Kent didn’t think so, “Whether you’re telling the truth or not, since I’m already here, be a good boy and do as I say, don’t forget, I’m your boss!”
He put emphasis on the last two words.
Blanche understood, but couldn’t help but whisper in protest when she thought of his independence, “If that’s the case, then Sir Lewis should have contacted the rest of his colleagues too, you’re worried about me being delayed, aren’t you afraid they’ll be up late too?”
“Don’t worry, I contacted them before I came, they were even already out, a late meal and a stroll around the airport was basically all that was needed, you were the only one who was still asleep after I called!”
“……”
Blanche inexplicably got weak and shrank back from saying anything.
Kent glanced at her, in a good mood at the way she dared to speak.
The two of them didn’t really know where to park the car until they pulled into an underground car park and Blanche dragged him around for a casual breakfast to fill her stomach.
Kent held his chin in thought for a moment and said, “I think we should stop driving so conspicuously on our days off, otherwise we’ll have a lot of trouble.”
He was embarrassed by all the stares he got from people on the road.
Blanche looked at him with a blank stare, “If that’s the case, then you do realise how much trouble you’ve caused me this morning, don’t you?”
“Hmm.”
Kent nodded again, “I understand.”
“You, you understand what?” Blanche subconsciously looked over at him warily, with a bad feeling.
“This time it’s on me, I’ll think long and hard about getting another car before I go to your house next time, or …… drive the car I usually drive to and from work.”
“No, no, no!”
Blanche hastily waved her hand with a look of trepidation, “You don’t need to do that, and there’s no need for you to have to hang around my flat when you’re usually free, it would be ……”
If Abbie found out again, she’d have a lot of trouble with her.
Kent looked at her, “Are you having a hard time?”
“Not really ……”
“Any other comments then?”
This ……
Blanche was once again embarrassed, unable to say anything, and Kent saw this and shrugged, with a matter-of-fact look on his face, “Since it’s not causing you any trouble, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with me coming to pick you up from the orphanage on my day off once in a while, should there?”
“Sir Lewis ……”
“Kent!” he corrected her relentlessly.
Blanche squeezed her palms, a little helplessly, “Kent, don’t you think it’s …… a little strange for you to come and pick me up and drop me off so casually?”
“Strange where?” He looked at her with a bewildered expression.
Blanche blinked her eyes and suddenly paused.
Kent couldn’t help but look at her dumbfounded look and become even more curious, “What did you mean by what you just said?”
Why did he feel like he didn’t quite get it?
Blanche came back to her senses and quickly shook her head when she met his uncomprehending eyes, “Nothing, in that case, it’s whatever you like.”
It wasn’t as if he meant anything else by his behaviour anyway ……
Kent didn’t answer again, just lifted his hand to glance at his wristwatch and then got up, “Come on, it’s about time we got to the airport.”
She responded and immediately took out her money for the bill and followed him.
At the airport, almost all of their colleagues were already there, just waiting for the two of them.
The group jostled their way onto the plane and flew straight to Japan ……
Blanche is Kent’s assistant and naturally sits beside him.
The rest of the group sat in the row behind them, the ones who were close enough to play cards at first, but they didn’t last more than a few hours before they closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Blanche looked around and couldn’t help but yawn.
“Take a nap if you’re sleepy, I’ll call you when we get there.”
Blanche froze for a moment and turned around before she realised it was Kent talking to her.
She immediately shook her head, “No, I’m not sleepy yet, you can rest for a while.”
With that, she was about to pull out her computer.
With a flash of gloom, Kent snatched her computer and placed it in front of him, then reached out and called to the stewardess and whispered, “Please get me a blanket.”
Blanche was helpless at Kent’s behaviour, but had no choice but to look away from the clouds.
In no time, the stewardess brought the blanket he had requested and Kent forcefully spread it over her body, “Rest when I tell you to, don’t give me that crap!”
The man’s words left no room for doubt and allowed no resistance.
Blanche froze for a moment, only to hear him stare at her with a burning gaze and say again, “You promised me earlier that you would put your own safety first, no matter what, and now you’re trying to break that?”
“It’s different ……”
“What’s different?” He asked rhetorically, “How can you be my assistant if you don’t get your mental state in order?”
Blanche was dumbfounded, the words coming out of her mouth, but eventually she stiffened and took them back.
Her hands tightened around the blanket he had personally draped over her, and her heart warmed.
She obediently closed her eyes, and within a few moments she was fast asleep.
The man looked at the soft side of her face, and the sullen look on his brow gradually relaxed ……
The little woman’s head was tilted and she was sleeping on his shoulder.
A few hours later, the plane landed without incident, and Blanche awoke with a startled cry, panic written all over her little face.
God ……
She was actually sleeping on Kent’s shoulder? And …… had slept the whole way!
Blanche was so annoyed at this moment that she wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill herself.
The man beside her opened his eyes slowly at her movement and was met with her head banging against the window.
“What are you …… doing?”
“Me!”
Blanche immediately turned her head and looked nervously at the man, but when she saw that Kent hadn’t noticed anything, she was slightly reassured and immediately tried to dismiss what had just happened.
She shook her head like a rattle, “No, no, I …… just got a little excited because I saw I was almost there.”
Kent half-heartedly, Blanche said as she dropped her afterglow on the man’s shoulder and was shocked to see an unknown puddle of water stains.
Blanche’s scalp tingled and she couldn’t help but think, “That …… wouldn’t be the drool she drooled after she fell asleep, would it?
