The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf

CHAPTER 16 – HAVING CINDY OVER

When Cindy approached Riona's house, she drove the car slowly and parked in front of the house.

“Thanks Cindy” Riona said as soon as Cindy stopped the car.

She opened the door and got out of the car. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“You are welcome, Rio. We would see some other time” Cindy replied.

“Not so fast. My dad is in and I think you should say hello before you leave” Riona suggested.

However, Cindy felt it was not necessary to speak with Wright so she objected to Riona's request “Is

there any need for that? He might be busy”

But Riona was not taking no for an answer “I think I insist Cindy. Just for a minute or two. Today has

been a long day for the two of us and I would like you to come in and relax a bit. I must say a thank you

to you” she persuaded.

Cindy knew that there was no point trying to resist Riona’s request as this wasn’t the first time that

Riona would be making such an offer and all her resistance has always yielded no result. With this, she

got down from the car to obey Riona’s demand.

“If you say so, but I still don’t see any need for that” Cindy insisted.

“Thanks Cindy” Riona smiled.

Riona was happy that she was able to get Cindy to do her biddings so she gladly went to her, pulled

her by the hands and led her inside.

When they entered the house, Wright was sitting on the couch with his laptop.

“Hey dad, see who we have here” Riona announced Cindy’s presence.

In reaction to Riona's announcement, Wright looked up to. When he saw that Riona was referring to

Cindy, he smiled

“Wow, and who do we have here?” He exclaimed.

“Hello Mr. Wright, I am so glad to see you” Cindy said.

“The pleasure is mine, Cindy. Please come and have a seat” Wright invited Cindy to come and sit by

him.

Cindy went to sit down beside Wright. “Thanks so much Mr. Wright”.

“Dad, Cindy was a great help to me today, I wonder what I would have done without her” Riona

announced.

“Thanks for that, Cindy. I do appreciate your zeal towards the organization” Wright said.

“It is nothing Mr. Wright, I am paid to do what I do and since it is already what I love doing, I just have to

put in my best. And moreover, we didn’t really do much today” Cindy tried to make it not appear as

mighty as Riona had narrated.

“I beg to disagree with that. Dad, we actually visited three homes today. If not for Cindy, I would not

have been able to achieve that much” Riona countered.

“Cindy, I must say that you are doing a great job. You don’t need to admit it, but I see it” Wright

complimented.

“And I must say a big thank you for that” Wright added.

“I am honoured sir” Cindy responded.

Riona went to stand beside Wright “What are you working on dad?” she asked.

Wright turned to Riona and replied “I am working from home dear. I need to clear my table if I intend to

be able to afford the vacation that I promised you”

“Oh that. Can I help you with anything? I would not want to miss it either” Riona offered.

“There are just little finishes, honey. I just noticed that I have so much work lurking behind so I intend to

go over them and direct my Personal Assistant on what to do” Wright explained.

“Okay dad” Riona replied and sat on her dad’s legs.

“And what do you want, Rio?” Wright asked.

He knew that Riona sitting on his legs would only mean one thing, which was that she was about to

make a request so he decided to save her the stress of going over that and go straight to the point.

“About the vacation dad, I would like Cindy to come with us. You see, she has worked so hard all along

and I would like her to take some time off to relax at least before our big project kicks off” Riona

requested.

“Sure Rio, I agree with you that she has worked really hard and so that would be great” Wright said.

Wright turns to Cindy “What do you think?” he asked her.

“Actually Mr. Wright, I would have objected to the offer but knowing that Rio does not take a no for an

answer I might as well go along with it” Cindy replied.

“And now, that is my girl. You are learning at last” Riona laughed.

“So talking about your big project, how is the sponsorship coming along?” Wright asked.

“So far it has been good. I am thinking of either stopping the receipt of donations or increasing our

intake. Increasing our intake would be the best option, but my fear is management. We did not make

adequate preparations to take care of more kids” Riona explained her plight to Wright.

“I understand Rio, and that is why you’ve got J.M.L.S to take care of that” Wright said.

“J.M.L.S, who are they?” Riona asked.

“That is Johnson Maeve Logistics and Statistics. It’s Maeve’s company. They can adequately take care

of that no matter the number” Wright explained.

“If they can do this, I and the kids would be indebted to them” Riona replied.

Riona was glad to realize that a part of her worries had been taken care of. And now she can

adequately accommodate as many kids that applied.

“How was your meeting with the Daniels?” Wright asked.

“It was great, dad. They had actually come to request that their son who goes by the name Trevor

Daniel’s application be considered” Riona explained.

“And what would you do about that?” Wright asked.

“I believe that he will get it” Riona replied.

“And if he doesn’t what happens? You know you also have to think of such possibilities” Wright asked.

“That had also been a bother to me. What would you have me do, dad?” Riona asked.

“What would you rather do?” Wright responded.

Riona thought about her dad’s question and said “Then I would have to personally fund him. I want to

see that smile on his face”

“That is great news honey. And I am happy that you are willing to help” Wright said.

“I got that trait from you and mum dad” Riona smiled.

“I must say that I am amazed at Riona's compassion and empathy towards the kids, sir. I know that I

am working under the best hand” Cindy said.

“Sure she is the best” Wright responded.

“Enough of the praises, you two. please dad, is there something to eat, I am famished?” Riona

requested.

“No there is nothing available” Wright replied.

“Okay dad. I and Cindy would quickly get something ready” Riona offered.

“Right Cindy?” Riona sought Cindy's approval.

“Yes I am in” Cindy accepted.

“That would be great dearies. I think I need to eat too” Wright said.

“Right away dad” Riona responded as she went and pulled Cindy to the kitchen.

When they were done with preparing the meal, they all sat down to eat. After they finished eating,

Riona and Cindy cleared the table and after that, everyone sat down to discuss for a while before Cindy

bid them goodbye.

“So glad to have you here with us today Cindy, and I must confess that we are going to miss you”

Wright said to Cindy when she announced her intention to call it a day.

“I felt so at home here Mr. Wright. Thank you so much” Cindy said.

“Thanks once again Cindy, now let me see you off to your car” Riona said.

Cindy was glad to accept Riona's offer “That would be just great Rio”

“And I would communicate the date of the vacation to you once my dad and I have agreed on it” Riona

said as she led Cindy out of the house.

“I would be expecting that dear” Cindy said.

Riona came back into the house after she was done seeing Cindy off.

“She is such a darling” Riona exclaimed.

“Of course she is. Evolette always had lots of good things to say about her” Wright concurred.

“I wish to have more of her around dad” Riona said.

“She has other things to do, Rio and so that would not be possible” Wright responded.

“I know that. She is such a beautiful young lady, and she has achieved so many feats for herself” Riona

said. “She actually does inspire me”

“You are right Rio, she is surely someone to look up to considering her family background” Wright

concurred.

“Talking about her family background, she is just so much like you, so humble and beautiful” Riona

said.

Riona studied her dad's countenance and she noticed that he was not showing much interest in their

conversation but that did not stop her from going on with the discussion about Cindy.

“What do you think of her dad?” Riona asked.

“I already told you Rio” Wright replied amidst being focused with the work on his laptop.

“I mean more than that” Riona said.

“I know exactly what you mean Rio, but I don’t see her in such light. Moreover, she has her private life

to live and even we as her employers should respect that” Wright explained.

“Of course dad, we should” Riona said.

In a way, Wright’s response made Riona glad. She was happy that her dad had not started looking at

another woman. However, Riona wants that if her dad should decide to get a lady, it should be Cindy.

But she did not push further because she was happy to have him to herself.
