Chapter 446: Amanda’s Request
( The next day, real world, Arc Ship )
The next day as Leo returned back to his apartment for a dreaded mental meditation session after doing his morning inspection rounds, he was surprised to see Amanda sitting outside the entrance to his apartment waiting for him.
“Hey babe–” Amanda said sweetly when she saw him, as for a moment, Leo’s heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile.
“Hey ba…. Amanda” Leo said, as although he wanted to say ‘babe’, the inner man inside him would not let him say something so cringe when in public.
“Pfft…” Amanda burst outughing when she saw how blushed Leo was only from her calling him babe, as she was reminded why she loved him so much in the first ce.
“Come in–” Leo said, opening the door to his apartment, as only then did he realize that no-one apart from him could enter his apartment, as it only opened after reading the key on his ankle bracelet, but apparently those rules did not seem to apply to arc ship operators.
“Sorry toe here unannounced, but I just missed you so much! With the demon war on-going I’m just too busy within the game world and don’t even have time to breathe there.
I just needed to blow some steam off today” Amanda said, as although Leo was sympathetic to her condition, he internally started to calcte every second that he was losing to this interaction, as he was supposed to meditate right now. Since the scroll rmended 6 hours of daily meditation, Leo did not want to break his streak by taking a day off, however, if Amanda stayed here too long, he might be forced to undertake a reduced session today, or force himself toplete the 6 hours break free.
“So…. Luke told me back at the guild that you met your mom? How did that go? Did you tell her about me?” Amanda said excitedly, climbing onto Leo’s bed in his room, as she sat against the support of the wall, listening intently to what Leo had to say.
“Well yeah, I did tell her about you…. She’s actually quite eager to meet you” Leo replied, scratching his neck as he tried to recall his mother’s exact reaction to the news that he had a girlfriend.
Since Elena mostly looked excited, Leo portrayed it as good news, which made Amanda extremely satisfied.
“Well nice….. I want your mother to like me…. From how much you and Luke care about her, she seems to be a really nice person and I’d love to bond with her as well” Amanda said, as this statement by her moved Leo’s heart slightly.
It was this temperament of Amanda that made him feelfortable around her, as she was the only non-family member that he deeply cared about.
“I’m sure that will be nice” Leo approved, as he gestured for Amanda to snuggle into his arms.
For a while, the duo did nothing but enjoy each other’s warmth, until Amanda broke thefortable silence with an awkward question.
“Babe…. By the way, are you really friends with the Boss guy?” Amanda asked out of the blue, as Leo immediately raised an eyebrow at the question.
Had it been anyone else asking him this, Leo would have outright denied any connection between Leo Skyshard and ‘TheBoss’, however, since it was Amanda asking, he admitted to knowing the guy.
“Yeah, I know him babe, why?” Leo said, as Amanda moved out of his arms and looked him in the eyes.
“I’m only asking this as a courtesy to the guildmaster, but do you think you can fix a meeting between Cervantez and ‘TheBoss’?
The guildmaster has been trying to get a hold of that guy forever and after histest global announcement, the guildmaster seems to consider him even more important than before.
I feel like if you make it happen, the guildmaster will owe you one….. so just think about it” Amanda suggested, as Leo instantly figured out that it was Cervantez who had put Amanda up to this discussion.
*Sigh*
Sighing, Leo looked towards the room’s ceiling as he thought about what to say?
Initially he wanted to deny the meeting, however, looking at how desperate Cervantez seemed to meet ‘TheBoss’ since day one, Leo now wondered if granting him one meeting was really that bad or not.
“Fine…. I’ll ask ‘TheBoss’ for it. But most likely he will ask Cervantez toe meet him at the CrestHill Barony manor.
So if your boss wants to meet ‘The Boss’ he will need to travel a fair bit–” Leo said, as Amanda excitedly gave him a kiss on the cheek and told him how he was the best.
Naturally, once the kissing began, it soon evolved into full blown passionate makeout, as both Leo and Amanda released their pent up stress of not spending enough time with one another for the past few days.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, their session was cut short when Amanda got a work rted call and since she was a secretary, she immediately had to work on fulfilling the request of her clients and make other calls to make arrangements for their request.
This meant that she had to abruptly take her leave from Leo’s apartment, giving Leo the time he needed to work on his mental meditation.
Looking at the clock, Leo realized that he had lost close to one hour of time because of Amanda, and that he could easily make it back up, if he just skipped cooking and eating lunch for today, which wasn’t really a big deal.
Making his way to the meditation room, Leo acknowledged the floating scroll with a polite nod, as he formed a pulse of mana near his wrist and started with the hellish routine for the day.
