🐉 XXXII: Happening Again

The CEO offered her an unbelievable amount of money for the original algorithm, they had tried to make it work with only the parts of Kirito's notes without succeeding and that's why he had hired the BD into looking out for them. Despite the great offer, she didn't trust any of it.

Y/n was trying to look for a way to benefit the gang, making her seem useful and gaining their trust but also wanted to reject the man's promises but didn't want to affect the business relationship between the two parties... she was having a hard time in her head for sure.

"Jimmy, I appreciate your interest in my work, but I'll be honest with you, I'm still in the process to finish it and I already have a better option than yours."

He was deeply offended but showed an amicable face by the urgency of having her work. "My name isn't Jimmy, miss. I'm..."

"Whatever, Jimmy, besides, I'm concerned that your company had increased the need for the BD's protection in the last months, it only comes to my thought that you've been struggling with threats of lawsuits. Debts, maybe? I don't want my work to be released by a company with a bad reputation. Thank you again." She stood up from the chair at the main desk and was about to cross the office when she was stopped by a desperate scream.

"We will wait for you to finish! And I'll double my first offer, but..." The CEO got up from his previous seat and bowed in supplication. "... lend us your work, miss. This will be our proudest release and will take us out of the actual state we're in."

Y/n turned around feeling a bit of pity and embarrassment, even Taiju was attentive and quite amazed that she made the grown old man almost cry.

"Also I want to be a practicer here next school year and I want the patent." In her try to be a business girl, her voice came out serious and demanding.

"YES! Yes, whatever you ask, miss!"

"I'm still worried about my safety, though..." She gave a wary gaze to Taiju, signaling it was his turn to intervene while she put on an act, faking being vulnerable. "This project has arisen dangerous people's attention and adding your threats records, I... I don't feel ensure at all."

"We can arrange that." The leader cleared his throat to keep the bargaining with a husky tone. "It'll cost you extra, of course. We'll protect her for you, Jimmy, no one will take the miss under our guard."

The man with joy and tears finally stood up and agreed to everything. "Put it a price."

"A million."

"I am offended." She faked a gasp and crossed her arms looking away.

"Per week."

✱

The big guy seemed to be in a good mood after having their usual payment and the extra amount for looking for her adding the new weekly money for taking care of her.

There were a couple of hours left until her next task, so, in his hideous mind, he thought it would be a good idea for them to get dinner before heading there.

It was time to finally get to know the Shiba family in their home.

Y/n was worried about what could happen but at the same time wanted to know firsthand how things were and if she might be able to help.

Yuzuha was waiting for them at the entrance with a grim semblance and crossed arms. "Taiju, let her go home."

"I'm fi..."

"What are you doing, Yuzuha? Go and place the table, I'm starving!" Completely ignoring her, the older sibling made his way in followed by Y/n and Hakkai, while the guards waited outside.
