“Fine, but your newfound big family, can you trust them or not?” Susan did not prey into the matter but asked if we could trust the estranged family that found me after gaining a lot of wealth.
“Once the royalty of the silver milk powderes rolling in, I can buy their entire family. So you tell me if I could trust them or not? Not to mention, they disowned my mother when she eloped with my father.” Once the Heatsend royal family started paying me the royalty of the silver milk powder, I nned to do precisely that. I will make sure that the Duskborn family will face the same misery and pain that my mother experienced being disowned by these so-called rtives of mine.
“Sorry” Susan apologized, feeling the rage in my words and understanding that talking about my estranged family made me moody.
“Why are you apologizing? They are the ones who are going to be sorry. Enough about them; let’s talk about the future of our card boutique.” I finally decided to talk about what I was avoiding till now.
“Is it about you attending the top universities? I heard, attending any one of the top 10 universities is a great opportunity. You cannot miss out on this. We can talk about the card boutique once you graduate.” Having heard the conversation between Lorenzo and me, Susan seemed to have already guessed that I would be attending the top 10 universities.
“Then what will you do until I graduate?” I could sense Susan had already made ns for herself. I guess she had no choice after hearing that I would soon attend University indirectly from my conversation with Lorenzo.
She must have felt betrayed hearing that I was nning to attend a university indirectly like this. It would have hurt a lot, especially after rejecting Lorenzo’s job offer as the Managing Director of sale of the Lorn pharmaceutical of the southern academic city branch for me. I cannot imagine her pain after all; she had done nothing wrong but be a loyal friend and employee for all that I awarded her with a betrayal. I guess it would have hurt less if she got to know that I would be leaving soon, directly from me. I owed her that much.
“Don’t worry, thanks to you. I am a rich woman now. I n to quit my job and attend the prestigious colleges at Southern Academic City.” Susanid out her n.
“Aren’t you too… experienced to attend college?” Age is a sensitive issue to a woman, so I chose my words carefully.
“Good Save.
Who says that I can not attend college? I am a rich woman now; I can do whatever I want.
Attending a card apprentice college has always been my dream. Now that I have money and the time, I n to live this childhood dream of mine.” Themission from the ingredients for the three mecha cards did make Susan filthy rich for a Card Student. And she was right; money talks.
“Too bad, knowing that you want to attend college, I will have to find a new manager now.” Hearing my words, Susan’s eyes narrow and sternly, she asked, “what do you mean? I thought I was your exclusive expression.”
” I don’t n on closing the card boutique; instead, I n on shifting it to the central academic city where the top 10 universities are located. Now that you are attending a card apprentice college at Southern Academic City. I will have to find a new manager.” I spoke those words, barely able to hold myugh inside.
“WTF? I only said that because you said that you are going to leave to attend a university.” Startled, Susan swore before she began to exin herself. Her startled expression reminded me of the viral startled hamster meme back on earth
I love it when Susan curses. I know she does an excellent job concealing the bad girl inside her with her professional front, but I have already seen that side of her and will do my best to bring it to the surface. I guess there is a little sadism in me. It’s unsettling to know that Susan brings that out in me. As long as it is limited to this, I guess it is okay.
“I never said that. You jumped to a conclusion hearing the conversion between Lorenzo and me. So, I’m afraid I have to disagree that it’s my fault. And when should I be expecting your resignation letter?” At this point, it was getting hard for me to keep my face straight without letting out augh.
“You…” Susan’s face turned red from rage, embarrassment, and then relief that her gut to follow this boy was not wrong. In a fit of mixed feelings, Susan started punching me with her small balled-up fists.
“Hahaha…” ignoring Susan’s soft blows, I burst intoughter.
“Go ahead, Laugh. Laugh at foolish Susan.” Susan finally started to express her dissatisfaction over how I handled the talk.
“Okay, I am sorry. But seriously though, you know what you will be getting yourself into if you tag along with me, right?” I asked Susan If she understood the gravity of her decision. Susan did not outright say that she would follow me, but her actions rified it.
“Why do you ask? Do you think I will be your weakness?” Answering a question with a question, this is the professional Susan I knew. If I had thought Susan would be my weakness, I would have never considered taking her with me to the central academic city.
“You know I don’t think that. I want you to decide what’s best for you after understanding the gravity of the situation. The silver milk powder has not been released in the market yet, and 30 card emperor assassins have already tried to assassinate me. There is no telling what I will have to deal with then.” I had to make sure that Susan made her choice, knowing how dire the situation would turn once the silver milk powder hits the market.
“Good, do not underestimate me. I dared to trust the creation of my origin card to a high schooler I had just met. And look where it got. I know what I am doing.” Come to think of it, Susan does act rigid and formal, but when she believes in something, she doesn’t hesitate to go all out. I was the living example of that.
