124 A Trip (1/2)
The day for the trip finally arrived. Kanae took her fully loaded backpack with her as she headed to the company. The guards around the house passed her a look, but they didn't bother her. They were already used to see this girl wander around, and they knew that she lived in the back of the mansion, so no one said anything.
Kanae made her way to the company and saw that President and the other two boys were already waiting for her in front of their car.
”You're late,” Neo complained.
Kanae was speechless. The sun barely rose when she arrived in the company and they told her that she was late. How early did they want her to come?
Mike shook his head. ”Don't listen to him. Come inside the car.”
”Alright,” Kanae answered cheerfully.
Neo eyed the backpack behind Kanae. ”You're only bringing that little? We're going to stay there for a few days.”
”Yes, the laptop is from the company, so it should be in the car already, right? As for my personal belongings, this is enough.”
Mike and Neo looked towards each other. Why did they feel that their things were more compared with a girl? Although not by much, but wasn't it usually boys who have fewer belongings during a trip?
Kanae got in the car in the back as usual. Kevin was reading the news from his phone while Kanae watched the view from outside the window. She rarely went far away from her house, so she wanted to know the way even if she could only remember a little bit.
She nearly fell asleep when they arrived in the port. Her eyes glued to the large ship before her eyes. It was definitely hundreds of meters long and the height was at least a few dozens. She was not sure how many people could fit into this ship, but it must be a lot.
The color of the ship was white and its name was written in the gold color: Dawn. It was a beautiful name with the rest of the ship decorated in silver color with trace of gold everywhere. This ship truly represented the four biggest and richest families in this city.
”Kanae, what are you doing in front of the ship?” Kevin asked with an indifferent tone.
Kanae immediately snapped back to reality. She grinned sheepishly. ”I'm amazed by the size of this cruise. I have only seen it on the television before and this is my first time seeing it directly.”
Neo arched his eyebrows. ”You can come here directly, right? Part of the ship belongs to Nali Family.”
”Neo, you don't understand,” Kanae shook her head. ”Only those from the direct lineage have the access to all the wealth of Nali Family. Those who come from the branch are treated as dirt.”
Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that. Even Neo and Mike were rather surprised. They already knew that the branches family members were not treated as well as the main family. However, they never heard about the treatment being this poor. After all, those from the branches would never leak the news out from their mouth.
If any bad news came out, they would be beaten to death with the accusation of sullying the good name of the family. Yet, Kanae was not afraid. As long as they didn't have the proof to what she said, she was not worried. Even if they have, she would just destroy them.
”Your relationship with them seems to be very bad,” Mike commented.
Kanae nodded her head. Before she could say anything else, she felt that her head was patted. This gesture nearly sent her to the state of shook. Not that she didn't have any experience of being patted, but the one who patted her has a stoic expression on his face.
”President?” she asked with a weird tone.
Kevin retracted his hand as if nothing happened. ”They won't be able to do anything to you.”
Hearing his words, Kanae was stunned. Even though she didn't know Kevin very well, she felt somehow reassured from his words. It was a weird feeling, but she knew that it was there and she felt rather warm.
