"Excuse me, I'm Ailian's colleague! Ailian was just joking, that's just a part-time job role..."
Fortunately, at this moment, Ling, who had finished repairing the network cable, finally came back. Because she had been wearing headphones, she also knew what had happened.
"Ha, hahaha, ah, so that's it! I understand, I definitely didn't misunderstand anything, you guys go ahead and get busy..."
Ruby started silencing everyone with an awkward tone. Seeing this, Zhe looked at Ellen beside him helplessly.
"Um, do you want me to explain it in writing?"
"No, no thanks. It's so embarrassing... I'll explain it to them face to face later."
Ailian covered her face with her hands. She was not prepared for what happened just now. As for Zhe, it was not appropriate for her to say anything at that time.
Otherwise, there will only be two situations. One is not to reveal your identity and directly help explain. Then there is a high probability that the three girlfriends will think that you are the master mentioned by Ailian.
While that's certainly true, Airen has called Zhe that way quite a few times...
The second is to state your identity directly. This way, even if you are mistakenly thought to be playing some weird Prey game, there won't be any problem, after all, the relationship between the two is legitimate.
However, this might be thought by the three girlfriends that I gave up the group discussion with them because I had to accompany my boyfriend, which is also very troublesome.
The two continued to move forward, and soon after they dealt with another wave of Ikai, Ruby's voice suddenly came from the communication.
"Ai, Ailian, what happened over there?"
"Huh? Nothing?"
"I heard it! I just turned off the mute function for everyone, and then I heard a loud noise coming from your microphone!"
"Uh……"
Ailian was just thinking of what excuse to use to get away with it when Mona's worried voice came over.
"Ellen?"
"…Just some minor inconveniences I encountered while working."
"Was that sound just now just a minor nuisance?"
Mona wasn't reassured by Ellen's explanation, instead her tone became even more skeptical, and Ruby's words trembled as she mustered up the courage.
"Don't be afraid, Ai Ai Lian, we will help you!"
It seems that there has been another misunderstanding. There is no way, Ling, please explain it again.
"Ah...it's me again, Airen's colleague. Airen and I were just compiling a documentary about the cavity disaster."
“How can a documentary have such a real voice?”
"Where I work... the boss is quite wealthy, and the sound equipment is very good."
"No! How can a documentary not even have background music? This is wrong!"
Ruby had just uttered her doubts when Ellen quickly responded by humming the background music. It was so adorable. If the timing hadn't been inappropriate, Zhe would have wanted to do something exciting.
(By the way, the actual EP that Ailian sang during this part is her own.)
"You hummed this yourself, Ailian? You must have hummed it yourself, right?"
"No, this is the background music from before. I can even hum it. Didn't you hear it?"
Ailian chose to continue playing dumb, and with Ling's help, he managed to fool the situation temporarily.
"Okay, my part-time job is almost over, and I need to get ready to go out... and take care of some loose ends. I'll catch up with you guys later. Bye."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Ailian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah...it's finally over. Although I still have to go find them after I leave the Hollow to continue discussing homework topics."
Compared to fighting Yi Hai, dealing with the three of them seems to be more tiring.
"Master, the data storage has been read, but after verification, it is found that one file is missing. It is determined that the missing file is not here."
Just as she was about to leave, Fairy's voice came from the communication, and Ailian was also confused after hearing it.
"The designated recycling location that Boss Lycan gave me is indeed here. I'll go back and confirm it. Thank you very much for this time."
"You're welcome, but instead of just saying thank you, shouldn't you..."
Zhe pointed to his face and said this. Seeing this, Ailian didn't say much, but just walked in front of him, stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
"Well, I'm very satisfied with the commission. If you need anything later, please remember to come to us. I'm also a little curious, how could Ailian become friends with someone with such a different personality?"
"Hmm... there's no reason why. It just happened without me noticing. If you really want to know, I'll tell you later. I'm leaving now."
After leaving the cave, Ailian left quickly, and Zhe was planning to return to the video store, but he saw an acquaintance on the way.
Chapter 342: Evelin trembles during the meeting (just trying to suppress her laughter)
"Is that Evelyn? Is she in trouble? Why does Master Dingman look a little angry..."
Zhe looked at the two people standing in front of a coffee shop not far away and decided to go over and take a look. (Robots are also people)
"One cup of eight-strength black coffee, no sugar, no milk, please."
"...Eight times the strength? Ma'am, with all due respect, this coffee has absolutely no flavor at all."
"Don't worry about the taste, I just really need caffeine."
Although Evelyn insisted, Master Dingman rejected her request. After all, this was close to the safe drinking range for normal humans.
What's more, in Master Tinman's view, the meaning of coffee is not just to refresh oneself. It is a taste and enjoyment, not a tool to drive away sleepiness.
"I'm sorry, I can't make you a drink that goes against the nature of coffee."
"..."
Evelin was silent, looking a little distressed, and Zhe saw the tired look on her face and the faint dark circles under her eyes and immediately saw the reason.
