Chapter 843
Snakel especially enjoyed teasing her, and watching her panicky manner. He felt as if mild electrical currents were traveling down from his fingertips to the rest of his body, making him feel a pleasant, numbing sensation.
“So, in your eyes, what kind of person am I? Mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng stared blankly at Snakel as she thought: If I tell my boss that he is a pervert on my first day of work… would I be fired?
Snakel narrowed his eyes, as if seeing through Gu Mengmeng’s inner thoughts. He added. “If I am not happy, you will be fired for ‘not being up to the task’. You will also need to pay a compensation fee of a hundred times your salary.”
“Eh?!” Gu Mengmeng was stunned.
Snakel laughed with a wicked cheerfulness. “There are two copies of the employment contract. You should have one copy with you right? Turn to page seven, paragraph nine, line four. See?”
Gu Mengmeng immediately took out her employment contract and flipped to the designated page. There was really such a clause…
If she could not fulfill her job requirements within the contracted period, she would need to pay a compensation fee of a hundred times her salary.
A monthly salary of $4,500, so a hundred times would be…$450,000?!
“As a ‘personal’ special assistant, your foremost duty is to please your boss.” Snakel reminded her pleasantly. Of course, if not for the fact he had purposely emphasized the word “personal”, his sentence would have sounded very amiable indeed.
“So, now that you have taken a look at your own employment contract, please consider your words carefully. Answer me… what kind of person am I in your eyes? Mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng tore her gaze from her contract and looked at Snakel. She gave a forced smile that looked like a grimace. In her eyes, Snakel looked like a huge IOU with the figure of $450,000.
A figure which she could not afford to offend…
For the sake of the job, her conscience and what not… she could do away with such things!
“Boss is the world’s most sacred and indomitable presence, who fills my heart with awe. My respect for you is like the overflowing waters of an endless great river, limitless and impossible to restrain…”
Snakel jabbed the center of Gu Mengmeng’s brow, interrupting the grandeur praises she had learned from television series.
“Ah Kel, Senior, Darling. Choose one.”
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head blankly, totally uncomprehending.
“I don’t wish for my identity to be exposed in school, and attract unnecessary troubles. So you cannot call me boss.” Snakel’s explanation was very logical, but actually… he just didn’t like her addressing him like how she did the others.
Ah Kel… was too intimate. Gu Mengmeng felt that she and Snakel had not reached that level of familiarity.
And forget darling. She was not a fawning sales lady, who would call just about anyone darling.
So…
“Senior.” Gu Mengmeng smiled at having accomplished her first task at this bizarre job.
Snakel looked rather dissatisfied and he raised one brow. “Why not Ah Kel or darling?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed awkwardly. “Aren’t we still going to be hanging out at school? So calling you senior would be more natural.”
Snakel grudgingly accepted Gu Mengmeng’s explanation. He nodded before dragging her by her wrist towards the outside.
“Where are we going?” Gu Mengmeng followed Snakel at a trot.
The dedicated lift was still waiting and Snakel stepped into it without a need to break his stride. Right after he stepped in, Snakel turned around without warning and Gu Mengmeng crashed into his arms. Snakel’s eyes glinted slyly and with a trace of ambiguity. He tilted his head and whispered in her ear, “I am bringing you to take a look at your ‘dormitory’.”
