Chapter 7 Turns out, He's the Father!

Wow, that's bad. For the sake of the God of the universe. The owner of day and night, who regulates the rotation and revolution of the earth ....

Is that Jeremy?

Is that him? The one who Danny calls a good, but busy dad?

If so, God forbid. Well from teh hell! He's clearly the person Nesta is referring to as the most annoying.

Well, Nesta thought about everything she had told Danny. Will the boy complain to his father or not?

Can Nesta run away now, or not?

Unfortunately, they are getting closer and closer. Nesta seemed to have to be ready, if soon she would get a burst of hot lava from Jeremy's anger.

" Dad, what do you want to do, report Nesta to the security guard?" Danny, who was being led by Jeremy, protested.

"I didn't know you were with that person." Jeremy was too upset to mention Nesta's name. He thought Danny was with the kidnapper.

Even from afar, when the employee pretended to hide his face, Jeremy knew it was her. The crazy one!

Grumbling, Danny asks Jeremy to apologize to Nesta. Even though he's still a kid, Danny knows what it's like to be accused of kidnapping when you're helping people.

His father was overly suspicious!

"You have to apologize nicely, anyway!"

"Yes, I'll apologize later." This time he was sincere, he wanted to apologize. Well, instead of bothering Danny who kept nagging.

"Dad, don't lie to me!" Danny doubted that his father would apologize. His father was good at making excuses when he was wrong.

The closer he got, the more Jeremy felt annoyed by his employee who looked like a worm in heat. Why was he acting like that!

Nesta, who was at the security post, prayed silently. She hoped it wasn't Jeremy, her boss. Hopefully it was just a look-alike or a twin. Well, hopefully.

God, Nesta needed help when she realized it was Jeremy.

Just put your face against the wall!

Jeremy excused himself to the security guard. They had a little chat about the misunderstanding between them.

Jeremy explained that Nesta was not a bad person, let alone a kidnapper.

Actually, the security guard was a bit skeptical when Jeremy said on the phone that Danny was in danger.

When he arrived at school, the boy looked happy. Not depressed or feeling under threat.

Well, where was Jeremy's logic anyway?

If someone wanted to kidnap his son, he would even take him to school.

Jeremy didn't know yet that Nesta was actually forced because she couldn't bear it. In fact, she had a toothache. You can imagine Nesta's suffering.

So, the one who is angry should be Nesta. But the fate of subordinates, well this is like this. Accept blame all the time. It's also called living off the salary the boss pays.

Okay, after a long explanation, Jeremy was finally able to meet Nesta face to face.

Still silent to each other.

Nesta was silent, because she didn't know what to say. Her head was full of questions about who Jeremy was to Danny. Not to mention the toothache, which was making his teeth ache.

Danny shook his father's hand, reminding him of what they had agreed earlier.

This was forced, Jeremy was forced.

"Sorry!" He said apologetically while looking away.

Nesta slung her sling bag over her shoulder. Instead of answering, she asked something else.

"Is this your son, sir?" Still not sure. The problem was that Danny was a sweet, polite boy. His father? Yikes, Nesta couldn't put it into words.

"None of your business!"

Huh! Jeremy didn't want to answer that question, so he got annoyed.

" Dad, why are you so angry?" Jeremy's wave of annoyance could be felt by Danny.

Asked by Danny, Jeremy just cleared his throat. While occasionally pretending to correct his tie.

"Is this really your dad?" Nesta asked Danny.

The little boy in front of Nesta nodded. " Yeah, so what if this is my dad?"

Grinning, Nesta scratched her head. "It's okay, though." Seriously, Nesta was curious and kept asking herself, was Danny really Jeremy's biological son?

Isn't he not married yet?

Uh, wait a minute. Remember the office rules. He said that outside the office, Nesta should pretend not to know Jeremy. They say that Nesta is jinxed.

Ah, just realized too. Jeremy was in quite close proximity to her. It's her fault, isn't it? Just watch out if you dare to cut Nesta's salary.

Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore, then.

"That's all right, sir! I'm going home."

Before his subordinate left, Jeremy remembered one thing. "You're not working, what are you doing at my son's school?"

"You know Nesta?" Danny was astonished.

"Oooh, no!" Nesta shook her hand. "We don't know." He was going to die if Danny realized that Nesta was Danny's father.

In a moment, Danny had an idea. It just so happened that his father was here, he might as well ask about job vacancies.

"In your office, you can still get people to work, right, Dad?"

Jeremy frowned. He understood that Danny was asking about vacancies. But what good would that information do Danny?

"Why, son?"

Danny looked at Nesta, he gave Nesta the right thumbs up. From the innocent boy, he thought that this time he would be able to return the favor to Nesta.

Nesta, on the other hand, thought he was going to be tortured by Jeremy. Hopefully, there would still be a way to escape.

Still at the security post, the conversation continued.

"Help Nesta find a job. Papa can do it, right?"

What did Nesta do again? Jeremy tried to guess.

"No, it's okay. Ouch, that's it, Danny." This dead Nesta, don't let Danny tell him everything he just said.

" Dad-"

"Shhh!" Danny's mouth was silenced by Nesta.

"Your hands are dirty, don't touch my son!" Because of his disgust, Jeremy slammed Nesta's hand.

Bad boss!

"I don't need a job, really. H-hee."

"It's okay. My dad can help,"

The more Nesta acted, the more Jeremy became suspicious.

" Go!" He pulled Nesta away from Danny.

Kneeling down, Jeremy looked closely at his son.

" Let Danny explain it to me."

Glad, usually when his father asked, it was a sign that Danny's wishes would be fulfilled.

"Nesta's boss is evil like the devil ...." Danny explained with sparkling eyes. "It's a pity, isn't it, Dad?"

Oh my God, Danny was right to explain everything. Nesta couldn't help herself.

If it wasn't for Nesta helping her son today, Jeremy would have said 'fire' out loud. Whatever if it meant ten months' severance pay!

"So?" He began to probe further.

"I told Nesta to work in Dad's office. Can't you?"

Standing up straight again, Jeremy girded his loins, then glared at Nesta.

"So, your boss is like a devil?" Despite his soft words, Nesta felt threatened. If she were a comic character, there would already be a burst of anger in her head.

"So .... "So scratched the back of her neck.

"Calm down!" Jeremy pretended to be patient. "I also have employees who behave like demons."

That's Nesta talking to herself, I think.

"I'll fire her. After that, you're in!"

Oh no, Nesta thought. That's the same thing!
