Rebirth of the Big Boss Daughter (COMPLETED)

Can You Spare Me Your Time

Kara's P.O.V

"Where are you going?" I ask.

Xian looks at me and rub my head.
He take a look at the cake in the box I espicially made.
Taking out the small yet elaborated cake. I feel proud of myself.
Isnt it beautiful.
You cant help but admire me right.

Xian smirk and ate the cake biting a large piece at a time.

"Hey! Thats not how you eat a cake!" Barbaric!
Appreciate a work of art you bastard!

It is done before I know it.
Even Im angry Im happy he likes it so much as devouring the whole thing in front of me.
Even angry I wipe the icing around his mouth and face.

This silly guy.

"I will be off now. Thanks for the meal." Xian laughs and wave his hand.

Kara pouts but smile looking at his back.

"Sir Leonard, Happy Birthday."

Xian didnt look back but he murmurs , 'thank you' enough for Kara to hear.

There is a warm feeling inside Kara. You really have to know someone before you judge them.
She knew Xian for how many years in her past life yet all she knows is how irritating and how he ignores her. Yet she only spent few months and she feels like she knows him better than her past life.

September 1.
Speaking of birthdays, Dad's birthday is tomorrow.

September 2.

Every year in my past life, I always plan to give him something anyone cant think of yet Im always the one who bought him the ugliest.

This time..
I wont be competing.
What I want to give him.
Thats what Im giving him.
Even if its not expensive or pretty.

I wonder if in this life,he will pay me some attention.
Will he praise me, will he look at me with loving gaze?
Will he treats me like a good child?
Or will I be as disappointed as before?

"I will be late." I told Mom.

"Where will you go? Are you going with Penelope?"

"No. I want to be alone."

"Where will you go then?"

"Hmm...Mom, I want to buy Dad's gift."

"What?"

"I celebrated my birthday. I want to Celebrate his. Is that.....not good?"

"I will go with you."
Mom said holding my hand.

I smile and shake my head.
"I want to be alone."

And so I said...
In the end, I really gone alone but there are two old men who follow me around.

I smile wryly at Uncle Richard and Uncle Ethan who suddenly hide when I look back.

"You can join me if you are following me obviously." I said.

Uncle Richard and Uncle Ethan shyly smile at me.

They join my shopping.

"What does your father looks like?" Uncle Richard ask.

"Handsome." I said unbothered.

"More handsome than Uncle Richard?" Uncle Richard ask.

I look at him seriously.
"Are you asking for a heartache?" I ask.

He frowns and sigh.
I smile.

"What about a suit?" Uncle Ethan took one hanger with a suit.

I shake my head.
Dad doesnt wear anything unless it is personally made by his designer.

"Its expensive." I said.

"I can vouch for you." Uncle Richard said.

I shake my head.
That is not the point.

"I want to buy something in my own money."

"I see."

The two smiles.

We got tired but there is nothing I think will suits his taste.
It is really my yearly dilemma.

I am waiting for Uncle Ethan and Uncle Richard in a side when I saw this simple looking watch. It is very plain and can easily forgotten but Kara likes its design.

"Miss, can you wrapped this." I ask.

I am happily shaking the small rectangular box in my hand.
I smile but also sad.
This is why I value less.
I cant even buy a nice and impressive gift for Dad.

"Uncle Ethan, Ill be in second floor. I will buy us drinks."

"Sure baby.Wait for us there okay."

"Okay. Take your time okay."

I sit on the steel chair while waiting for my drink when someone sit near me.
I didnt look at the person but he taps my shoulder.

Looking up, my eyes are bewildered.

"Can you spare me some time?"

I nod without thinking.

"I am lost. My subordinate will be here in a minute or two. I am bored so I want someone to chat. Why are you here? Are you alone?"

"I...Im here to buy my Dad's a gift."

"Today is his birthday?"

"No. I dont know. I never met him"

"You want to buy your irresponsible father a gift?"

I want to laugh but cant find the humor.

"His my Dad." Instead I glare at him.

The man smile and look away.
"How envious."

I almost tear up but I force myself not to.
I look up to force the tears back.
I shut my mouth to avoid quivering.

"Are you angry at me? You didnt talk anymore."

"Sir, when is your birthday?"

"Tomorrow. September 2."

"Here. Take this."

"This is for your Dad,right?"

I look at him and I nod.
I want to say, 'Yes. It is for you.' But I have to hold back.

"Why not give it to you? It is your birthday tomorrow. Happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Two black suited man came and whisper to the man.

"My subordinates are here. See you again sometime little girl. And Thank you for the gift."

"Your welcome. Take care. You are not young anymore so take care of your blood sugar and blood pressure. And do not drink too much. And do not skip a meal. Do not drink coffee thrice a day. Do not...Do not..."

The man wide eyed look at me.
I know it is strange.
I know.

So I...

"Little Girl, you sound like my doctor."

I tear up.

"Hush now. I will take care of my health. I hope you see your Dad soon."

He left.

"Dad." I called.
But he cant hear me anymore.

I cried and cried.
Everyone is looking at me.

I know I swear not to care anymore.
I can still remember how he just stare coldly at my weakened body as I die.
But he is my father.
He is my Dad whom I did my best to please and to win over.
Seeing him after my rebirth makes my heart quake.

"Kara! What happened?" Uncle Richard hugs me seeing me cry while my body shakes uncontrolably.

Uncle Ethan also hugs me.

I almost laugh that two grown men are hugging me tightly.

A/N:

And sorry its late but Happy Father's day to all the Father's in the world.
