126 Error And Silver’s Fate (1/2)

At Error's words, the face of the girl paled.

”CEO Lu...still wants her to be by his side?”

Silver gave her a disdainful side-eye.

”Why do you think we'll waste our time here, doing everything to keep an eye on her? He even made us temporarily stop searching for the culprit, which should be his top priority right now.”

Silver sighed.

”This isn't like him at all...”

Error adjusted his glasses and said solemnly, ”When a man ignores the danger to his life in order to pursue a woman...that is what we call: ai!” [1]

Silver rolled her eyes, pretending to edge away from him. ”Otaku, don't drag us normal people down with you.”

”Didn't CEO Lu get a death threat?” The voice of the girl faltered, her gaze clouding. ”Should he really be focusing on other people right now?”

Error lifted his hand with a half-hearted shrug, his palm up in a 'So?' gesture.

”Why do you have to care about that? Just do your job. We're his employees, not his friends. If he wants to use his money to make us guard Miss Hui, then we guard her. Don't ask so many questions.”

”Make sure that what happened last night wouldn't be repeated,” reminded Silver. ”If you slip up and do something that could harm Miss Hui again...”

For a brief moment, all that could be heard from the laptop was the sound of running water. Then the girl on screen lowered her eyes, and in a soft voice said, ”Teacher, I promise not to do it again.”

Silver regarded her with a pinched face. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, her expression turned back to normal.

”It's good that you've come back to your senses. I'll deal with you later.”
