‘Is this kid stupid or something?’ Xante wondered.
“I don’t want to hang out!” she grumbled.
“I don’t believe you! You obviously care about me. You wouldn’t have given me the blanket otherwise.”
Xante was speechless. She felt like she was talking to a wall. Thus, she ignored Sunny and went to Aaron’s office
instead.
Annie was nowhere to be seen when Xante arrived outside of Aaron’s office, which she found to be very strange.
Before she went in, she said sternly to Sunny, “Wait outside! Don’t follow me in!”
“Why can’t I go in with you? Why are you looking for Aaron again?” he asked unhappily.
“If you haven’t noticed, this is a company, and I’m working! Aaron is my business partner and colleague. You, a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnon-employee, have no right to be there for our business discussion.”
Sunny scoffed haughtily. “Fine. I won’t bother you working. I’ll wait outside.”
Xante rolled her eyes at him before knocking on the door and entering Aaron’s office.
Sunny anxiously and obediently waited for her like a dog waiting for its owner to return. From time to time, he
would put his ear against the door to hear what was going on inside.
“Sunny? Is that you?”
Hearing his name, Sunny turned and saw Annie with a cup of coffee in her hand.
“Hey, it is you, Sunny!” said Annie with surprise. “What are you doing here?”
Sunny was surprised to see Annie there too. “I should ask you the same thing. What are you doing here?”
Annie sat back down in her seat. “I work here.”
Sunny’s eyes widened in shock. “What?! You work here? I thought you worked at your uncle’s company!”
“I did, but it was so boring there that I came to work here instead. Plus, this is a good chance for me to learn how to
be independent.”
An idea suddenly popped into Sunny’s mind. “Are you guys still hiring? Can I work here?”
Annie looked suspiciously at him. “You want to work here? Why? Wouldn’t it be better to work in your family
company?”
Sunny pouted. “It’s not going to be fun working there! My brother will watch me like a hawk, and he’ll say nothing I
do is ever good enough. Also, I want to learn how to be independent like you too!”
Annie half-believed him. “I don’t think the company hires students who haven’t graduated from high school.”
Sunny frowned in embarrassment. “I’m graduating soon!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Well… The company doesn’t hire part-timers either.”
“Then how did you get the job?”
Annie rolled her eyes. “We’re not the same, okay? I’m a university graduate. Not to mention, I got the job through
legitimate means. I applied with my resume and went for the interview.”
Sunny scoffed. “You think you’re so great just because you’ve graduated from a university.”
“Yeah, real mature of you,” said Annie sarcastically. “Anyway, you haven’t told me why you’re here. Also, would you
care to explain why you have your ear pressed against Mister Aaron’s office door?”
Sunny cleared his throat awkwardly. “Umm… I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop or anything but…my… My girlfriend is
inside, and I’m…worried about her.”
“What?! You have a girlfriend?”
Sunny lifted his chin proudly. “Yeah. Why do you sound so surprised?”
Annie waved her hand and laughed. “I find that really hard to believe. I mean, what girl would be willing to date a
kid like you? Hahahaha!”
Sunny’s face darkened. “The only kid here is you!”
