Chapter 261 Lady boss, please behave! (1/2)

When Lexi left the lab with a bright aura beaming around her, she slightly flinched the moment she stepped out of the lab. There, Nico Zhuang was leaning on the side as if he was waiting for her.

Lexi looked down and saw that he was still carrying their samples and seemed as if he didn't submit them yet, which made her brows furrow. Alas, just when Lexi was about to inquire as to why he was there, Nico Zhuang spoke first.

”You don't usually go that far.” Referring to the fact that Lexi uttered more words than usual to Stella Du's group that might trigger something inside the unreasonable miss.

”Well, our class will be completed after the last exhibit of our products so, I just thought to tease her as a gift.” Nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders, Lexi grinned mischievously that made the ever worried Nico Zhuang shake his head and he heaved a heavy sigh.

Unbeknownst to her, Nico Zhuang has his own reason behind his sigh.

'Lady boss, please behave or the Master will kill me.' Nico Zhuang let out another heavy sigh. Her journey had been running smoothly mainly because no one could make her bother with other things or people aside from her products.

However, now that they were already near their certifications, Lexi upgraded her mischief and took notice of Stella Du's nonsense.

”Anyway, why didn't you submit them yet? Shall we submit then together?” Brushing their discussion to the side, Lexi diverted the subject with an important one.

”Uh...” Gazing down at the two small tubs, Nico Zhuang pondered what excuse he should come up with. After a beat, he raised his gaze to meet her natural sharp eyes. ”I thought I forgot something and only realized it's in my pocket when I had arrived here.”

Nico Zhuang could not even convince himself with his lame excuse, however, he knew she would buy it. After all, he had implanted this personality to everyone so he wouldn't look weird when he gave such a lie.

”Tss... so clumsy for a smart guy like you.” Lexi clicked her tongue and slightly shook her head upon hearing his excuse. Just as what Nico Zhuang said, Lexi didn't doubt him as he was always this clumsy ever since she met him. Hence, this was always a normal occurrence that others might think Nico Zhuang was just a weird lad.

After that, Lexi and Nico Zhuang headed to their respective lockers to have a change of clothes before they submitted their products to another department to get it examined and approved.

”Nico, I haven't asked this before but, don't you have a car?” As Lexi buckled up her seat, she turned her head to the front passenger seat where her lackey perched comfortably.

He had been hitching a ride with her whenever he could, especially when they had to go to a certain place because while they were classmates, Nico Zhuang also applied to be her assistant to the company she wanted to establish.

As usual, his reasoning was silly: ”I need a job.” It was an unconvincing excuse but with his skills, he would be a great help for him to be on her side. Therefore, she allowed him to tag along wherever she goes.

Still, the fact that Nico Zhuang could afford to attend such classes as her, would need a load of money to shell out. Thus, Lexi was confused with this weird fellow as he seemed as if he was raised with a decent family with considerable wealth.

Even so, Lexi scratched the possibility that he might like her as Nico Zhuang never gave that kind of interest and she was actually comfortable with him around as if his presence felt familiar— like she had known him for a while or rather, his presence had been around her all this while.
