Chapter 317 - Rhionen Industries Dark Secrets (1/2)
Aleksis entered her penthouse with a feeling of loss. Really, she had never felt anything like this before. Little Prince Siegfried was asleep when she arrived. Carl and Sascha were busy with their respective laptops. The two Russian men immediately stood up to greet her when Aleksis entered.
Ah, yes... how would she convey a message to them that starting tomorrow she would have additional bodyguards?
”Carl and Sascha... I have a suggestion… what if you both go on a vacation for a month? I'm going to live in the dorm, so I assume that nothing bad will happen to me there...” Aleksis said to the two.
The two men looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.
”Young Miss, please don't make Master punish us...” Carl complained. ”Our job is to look after Miss...”
Aleksis scratched her head that was not itchy. She could not think of any excuse...
”Ugh... all right. Then, could you help me carry my things to the dormitory? We'll stop by Joo Chiat first to leave my dog at Terry's.”
”Alright, Young Miss.”
The four of them went to Terry's house using a Tesla car driven by Carl. Terry was editing a video on three giant screens when they arrived. In that house, Terry lived alone, only with a gardener and a cook. The cook hastily told him of Aleksis' arrival.
”Eh, you have arrived.” Terry rubbed Little Prince Siegfried's head and pointed to a room on the ground floor, ”His room is ready at the end of the hall. Just put all his stuff there. Your dog cannot go up to the second floor, though, because I keep a lot of valuable electronic equipment there.”
Aleksis was surprised to hear that. ”You prepared the guest room for Little Prince Siegfried? Wow... You must really love my dog that you gave him a room of his own...”
She hurriedly hugged Terry then kissed his cheek. ”Thank you!!”
”Hmm...” Terry just grumbled indistinctly.
Carl and Sascha placed a bag that contained Little Prince Siegfried's toys and other stuff, such as his favorite music box and a few sacks of dog food in the designated room.
”What time will you want to go to the dorm, Young Miss?” Sascha asked before leaving.
”Uhm... I don't know yet...” Aleksis turned to Terry, ”Do they usually have a curfew in the dorm?”
”10 pm, I guess,” Terry said with a shrug, ”Why?”
”Would you mind taking me to the dormitory...? That way we will have some time to talk freely. Carl and Sascha can go home and don't have to wait for me. Besides, don't you want to talk about Rhionen Industries?”
Terry thought for a moment, then nodded. ”OK...”
Carl and Sascha then excused themselves to their car and kept an eye on Aleksis from afar, as usual.
After the two bodyguards left, Aleksis hurriedly pulled Terry's hand to the sofa and sat next to him.
”I met Prince Siegfried!!” she exclaimed enthusiastically. ”He's as good as I imagined. And now I'm confused...”
”Why are you confused?” Terry asked in amazement.
”I didn't tell him who I am... He doesn't know that I am an Alchemist and that I have two bodyguards watching over me anywhere to protect me from perverted men...”
”So?”
”So, he prepared two bodyguards to protect me from perverted men...” said Aleksis with a frustrated face.
”Wait... what? So now you have double bodyguards now? Bahahahaha...” Terry couldn't help laughing, ”What a waste of human resources, it's better to use some of them to protect me...”
