Novel Bin Chapter 75 75: First Time Being A Boss
After a peaceful night with Elma and the other two cats, Amon sat in his back seat, with Elma dressed in a neat business suit and wearing black-rimmed glasses.
She looked like a perfect secretary as the car smoothly drove along the western city, heading to Double Dragon\'s HQ to check the damage and show his face as the CEO, ensuring the employees felt valued. The repairs were on their way to being completed.
\'These two cats scolded me for not acting like a real boss, that I should sit in the back when going to work and let the maids or servants drive.\'
\'Honestly, I found it adorable and let Eru drive the car while Aru sat in the passenger seat and browsed the company\'s current data and sales information.\'
Amon only let her see it because she was more intelligent than he imagined, someone who could come close to Ming Xue! He needed to win not only win Elma over and this cheeky little tsundere cat too.
"I heard the fucking snake family goons attacked your business... want me to go and crush their little girl?" Elma asked, her head on Amon\'s lap as he read some documents and proposals from the employees about improvements on the way to the company.
"Mmmm, I might have done it in the past, but I can\'t let my cute woman always fight my battles. So enjoy being pampered for now when it comes to helping you."
"Let me see just how amazing you are." His right hand released the document, stroking her cheek as she bit him with her little fangs before licking his palm with a pleased look.
"Hmmmm, you got better at dealing with women... good, I don\'t have to be your mommy and big sis at the same time now, right?"
"Ah, just be yourself, Elma."
The two twins in the front seat seemed able to communicate with a strange mental power, as their little ahoge, like an antenna, fluttered as the car drove down the empty street.
"Sister! When did our princess become so gentle and lovely!?" (Eru)
"Sis... I think our princess loves him for real! But we touched his thing—what if Princess Elma beats us!?"
"Let\'s pretend he seduced us, uhuh!" (Eru)
"Good plan!" (Aru)
***
The drive was rather peaceful. In the back of his executive car was a nice set of snacks and drinks—although there was wine, he was about to do business and didn\'t want to smell like alcohol and wine just yet.
Elma was no longer lying on his lap and sat quietly against the window with her legs together like a completely transformed lady.
"Are you two alright alone?" Amon asked as Eru opened the door for him and Aru for Elma.
"We should be alright. Can we borrow the car to have fun, or should we stay in the company?" Aru responded to him, looking cute in her pencil skirt and black suit jacket. With the added glasses, she looked like an intellectual beauty.
\'So hot...\'
"That\'s fine then, make sure to be safe—here, take this card with a $10,000 spending limit, and the code is 4 zeros. Use it as your... well, call it wages for now? Have fun with Eru while I borrow your princess."
His warm smile as he pushed the card into Aru\'s hand made it too hard to reject—despite being quite well off herself, the twins used to work with Elma as mercenaries, so money was always taken when they could.
It was a waste otherwise!
"If you need to come back and want to contact anyone, call Rebecca on this card number and tell her you are Amon\'s guest." He handed Aru the keycard and Rebecca\'s business card to throw the troublesome twins onto her if they got bored and returned.
Amon looked back at the slightly bored-looking Elma, standing beside him, closer than normal, as her right arm brushed against his—she had been messaging Kizuna in the car and knew she would also come today...
And so she seemed to be worried and territorial against her.
***
Despite parking in the VIP spot, Amon took Elma towards the main entrance to see the security guards that didn\'t let the Ming family in easily.
\'I am glad they didn\'t die and only suffered a minor injury... That man, let\'s see if he wishes to join my security force...\'
[Oh? Are you going to start building it now? I am sure there was also a woman that fought back too.]
[Don\'t forget her, she is a former Female Muay Thai champion and fought in several MMA competitions.]
\'Did I write someone like that?\'
[Yeah... don\'t you remember when you made us go the gym and start training for about 4 years... just so my ass and abs looked like an MMA fighter...]
\'Why this woman then?\'
[Because she\'s your type... You made her based on your ideal fighter.]
Amon nodded and remembered who she meant, a woman of Latin heritage from the wonderful country of Mexica in the west.
