Chapter 245 - Get it from his room (1/2)
Xiu Mei lowered her head and tried to hide her face through the hat. Zeus had obviously seen Alice several times in Kong House. What if he recognizes her? Seven years is a long time but that does not change the appearance of a person completely. She is still Alice with the same face…
She tried to sneak out from the camp quietly but excitement rose in her heart when she saw the laptop and satellite communicating device with the man standing behind Zeus.
With the satellite communicating device, she can talk to Jianyu, know about his whereabouts and even inform him about her location. Her brows furrowed when she saw the laptop. What could be the use of a laptop in this no network zone? Obviously, it's not meant for playing games or watching porn.
Alright, scratch the last two words…
She knows what a big womanizer Zeus is.
'If they are having a laptop then there must be a way to access the internet. But how can they access it in this network free zone? This is only possible if he lifts it temporarily for his personal use. If that's the case I've to stay till Zeus is here'
Little did she know that the opportunity she was looking for to stay here would drop in her lap just like that.
The chef came running to complain to the captain about the shortage of Kitchen staff due to the unannounced arrival of Commander Zeus with his entire entourage. He asked him to appoint some helpers in exchange for some food and money.
She heard the chef and captain's banter and shifted towards the ghost, ”I want this job. At any cost”
”Are you sure? It can be risky” he whispered
”100 %. Just do it”
Without any further dialogue, he went to talk to the captain and they instantly agreed. With Ghosts compelling story of the hungry stomach and no money, Captain allowed them to work here temporarily.
Ghost smirked at the success and then walked away from them towards the woman who was trying hard to hide her face. ”We got the Job”
”We?”
”Of- course! How can I leave you alone amongst these wolfs?” He said it like it's the most natural thing for him.
Mei looked at him with curious eyes. The man is crippled, face and body badly burnt, considering his age in 50's his youth is long gone, then why is he doing all this? Is it just for adventure or something else?
”Live your rest of the life peacefully. Go back home, don't risk it for me” She tried persuading him.
”Peacefully? In this city? Not possible young lady” He scoffed and then added, ”I'm just performing my duties in which I failed”
”....”
Mei didn't understand his words and gave a confused look, but he ignored her gaze before taking her inside the house where Zeus' will be staying for two days.
