The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 317: Her Villain Becomes Astute in the Hands of the Boss!
Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Her Villain Becomes Astute in the Hands of the Boss!
Inside the car.
The road to the academy is somewhat quiet.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at Samuel Chalmers next to her.
The golden light covering his body brightly illuminated the entire back seat, making it somewhat difficult for her to discern his expression through the light.
After only a short glance, she decided to give up and directly asked him,
"Are you angry?"
Her straightforward question slightly startled Samuel Chalmers, yet his expression remained emotionless and he did not reply; instead, he asked back,
"Why do you ask that?"
"I feel like you are angry." Scarlett rarely looked puzzled.
She felt she hadn’t misspoken but for some reason, it seemed like she had upset him.
After some thought, she ultimately chalked it up to Boss Chalmers’ temper being quite unpredictable.
Especially with Boss Chalmers being a perfectionist, maybe her hairstyle’s slight asymmetry had annoyed him today?
Seeing her seriously analyzing the reason, Samuel Chalmers slightly narrowed his eyes and asked her again,
"If I were angry, what would you plan to do?"
Scarlett thought to herself, how would she know what to do?
Wasn’t she just asking him now?
But seeing Boss Chalmers showing no intention of explaining, she thought about it—having troubled him quite a bit today, maybe she should... appease him?
Thinking this, she suddenly took out two pieces of Yellow Talisman Paper from her small backpack.
Her hands quickly cut the Yellow Talisman Paper into the forms of little papermen, sized and shaped precisely according to Boss Chalmers’ preference, perfectly to the last detail.
Samuel Chalmers just watched her movements, the two little papermen not being unfamiliar to him.
Once Scarlett had finished cutting them, she quickly placed them on Samuel Chalmers’ legs.
"For you."
Samuel Chalmers raised an eyebrow, but as soon as Scarlett’s words fell, her hands swiftly formed a Sealing gesture, and in the next moment, Spiritual Energy pulled the two little papermen, which then sluggishly stood up on his legs.
With their slightly chubby figures, as soon as they steadied themselves, they first looked up at Samuel Chalmers, then in unison, bowed deeply to him.
Samuel Chalmers looked down at the little papermen standing on his legs, remaining silent.
Seeing he had no reaction, Scarlett thought for a moment, quickly recalled the Dharma Seal and spell Stella Gibson previously used to control dolls, and rapidly changed her hand seals.
The two papermen seemed to receive new instructions and began to dance on Samuel Chalmers’ legs, their movements progressing from clumsy to smoothly fluid.
Despite having no expressions, they somehow conveyed a sincere eagerness to please.
The corners of Samuel Chalmers’ lips slightly twitched, and the aura around him softened.
Scarlett, sensing the change in Samuel Chalmers’ emotions, also slightly curved her lips into a smile, again altering her hand seals.
The two little papermen began holding hands and spinning in circles.
Samuel Chalmers simply watched these two little creatures dance for quite some time.
It wasn’t something new; after all, whether it was drones dancing in the air or digitized virtual creatures, he could watch them anytime.
Those performances were even more spectacular than the clumsily dancing papermen before him.
But these two were different.
Samuel Chalmers couldn’t quite describe the feeling.
It was like he couldn’t clarify his feelings towards Scarlett Jennings either.
Unexpectedly having a "fiancée" in name, even though she never pointed it out, because of this relationship, Samuel Chalmers couldn’t just ignore her.
The more he cared, the more he subconsciously indulged.
The more he indulged, the more protecting her seemed like the natural thing to do.
By the time he realized, he had never actually resisted this sudden "fiancée".
It was as if she was meant to be there.
Compelled by some unknown force, Samuel Chalmers reached out his hand towards the two little papermen.
Noticing this, Scarlett’s thoughts stirred slightly, and the two papermen immediately jumped onto his palm.
Then, before her unexpected gaze, the two little creatures gradually began to be enveloped by golden light.
As if, they were being accepted by the golden light itself.
Apricot eyes slightly widened, Scarlett Jennings was somewhat stunned.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred since she had known Boss Chalmers.
Sensing the change in her emotions, Samuel Chalmers slightly turned his eyes, his voice cool but casual,
"What is it?"
Scarlett pressed her lips together and said seriously, "My little paperman, it’s glowing in your hand."
The golden light on Samuel Chalmers’s body existed solely on him and would not make an object shine simply by touching it, otherwise the entire Chalmers Family villa would be glowing.
Since the golden light does not spread through touch, it could only mean... Samuel Chalmers consciously shared the golden light with the little paperman.
It was as if he had tacitly allowed her to pluck golden light from him after the first permission, and thereafter she could easily gather several more without using her spiritual power.
Thinking of this possibility, Scarlett Jennings suddenly entertained a bizarre guess.
Her fingers twitched slightly as she quietly withdrew the spiritual power she had placed on the two little papermen.
Yet the two golden light little papermen did not collapse but continued to hop around in the palm of Samuel Chalmers’s hand.
Scarlett Jennings’s brows twitched.
It was as if they had come to life.
The little paperman she casually crafted truly seemed to have spiraled into life in the Boss’s hand!
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but look towards Samuel Chalmers.
Boss, what other surprises do you have that I don’t know about??
Boss Chalmers, unaware of Scarlett Jennings’s inner turmoil, seeing that the two little papermen were still moving, assumed it was Scarlett Jennings’s magic.
The drive from the downtown area to Silent Peak took a full two hours, and they kept moving in the car the whole way.
Samuel Chalmers couldn’t help but glance at Scarlett Jennings.
Moving for so long... Doesn’t it consume spiritual power?
It also seemed unnecessary to appease them for so long.
...
The car stopped at the foot of Silent Peak, and the driver got out to open the back car door for Scarlett Jennings first.
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but glance sideways.
The two little papermen seemed to finally know tiredness, now obediently sitting on Samuel Chalmers’s lap.
And the golden light on them showed no signs of weakening.
A certain itch arose in Scarlett Jennings’s heart, and she was very tempted to take them home for research.
Her apricot eyes struggled just a bit before Scarlett Jennings quickly made up her mind, and thanked Samuel Chalmers,
"Thank you for bringing me here. I can go up the mountain by myself from here."
As she spoke, she naturally reached out her hand, intending to take back the two golden light little papermen from Samuel Chalmers’s lap.
However, before her hand could touch the little papermen, Samuel Chalmers was one step ahead. The two little papermen swiftly climbed into the palm of his hand.
Scarlett Jennings caught nothing, looking somewhat bewildered at Samuel Chalmers, who simply tilted his head slightly, his tone somewhat teasing, "Didn’t you say you were giving them to me?"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Indeed, she did say that she was giving them to him.
But at that moment, weren’t they just two ordinary little papermen...
"I thought about it, they might cause trouble for you having them, so it’s better if I take them back."
Scarlett Jennings spoke with conviction, once again reaching out her hand.
Not wanting this, Samuel Chalmers clenched his palm, still fixating on her, "Tell the truth."
Scarlett Jennings, her little scheme seen through, blushed slightly at the tips of her ears and honestly said,
"They seemed to have come alive after touching your golden light, I wanted to take them back to research."
Samuel Chalmers was somewhat surprised by her words, but had no doubts, glanced at the two little papermen in his palm, thought for a moment, and picked up one to place in her hand.
"Since I’m giving them to you, I can’t take both back, I’ll share one with you."
One for each.
Scarlett Jennings hesitantly looked down, watching the little golden light paperman in her palm tilt its head to look at her, feeling oddly touched.
What happened to the obsession with pairs and matches??
