I Will Accompany You
RK's secretarial department.
After silently enduring a three-minute angry berate, Cheryl finally put down the phone.
She let out a long sigh.
Lu Lu was currently tidying up the meeting records at lightning speed. In the middle of it, she glanced at Cheryl for some gossip. "Scolded, again? Sister Cheryl, you should just immediately hang up when you get calls like that next time. Why do you have to endure it? No matter how much of a big shot Ms. Shen is, it doesn't matter to us. We do not get our salary from her."
A head bearing two cat ears walked by. Alan agreed with her. "Yeah, she can scold the devil king instead if she has the guts to do so. It has nothing to do with us."
Lu Lu smiled mischievously. "Alan, weren't you a fan of Shen Xinran in the past?"
"I am a fan of many celebrities. She doesn't even qualify in my line-up, alright?"
Cheryl sighed faintly. "Stop fighting, you two… My head hurts. They said that they will come down again tomorrow and they want to see Director Chen no matter what."
"What for?" Lu Lu and Alan spoke in unison.
Cheryl cast a glance at them before saying, "To borrow the robot."
The two of them exchanged glances with one another…
After a good while, Lu Lu responded hesitantly, "But Ruan Ruan is not an ordinary robot… She is a caregiver and companion robot… and she is custom-made."
Robots that were designed to be companions were always very private and personal goods.
It was the same as cell phones. If you lent yours to a friend, you would definitely remove the memory card inside before handing it over, because no one would want others to see the secret messages stored. Such robots were the same. Not only did they record images, but during their companionship process, they would intelligently adjust their setup according to their masters' preferences. For example, their biological clocks, the loudness and pitch levels of their voices, knowing their masters' favorite music and the information that they pay attention to. Even to the finest detail like the strength of their masters' coffee when they made a drink.
Therefore, borrowing a companion robot was a very impudent action that could cause awkwardness.
"The devil king… seems to be heading overseas tomorrow?" Alan looked at Cheryl and Lu Lu's expressions before saying softly, "He told me to book a plane ticket for Xin Hai City tomorrow…"'
Cheryl was taken aback. "If they don't see our CEO tomorrow, I will be ripped to shreds…"
"Auntie Yu is still easy to speak to, she will hold Ms. Shen back," Lu Lu comforted her.
Cheryl instantly gave her a glance that said, 'You don't even know anything.' She said, "Auntie Yu is the hardest person to deal with, alright?"
Alan nodded his head. "Isn't it true? In the end, they are still a mother-son pair who are biologically-related. How can the devil king not concede instantly when his dear mother speaks?"
Cheryl replied emotionlessly, "The devil king said that there is something wrong with them."
"…"
"…"
Cheryl suddenly clenched her fist as if she had made a decision. "I've been making the same mistake all this time. From now on, I am going to correct it!"
The two assistants looked at her blankly.
"I shouldn't be calling her Auntie Yu. Since she married into the Shen family, I should call her Madam Shen. What do you guys say, am I right?"
Alan and Lu Lu exchanged glances with one another as if they faintly understood…
"Yes… She should be called Madam Shen…"
"… Yeah, next time, I shall address her that way as well…"
Cheryl continued, "Now, Madam Shen and Ms. Shen want to borrow Director Chen's private robot. We should be sensible enough to reject their unreasonable request!"
Lu Lu looked at Cheryl, stunned. "Sister Cheryl, are you trying to build up your courage right now?…" She said softly.
"…" Cheryl coughed twice at that. "Are you done with your tasks? The devil king will be returning soon."
Shocked, the other two instantly went back to their seats and buried themselves in their work!
While they were being awfully busy, two soft knocks on the door were suddenly heard.
They raised their heads to look over. Unbeknown to them, Gu Anbao had opened the door to the office and had been standing obediently, hiding behind the glass door.
"That…" She swept her gaze over, her eyes finally landing on Lu Lu.
Lu Lu stood up and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Cheryl and Alan looked at Gu Anbao in confusion.
"Do you have… Magazines or library books…" Gu Anbao stammered.
"Eh? No, I don't. What do you need them for?"
"I… am a little bored inside…" Gu Anbao awkwardly replied.
She had been with Chen Yuheng all the time for the past few days. They went to work and got out of work together. Be it working or resting, she practically stood within his line of sight the whole time. This was because… she had previous convictions.
Chen Yuheng watched her closely to prevent her from escaping.
By being in the office during the day, she would never be able to escape as there were people around. When they were home at night, she couldn't open the fingerprint lock on their house door.
Of course, staying with the person she liked was a happy thing.
The problem was that it was extremely boring to just be standing with nothing to do for a long time.
The secretaries outside were all dumbfounded.
Bored?
Robots can feel bored??
Judging from her expression… She didn't seem to be kidding…
"Um… I am used to reading e-books. I don't usually buy any magazines.." Lu Lu said slowly, after regaining her senses. "How about borrowing my laptop? You can use it to surf the Internet and read some e-books… Do you know how to use a computer?"
Gu Anbao nodded her head.
"So advanced…" Lu Lu mumbled, before pulling out her own laptop from the side drawer and handing it over.
"Thank you," Gu Anbao took it from her. Thinking about how she had bothered Lu Lu several times, she couldn't help but feel apologetic. "I will return it to you as soon as possible."
"There's no need to," Lu Lu shook her head. "Just use it. I have a new one at home"
Gu Anbao thanked her sincerely and returned to the CEO's office, closing the door softly behind her.
Lu Lu sat back down on her seat distractedly. She looked at her colleagues as she shrugged her shoulders. This is fascinating. Robots can actually feel bored.
The others nodded their heads in agreement.
The three of them came together and analyzed the situation, before reaching the same understanding. Robots that had been taught by their boss were truly one of a kind!
Gu Anbao returned to the CEO's office but was no longer in the mood to read books. Her head was filled with the words she had heard when she stood by the door earlier.
Chen Yuheng's mother was… Madam… Shen? Had she remarried? Then… His father…
She had never heard about his father before…
Could it be that he had passed away?
Thinking about this possibility, Gu Anbao's heart felt heavy. She was feeling a little upset.
He has no father…
So pitiful…
Even though her health had not been good; her father, mother, and sister were always with her. Their family lived each day happily. She couldn't even imagine what it would be like if her dad wasn't around and her mother remarried. Really… This was so cruel…
…
When Chen Yuheng returned from his lunch appointment, he noticed that there was something off with his robot.
Why did it seem as though there was tenderness in those eyes? Also… a feeling of pity!
Gu Anbao thought silently in her heart. I will always be with you, supporting you!
Chen Yuheng thought inwardly. Is there a malfunction?
