Bab 125: Working is the First Priority

Kanae was extremely happy to be able to eat as much as she wanted. After the painful three days without appetite, she was already able to eat like before, so she didn't hold back anymore. Kevin also ate a lot beside her as Mike and Neo came over not long after that.

"You two look like children who don't get any food for days," Neo commented when he saw the amount of food these two ate on their plate.

"Working needs energy," Kevin answered simply.

Neo shrugged. If that was Kevin said then he would believe that after working for hours in front of his laptop, his Boss was extremely hungry. By the side, Mike already took a seat and started eating at a large amount.

Seeing how these three ate a large portion of foods everyday, he wondered if he was the one lacking in nutrition among the four of them. No! That won't do, he needed to eat a lot!

With that conviction, he started to take a lot of food and eat them with others.

"My, these children eat a lot."

"They are still in their growing period, so I think it's quite normal."

"Even if they are at their growing period, is there any need to eat a lot of food for breakfast?"

The people around them started to talk about them, but the four of them didn't care. They proceeded to clean up the foods on the table. It was a big table for 10 people, but the foods were finished by only four people. People were shaking their heads at the big appetite these teenagers showed.

"They are delicious," Kanae grinned.

"Are you sure you're eating them properly? You're eating like drinking with that speed," Neo commented.

"Even if I eat fast, I still can feel their taste very well."

"Then can you guess the ingredients?"

"Do you think I'm a chef?"

Kevin frowned when he saw that these two were going to go on debate for a long time. He didn't come here to hear them argued but for a business meeting with the other companies.

"Let's head to the suite."

"Alright Boss."

The four of them headed towards Kevin's suite. Kanae was stunned speechless when she saw the large room with a lot of furniture and decoration. Everything was prepared perfectly. She was sure that this room was at the same size as her classroom.

"This place is really big."

Neo shook his head. "You haven't seen the biggest one yet. Boss is just one of the medium company owners here, those who have the biggest company would have a bigger suite and so on."

When she heard the explanation, she felt that the world was truly big. However, it was hard for her to accept that those rooms were bigger than this place. For her, this was already very big for a room.

"I guess, those who are riches could get what they want very easily."

"You're right," Mike smiled. "Because of that, the others have their own way to deal with the situation even without money while those pampered ones don't know the way without any money."

Kanae giggled when she heard Mike's sarcastic remark. It was the same as saying that those who were born from rich families was relying on their money too much. Without money, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Those are truly the best description for those second generation young masters," Kanae smiled.

Mike nodded his head, but he didn't elaborate any further. He took out a bag with the laptop inside to Kanae. "This is for work. Boss will surely ask for your assistance, so be sure to help him, temporary secretary."

"Aye, Guard Mike," Kanae took the laptop and headed towards the table not far from Kevin.

Neo sighed as he plopped down to the sofa. "I'm now hoping those riches boss can come early to this cruise and lower our spending on this place. This is freaking expensive for a trip."

"We don't even pay the room because they are being prepared by the others," Mike reminded. "Stop trying to sound pitiful."

The one who was in charge of the fees were always Neo, so he was pretty sensitive to this topic. This was also the reason he knew that should they pay for the room, they wouldn't be able to work in ease. The price was simply too staggering.

"Let's just focus on the work and enjoying the ship. It was not every day we can spend the time to work in an expensive place like today."

Seeing that Mike also took out his laptop, Neo sighed loudly. He didn't want to work again. That boss already forced him to work until his hand felt like they were going off from his shoulder. It was heavy and it took him hours to make sure that they were able to move, yet at that time their Boss would just give them another batch of work to do.

Now that he had some time here, he wanted to have some rest. He looked towards Mike with expectation filled his eyes. "Can't we walk around for a bit? There are a lot of ladies around here. They're certainly eye candy."

The only girl he saw very often was Kanae and Kanae's appearance was modest at best. Because of that, he wanted to take a stroll around the place to be able to satisfy his eyes. He would not make any move, he just wished to see their alluring body and let his mind wandered a bit.

"If you want Boss to force you for another detention, you're free to go," Mike answered calmly.

Neo's face darkened. If he had to suffer the detention from Kevin, which consisted of him doing another batch of work and training, he would be better off not trying to do anything and did his work patiently. It was better than going through that hell again.

Aside from these two, Kanae was busy typing the words that Kevin instructed to her into the laptop. Her typing speed became much faster as she typed every word that Kevin said.

"Let me see," Kevin said after he finished his talk.

Kanae handed the laptop and Kevin checked the result. He nodded his head lightly when he saw that Kanae didn't have any trouble to type if he was talking the normal human's speed in talking.

"Make another file. Type anything that I say."

"Yes, Boss."

After finishing five different files, she was told by Kevin to arrange the sales from last month. Her eyes were staring at the diagram as she counted internally. There were a lot of diagrams that she needed to compare, but she had all day to work, so it was not a problem.

While thinking about that, Kanae continued her work and Kevin did the same. The luxurious cruise was treated like a mere change of atmosphere by this weird group of teenagers.


Bab 126: Jason Wells

Days pass smoothly and Kanae met with a lot of people from different companies. Truth to be told, she didn't know any of them, so her job was to memorize their name when they introduced themselves to Kevin. Seeing their luxurious clothes, Kanae was sure that many of them came from big companies.

Those from smaller companies came to the cruise first and they have to wait for the other bigger companies to come. Kevin was still considered medium, so they didn't have to wait for long until the four biggest families came to the ship.

"The Wells Family has come," Neo reported without moving his eyes from his laptop.

Kevin stopped his work and stood up. "Let's go greet them."

