Chapter 164 - I Have A Boyfriend (1/2)

”Tohru James? Like the Tohru James?” Mrs. Lee asked wide-eyed.

Er… Yanee was not sure about ”the” Tohru James thing but she nodded anyway.

”Oh my…” Mr. and Mrs. Lee exchanged looks of wonder and Yanee felt like there was something weird about it.

”What's going on?” she asked.

Her parents totally looked like they discovered something so shocking that she became curious. Tohru mentioned meeting them at a party two years ago. But he didn't tell more details so she had no idea if they had more connection than being at the same place, invited at an event by the same host.

”What's going on?”Mr. Lee snorted. ”That's what we'd like to know too! Who'd believe Niji would send their superstar to a smaller company without anything in it? Something must be brewing.”

Er…

Yanee and Chummy exchanged looks with the latter's lips twitching as she tried her best not to smile. Yanee glared at her to make sure she wouldn't although she too was having a hard time controlling her expression.

Who would have thought that her father had a very sharp sense to realize these little things? But of course, he's also a good businessman. It's a prerequisite to have a good sense. Something must be brewing? Of course, there's something. Yanee was that ”something”. However, she was still unsure how to open the topic. She opened and closed her mouth several times trying to say something but couldn't come up with anything.

”Well,” Chummy suddenly began and everyone's attention was on her.

Yanee felt nervous too. What if she said something wrong?

”Our company is small but it's actually good and we're doing well except for the literary department. It's actually doing badly. Since Niji took over, they probably sent their top dog to do overhaul the department and resurrect it,” Chummy stated with an innocently look that made even Yanee want to believe her.

Well, this was actually what they originally thought before the potato confessed to her. They thought he was sent there so that he could do magic in the dying literary department and start earning for the company. They knew better now, of course.

”Well, that made sense,” Mr. Lee agreed with a nod. ”Ah is that why you two were transferred to the literary department? It's because of him?”

Yanee and Chummy exchanged looks again before they nodded. Seeing them answer positively, Mr. Lee suddenly looked relieved and then thrilled.

”Then, that's great!” he commented his approval.

”It's great?”Yanee prompted. She knew she sounded like fishing for praises for her boyfriend, but her dad didn't know that so she wondered what he'd say about him.

”Yeah. That boy is amazing at his job. Even if you two dislike your work now, you will learn a lot working with him so you have to persevere and just familiarize yourself with the ropes. It would be advantageous for you in the future.”
