Robot Protection Zone Chapter 101

Somehow, after we finished taking all the measurements, we looked around at the suits hanging inside.

I walked around the shop, trying on suits that had a ‘master-like’ feel to them. But every time I put one on, the whole vibe of the clothing changed. With a slight sense of disappointment, I was hanging a jacket back in its original spot when I asked my master a question.

“Um… I want to try on Mr. William’s clothes too.”

“This? It’s custom-made, so I doubt there’s another one with the same design.”

“No, the one you’re wearing right now.”

When I pointed to the jacket my master was wearing and said that, he took off the jacket as if it were no trouble at all and handed it to me.

The first thing that brushed against the tip of my nose was the heavy scent of cologne. Pretending to check the sleeve length, I sniffed around and even managed to find my master’s body scent that had soaked into it.

The jacket was too big for me, but at the same time, it was very cozy. As the warm heat enveloped my body, I felt as if I were being hugged by my master, and my chest started to tingle.

“Do you like that one?”

“Yeees…”

Thinking I liked the design, my master immediately called over the tailor and ordered a suit of the same design.

I didn’t bother to correct my master’s misunderstanding. The design wasn’t that important to me. I simply liked it for the sole reason that it was my master’s clothing. So, it didn’t matter what design the suit I would be wearing had.

In the end, I ordered several suits just as my master picked them out, and we left.

Getting into the car, I checked the time. We had only stepped out for a quick meal, but several hours had already flown by since we left the company. By now, the secretary had probably noticed that my master was gone and was frantically searching for him.

“Hmm… Something’s missing.”

Even after ordering a ton of clothes for me, my master, still feeling unsatisfied, gripped the steering wheel and fell into thought.

From inside my master’s jacket, a constant vibration was buzzing. It was undoubtedly a call from the secretary looking for him.

“Don’t you think we should go back to the company now?”

“You want to end our date already?”

“A date…?”

This outing was a date? Realizing that fact belatedly, my mouth fell shut.

If that’s the case… isn’t it a little too soon to end it? As the words suggesting we go back vanished from my lips, the corners of my master’s mouth slowly rose, as if he knew I would feel that way.

“Then shall we go to the department store? It’s been a while.”

“The place we went to last time?”

“Yes. Think of it as a new employee gift and pick out things you’ve always wanted.”

And so, we wandered around the department store picking out things for me until the sun went down. My master called it a new employee gift and bought me this and that, and he was even more enthusiastic about picking things out than I was. The pile of things to be delivered to the house was a truckload, to the point where I felt a little sorry just imagining how busy Sophia would be.

By the time we had dinner and came out onto the street, the air had grown chilly. The temperature was dropping quickly with each passing day, and it seemed like we would be able to see our breath soon. Feeling the cold wind, I hunched my shoulders slightly, and my master looked at me and asked.

“Are you cold?”

“A little.”

“Then let’s head in before you catch a cold.”

I nodded my head slightly. My master looked down at me with an adoring gaze, then, as if unable to hold back any longer, he lowered his head and tried to kiss me.

“Mr. William, we’re outside…”

“What does it matter. It’s what I want to do.”

Conscious of our surroundings, I pushed my master away. The city center was still crowded on a weekday evening. The sun set early, so it had quickly gotten dark, but the bright lights meant that wasn’t an issue for visibility.

“Didi, there just happens to be a paparazzi over there.”

My master turned my body to face a certain direction. As I looked straight ahead in that direction, I could really see someone standing far away holding a camera.

I turned back to my master and asked.

“Since when did you know?”

“Let’s see. Was it from when we entered the department store earlier?”

That was a lot earlier than I thought.

I frantically searched my memory. I didn’t get any weird pictures taken, did I? Flashes of memory, like looking at my master with a sensual gaze while thinking of last night, or secretly smelling my master’s scent, went by like a panorama. There were so many incriminating moments that my face gradually turned white.

“Why, why didn’t you tell me? I had no idea…”

“I’ll let you know from next time.”

My master, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, just laughed it off as if my surprise was cute. I was the only one burning up inside, glancing at the camera the paparazzi was holding.

Just then, my master whispered softly in my ear.

“Didi, now that you’re human, don’t you want to create a proper scandal?”

My ears perked up without me even realizing it. It wasn’t so much because of his seductively whispering voice, but because of the content within it, which made my heart pound loudly.

“You know what to do, right? Didi.”

Seeing my face turn completely flushed, my master’s lips curled into a smirk.

My master knew all too well how to persuade me. It was vexing how my master always became so cunning at times like this.

I stood on my tiptoes toward my master, who was watching me silently. And I gave him a light kiss.

Smooch.

As I pressed my lips firmly, my master gladly accepted my kiss and wrapped his arm strongly around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and entrusted my body to him. Pressed against my master’s firm body, I could feel every bit of his warm body temperature.

I gently closed my eyes and focused all my senses on the soft sensation on my lips. From far away, I thought I heard the click of a camera shutter.

A romance rumor with the CEO of the company I’m about to work for.

It was the best new employee gift.

We returned to the company late at night.

There was a small commotion when we ran into the secretary before entering the office. To the secretary, who was trembling with a sense of betrayal, asking where on earth he had been, my master informed him without any detailed explanation that a romance rumor would soon break out.

The secretary’s face turned pale upon hearing the shocking news. The commotion came to an end with the secretary frantically making a call to someone and running out of the office.

Now, my master was focusing on his work as usual.

In the quiet office, only the sound of my master typing and the occasional sound of paper turning could be heard. To me, those sounds felt like a lullaby.

Perhaps because I had gone to sleep late yesterday, my head kept nodding and dropping down. My eyes closed on their own.

I shouldn’t fall asleep while my master is working…

“Didi.”

“Yes!”

Half-asleep, I heard my master’s call and hurriedly answered in a clear voice. I lifted my head and wiped the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand, but thankfully, it seemed I hadn’t drooled.

“Come here.”

“Okay.”

I got up from my seat and approached my master. He, who had been sitting in his chair, pulled my arm. Willingly pulled by that force, I ended up on my master’s lap.

“Haaa…”

My master held me in his arms and took a deep breath. He seemed very tired, with a hint of exhaustion.

My master must be tired since he went to sleep late just like me. I raised my hand and gently patted his broad back. Feeling my touch, my master hugged me tighter, and I could feel him leaning his body against me.

After a while of that, my master lifted his head from the nape of my neck and murmured.

“Now I feel alive.”

With a face that looked much more refreshed than before, my master began to handle his work with me still in his arms.

I peeked at one side of the desk. There still seemed to be a lot of documents piled up, so it didn’t look like he would be finished anytime soon.

Meanwhile, my master’s embrace was warm. It even felt cozy, so it was a problem that my eyes kept closing. Tears welled up as I tried to hold back the constant yawns.

“Are you sleepy?”

In the end, I couldn’t fight off the encroaching drowsiness and my head drooped down with a large nod, which was how my master noticed my condition. I felt embarrassed and nodded slightly.

“Yes… a little.”

“We did go to bed late yesterday. If you’re sleepy, you can lean on me and sleep.”

Even as he said that, my master didn’t let me go from his arms.

As soon as I received permission to sleep, the thought that I had to fight my drowsiness melted away like snow. My heavy eyelids closed in an instant, and my vision was colored black.
