TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
Chapters 271. Pick up Zero

Aluna is preparing materials for the meeting this afternoon. He's very busy, and so is Alvin. Some potential investors are already waiting in the conference room, they will hold a general meeting of shareholders.

"Luna, is the proposal over you?" alvin asked while busy signing some documents.

"The President. I'll hand it over later to the minutes. There are some important points to discuss later. I'm sure the investors will be interested in putting shares in our company" Aluna said, handing over some of the documents she just printed from the computer.

"Your work is very good, there's no doubt about it, Aluna. I really like the way you work. Maybe after this you will build your own company," said Alvin a little teasing.

"You don't praise me too often. I can misbehave later."

"It is precisely because I like it when you are misbehaving," said Alvin again trying to ignore his work for a moment.

Alvin brought his face closer. Staring intensely at Aluna. However, Aluna keeps her distance instead asking Alvin to look at the watch in her hand. "Alvin, the meeting's about to start."

Alvin looked at the clock in his hand. It turned out to be one o'clock in the afternoon. That's a sign the meeting will start in ten minutes and they should be there before it starts.

"I almost forgot everything. All right let's go to the conference room now."

"No, Alvin. You go first. I want to go to the toilet for a second. Just five minutes. I wanted to tell Sinta first so that she would just wait at the hotel" Aluna said.

Alvin nodded. Because he had to go to the conference room for a meeting, he finally left alone.

In the toilet, Aluna tried to contact Sinta. But alas, at that time he was receiving a call from Clara. Automatically make Aluna calls can not connect.

"Is there no signal here?"

Aluna couldn't linger and she thought there was no signal on her phone. He also decided to go out. Before leaving, Aluna had read a message from Noah that the fingerprint on the knife he was carrying had come out. Aluna immediately contacted Noah that very second.

Who did it exactly?

Tut, tuti.

"Ah shit don't connect anymore! Maybe it's true here there doesn't seem to be a signal."

Phone connection not connected. There was no signal like Aluna had expected. Instead, Noah deliberately turned off his phone. Well, he deliberately turned it off last night because he didn't want Lisa to keep terrorizing him.

"Ah, I'd better get to the conference room now."

Aluna continued to grumble. His mind was very curious about the results of the fingerprints on the knife he found. If he can uncover who the killer Luna is, the System will automatically provide a bag of advice that he will use to speed up time in the novel world. That means he will be freed with the task of the system and will return quickly to the real world.

Aluna looked again at the clock in her hand. Five minutes were over, he had to quickly enter the conference room to accompany Alvin.

***

Elsewhere in the kindergarten where Zero went to school. All the students were making storks out of origami paper. It looks like Zero and his friends are very focused and they really enjoy the manufacturing process.

"Look, Master San. My stork is pink. Pretty like me, right?"

One of the female students showed her work to a female teacher. Followed by Zero's other friends. They not only make it with origami paper, but also decorate it with colored markers to make it more beautiful.

"My mountain is more beautiful. See I deliberately made a gradation on his wing. I'll give it to my friend later, Teacher San," Zero said unwillingly.

Zero's work is the best, the pattern is very beautiful compared to the work of his friends. Zero had already made ten storks with different gradation colors. The plan was that he would give it to Sindi later if they met.

"You are truly beautiful" said his friends in amazement.

"I'll give it to Sindi. My friend when I lived in the village. The color of this stork is the same as the clothes that Sindi wore when helping me first. And this one is Sindi's favorite color."

Zero continues to show his amazing work. All the children were amazed, and so was the teacher. Praise that Zero is talented in the field of painting.

"You're great. Your friend must love it, Zero," teacher San said in praise.

When they are doing their work. A school guard walked in, walked up to teacher Zero and whispered in her ear.

Teacher San was immediately summoned outside the classroom. Apparently there was a Zero family who was going to pick up the little boy. She is Lily and Yuze.

"Sorry, who are you?" ask Master San.

"We are Zero's uncle and aunt. We came to ask permission to take Zero home before her study hours were over. His parents are out of town and we have to deliver them now. We are afraid to miss the flight hours we ordered a few hours ago, if we have to wait for the study hours to end," Lily said.

Teacher Zero looked foreign to the two. He remembers that Aluna had told him not to let Zero come back except with her. Zero's teacher resolutely refuses Lily and Yuze's request to bring Zero home.

"You can't make unilateral decisions. Don't you know that our family is a distinguished family here. I could've sued this school because it had complicated the permit because there was a sudden need."

Yuze said firmly while pointing at teacher San's face with his index finger. Teacher San fixed on his stance would not let Zero go home other than with Aluna.

"Can't Mr and Mrs. It's my job to look after Zero. Mrs Luna won't let anyone pick up Zero but her own. If there's no need, I'm sorry I have to go back to class. Because my students' study hours aren't over."

It wasn't Yuze's name that he had given up. Because of this at school there was no way he would get angry and make a fuss. Seeing teacher Zero return to class again. Lily and Yuze had another way. That is, go to the principal directly.

In the principal's office, Lily explains that they are having a very important family event out of town. So, he had to quickly bring Zero home. The headmaster initially weighed their request and had rejected it in a subtle way.

However, when the principal learns of Zero's identity that he is the granddaughter of a famous wealthy noble family, he allows Zero to return home. Because seeing Lily and Yuze are her uncle and aunt. The headmaster thought, there's no way they're doing anything bad to Zero.

"Zero's guidance counselor wouldn't let us take my niece home. We'd like to ask you for help in person, given that our family event is about to begin. We have to go to the airport right now" Yuze said with a serious and reassuring look.

The headmaster finally called teacher San into the office and told him to bring Zero along.

"Teacher San, they are his uncle and aunt. Let them bring Zero home" the principal said firmly.

Teacher San looked down respectfully. Honestly, he disagreed at all. He promised Aluna. Teacher San also politely replied that he disagreed.

"Teacher San I'm the principal here. So you have to obey if you still want to teach in this school."

The headmaster's words made Teacher San a dilemma.
