Kissed By The Baddest Bidder's Daughter

Chapter 2: Boyfriend?

"I decided how I'm going to use this man."

"What?"

"He's going to be my boyfriend," Natalie announced.

I can't believe my ears.

It must be the same for the others, because there's a long pause before they react.

"Are you serious?" Tiffany said with a shocked face.

"Yeah," Natalie smirked.

"I knew you had a thing for Alex, Mistress," Katelyn commented.

"I hope you don't have an ulterior motive," Jojo implied.

Of course she had one," Kisaki said.

"H-Hang on a second," I said.

Oops, I spoke without permission! I'm going to get in trouble again!

Miss. Ichinomiya stares at me.

"Why are you so quiet? You're my boyfriend. Speak freely."

"What? O-Okay..."

I'm confused because I didn't expect her to say that, but I manage to pull myself together.

"But if I'm going to be your boyfriend, what about the man who was just here?

"What about him?" she asked.

Miss. Ichinomiya asks, a puzzled expression on her face.

"Um, aren't you in a relationship with him?"

"I don't have relationships with men."

"Then why were you alone together?"

"He approached me so I entertained him. That's it."

That's terrible...

"But what exactly do you mean by me being your boyfriend?" I asked. "What about my job and my apartment and..."

Miss. Ichinomiya takes her cell phone out of her pocket and places a call.

Who is she calling?

"It's me. Come to the penthouse lounge immediately."

About two minutes later, someone enters the room.

What?! Mr. Sato, the manager?!

"I'm sorry for the delay," he said.

"For the time being... What's was your name again?" Natalie asked.

Huh? Katelyn and Jojo called me by my name. Didn't she hear?

"...Alex Daniels," I answered.

"I'll be using Alex here for the time being," Natalie stated. "He'll have to be excused from work occasionally."

"Of course, Mademoiselle," the manager replied.

"Also... I'll be taking Alex to the boutique downstairs to do some shopping with me."

"Of course. It will be ready in five minutes."

"Good."

"I'll be leaving now, Mademoiselle."

Mr. Sato bows his head deeply to Miss. Ichinomiya and leaves the room.

"Wait a second. Why did Mr. Sato... It was like he..." I started. "I mean, I know you work for the Ichinomiya Group, but..."

"You didn't tell him yet, Natalie?" Tiffany cut in and asked.

"There was no reason to," she replied. "I own the Tres Spades."
