Chapter 31 He Could Rest Assured

But the after-effects were also relative.

Thanks to the radishes, everyone spent a night with a rather unpleasant scent.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Luther was still suffocated by the smell in the room drifting away.

However, Melina, who had always tried to avoid him as if she was playing hide and seek with him, deliberately grabbed his arm.

As long as he wanted to leave, she would pretend to put on a pitiful expression and blink her big, watery eyes, and then clinged tightly to Luther.

"Darling, do you dislike me now? Ah, I'm so sad... But the radishes were also given by you. If you leave now, what should I do?" Melina pretended in a sorrowful tone.

"Melina, do you believe that I will kick you out if you speak again?" Luther was getting more and more plagued by her and his face turned green, but unfortunately, no one could see it beneath his mask.

He didn't know why, but he clearly knew that Melina deliberately made him uncomfortable. But when he heard her calling him husband and referring her son, his heart inexplicably trembled.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that I have a good impression of her?"

Impossible...

How could it be!

How could he like such a stupid woman?

In this way, Luther hypnotized himself until dawn.

...

"A business trip?"

"What? Do you have a problem?" Luther(Mr. King) was another mode while working-sarcastic and sharp-tongued.

Melina was stuck in his words for a long time and did not know what to say.

Logically speaking, as an assistant, she should go with the boss on a business trip.

But she was a little worried about her son. When she went out this morning, it seemed that Luther said that he was going on a business trip. She thought to herself, "If I'm not at home, my son will be alone at home on the weekend. Will he feel lonely?"

"Can I not go?"

"Pff." Mr. King tilted his head and sneered.

He was handsome and looked good no matter what he did. Melina was stunned by his enchanting smile for a few seconds, but soon, she quickly gathered her thoughts.

"President, it is my honor that you chose me out of so many assistants. But I have a son at home. I'm really worried that he will be home alone this weekend. What do you think? Do you want to arrange for someone else?" Melina flattered him. In the past few days, she had roughly figured out the temper of this Boss. He seemed to be very cruel and harsh, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would be unreasonable and heartless for benefit.

"But I saw the information from the human resources department. You seem to be unmarried yet, right? Where did you get a child?" Luther asked deliberately.

"I was just unlucky. Before, it was the child's father to look after him. But now, his father wants to find another woman, so he gave me the child." Melina lied.

It wasn't that she didn't want to admit Luther's identity, but Blackwood family hadn't made their relationship public. Why would she go around telling people that she had was married with Luther?

Plus...

Those photos... were still in her drawer.

"Your luck is really bad..." Mr. King suddenly sat up straight and hooked his finger at Melina.

"Come here. Are you still single?" He asked again.

"No."

"Then you..."

"I can't divorce so easily! As long as I'm alive, that bitch will always be a concubine!" Melina suddenly thought of a classic movie line and blurted it out.

The scene was too realistic, and she blurted out the vulgar words .

Sure enough, when she looked up, she found that her Boss was looking at her with a complicated expression. There were only two words in his mind: damn fool.

"Just go. I don't need you on a business trip."

Mr. King waved his hand weakly, thinking to himself, "What kind of woman did I end up with?"

As he looked at Melina, who was wearing a blooming smile on her face, he only felt that his irritation deepening.

Those sparkling eyes were even more dazzling than the sunlight outside!

Although he had already noted down the way Melina tricked him, he was satisfied with Melina's choice.

Since she was mindful of Bennett, he could leave for work with no worries.

He was indeed not short of money now, but he also wanted to give them a better life.

Plus, it was actually a little inconvenient to take Melina on a business trip.

For example, the small country he went to this time was a country ruled by a queen. The status of women was extremely high, and they could even marry several husbands. If Melina experience that, wouldn't she be even more arrogant when he came back?

...

Melina, who had escaped the disaster of a business trip, felt refreshed.

Especially when she saw Mr. King leave the company with a group of people, she felt that she could be a fish who idled away.

As his administrative assistant, when he was gone, she would basically not be particularly busy.

Plus, in a game company, she could play games at work.

Of course, playing games could not be for free. The missions in each department were different, but in the end, everyone had to write feedback.

Melina opened the game and logged into her account that she had not touched for half a month.

Before she could say anything, a flood of messages popped up.

This was a new real-time role-playing game produced by their company this year. It gathered RPG, EDU, romance, and the manor-building system into one. It had already been praised by a large number of players before it even before official release.

Now, she was still playing the beta version. Not counting the internal employees of their company, there were only ten thousand accounts in the world now.

Even so, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the rich players.

Melina knew the second-ranked tycoon, NebulaChild.

To be precise, he had pestered her after she helped him kill the monsters and he insisted on making her his elder sister.