He visited there once with Tia and fell in love with the cuisine and people—although some parts were dangerous, most of the people were vibrant and made him want to visit there yearly.
[You loved all of South America]
Elma walked behind by one step, and her atmosphere from flirty mistress to a dedicated secretary changed instantly. "Amon, you look handsome and sexy right now... CEO roleplay tonight?" Her last naughty words before she became quiet as they walked through the glass doors.
[It was him, the one with the crew cut and cast on his arm and the woman... oh? It looks like she\'s been fired.. look at the beauty with almond skin and black hair!"
\'Fired?\'
He didn\'t want to make either of them feel lesser than the other; he heard from the reports and saw the video. One stood and took a beating; the male, Chang Yu, and the female, Isabella Ramirez, fought them on the stairs until she took a blade to her thigh and abdomen.
Amon stopped—his photograph was everywhere, so they all knew who he was, as there was a commotion from most of the staff and visiting researchers and cultivators managing the herbs.
"Is that our boss... he\'s much sexier in real life." Thirsty female A
"Well, his secretary seems fierce but looks gentle beside him." Jealous cuck.
"So that\'s the boss..." Chang Yu whispered before turning around, sure that the boss didn\'t even know what the security team\'s efforts and troubles went through.
Isabella was the same as she stood looking at the magnetic aura Amon seemed to emit, she could also see his trained body and knew he was also a fighter, and she regretted being fired for taking too much-paid leave to care for her sick daughter.
"Morning, everyone." A powerful voice sounded, the deep and charming tone causing all to look his way as he waved towards the many workers and visitors who smirked at his enchanting smile.
"I am happy to see you all working so well, but there are two people I MUST properly thank."
"Isabella Ramirez, Chang Yu, I hope you can follow me to the executive floor for now and discuss your rewards for your efforts to keep this company safe."
Amon\'s eyes glistened with a beautiful violet shimmer as he looked at both Isabella, who looked stunned that he even knew her name and pronounced it with the correct accent—Chang Yu almost dropped his coffee, turning back, his heart racing, unable to believe the boss knew his name.
"Do you mind, Miss Isabella? Mr Chang?"
Neither of the two felt like denying would do them any good, and what if they got a nice reward?
Only a fool would deny this as they nodded and moved towards Amon\'s path as he walked to the Executive elevator and swiped his card.
The two stood outside like pigeons.
"Come on, get inside. I won\'t bite." He smiled while leaning against the soft back walls.
"Yes, sir!" "Thank you, sir!"
He smirked at the pair, one a hardened former military man fallen on hard times as his wife cheated and ran away with another man.
Yet somehow, by luck, when Amon started recruiting for this business, he sympathised and gave the former vet a decent wage as the security captain, remembering how hard it was for some people to get new jobs when they returned to his old world.
Isabella was amused as she looked around the lift, her cheap clothes likely due to prioritising her daughter\'s education and helping cure her breathing condition.
\'Can cultivating help fix her issue?\'
[I think so; there were more gentle exercises in my memory for females. Why?]
\'Should I not make two teams, a male team to protect the business and myself and a female team to protect my women, females and prospects...\'
[Oh? You\'re starting to think like an evil young master~ so adorable.]
[Do you want a similar one to the males?]
\'A stronger one if possible because men are naturally stronger. I don\'t want either team to be stronger than the other... so one that can even their differences, so the male and females can compete against each other fairly.\'
[What about Isabella herself?]
\'The best possible, something not quite as strong as you or Alice but able to compete. I plan to make her...\'
[Your mistress and bodyguard, right? To protect your wives, you will make several shadows for each of them, and Isabella will be the first Shadow?]
\'Call them Phantoms...\'
[Her daughter?]
\'The best to help her improve her condition and lead a wonderful life; I don\'t want a daughter and mother. Just the mother is fine.\'
[(I\'ll give her the best... because there\'s no way in a damn urban novel a beautiful female won\'t fall for either the villain or the Male Lead... I\'ll just tweak it so she chooses you.)]
As the lift slowly reached the top floor, both security members were a little nervous, with Isabella taking short peeks at his handsome features, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.
