67 Are You Close with the Boss? (1/2)
”Are you sure you're fine with us dropping you here?” Neo asked when Tommy got out of the car.
Tommy nodded his head. ”The place where I live is not suitable for cars. There's no need to drive me further than this.”
”Okay, be careful, Tommy.”
”What about you, Jay? Where do you want to be dropped at?” Neo was pretty sure that Jay wouldn't want the rest of the clans' member to see their young master being escorted home.
”Just near the territory is fine. I can go home by myself,” Jay answered calmly.
After dropping Jay, they headed towards the company. Even though there was no class for them today, there was still work for them. Kanae got no choice but to follow after them to their work again.
When she came out from the car, she noticed that the gaze directed towards her increased by leaps and bound. Come on, she was just going with the president because they were in the same school. There was no need for them to be so excessively trying to recreate her image in their mind with their heated gaze.
”There are sure a lot of people looking today,” Neo commented when he saw the employees were looking towards Kanae.
”I think they just want to know who this girl that stays close with their beloved president is,” Kanae grinned.
Hearing the sarcastic remark from Kanae, Mike did all he could to not laugh. It wouldn't do him good to laugh in front of Kevin when the one they were talking about was this particular president.
Kanae could faintly guess their mind as she recalled the way the students looked towards her at first. They were jealous of her to get chosen as the Student Council Vice President, but at the same time, they knew that they were not her match. After they saw her only work and didn't do anything else, they eventually ignored her.
However, she was not sure how she should deal about this in the office. Trying to suppress them with her ability was basically useless. Her position would just make them hated her much more if she tried to confront them.
It seemed that the best way for her to not get their attention was by pretending that she didn't know anything.
”Your place of work is the same as yesterday,” Mike reminded.
Kanae nodded her head. ”I understand. Thank you very much for bringing me here.”
”Not a problem.”
While the three of them were going towards their office, Kanae walked to her own work desk. Her supervisor was looking towards her with a gaze full of bewilderment. He could accept that the boss was the one who picked this girl, but he didn't understand why their usually cold boss would let this girl stay with him.
He looked towards Kanae up and down. In terms of appearance, Kanae was very plain. With her wearing the school uniform, it was clear that she was in the same school as their boss. Her hair was tied into two braids. With the addition of her glasses, she looked like the studious type of students. In short, she was not attractive.
”Sir, can you please stop staring at me?” Kanae was feeling uncomfortable at the gaze her superior gave her.
”Ah yes, this is your work for today. You have to write the data on these papers to the computer and arrange them before showing them to me, understand?”
Kanae nodded her head. ”I understand.”
She turned her head to the monitor as her hand began to type at incredible speed. The supervisor was still looking towards her as he tried to think hard about why their boss wanted to get close with this small girl.
Feeling uncomfortable, Kanae stopped her typing. ”Sir, is there anything else?”
”Kanae, are you close with the boss?”
He could understand if she came here with the boss for the first time. However, she came here with their boss TWICE. This was what made him couldn't understand why their boss allowed her to get into the same car with him and came here with him.
”No, I'm just a member in the Student Council with him as the president,” Kanae answered. In truth, she wanted to say that she was the Student Council Vice President, but it would make their attention went to her even harder. After all, she has been working on the side of their boss for a couple of weeks.
”Oh, I see,” the supervisor said with uncertainty on his voice.
Kanae didn't try to explain further as she continued to do her work. In any case, it was the truth that she was in the Student Council, and she was also under him at school. Now that she thought about it, why it seemed that her life kept on being tied with that indifferent president?
