Chapter 819: Golden Age 2
Denise Green pinched Noland Lee hard on the waist.
She used all her strength, not giving Noland Lee any leeway:
“You go running off to Selena every few days, and several times you’ve come back smelling of her perfume. Humph, I’ve known for a while that there was something going on between the two of you.”
Noland Lee’s “Tenacity” had reached a whopping hundred points, enough to immunize him against such mosquito-bite pinching tactics.
Still, he took a sharp intake of cold air and shivered as he said:
“Hiss. It’s not as bad as you think, Denise. Although she seems to indeed have a thing for me, I do know my boundaries. It was only after careful consideration that I chose her as the Principal.”
“Just because you have boundaries now doesn’t mean you will in the future…” Denise used both hands this time, starting to pinch both sides of Noland Lee’s waist simultaneously:
“Humph, it’s infuriating.”
After pinching hard a few times, Denise suddenly let go of her grip and buried her head in Noland Lee’s chest, speaking in a wronged tone:
“I’m sorry, Noland, I’m not of any help. If only I could manage affairs like Selena does for you…”
A hint of amusement passed through Noland Lee’s eyes.
He gently patted Denise’s back, speaking in a soothing voice:
“After all, Selena has lived decades longer than you have, and her management experience is definitely beyond your reach. But starting to learn now isn’t too late, right?”
“How do I learn…” Denise muttered.
Noland Lee cupped her cheeks and chuckled:
“Haven’t I found you a teacher? That’s Selena. After all, she’s a witch of the Pomida Family, with countless ties to both Pomida and Hotams.
“Use that little brain of yours and think about it, Denise. If one day Selena must choose between our sub-dimensional plane, the Pomida Family, and Hotams, who do you think she would choose?
“Since we can’t guarantee that she will definitely choose our sub-dimensional plane, shouldn’t we prepare in advance, making sure you can take over her role at any time to help me manage the sub-dimensional plane?”
Denise’s eyes widened:
“So that’s what you’ve been thinking…”
“Yes. Considering that you don’t have experience as a Principal due to your background, lacking the necessary knowledge and ability to judge people, that’s why I brought Selena over.”
Noland Lee paused:
“Mhm, of course, there are also other reasons for choosing her as the Principal. However, those are a bit too complicated for you now, I’ll tell you about them in the future… How about it, have you calmed down now?”
Denise clenched her fist and gently thumped it against Noland Lee’s chest:
“Humph, lucky you explained in time…”
Denise then massaged the area she had hit:
“You should go and meet with Selena and her elder brother.”
“I’ve changed my mind,” said Noland Lee:
“I’ve been thinking, there’s no rush to liquidate the magical items. Today is such an important moment, it’s better to invite you to witness it with me. Come with me, audit my conversation with the two of them, and take the chance to secretly observe Selena, to learn her management skills sooner.”
