THE OUT OF MY LEAGUE

05

The next day after Lily picks up Mary, Lily is immediately contacted to Darren's office. It's Lily's first time there. So he did not know what was going on until his master suddenly told him this.

“Mommy, Mommy, is it true we'll meet Daddy?”

Aih, Lily had not gotten used to such a call. She was only a country lady, such a sumptuous call did not suit her.

Lily chuckled. “Iya.”

Mary jumps up and walks with Lily into the 15-storey building. Straight to the reception desk on the first floor, Lily asked Darren to a woman with a mole on the edge of her right eye. But said the receptionist, Darren is in a meeting and will be finished at 11:25.

Lily waited in the lobby with Mary playing on the couch looking through the magazine. Lily chuckles little to see Mary who only looks at the magazine picture without reading the contents.

“Ehem!” Someone from the back surprised Lily with a small cough greeting.

“Hey! New face huh? I haven't seen you around here.”

Lily tergugu's. He doesn't know English! The vow. All his life he never liked that one lesson. So Lily never paid attention to her teacher when teaching. Then 6 years after Darren, Lily only knows yes and no. Lily sometimes hears Darren speaking in English over the phone, but she still doesn't catch any intent because she's never interested.

But now, Lily was embarrassed for not hearing her teacher back at school.

“Hah?”

The man laughed crisply at Lily's adorable dumb expression.

“I asked, did you first come here?”

Lily blinked then realized, then smiled while nodding. “Ah .. yes, I'm first time here.”

The man immediately took a seat next to Lily and looked at her. “I see ... that's why you look unfamiliar.”

Lily still looks lost. He just looked at the man's face. The owner of the face was smiling.

“Ah, you must have just seen a handsome face like me this, huh?” Confidently he showed off his face in a funny way.

Lily waved her hand in front of the chest. “Not, not so. I just don't understand English, so don't know ...” Lily looked down deeply, her sentence continued to be swallowed just like that, embarrassed.

“Yaaah! I thought because you were fascinated with my face,” The interlocutor pretended to be sad, then he was cheerful again. “But it's okay! Ah, you should have said that earlier. I feel guilty, hehehe .. By the way, what's your name?”

Lily blinked. This man's energy is so much that he can speak quickly in one breath.

“Lily?” Lily herself is not sure if she should introduce herself to this foreign man or not.

“Oooh, Lily. Meet, I'm Mike!” Mike stuck out his hand, bringing in acquaintances. Lily greeted him with a smile.

“Omong-by the way, who are you here to see?” Mike asked after removing Lily's hand.

What to answer? Meet her husband? His employer?

“I want to see the father of the child.” Lily pointed towards Mary.

“Ooh, means you're here to see your husband?”

Lily grimaced. You could say so, but not until so. It's not official yet, just pretend. Aih, Lily's dizzy!

Mike suddenly screeched. “Ck! Though I like you, apparently you already have.” Mike smiled confidently until his dimples appeared. She melted Lily's heart right then and there.

Aih, heart! Lily was cute again.

Mike immediately chuckled as he waved in front of his face. “I'm just kidding, don't have to put up a face like that.”

Isha! What does it mean to say that! Lily was upset suddenly.

“Lily?”

Someone's spontaneous call caught Lily's attention.

“Ayaaah!” Mary got off the couch and hugged the leg of the figure standing not far from Lily and Mike.

Mike glared then whispered, “Darren is your husband?”

Not answering, Lily stood up straight. It was as if he had just been caught seducing one of Darren's employees. Where behind Darren were some neatly-tuned people staring at him again.

“Ke here Lily,” call Darren.

“Sorry yes, I'm sorry.” Lily half-whispers with an apologetic look at Mike and then runs over to Darren.

“Iya?”

Darren stared intensely at Mike from afar, then gave Mary to Lily.

“You guys wait in front of the elevator, I will take my client out first and we can talk in my office after this.”

