My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk

"Where are you going next?"

After wrestling with Eric for a while, Kate asked Eric.

Her face was reddish, and she seemed to have taken advantage of a lot in the "struggle" with Eric.

"To meet someone."

Eric asked the driver to drive to the suburbs of New York.

"Or one of those aliens, or something weirder?"

Kate tidied up her clothes, leaned over again, and asked Eric.

"N, this time it's an ordinary office worker, but a person who has retired for a long time."

The car quickly drove to the suburbs, and Eric asked the driver to stop and came out with an umbrella.

Kate followed Eric out of the car.

Tell the driver to go back early.

"Then we're going to walk back."

Eric said to Kate who stepped on the ground carefully.

Kate looked at the muddy soil under her feet and stepped on it lightly.

"Hmm, I understand. You don't want the driver and bodyguard to know where you're going next? This makes me even more curious."

Kate held up the umbrella and tilted it slightly to keep the slanting rain from falling on her.

"It's almost the same, but the main reason is that the road ahead is not easy to walk, and cars can't drive in."

Eric didn't directly deny it.

Kate looked around, and there was a wilderness, no one inhabited.

"So, this is where you said?"

"of course not."

Eric signaled Kate to follow him forward, "If you go forward, there is Demy Lake, near Interstate 39. In 963, a dam was built on Demy Lake. The original purpose was for flood control and irrigation. , power generation and water supply, but with the continuous expansion of the urban circle and the application of new energy sources, this dam was gradually abandoned."

Eric held an umbrella, and said in a calm tone, "There is an abandoned village under the dam. In the 1960s, it was abandoned due to the expansion of the project, but now it is being used again to become a hidden experimental base."

"If you want to cross there, you have to go through swamps, and be careful of dangerous creatures in the swamp, such as crocodiles and anacondas."

Eric says something that makes Kate's skin crawl.

"Forehead......"

Kate looked suspiciously at Eric, "You don't mean to take me there, do you?"

"Correct, the person we are looking for is located there."

Eric finally said his purpose.

"Can I go back now? Such a dangerous place may not be suitable for a girl like me who has never experienced adventure."

Listening to the faint sound of running water coming from a distance, Kate quietly swallowed.

"No!"

Eric showed a mischievous smile, "You are my secretary, it is impossible to leave the boss and go back alone."

Kate, who had been arguing with Eric before, showed a "distressed" expression.

"Calm down, since I brought it up, I can definitely send you back safely."

Eric saw Kate frowning, and comforted her softly.

"Well, I know you must be waiting for me here!"

Kate made a very exaggerated sigh.

"By the way, can you do me a favor?"

Following Eric, Kate suddenly asked a question.

"What?"

"My parents are the kind of traditional people. They hope that after I finish my studies, I will get married and have children quickly. If the man is the kind of banker or financier, with the blood of gentle scum, a greasy and pompous corporate person will Much better. So..."

"So they forced you to go on a blind date?"

Eric was a little surprised,

The blind date is also popular in the United States.

"It's almost the same thing. This Saturday, my family organizes a dinner party, and the protagonists of the dinner party are me and another guy named Ross. I think the only thing we have in common is that we went to college. Other than that, I can't think of anything to do with him." Wherever they intersect."

Kate was a little depressed.

"My mother was the kind of person who would say to my face, 'You were fat when you were a kid and didn't have any friends', which would often make me very vulnerable. My father was the kind of empathetic Yes, he will comfort me when I am broken in love, but he will also spend my pocket money in private, and sometimes dislikes me for being a bit rustic..."

The two of them alone, plus a walk in the rain, made it easy for Kate to speak her mind.

"Of course, it was a high school romance, and all we did was hold hands or go to the movies together. I was a country girl in high school, and I was very reserved."

Perhaps because Eric was afraid of misunderstanding, Kate quickly explained.

"Well, so you don't like this arrangement of your parents at all."

Eric felt the need to care about the emotional lives of some of his subordinates.

After all, the other party has created so many benefits for him. If he is not in a bad mood and affects his work efficiency, he probably feels a little bit unhappy as a black-hearted big capitalist.

"Of course I don't like it, because I have always had someone I like."

When Kate said this, she cast her eyes on Eric with a vague look.

"hehe......"

Eric smiled stupidly and didn't answer.

If he asked "Who is that", there is a high possibility that Kate would blink her charming eyes and say "Of course it's you, the boss".

Since I owe a lot of debts, it is not easy to provoke this woman who is not easy to provoke at first glance.

"How about this, let me visit your house this Saturday."

Eric said something that surprised Kate.

"Um?"

Kate stared blankly at Eric, and the previous slightly shy and angry mood because Eric didn't answer her words was swept away, replaced by a somewhat dull expression.

"What's wrong? Are you not welcome?"

Eric held out his hand and waved it in front of Kate.

"Ah?! Of course welcome."

Kate's expression became a little subtle.

She thought for a while, then tentatively asked, "Are you sure you really want to visit my house?"

She just said it casually and complained to Eric, but she didn't expect that the other party really agreed to help.

Thinking of the two of them holding hands and pushing open the door together to enter the room, under the surprised gaze of their parents, especially the patriarchal mother, after introducing "This is my boyfriend, the boss of the company I work for" to the mother, The funny and strange look of mother and family...

"Ah......"

She covered her mouth and laughed.

It made Eric next to him inexplicable.

Is the response necessary to be so large?

Why don't you just come to visit this trivial matter? Is it necessary to be so surprised?

It can only be said that in this wave, the two of them did not expect to go together.

Eric thought that the visit was simply to explain Kate's thoughts, and it would be best to prevent her parents from persecuting her.

And Kate thought Eric was going to meet her parents with herself, and had a showdown...
