[Cheq, if you dare leave, then don't blame me for being rude!]
[Help me please this time ꒰ ྀི >⸝⸝⸝< ྀ꒱. …..otherwise, I promise you will never find a job in this city again!]
[Yeah, no it's better to make you completely disappear if you refuse to help me! Hmm! Do you dare take the gamble?]
Even if I could escape, Catherine's words instantly made my steps halt.
Never finding a job in this city again? My delusional Miss, this is too wrong, if I don't have a stable job then my Work Crazy System will surely annihilate me.
First came her pleading request then came her naked intimidation, the style of a domineering president was apparently full on display.
With her position and connections, I knew she wouldn't be joking. If I really run away, it's better to directly escape from this city entirely.
Sighs~
'Let's give it a shot! Anyway, the system task also says to help her, I can only hope the reward is worth it.'
Just when my mind was in conflict, Catherine had long rushed to me and held my left hand with great force.
"Mom, see!"
"He is my boyfriend, he stays just next to the room across from mine, he is the reason I moved to this building so abruptly."
Without any regard for me, Catherine shamelessly used me as a shield.
To give a false impression, she even coquettishly held my hand intimately, leaning closely against me.
Feeling the subtle weight and fullness on my left hand, my mind went momentarily blank.
'My dear boss, there should be an adequate boundary between a man and woman lest some unexpected thing might happen.'
I was screaming in my mind.
"Lies!"
"I know my daughter the best. How in the world did she have a secret boyfriend and I don't even know?"
Catherine's mom yelled hysterically.
"Young man! Judging from your casual clothes, it seems you are a commoner, can you understand what it means to be together with someone like her?"
Catherine's father spoke in an equally stern voice.
Looking at their daughter so boldly holding my hand, their eyes were filled with 50% disbelief and 50% resentment.
If eyes could have chewed people, I was sure their eyes would have chewed me countless times, the hostility in them was too profound.
I can understand they must be thinking I was fooling their innocent Catherine and thus robbing their precious daughter.
But man, I was also a victim being ruthlessly dragged into this eventful play.
Now, I was also feeling some anger, don't bully a young man because he looks weak.
Catherine's legs were already shaking under her parent's deathly stare.
[It's over, my mom and dad are too sharp, and it's almost impossible to fool. What will happen now? Sobs sobs~]
Thinking it was the perfect chance to counter, I immediately increased the grip on Catherine's hand.
Her body was already so close to me, and with my spontaneous jerk, she fell completely on me. Taking the perfect chance, I held her waist domineeringly.
Catherine was taken aback, unable to comprehend, she looked at me in a daze.
"My little baby, why don't your parents not believe you? It seems you had been a naughty kid in childhood always causing trouble….see now even your parents don't believe you!"
With a sweet smile, I scratched her upright nose in an act of ambiguous display of affection.
As spectators, such an action in front of her parents was a testament to nakedly challenging their authority.
"See, your mom and dad are so noisy! It was right for me to avoid seeing them before. Look at their petty faces which distinguish rich and poor."
"How can they forget that everyone once started from the bottom? Just because they are at the top, sitting in piles of cash, they have forgotten their roots. But don't worry, my dear!"
"With your love and support, I will surely rise to the top."
Like someone who had seen vicissitudes of life, I spoke with a deep emotion.
Giving a small provocative smile towards her parents who were angrily watching us, I gently tugged a strand of Catherine's hair behind her earlobe.
"Remember Catherine, if something happens to me then it must be the underwork of your exaggerated parents. Make sure to start hating them the second I disappear from your life."
My voice was already a bit sobby.
"If you can't find me tomorrow then remember either it's your holy mother who had secretly sent people to kidnap and torture me or it must be your arrogant dad, who probably hired an assasin to send me to the afterlife."
All types of those Asian tragedy dramas appeared in my mind, as I indirectly took revenge on her arrogant parents for looking down on me.
Catherine was still in shock, I hastily pinched her waist before crazily winking at her.
It took a second, but she got my signal.
[Getting Bolder…..Ain't We?]
[But I like it, heheh.]
[Cheq, looking at their green and black faces, you have thoroughly managed to infuriate them, now unless you board my sinking ship, you literally have no way out.]
Catherine didn't waste any time, with a somewhat coquettish face, she acted like a little woman.
"Don't worry my dear, my heart has already belonged to you. In this life, I won't find someone else. If something indeed happens to you, I could only helplessly cut ties with my parents and move to a shrine to spend the rest of my life in solace."
(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )✧~
She even put my faltering hands back on her waist and gave a deep look towards me before turning back to face her mom and dad who were left shell-shocked by this award-winning acting.
"Mom, you must have heard everything and all your doubts should be cleared now!"
"You can stop looking for a rich second generation for me now, I am very happy with my soulmate!"
"Okay, now I have to spend some alone time with my boyfriend. I will come home later."
Catherine spoke unruly before taking Shaan's hand and dragging him to the elevator.
"Brat, if you gave me a grandchild out of wedlock, I promise to break all your legs."
Catherine's dad, mustering all the strength in his body, shouted with all his might.