Yes. He wanted to call her his sister, not his girlfriend.

At that time, Melina felt that her charm was already negative.

But later on, this player called NebulaChild told her that he did not pursue her because he was still young and had not reached adulthood, so he could not marry her.

Hearing this, Melina was both moved and amused.

[Sister Melina, you haven't been online for so long. Are you in love?] NebulaChild asked.

Melina's hands stopped typing.

She thought to herself, "In love? With who?"

[No, just dealing with some things at home. What about you? Did you study well?]

Although this tycoon was young and sometimes his words were very childish, Melina liked to chat with him and often brought him to the dungeon and help him acquire rare equipment.

After all, to write the game plot, she had lost a lot of brainpower. Now, she was still full of a sense of accomplishment when playing this game.

Time always flew by faster when playing than when working.

Hearing the musical signal of getting off work from the company, Melina said goodbye to NebulaChild in the game.

The youth tycoon seemed to have been provoked today, always asking her some strange questions.

For example, did she like anyone recently?

And what type of man did she like?

She thought to herself, "Could it be that he is planning to pursue me again? That won't work. Abducting a juvenile is to be sentenced!"

...

[Gentle, kind, and cheerful.]

[He can't be too rich, and he doesn't have an ex-girlfriend connected to him.]

[He must be handsome. He can't have single eyelids. Boys with single eyelids are either very feminine or very silly.]

After reading the screenshots of the chat sent by his son, Luther laughed in anger.

Oh no, he could rest assured.

The type that Melina liked was completely different from his.

That's right. The name NebulaChild was Bennett's screen name.

Bennett had learned this trick from his father.

"Go and inform the technical department later." Luther put down his phone and said to Bill.

"Since Melina likes to play games so much and has so much time, then get her account link directly with all the game bugs that need to be tested in the form of a mission."

"Humph!" Luther thought to himself, "You even remembered to smear me while playing games, then I'll let you play enough."

Bill nodded and quickly informed the boss's order to the subordinates.

The staff from the technical department was stunned when he received the instructions. He did not understand how Melina had provoked Boss and Boss even wanted to make such a ruthless move.

It would be a disgusting experience to run into bugs along the way!

For the next few days, when Melina went to the company, the staff from the technical department looked at her with a mix of pity and guilt.

But at this moment, she was not aware of it, and she only occasionally felt a little agitated.

It was clearly an new zone that could be cleared in 10 minutes, but now, it could not be released in 30 minutes.

There was also a terrifying drop rate of materials. It was said to be three percent. She had been playing for an entire morning and had cleared probably a few thousand monsters, but only several basic pieces of equipment were dropped.

What made her even sadder was that NebulaChild said that he was going to school and would not be able to play in the future (actually Luther had frozen his game account).

Suddenly, Melina completely lost interest in the game of their company that was not yet released to the public.

"What about the weekend class reunion?"

"Not going."

Melina replied when she saw the message from her university roommate while lying in bed.

Since the last time they parted at Blackwood family's old house, although Winslow family and Blackwood family's attitude toward her hadn't completely flipped, it had also changed greatly.

For the first time in her life, Mr. Winslow called to show concern for her. His words were so mushy that she felt goosebumps all over her body.

She had already passed the age where she wished for her father to love her, and she did not want to go back and tangle up in fake familial warmth again.

However, those people obviously didn't want to let her go. Even Dorian deliberately sent her some messages for holiday greetings. He also sent her messages to remind her to pay attention to her health and drink more water during the summertime.

She thought he could not be any more fake.

Melina snorted. Just as she was about to put down her phone, an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen.

She pressed it down, and the person continued to call her.

She pressed again, and the owner of the phone, who had repeatedly called her several times, finally gave up.

After less than a minute of silence, a text message popped up.

"Melina, are you really not coming to the university class reunion?"

"Senior Matthew Voss has returned to China."

"It is said that it is because of you."

Seeing that name, Melina felt that her heart skipped a beat.

She thought to herself, "Is he finally back? But... isn't it too late?"

At the same time.

In a small country in Africa.

Luther once again rejected the Princess' enthusiastic confession and expressed that if someone else tried, he would spend money to hire mercenaries to blow up theiRendorland.

In an instant, the way the girls looked at him changed from adoration to fear, as well as deep confusion. Although they were a bit more enthusiastic and open-minded, they did not do anything bad, nor did they force him to do anything. They wondered why it seemed like even making a confession was a mistake.

Once again, he opened his empty chat box, and the baleful aura around Luther became even stronger.

He thought to himself, "Very good..."

"This woman just wants me to stay outside, right?"

"Not a single message was sent."