The other three nodded their head and walked towards the upper deck. When they saw the crowd, they knew that it would be impossible for them to break past the sea of human in front of them. They could only wait until those from Wells Family came towards them.

Before long, they saw two young men walked towards them. Their appearance was similar, but everyone knew that they were only cousin, not twins. They have black hair and fair skin. Added with their slender figure, they would not lose against those models.

When Kanae saw them, her brain blanked for a moment. She recognized one of them, and it surprised her very much because she didn't expect to see him in this place.

"Good morning, Young Master Jason," Kevin greeted calmly when one of the men came near him.

Jason Wells, the young master of Wells Family, smiled amiably when he saw Kevin and his group. His eyes showed traces of surprise, but it was quickly masked with his usual friendly and easygoing attitude.

"It's nice to meet you again, President Kevin."

The two of them already met with each other very often because Jason was in the same school as Kevin. He was the class representative of the third year and also the previous Student Council President. At that time, Kevin was the Vice President and they had worked together quite a lot of times.

"Let's talk again later. I still have a lot of works to do," Jason smiled.

Kevin nodded with an indifferent expression as usual. One might think he was being impolite, but Jason already knew about this man usual cold expression, so he didn't think it was weird.

After they walked away, Kane looked towards Kevin in confusion. "President knows him before this?"

"He's the former Student Council President in our school. Right now, he's already a third year."

"Ah…" Kanae finally understood how they knew each other. At the same time, she was stunned when she heard the word Student Council. Did it mean Kevin built his company while he was still busy with the work in the school? This man was truly something.

After that short greeting, they didn't linger in that place any longer or at least, it was their plan. Mike's eyes caught the sight of someone that they knew very well, a girl who wore revealing clothes like there was no end.

"How interesting, she comes again to our door," Mike said with a smile on his face.

Kanae followed his line of sight and stupefied when she saw Sheila standing not far from them. At this time, this girl was trying to flirt with someone else from a different company. Her eyes felt hurt. Did this girl have a hobby of flirting?

"How did she come here?" Kevin glanced towards Neo.

Seeing his cold gaze, Neo immediately opened his laptop and typing at fast speed. He searched for all the information regarding the trading company that Sheila's father had. In mere minutes, he had gathered a lot of information and passed them to Kevin.

"Sheila's father makes a deal with the Nali Family and they manage to save themselves from bankruptcy. In addition, Sheila is arranged for a marriage with one of the Young masters from Nali Family, but only from the branches."

Kevin listened to the explanation before nodding his head. The scandal might influence those small scale companies, but the four big families have their own way to deal with this matter. Even if the company they wanted to make a deal with has some problems, they could bind them and limit them. It was extremely easy for them, so once the four big families made a move, no one dared to interfere.

"Let's finish our work," Kevin turned around. Since one of the four big families have come, the others would surely follow suit. At that time, this place would be filled with their member and the meeting officially started.

Kevin led the other three to work. After spending hours to work, they heard another commotion that another family has come, but this time Kanae was not allowed to come.

"It's the Nali Family. You should just stay here," Kevin ordered.

Kanae nodded her head. She was looking towards Kevin in confusion. Didn't he want her to come so they could observe the situation in the Nali Family with her clashing with them? However, seeing that they have gone out, she didn't try to ask more about it.

On the other hand, Neo and Mike also felt some confusion, but they didn't ask anything to their Boss. If Kevin didn't want to see Kanae clashed on the very first day, they wouldn't bother.

"I'll head to the dining room first, Okay?"

"Sure."

With that, Kanae walked to the dining room and saw that the room was filled with people from different companies. Most of them wore expensive clothes. Compared to her, she looked like a country bumpkin among the crowd.

"Time to eat," Kanae sat down on their usual table when someone bumped her from the back.

"Oh, sorry, I don't see anyone."

The man halfheartedly apologized and used his handkerchief to wipe his hand as if touching Kanae was a big disgrace. Kanae's smile turned colder, but she didn't do anything. Those people from the rich families were used to treat those from the lower family with scorn, so she would not think it was weird.

She calmly nodded her head and stuffed her mouth with the food without care. The man looked towards Kanae with scorn before walking away. People like Kanae was not supposedly been here was his opinion.

"Oh, so you're the new Student Council Vice President?" Jason walked over and sat down in front of Kanae.

Kanae frowned when she saw him as she nodded her head lightly. "Is there anything I can do for you, Young Master Jason?"

Jason picked the apple in front of him and ate it calmly. "I just want to greet an old friend from the same school."

"Don't say that when you never talk to me in the school."

"Do you want me to approach you in the school?"

"Nope," Kanae answered and took the food again. Her nonchalant attitude caused others to feel awed and shock. After all, they all knew who Jason was, but she just talked to him with calm and light tone as if she was facing an ordinary person. Just who this girl was?

Jason shook his head lightly. He munched the apple on his hand slowly. "The Nali Family is going to come. If you clash with them, the result won't be pretty."

"Its fine, I have long waited to meet with them again," Kanae answered calmly.

As the member of the four big families, of course Jason knew very well their attitude towards those from the branch families. This was the reason he knew that Kanae didn't have a good relationship with the Nali main family. That fight in school was quite famous.

"Well, then good luck my fellow junior."

"Thank you," Kanae paused for a moment before continuing, "senior."

Jason Wells nodded his head and walked away. This time, the other people around here were looking at this seemingly poor girl with bewilderment. How did she know the famous Jason Wells? They couldn't connect the dot at all.

Towards these people, Kanae paid no heed as she was busy eating her food.
