My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk

"Where are you going next?"

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

Her complexion was reddish, and it seemed that she took a lot of advantage in the "fight" with Eric.

"Go see someone."

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

"Or that kind of alien, or something even weirder?"

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

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

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

Kate followed Eric out of the car.

I instructed the driver to go back early.

"We're going to walk back next."

Eric said to Kate, who was stepping on the ground carefully.

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

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

Kate held up her umbrella and tilted it slightly so that the slanting rain would not fall on her.

"Almost, but the main reason is that the next road is not easy to go, and the car can't drive in."

Eric did not directly deny it.

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

"So, this is the place you're talking about?"

"of course not."

Eric motioned for Kate to follow him forward, "If you go forward, there is a Demi Lake, close to Interstate 39. In 963, a dam was created on Demi 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, this dam has been gradually abandoned.”

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

"If you want to cross there, you have to pass through the swamp, and beware of dangerous creatures in the swamp, such as crocodiles and anacondas."

Eric says something that gives Kate goosebumps.

"Forehead......"

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

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

Eric finally revealed his purpose.

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

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

"Do not!"

Eric showed a mischievous smile, "You are my secretary, you can't leave the boss and go back alone."

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

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

Eric looked at Kate's frown 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 traditional people. They want me to get married and have children quickly after I finish my studies. If the man is that kind of banker or financier, with the blood of a scumbag and a business person who looks greasy and exaggerated, Better yet. So..."

"So they forced you to have a blind date?"

Eric was a little surprised that blind dates are still popular in the United States.

"It's almost the same thing. This Saturday, the family is organizing a dinner, and the protagonists of the dinner 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 having a relationship with him. anywhere that meets."

Kate's mood was a little down.

"My mother was the kind of person who would say to my face, 'You were chubby when you were a kid and you didn't have a friend' that would often leave me vulnerable. My dad was the kind that was empathetic Yes, he would comfort me when I was in love, but he would also use up my pocket money in private, and sometimes dislike me for dressing up a bit rustic..."

Two people alone, plus walking in the rain, in this atmosphere, it is 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 local girl in high school, and I was very conservative."

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

"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 work efficiency, it is estimated that he, a big black-hearted capitalist, is somewhat unhappy.

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

When Kate said this, she cast her eyes on Eric vaguely.

"Ha ha......"

Eric feigned a silly smile and didn't answer.

If he asks "who is that", there is a high possibility that Kate will wink her charming eyes and say "of course it's you, boss"~www.readwn.com~ Due to the comparison of her own debts There are many, so it is not easy to provoke this woman who is not easy to provoke at first sight.

"It's better than this. I'll visit your house this Saturday."

Eric said something that surprised Kate.

"Ok?"

Kate stared blankly at Eric, and her slightly shy and angry emotions because Eric didn't answer her words were swept away, replaced by a dull expression.

"What's the matter? Are you not welcome?"

Eric stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Kate.

"Ah?! Of course you are welcome."

Kate's expression became a little more subtle.

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

She just said something 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 with each other and pushing the door open and entering the room, under the surprised gazes of their parents, especially the mother who always prefers patriarchal women, after she generously introduced to her mother, "This is my male boyfriend, the boss of the company I work for", Funny and strange expressions of mother and family...

"Ah......"

She covered her mouth and laughed.

Eric next to him was inexplicable.

Is the reaction necessary?

Why don't you come to visit this little thing? Do you need to be so surprised?

It can only be said that in this wave, the two of them did not think of going together.

Eric thought that the visit was simply to tell Kate's thoughts, and it was best to stop her parents from persecuting her.

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