Chapter 37: Small World

After they had got out of the principal office, Kanae stopped her feet and look towards Kevin, "It's easier than I thought."

"The principal is always like that," Kevin remarked.

"This is my first time meeting him."

Kevin nodded his head. "You'll meet with him again in the future for our work in the Student Council. He won't bother reading them, but if we fail the event, he won't accept them anymore."

Even without reading the proposal, the principal already agreed to their plan. It just showed how much he believed in them, so he would not interfere in their work. However, should they fail; there was no doubt that they wouldn't be able to do the same anymore.

"Will he change the member forcefully?" Kanae asked curiously.

Kevin didn't know. "There's that possibility, but you don't have to think so much about it."

"I know, we just need to do good work."

At that point, they arrived back in the Student Council Room. Neo was still sleeping soundly, and the others hadn't gone back to the room.

Kanae looked at the clock for a moment. "I think it's time for me to work. Thank you very much for today. See you tomorrow, President."

Kevin nodded and Kanae waved her hand as she walked out of the room. His eyes moved to the still sleeping Neo before he kicked the chair, making the sleepy boy woke up.

"What is it? Ah, President, you have returned?"

"It's time to work."

Neo hurriedly fixed his posture. "You're really fast. Did the principal said anything?"

"He didn't. Let's go."

"Wait, I need to call Mike first!"

"You have 5 minutes."

"I understand!" Neo bolted out from the room to the training hall. He needed to call Mike as soon as possible to avoid the punishment from Kevin.

At that time, Kanae finally arrived in her workplace. Her eyes watched the building not far from her working place. There were some construction trucks passed by the store.

"Old Man, I have returned," Kanae greeted.

The Old Man was currently reading a newspaper when Kanae came in. He looked up from the paper and flashed her a broad smile.

"Hello, Kanae."

"Is there anyone moving around here?" she pointed to the trucks outside.

"Moving? Maybe you mean that big building over there. The Kale Company is expanding its business," the Old Man handed the newspaper to Kanae.

She looked at the headline and smiled wryly. It seemed like she was the only one who didn't know that the building of Kale Company was located near her workplace. From the news, she knew that they had just got another big project and profit.

"President is really amazing," Kanae commented.

The Old Man raised his eyebrows, "President? Did you get work in the company?"

That sounded like impossible because he knew that she always came here after school. If she really managed to snatch a job in that company, she wouldn't bother coming to this place at all.

"No, I did not. The owner of this company is our Student Council President," Kanae explained. She found herself at lost with her explanation. Why did it feel impossible when she voiced it out? It was just a fact, but when being said, they felt unnatural.

However, the Old Man's reaction was out of her expectation. He believed her word as he looked startled. He proceeded to ask, "You enroll in Nolen School?"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Kanae looked towards the Old Man with a confused expression. She was sure that she told him about her school before. Besides, Nolen School was the biggest school in this city and more than half of the children enrolled there.

"There are three Nolen School in this city. Which one did you enroll, A, B, or C?" the Old Man asked again.

"It's C. After all, the one with the lowest requirement to enter is C," Kanae answered.

She didn't have much interest in going to high school in the first place but tried to enroll by doing the test. As the result, she managed to get into the Nolen School C without paying any fees. It was the worst among the three schools, but she didn't really care about it.

The Old Man nodded his head. It was his mistake for thinking that she enrolled in Nolen School A because of her intelligence. Most of the smart and capable students would pick the Nolen School A since the Nolen School C was the one with the lowest passing grade and requirement.

"With your intelligence, it's a shame that you didn't enroll in Nolen School A."

"If I did, I would not get the chance to work here," Kanae reasoned. Misae intelligence was indeed lower, so she didn't pick the A. This was also the reason the two of them still together after they graduated from Junior High.

Although the Nolen School C was the poorest, the name of Nolen School itself was the biggest school in this city. People trusted this school much more compared with other schools. It made the Nolen School became the first option for applying to most students.

"True enough," the Old Man agreed.

The other three who have company to manage might also think the same. They needed to work and couldn't always come to the class. From what she has known so far, they kept on skipping the class as she always found them in the Student Council Room. The Nolen School C provided this option for them and granted them the freedom to do that.

"By any chance, do you know our Student Council President?" Kanae asked.

"I do," the Old Man answered, "I have met with him."

The Old Man seemed reluctant to tell more, so Kanae didn't pester the information any longer. At that time, customers pouring in, so she had to move around to deliver their order. After a few hours, her work finally finished.

"I'll surely miss this place when you go away later, Old Man," Kanae remarked when the place was more silent.

The Old Man nodded his head. "I'll surely miss you too. Don't you want to try searching for another work from now?"

Kanae shook her head. "The streets are growing dangerous lately. I don't want to loiter around too much."

"You're right," the Old man nodded his head. The news has been reporting more dangerous events on the street lately. He wouldn't want to have the little lass got hurt.

"Now that you mention it, are you alright walking to your home?"

"I'm good, Old Man," Kanae smiled. She looked towards the clock. "I think it's already the time for me to go. See you tomorrow, Old Man."

The Old Man waved his hand. After Kanae disappeared from his view, he thought about the conversation from before. He rubbed his chin, "So the one that young man chooses as the Vice President is Kanae… It seems this is really a small world."


