Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

But why can she still feel this familiar feeling?

Xi Lan pursed her lips, but did not intend to tell Lady Emerald about this.

Firstly, I didn't want her to worry about my affairs anymore.

Secondly... there was still some selfishness involved.

Okay, Xi Lan admits it! She did indeed keep a slight eye on the Star Core Hunter's whereabouts in private...

However, the group's whereabouts were kept too secret, and even Xi Lan couldn't find out anything about them.

We had no choice but to regretfully give up.

She wanted to know what was inside.

And why was it specifically delivered here?

"Miss Xilan?"

Xi Lan smiled, a fleeting sadness in her eyes, and said gently, pretending to be nonchalant, "Ah, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted. Let's leave this in the lounge for now, I'll take a look at it when I have some free time."

"Let's get ready to go; after all, there are other debts waiting to be collected."

Should we tell Ms. Jade about this?

She was troubled.

But Xi Lan seemed to have noticed something. Seeing the employee's thoughtful expression, she smiled and said, "Of course, Sister Slo can also tell Ms. Emerald about this, but can we keep it a secret until I open this gift?"

Slo paused for a moment, looking at the smiling face of the other person, and felt a little embarrassed: "...So you knew all along? I thought I was hiding it very well."

"Rather than that, the reason why Ms. Emerald can discover me doing something wrong so quickly is either that she has a surveillance camera on me, or that someone is helping her."

She chuckled a few times, showing absolutely no discomfort on her face.

"Don't you...don't you hate this?"

Slo took a deep breath, looked at Xi Lan who was chuckling, and realized that he might have asked a stupid question.

"Dislike? I don't dislike it at all! Doesn't this mean that Lady Emerald values ​​me a lot? You agree, right, Sister Slo?"

He winked playfully at Slo, smiling somewhat shyly, but the female employee could see a hint of satisfaction in his fox-like eyes.

Even its fluffy tail was wagging unconsciously, looking completely in a good mood.

Slo choked for a moment, patted his cheeks, and took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself down.

I was so stupid, really. How could I have thought that this Jade Lady would hate these things, given her strong advocacy?

So you were completely absorbed in it, weren't you?!

Am I really not part of your two-person play?!?!

"Forget it, forget it. I won't tell Ms. Emerald until you open it. Sigh... I really don't understand what she's thinking."

She still felt that she couldn't quite keep up with what the younger generation was thinking.

Let's not worry about it so much.

After patting Xi Lan on the shoulder, Slo quickly returned to his post and obediently let the other employees busy themselves with other tasks.

Having had his true nature revealed in a certain sense, Xi Lan slowly suppressed her smile and returned to calm.

"I really hope I didn't scare Sister Slo."

After all, aside from Lady Jade, it seems she hasn't fully revealed her true nature yet.

Yes.

Xi Lan herself really enjoys the desire to be controlled, needed, and possessed by the Jade Lady.

Only in this way can one feel safe.

Upon learning that Jade was keeping a close eye on her from elsewhere, Xi Lan had to admit she was happy.

However, since Lady Emerald doesn't want her to know, then Xilan can of course pretend she doesn't know.

Therefore, in a sense, the female employee was indeed a play between the two of them.

However, I'll let this matter go for now, since Sister Slo is a nice person and can help her with some things.

In a sense, Xi Lan did indeed like her.

Having readjusted her mood, Xi Lan, holding the unidentified gift box, stepped back into the ship with mixed feelings.

After greeting the department staff who had returned to work as usual, Xi Lan slowly made her way to her own break room.

I'd like to just toss this gift box somewhere.

However, with mixed feelings, Xi Lan placed the gift in the spot where she usually reads, and even put it down with some care.

Let's open it and take a look when we have a break.

Once back in her office, Xi Lan's gaze fell upon the employees who were setting up the equipment.

What would it feel like to pilot a ship yourself?

After such a thought popped into her mind, Xi Lan quickly erased it.

After all, I've never even gotten a driver's license.

Putting this sad matter aside, Xi Lan could only grudgingly deal with the files that had accumulated over this period.

All I can do is hope that I can finish processing these documents before I meet the next debtor.

Xi Lan could only sigh silently, and once again transformed into a pitiful, overworked fox.

Chapter Fifty-Two: Call Me a Child Trafficker!

"Black Tower Space Station? Why are we going there?"

Xi Lan, who had finally managed to lift her head from her work, glanced at the employee in the notification and her eyes were filled with confusion.

"It was Jade Lady's idea. She said, 'Does that mean you know someone over there? Anyway, we also have some bills that were snatched from someone else, so why don't you go and collect the payment? You'll get overtime pay during the holiday, okay?'" The employee perfectly mimicked Jade Lady's words, which successfully made Xi Lan laugh.

"Your imitation doesn't resemble it at all."

"I didn't say what I was studying, hey, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, nobody will know." After chatting for a while, the employee took some snacks from Xi Lan, sent her the billing data, and then left.

"Black Tower Space Station... I've heard they've appointed a new stationmaster there... Ugh, is this bill even possible to spend?"

I really don't understand how many zeros there are.

Since it's a space station, wouldn't it be easier for me to collect my debts?

After all, it's the space station of that "Black Tower".

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Besides, I don't know many people like that.

Surely it couldn't be Little Yelena on that space station, could it?

If that's the case, she can still have some hope.

“Ahh…”

She let out a rare sigh, and after glancing at the time, Xi Lan realized that she had been working for quite some time.

So it's perfectly normal to take a break, right?

Pretending to rest, she was actually more curious about the gift placed in her lounge room.

The fox's little scheme can no longer be hidden.

After making up a random excuse for herself, Xi Lan hurried back to her lounge with a very complicated feeling.

Inevitably, my gaze fell upon the gift box on the table.

Walking to the table, Xi Lan sat down in the chair and slowly unwrapped the gift that had been given to her.

It turned out that inside was just a very ordinary bottle of perfume, with nothing written on it or any paper.

What's causing this strange sense of loss?

After carefully sniffing the bottle, Xi Lan noticed that the perfume was indeed similar to the one worn by Kafka.

Driven by a tiny bit of curiosity, the large fox, unusually intense, lightly sprayed a tiny bit of the perfume with that scent onto its sleeve.

As a result, the fragrance lingering in the air made Xi Lan realize, with a subtle change in expression, that the scent was exactly the same as the woman in her memory.

I guess I should change my clothes.

Wash this garment, wash it.

As for this perfume... I'm a little reluctant to throw it away, but I'll just leave it in this lounge.

She quickly stripped off her clothes, ran to take a shower, and breathed a sigh of relief when she could no longer smell that familiar scent thanks to her keen sense of smell.

It's best not to let Ms. Jade know about this perfume.

Xi Lan instinctively thought, what if Lady Emerald found out...

Being pinned down on someone's lap and having their buttocks slapped is a punishment only children receive, and after a few times, it was best to let it go.

Even she... has some sense of shame, okay!

A strange blush crept onto her cheeks.

However, this subtle feeling was well suppressed.

He then glanced at the perfume bottle on the table, and finally, feeling a little guilty, put it in the drawer.

It's as if doing this will make them feel less guilty.

After changing into other clothes, Xi Lan finally satisfied her curiosity and returned to her office feeling completely comfortable.

Okay, this might be something that interferes with my work~

For some reason, the big fox was in a better mood and happily went about its work.

Little did she know that the strange fragrance had already seeped into her hair little by little.
