did not reply. The long-haired little girl only turned to Majorie for a moment. After that, he turned his eyes back to his father. Fleur seemed to want to ask about who the young foreign woman was. Benjamin could understand the meaning of his daughter's gaze. He smiled calmly as he said, "This is Miss Doucoure. He's a secretary in my office" Benjamin introduced Majorie to Fleur.

"Hi, Miss Beautiful. What's yourname?" Majorie began to mince words with her friendly attitude. Fleur did not answer. He just stared strangely at the young lady.

"Miss Doucoure asked you, honey," Benjamin chimed in.

"Fleurine," the little girl replied with her soft voice.

"Your daughter is very shy, Mr. Royce," said the Majorie with a warm smile.

"You sure you don't need my help here anymore, sir?" The Majorie again scrunched her forehead with a strange-looking eyeball movement.

"I think it's enough. You're not paid to do tasks that deal with personal matters. So, I think you should just go back to the office. There is your real work" Benjamin said with a calm smile. A smile that could make any woman lulled when she saw it.

"alright. Your words are a command to me. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need help in any form," said Majorie again before saying goodbye. The young woman had turned to Fleur who had only been watching her since. Majorie smiled sweetly as she waved.

However, Fleur again did not respond to it. The little girl turned her attention to her father, who had just ushered in the departure of his personal secretary.

"Did she like you, Papa?" the question that sounded so innocent slid just like that from Fleur's lips.

"Who? The majorie? Oh, of course not," said Benjamin, linking his brows in an incomprehensible manner. "Why are you asking like that, Fleur?"

"The way he looks at you is the same as Elle, Papa. Unfortunately, I didn't like them both," Fleur said in a childish manner, allowing Benjamin to only take a slow breath. He sat on the edge of the bed facing the little girl. The beautiful face of Fleur which is a duplicate of the mother.

"I don't know what to say to you, Fleur. However, I think your attitude is very excessive towards Elle. You know if it wasn't him who made you fall down the stairs. He even contacted me right after the incident. Elle wouldn't let me take you and would rather wait for the medics, because she's worried that the injuries you're suffering will get worse. I think that's proof that Elle's been very considerate of you" Benjamin explained. He tried to get Fleur to understand and realize his mistake.

"Elle has a lover other than you, Papa. I don't like it" Fleur argued.

"How can you say such a thing, Fleur?" Benjamin knitted his brows.

"He was talking to a man, and the man was holding Elle's hand. They also talk to each other face to face. The man said he didn't want to let go of Elle" Fleur said.

Benjamin smiled as he let out a short breath. He held the tiny fingers of the copper-haired little girl. "Darling, you're too small to understand adult problems. Sometimes what you see is not the truth. However, I was confused as to how to explain it to you, so that you could understand such a thing. The point is, Elle and I love each other. You can understand that, right?" Benjamin shifted his touch to the top of Fleur's head. He stroked the little girl's long hair.

"Love each other is when two people vent feelings of affection in their deep hearts, to be able to give each other happiness. When that happened, there was nothing they had determined, other than sincerity and a strong intention to be able to give their best. As much as possible they avoid disputes, or anything that can make their loved ones hurt and even hurt. Like that, Fleur," Benjamin explained at length. Either Fleur will understand it or not. However, Benjamin was sure that the little girl could understand all of his words.

Fleur is a smart kid. He was only ten years old. However, he inherited the prowess from both his parents. It was undoubtedly, and was shown with a myriad of achievements that he scored inside and outside the school. "I want to go to the bathroom, Papa," Fleur said in the end. Benjamin then helped the little girl. He carried her to the bathroom. Meanwhile, the phone Benjamin left on the table seemed to be on. A call came in from Autumn which was eventually ignored.