Chapter 38: As the Princess from Nali Family, Of Course She’s Very Valuable

Nolen School C, Student Council Room

It was easy for Kanae to get permission to skip the classes. Because of her exceptional grade and her position as the Student Council Vice President, they allowed her to not join the class at all. However, when she arrived in the Student Council Room to start the preparation for the Halloween Party, she saw someone unexpected; Sakura.

Sakura was standing near Kevin with sparkling eyes. It seemed as if she enjoyed this very much.

"Good morning everyone," Kanae simply greeted them before walking to her own table for work.

Neo looked towards the three people gathered at the front and wondered. "Why does it seem that our president is making a harem?"

"Neo, if I'm you, I won't make that kind of remark," Mike smiled wryly.

In the next second, Kevin stood up and handed a file towards Neo. "Finish this along with the preparation of the place."

"Isn't this the material for the presentation tomorrow?"

"That's why you have to finish them. You're representing our company," Kevin answered nonchalantly.

With no other option, Neo took the file and started to browse through them. He was only saying that as a joke, there was no need to act so seriously, okay? Fine, he knew that he needed to finish the work in the company too. Being a student and work at the same time was tedious.

"Sakura, go to the field with Mike and ask the boys to help out."

"Okay," Sakura was unwilling, but she put out her best coquettish voice she could muster before walking out from the room with Mike. On the side, Kanae wondered what did that little princess did to make her voice sent goose bump to other people?

"President, is she going to help us?" Kanae asked.

Kevin nodded his head. "She's the small leader in the second year, so she can make the boys work for her."

Kanae nodded her head. Sakura was pretty and came from a rich family, so she was sure that many people tried to get close with that girl. Who wouldn't want to have a partner like that? She was the dream girl for many of the boys.

"I have finished making the design for the banner. Do you want to see them first?"

Kevin nodded his head. He walked to behind Kanae and scrolled the design using the mouse. Kanae made it simple, but it was interesting with the colorful layer and so on. Feeling a bit uncomfortable with his face beside her, she moved the chair a bit to let Kevin got more space.

"What do you think Pres?"

"It's good enough. I'll put it into the software then you bring them to print."

"I understand."

While the two of them worked in this matter, the field was filled with the boys from the second year who were eager to help Sakura. They wanted to impress this princess from their class.

"Let's start moving the items," Mike simply said and started to instruct the boys to move most of the items into the hall. The main party was going to be the hall, but they would use the field for additional tables and so on.

Under the glaring sun, the boys started to work around. Even if they were supposed to stay in the class because they were not over yet, no one wanted to return. For them, helping their little princess was more important compared with the lesson.

"I'm sure the second-year teachers are going to cry if they see their class empty," Misae commented. She came to the field right after her own class was over, which made Alice got left behind. She was curious about the preparation because she heard that they would start moving the tables and stage today.

Mike nodded his head. "They're the best free worker around."

"It seems so," Misae's gaze landed on Sakura. She still hated the other party very much because that girl was simply too arrogant and looked down on others very much. However, she knew that Sakura had what was needed to make these boys followed after her unconditionally; beautiful face and good background family.

"She can be quite charismatic at times," Mike commented as he flipped the paper on his hand to make sure that they got all the items they required.

"I think you mean charm," Misae said with annoyed tone.

Hearing that, Mike was stunned. He smiled afterward. "You're correct. It's more suitable to use the word charm."

Misae looked towards the smiling face boy beside her. Her heart was beating fast thanks to his handsome face. She complained internally why the Student Council members have a good face. Still, they were good eye candy for her.

"Misae, you're too fast," Alice arrived while gasping for breath. When it came to boys, Misae wouldn't care about anything as she burst forth. Unfortunately, Alice didn't have the same conviction, so she could only follow from behind.

Misae grinned. "I'm curious about the construction. Besides, I'm not the only one who comes quickly for this event."

Alice moved her gaze and saw that there were a lot of students from other classes here too. Many of them were staring towards Sakura while the others were looking towards Mike or the moving items.

"It's more like their intention is the same with you."

"What are you talking about?" Misae pretended that she didn't know. After all, the reason why she came here was right beside her.

Alice giggled. She noticed that Kevin and Kanae have come as the two of them walked towards them with a batch of paper.

"How's the work so far, Mike?" Kevin asked.

Mike pointed to the hall. "It's pretty good. The students are mostly very cooperative."

Sakura noticed that Kanae had come. She wanted to wear a smug face, but her face instead darkened when she saw that Kanae stood with Kevin beside her. Although it was only because of her position, Sakura hated to see Kanae got close with her target so much.

She approached them. "Senior, what do you think of the work?"

"It's good," Kevin answered in monotone voice.

Hearing that, Sakura was not disheartened. She tried all mean she could think of to talk with Kevin until he dismissed her and told her to work.

"President is as unapproachable as always," Kanae commented.

Mike smiled again. "That's president for you. Work is always the first priority in his life."

Misae nodded her head. "It seems satisfying to see Sakura get rejected like that."

"I'll be more surprised if President accepts her when they have only met a few times," Kanae shook her head lightly.

When she heard that, Misae shrugged. "She's beautiful and pretty, so I think that most students try to get close to her because of that."

Kanae looked towards the field. Some of the boys tried to get close to Sakura, but they were held back by the guards.

"She's princess of the Nali Family," Kanae said calmly. "Of course, she's very valuable."

The others couldn't be more agreed to that. After a few seconds, Kanae handed the paper to Mike. "This is the additional work for you. I have work again after this."

"I understand."