“Is Evelyn sleepy?”
"Well... I have some important work to do soon, so I can't get sleepy no matter what.
By the way, Zhe is familiar with Master Dingman, right? Please help me convince him, I really need this cup of coffee.
"Then you have to tell me the truth, how long has it been since you last slept?"
“…58 hours.”
Evelyn, you are a superman after working so hard for 58 hours!
However, it was impossible to go on without coffee, so Zhe asked Master Dingman for a cup of four times stronger coffee, and the master reluctantly agreed.
While waiting, Zhe held Evelyn's hand with her consent and used his innate ability on her.
Although I know that she may have long been accustomed to such work intensity, I still can't help but worry.
"It's so warm, and my body doesn't seem so tired anymore. It's amazing..."
"Well, maybe it's just psychological."
In response to Evelin’s doubts, Zhe just smiled, but with the former’s intelligence, he could obviously guess that things were not that simple.
But she didn't ask any more questions. At this time, the coffee was ready and the two of them came to the river.
"Well, the black coffee is four times stronger, but it still tastes so mellow. I can understand why he's so bad-tempered."
After tasting the coffee, Evelyn was amazed.
"If it were me, I would be angry too, and Evelin really doesn't care about herself."
"Hmm...I see. But it really can't be helped. This kind of work always gets like this when it gets busy.
Miss Lian stayed up all night. I still need to contact the other company about the filming materials before I can feel at ease.
Evelin responded to Zhe's words in a slightly weaker tone. She had never been able to take her actions for granted for those who cared about her.
"Four times the concentration... I don't know if it will work. I feel like I can fall asleep any minute now."
"Then I'll take up the remaining four times."
"You mean, do you want me to stay with you until the end of the meeting? Would that bother you too much? Actually, I'm fine without you having to worry about it."
"I'm sorry, I can't put Evelyn down or anything."
After hearing Zhe’s words, Evelin was slightly stunned, but in the end she did not refuse.
"I can't beat you, alright. But you know I'm trained, right?"
"Ok?"
"That is to say, if you wake me up when I'm in a trance, I'll probably instinctively fight back..."
"It's okay, I'm pretty tough."
"...I don't doubt your strength, but please dodge or take it if you can. If I hurt you, I'll be very troubled."
Evelin didn't take Zhe's joking words seriously, but after thinking about it, she made a decision.
"I'm actually... very ticklish. If you tickle me, I probably won't do anything extreme.
So later in the meeting, if you notice my eyes starting to wander, do it, don’t hesitate.”
When she said this, her face turned slightly red, but her tone was firm.
"It's very important. I must stay awake for the online meeting. Please."
Afterwards, in order to stay awake, Evelin stood throughout the meeting, and she talked freely on the phone... Is this a business elite?
However, as the meeting drew to a close, I couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness...
Seeing this, Zhe also followed Evelin's previous warning and stretched out his hand to scratch the latter's palm.
Evelin then trembled and woke up from her sleepiness. It seemed that it took a lot of effort not to laugh out loud.
"Hmm! Um... Hehe, you're right. It's indeed a pleasant collaboration. I'll be waiting for you to send me the finished product later!"
As the call ended, Evelin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhe beside her.
"Phew! Perfect! Thank you so much, quadruple strength coffee."
Evelyn's favorability increased by 5 points, and the current favorability is 90 points. The emotional value gained is 500 points, and the current emotional value is 43100 points.
"Is Evelyn really ticklish? She seems so calm."
"How could that be? Actually, I really wanted to burst out laughing just now, but we were in a meeting after all, so I held it back."
Evelin seemed to think of something after she said this, and then felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh, by the way, I have a favor to ask. You're the only one who knows that I'm ticklish, so please don't tell anyone else.
After all, as a security officer, it is unacceptable to have such a weakness."
"That's what I should do, but you have to promise me to go back to bed right away."
Zhe would naturally keep the secret, but he could not change his firm attitude towards the second half of the request.
"Well, I promise you. I won't force myself again today, don't worry."
After saying this, Evelin relaxed completely and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Heh~, it's time to go to sleep. After finishing my work, I felt sleepy instantly."
To ensure her safety, Zhe accompanied Evelyn all the way and finally returned to the video store.
……
A few days passed like this, and Zhe went out to do some things.
On the way back, she wanted to take the subway to Guangying Plaza, but at the exit of the station, Ailian was surrounded by three good girlfriends with an embarrassed look on her face.
“Airen!! It’s Airen…right?!!”
Ruby spoke first, looking at Ellen in front of her in a maid outfit with a shocked tone. The latter obviously did not expect this situation.
"Sorry, you got the wrong person. My name is... uh, my name is Butler."
That was the name of Bomb in Victoria Housekeeping, but it was obvious that the trick that Elaine tried to use to get away with it could not fool the three of them at all.
"It's obviously Elen! Your tail is unique!"
Chapter 343 Are we also part of your Prey? !
"Eren...why are you here in a maid outfit? Are you in trouble?"
