Chapter 705 - Night Proposal (1/2)

After a few more hours, the banquet was over and the two representatives returned back to their room to rest. Jason stayed in the hall until the last guest returned back, except for Laura.

”Good work, Jason,” Neo walked into the room with a laptop on his hand. He was grinning like a fool.

”What are you planning right now, Neo?”

”I'm watching the security camera all these times and I have to admit that you're really amazing, Jason,” Neo put a thumb up. ”You're making sure that they're all in their right place.”

Jason rolled his eyes. ”What are you talking about?”

”I mean, the nobles. This is the first time I see them making way for someone else,” Neo shrugged. ”Anyway, I'll send them to you for you to check if there's anyone suspicious.”

Jason's face darkened at the thought of work again. He was already busy working lately to be their guide and now he had to check if there was anyone suspicious? It would just increase his workload.

”It's not like you're the one who has to work by yourself, but I'll greatly appreciate it.” Neo smirked.

”Just do it yourself,” Jason refused immediately.

”Don't you want to help your friend?” Neo rolled his eyes in annoyance. It was not really Jason's job, but he was already dead tired ever since a few days ago. Trying to find help here and there became one of his priorities.

”If you can do it yourself, it'll be better. I'm already weary after a long time of work,” He looked at Laura, who was standing not far from him. ”I still have some matters to attend, so I won't be accompanying you.”

Neo shook his head lightly. He groaned at the thought of pulling another all-nighter again because of work. These two representatives' matters would kill him by taking his sleep away soon.

Jason walked over to Laura slowly. He smiled tenderly at the young girl. ”Do you have fun, Laura?”

”Not really,” Laura shrugged. ”Staying in the spotlight for hours and putting on a smile all the time is not something that you can consider as fun.”

”You seem to be enjoying it in my eyes.”

”Well, I have to keep on since I'll be doing this for a long time. By the way, how are you? You're not resting properly lately because you're busy accompanying them, right?” Laura looked at Jason worriedly.

Jason raised his hand and patted the girl's head. ”I'll rest properly, sweetheart. There's no need to worry so much.”

”That's what you say in the phone too,” Laura pointed to his eyes. There were some dark circles that started to show up because he didn't sleep properly. ”I don't want to see you look like a panda, so take care of yourself well.”

”I promise that I'll take care of myself, Laura.”

”Good.”

As the two of them were talking in the hall, Kevin returned back with Kanae. This time, they didn't head over to their room, but instead to the rooftop. It was late at night, so the place was empty. Aside from the beautiful stars illuminating the light, there was nothing else accompanying them.

”I thought you promised me that you'll order more food for me,” Kanae remarked as she leaned on the fence. Her eyes followed after the steps that she made on the snowy rooftop. There were many other footsteps because it was not snowing lately.

”We can eat later,” Kevin replied. ”What have you found from the two representatives today?”

”They're interesting,” Kanae glanced to the sky. Even though the two representatives were living a completely different life, they could get used with this place after a few days. It was not something normal people could do if they didn't have any experience before.

”What do you think they will write in their report?”

Kanae didn't immediately answer. She thought about their report and the possibility of them writing bad things as she sighed internally. Even though Jason had done his best in making sure that they were comfortable, there was no telling what these two might say.

Raising her head to look at the sky, Kanae fixated her gazes on the stars. ”I never expect to see stars in the middle of a city like this.”

Kevin knew that Kanae was trying to change the subject, so he obliged. ”This building is one of the tallest ones in this city. At this height, it's still possible to see some of the stars. If you want to see more, you need to go to mountain peaks or in some rural areas.”

”I know,” Kanae said softly. She turned her head to Kevin. ”I'm sure you have your reason to call me here, right? For a beautiful place like this, it's not normal for the place to be empty if it's not because of an order.”