Lily hesitated. “Good.” Then step away with Mary and occasionally glance at Mike who is still sitting there.

“You know Mike?”

Asked suspiciously by Darren like that while Lily just sat herself on the sofa, of course she was surprised.

“Ah, that ...we just got to know today. Mike asked me what I was here for and who I was going to meet. That's it.”

“Only that?”

‘And also earlier Mike had said that he liked me and was very sorry that I already had.’

Lily didn't say that. Afraid he misunderstood himself. Lily herself wasn't sure why a handsome guy like Mike would like her. He said he was only joking, but it felt serious. Lily is just a babysitter.

Lily nodded. “Iya. That's it.”

Darren's shoulder no longer stiffened, his head nodding in understanding. Then he suddenly remembered. “Ah, but be careful with it.”

“Eh?”

“He's a playboy. His father sent him here to learn business from me. He had attended college in America, but his father felt he was still not quite capable. That's why he works here. I've been watching him for a month, and his habits haven't disappeared at all, so you should be careful with him. Keep distance.”

Lily blinked. Darren talked a lot today. She didn't sound calm, more like a panic and full of warning according to Lily.

Lily nodded. That's the best way not to stress her employer out.

“Then, Mister calls me here on what business?”

Darren suddenly grimaced. “Don't call me Master here. Just call my name from now on. We have known him for 6 years. I'm getting tired of hearing it.” Darren was acting strangely, he avoided Lily's gaze.

Lily spontaneously advanced her body from the back of the chair. “What is this one of our plans too?” Lily whispered innocently with a curious look.

Darren looked at Lily for a moment, thinking. “You could say so.”

Lily opened her mouth while nodding. “Ah .. so yes.”

Darren suddenly stood up from the sofa and stepped onto his desk. Then return with an ATM card.

Darren sighed as he sat back on the sofa. “ Anyway I called you because I want to give you this.”

Lily blinked when given the black ATM card. He didn't know it was an ATM card. It was different from the ATM card he used to see. It says American Express. In the lower right corner is the name Darren McGold.

“What card is this, Mister?”

Darren hissed biting his lips. “I told you to call me Darren. Darren.”

Lily laughed grimly.

Darren sighed again, then looked at the card in Lily's hand. “That's an ATM card. Blackcard's. You ever heard of?”

Lily shook her head.

“That's a card without limits. It means you can buy anything without worrying about running out of money. I gave this to your makeover.”

“Makeover? What is it?”

“I know it's been a hassle, but tonight there's a meeting of fellow businessmen from several countries. I need an escort, and I don't want anyone else. Last time they made fun of me for coming alone. So I want you to go with me tonight. That's why you have to beautify yourself.”

“But I don't know about business.”

“We will not discuss business there. We were just having fun, sharing stories, and yes ..” Darren tilted his head. “Maybe a little about investing.”

“So I will only be near you during the event, so?”

Darren nodded. “Absolutely. You don't have to do much. Enough is always beside me, and you'll be safe.”

“Then ... How about Mary? Who will take care of him?”

Only then did Darren remember. “Ah, I've thought about it. I'll leave it to my secretary.”

“What is no hassle?” Lily looks guilty.

Darren waved, hinting that it was no big deal at the moment. “You don't worry about that first. Anyway tonight you should be ready. Now go to SM Mall of Asia with my deputy secretary. He will manage your spending. Okay?”

Lily hasn't had time to digest everything, as Darren says it all while pulling Lily's hand out of her room. Lily reluctantly leaves for fear of leaving Mary with a stranger.

But, while passing through the secretary's translucent room and seeing Mary play with Darren's secretary, Lily blinked.

Is it really okay to leave the child alone for a day?

Unfortunately, Darren's deputy secretary has led Lily away from the building.

Why has her employer lately become so careless like this, huh? Leaning against the car door while looking out, Lily thought of the strange thing that happened to her employer during her trip to SM Mall of Asia.
