Man City decided to keep Cancelo and Bernardo. Two Portuguese players have been linked with a move to the Nou Camp this summer. Barca’s offer is in exchange for full-back Sergi Roberto and striker Ousmane Dembele moving in the opposite direction. However, sources from Man City say they are not interested in any swap deal. The rumors appeared after Barca continuously recruited stars out of contract Man City such as Sergio Aguero and Eric Garcia on a free transfer. Cancelo has been eyed by Barca but with four years remaining on his contract, it is unlikely he will leave City this summer. Moreover, this player is receiving the absolute trust of Pep and shows no sign of dissatisfaction after a good season. Meanwhile, Bernardo is said to be aiming to move to Spain this summer. But his future will only be discussed after the EURO. The 26-year-old midfielder is with Cancelo and Ruben Dias focusing on the goal of defending the Portuguese throne. Reports in Spain suggest that Barca have targeted seven stars in coach Pep Guardiola’s squad. In addition to Aguero, Garcia, Cancelo and Bernardo, the Catalan team also wants Ilkay Gundogan, Aymeric Laporte and Raheem Sterling. However, it seems Man City no longer wants to do business with the Catalan team after they lost two of their stars without receiving a single transfer. Not only have Barca contacted a number of Man City’s star players this summer, but they are even said to have “courted” former Green Man nutritionist Silvia Tremoleda. This female expert left Man City 2 years ago.

After being bothered many times, Saki decided to video call the HR department for the second time in September 2020. However, despite the “obsessive” harassment actions, the Google representative still insisted that it was a consensual relationship, a private matter, so he refused to investigate. “Neither of you have the right to impose others in the company. Therefore, we still maintain that this is a personal matter. I understand this is a difficult situation, but we ask for your understanding for the company. does not have the right to interfere in the personal affairs of employees”, the Google representative continued that it was an incident at Saki’s house, so there was no responsibility to solve it. Saki did not accept the above response because like millions of others, Saki’s home became a workplace for the whole of 2020.

I am 27 years old this year, no lover, and have just experienced a few love that went nowhere in the past. However, this does not bother me. With a strong personality, I live a celibacy, prioritize loving myself, don’t need a man to “fill the void”.

However, my daughter was also of age, my mother kept urging me to get married quickly and give birth to children. She is from the previous generation, her thoughts are a bit old-fashioned. Before, when my father was still alive, he was definitely a psychological father to a daughter. Normally, when my mother urged me to get married, my father would just brush it off and say that now I need to travel a lot, take care of myself. Even so, my father even gave me money when my mother “bullied”. However, my father passed away too soon, could not wait for my filial piety, it was all because of a serious illness.

There is a younger brother below me who is in college this year. The family has 3 mothers and children sometimes sad. That is why my mother urged me to get married early so that we could have more a bridegroom, and furthermore, one of my grandchildren.

Although I do not actively seek for love, I also have a few dating apps installed on my phone. I have to say I have good looks, sharp eyes and a personality face, so many boys take the initiative to get acquainted with the text. Sometimes I just go to check and reply to someone’s messages that I find intrigued. Some boys texted me to go out, go on a date, but I was too lazy, didn’t want to carry my body out, even though I said my home address.

Lately, a strange man kept sending flowers to his house. A few days after I got home from work, my mother gave me a bouquet of flowers and spoke “There’s someone in front of my house here. No text, just flowers.”

Each week, about 1-2 bouquets of flowers will be sent flowers like that. Not a message, not a recipient’s address, all just a bare bouquet. I immediately “localize” a few people that I often text back and forth. But everyone denied giving flowers to me, even sarcasm “Many people like it so many people do not know what to give flowers now!”

I was really curious inside that couldn’t be helped. Find all the suspicious people and still find no confirmation. Bouquets of flowers are sent out around the time I go to work, but normally if I’m at home there won’t be any.

In the end, I came up with a way, but still quite unlucky. That is, I check the camera in the apartment where I live. It is difficult to get in, because only the security guard or someone on management can grant the permission. Fortunately, thanks to the “relationship” plus the smart mouth, I can also see who came to the house to give the bouquet.

Illustration.

It turns out, a man came to my mother, put on a mask, and said something to her. I don’t know if he was the owner of the bouquets or just the delivery man. I hid this story and did not rush to tell my mother.

However, shortly after, I discovered in the drawer of the mother’s room an envelope containing 10 million VND. Besides that, there is also a message attached “Dear me, I hope you and your children will live well”.

I really doubted that the envelope was attached to the bouquet. And if you send it to me, why “hope you and the children”? I continued to secretly look in my mother’s locker when she was not at home. At the bottom of the cupboard, many envelopes have similar content. Especially, the number of envelopes is equal to the number of bouquets I received.

At this point, I couldn’t stand it. My mother must have had an affair with another man and then lied that the bouquet he sent for me was to cover her eyes. When talking privately with her mother, she admitted. That because my father is dead, she feels lonely, empty, and needs to be filled with her thoughts. The man was rich, his wife also died, just wanting to provide more support for my mother’s life comfortably.

My mother said to understand her, but now I’m really empty, don’t know what to do to sympathize …
