The Hero of Bugs: Players
HOBs: Intermediate player | 128 |

As usual, Old Man Hendra is a person who does not like to see his people sitting still and unemployed. He then immediately divided and told his new members to help.

"What are you doing Malika? Why do you keep following me?"

"Sister, why are you sneaking around as if trying to disappear and escape. Hasn't our chairman asked to help him? Why is it that you try to run from him."

"Not so Malika. I couldn't have done it. I have an appointment with someone now, and our business matters even more."

After all, there were already too many people there, plus he himself was the one who called many famous architects and designers to rebuild his club. What's the point of us all being there then?

"Eh...? My brother was a very busy man too. After you pick us up, you're gonna meet a guy for business, huh?"

I scrunched my forehead, why would Malika know that. And why is it that all of a sudden Malika's voice has become heavier now. No. gabe. Something's not right here. I immediately turned around and found Andy who was laughing a little while covering the smile in his mouth.

"I told you to wait in the usual place. Why are you even here? Do you want us to break the contract?"

"Ti-No. I'm sorry..."

"Sister Evans. Who's the guy?"

It could be bad if Old Man Hendra sees us here. The escape route would also be messy, so I immediately pulled the two people into my sedan car.

We were now in a nearby cafe renting a simple meeting room.

"Oho? So you are, uh, Evans' level brother. You're sweet too, how old are you now?"

"Ah, thank you uncle. I'm nine years old now."

"Uncle?"

"I'm sorry, if I wasn't wrong before. Uncle's name is Andy, right? Uncle is also quite handsome and charming person."

"What! Is that really Malika?!"

"of course. Uncle must be a pretty popular guy, right?"

"I-I guess you're right. I didn't realize that at all. Thanks Malika..."

Andy looked very happy and timid there. He rubbed his nose repeatedly using his forefinger and left.

They look close and getting more familiar now. I watched their casual chatter while chugging a cup of coffee on the table while Malika sat right beside me and faced Andy in front of her.

I don't know and am quite surprised right now. Malika turned out to be quite an expert at getting the hearts of those around her. So far I have observed Malika's cheerful and always smiling attitude, in the future I am sure she will grow into a female figure who is famous and easily captivating among men.

"Right, I'm a news chief of a local news industry branch."

"really? Cool! What's uncle's name?"

"So that... Well, that... A-news!"

Andy directs Malika who is opening the screen of her system on the Tower website. Actually I don't want to disturb them there, but if this keeps going then it'll never be finished and we'll be home until late at night.

"Ehem! You're both. Can we get started right away. So Malika shut up for a second, and you and Andy calm down a little."

"Sorry..."

"Sorry..."

"So what about the development now?"

"It's all done. Tomorrow we can start working on the project because everyone has agreed."

I nodded and smiled hearing it.

Convincing everyone to believe, must be very difficult and takes a short time to do it.

"Now we have to choose who will occupy the position of leadership and supervisor there."

"If so, I guess I'll choose you. You're going to be in charge there now."

"What?! Me? But I've been the head of the news at a small news branch."

"You refused? Who else is worthy there? If I am, I'm sorry but I can't do it either because there's something I need to take care of before."

"U-Uh. Is that so...?"

"Uncle... I think you're a very suitable person here."

"But Malika that's not enough you know."

"Uncle. Please look at Sister Evans' face now."

'Wait what?'

Our views then met. Andy looked at me for a long time and closed his eyes. He seemed to think long and seriously.

"Didn't you see it?"

"M-Hm! I gotta admit I saw it. Shit!"

I really don't know what's going on here. But I think it's good enough that if it continues, even I don't have to use the plan I've prepared.

"No! I shouldn't have turned him down here. Because this is actually an honor for me.

With my leadership, we will be able to produce extraordinary wealth. And our company will be the best.

Now, you just need to think of his name and leave everything to me later. What do you think of that, Malika?"

"really. That's how uncle should be, you're amazing."

After Andy got back excited with Malika's support, I immediately cut him off here.

"You better decide it, it's your first assignment."

"uh? Then..."

"Now the most important. How long do you expect the project to be completed?"

"I'm not so sure. But I'll make sure in four months lag-No. Three months then-"

"Two months. I'll wait for the results from you.

"E-Eeeh, I think it was a bit..."

Andy scratched his hair and smiled awkwardly.

It's a little impossible, but I have to keep putting unreasonable limits in order to make him more motivated so that Andy can bring out all his abilities.

There using Malika again, I'll make Andy accept it.

"What do you think of that Malika?"

"K-I guess that sounds really mean and cruel. I think you should put him down, Ev-Aw! Aw! Nah! It hurts!

K-Ka-You have to accept it uncle, I'm very confident in your ability. After all, uncle has had previous experience of leading in small news industry offices.

I'm sure uncle, if this is when you shine and show uncle's true abilities.

Although from the outside, this office looks very large and will be troublesome. But I really believe in you!"

"You're right, I can't let you two down!"

Andy then accepted it and I thanked Malika.

The three of us then split up there. Malika and I walked out to the parking lot.

"You're hurting me, Mr. Evans. Why are you pinching my stomach?"

Malika who came out, still rubbed her right abdomen while grimacing occasionally.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. You want some sushi tonight?"

By shifting the subject, Malika then quickly forgot all about it and returned smiling.

- Business.
