44. Me, or us?

"Oh my god, are you blind? Obviously Mr. Ando is trying to get us closer! And it's obviously your fault that you're bragging about the story that you've liked me or something!"

Lam's expression was like being struck by lightning as she fully realized her mistake. He groaned loudly shortly after.

"aaagh. I lost hours of my production age because of this stupid thing."

"Why don't you call me and ask? You don't have to wait that long." Elly also did not understand why her voice was laden with a laughable tone of worry.

Lam put Elly's hat back on her head and replied in a heavy voice, "and where can I get your number, dear lady manager?"

"You can ask Mr. Ando. Even if he doesn't have one, I'm sure he has my card."

"Then he would ask, 'You don't have the number of your best friend?' And destroy our stupid charade."

Elly tight-lipped. Lam noticed his movements that lowered her head and put both of her hands into her jacket pocket. This woman looked small in her eyes now and it made her overflowing emotions disappear quickly. Lam was amused because the leather jacket Elly wore was too big for her. It's obvious that it's a man's jacket.

"Is that your father's jacket?"

Unable to not voice her question, Lam felt astonished at her true self coming out of her character tonight. At first he thought he would not sleep all night

as usual if you are holding back emotions and end up spending glasses of alcohol.

"Just kid! My jacket!"

Lam grinned because of Elly who hit her arm with her pretty fist. Oh no, more precisely Lam grinned because of Elly's answer. Relief is unreasonable.

"Let's sit somewhere. I want to hear what Vino did today."

"What?" Elly failed to understand the shocking word Lam said. Especially seeing the man step his foot out of the yard.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to."

"Hey, wait!" Elly pursues Lam's big steps and tries to align her.

"You.. don't get angry anymore?"

"Hmph..haha!" Lam's flowing laughter makes Elly really want to bury herself alive. Why does she look like a pubescent Middle School girl now?

"Are you aware that you look different now, Miss Manager?"

"Where are we going to sit?" Elly switched the conversation with her haughty tone which she was trying hard to recover.

"Oh, I'm flattered you accepted sitting with me. I thought you'd refuse to sit with a lowly staff like me." Don't ask the reason. Lam really enjoys flirting with the woman next to her now.

"It's a job problem."

Elly's short answer made Lam whistle.

"Let's just sit in your car. Give me the key."

"Why?"

"For no one to see. I don't want to get involved in any gossip."

Elly reflexively stopped her steps. Not understanding with his legs that suddenly lost energy. Is he too tired?

"Hey, why?" lam's voice that was a few steps in front of him shocked him.

"Are you good there not being in your office since the afternoon? Didn't you say you're the only one who can do the job?" Elly asked after they sat in the car.

Lam breathed a long breath. "I think you should know that I least like my job being replaced by someone else. Especially if my chair is occupied by someone else. Thanks to your noble best lady manager, I must let someone else take my place. After all, BM cannot be allowed to not work. The aspiring models are after time."

Suppose to understand Elly along with the ringing of Lam's cell phone that was immediately removed from her pocket. Elly managed to glance at the name of the summoner. 'Chena's'.

"Oh, just talked about," Lam murmured before lifting her up which Elly followed by the tail of her eyes. "What's up, Chen?"

"Lam, there's a young man entering your office and instantly dropping down on the sofa! he fell asleep without hearing my ban! He didn't even seem to notice my presence! I tried to wake her up but it didn't work!"

Lam groans in frustration. Why is the end of this office often intruded in? Lam asks her interlocutor to turn on the video call.

Elly raised her eyes when she saw Lam's interlocutor. A dark red-haired girl with big eyes and an adorable little nose. Cute creatures like this how can being an acquaintance of the annoying staff beside him?

"Show her," Lam's pinta was immediately asserted by Chena. He pointed his rear camera at the young man who slept on Lam's sofa without even taking off his shoes.

Lam complained because it was exactly as she expected. That's Vino. "That's it, let him. Check if you wear contact lenses or not. If he doesn't wake up, you let him go. I think the box is in his pocket.."

"Hey, are you okay with this? You never even let me sit in your chair even though I was your friend for years!!"

"Whispering, Chena. I never let anyone sit in my chair and fall asleep on the couch. And he's exhausted. Just do what I ask. I even think you'll do better than that."

"Where do you know?" The camera had changed back to the front camera and showed the cute face of the red-haired girl who was moving her brows at Lam. Tease Elly to scratch it. Oh yeah, Elly noticed, rather watching their expressions.

"Ck, I know you, Chen. By."

Lam disconnects the call and turns her eyes on Elly. "Don't worry. Chena will take care of the boy."

Elly looked at Lam with carelessness. Lam raised one eyebrow not understanding.

"Does that kid have the ability to replace you?"

"Oh, Chena? We studied IT together for a long time. He was once the secretary of Mr. Ando because of his ability. But then he resigned because he felt he did not fit in with his job. Now he's just our cook's umpteenth assistant in the kitchen with a lot of free time. That's what he wanted."

Lam leaned her body after putting her phone on the dashboard. Closing his eyes, he shot a compliment at himself that could speak at length to the creature that several hours ago made him rise in blood.

Lam, unaware that her phone was taken over by Elly, fails to understand when Elly asks, "what's the password?"

"Huh?"

"Handphones."

Lam opened her eyes and looked at Elly strangely. "What makes you interested in my phone?"

"I'll give you my number. I think we'll be involved a lot from now on."

The real dead Elly held back the pounding of her heart fearing for the answer Lam. la was not even sure whether the stoic face she was now showing looked perfect or not. he just asked for Lam's number, for Christ's sake!

Lam took her phone from Elly's hand and handed it back after opening it. Beautiful forest wallpaper with a creek that welcomes the eyes of Elly and merta make it touched.

"I know that you're actually a gentle man" he murmured softly while smiling sincerely.

"What are you saying" Lam was stunned by the smile made by the owner of the face beside her. This annoying face with short hair that was often covered in sports hats and always wore this cynical or degrading expression turned out to have an amazing smile calmed his heart.
