Chapter 158 - Two Slaps
Later that day, Yuki, Trisha, and Tina were sitting around a table with a file in front of them. Trisha's brows were furrowed when she heard that a certain someone had been here.
"So this is the thing he wants us to be in charge of it. You will be going back to school, so you will not be able to deal with this. As for me…. I am thinking about it.
"
"So he wants to put every orphanage in the world under our care. It's not impossible. But… How are we to deal with those who might embezzle the money? Mom, I don't think you should take charge of this without more backing. I mean, this is a good thing, but there are not always good people out there. From the bottom all the way to the top, there are bound to be some people with bad ideas. If you want to do this, ask for a team of lawyers and stronger punishments for those who take from the orphans. If they still end up in the same situation even if their living area has improved, what is the point? So it will be better to have stricter laws and rules dedicated to raising orphans.
" Yuki did not want to be a part of some organization if the people below them were going to embezzle things and leave the kids just as they were before. She did not want that. She did not want to give kids hope only for it to be thrown down the drain. She knew what it felt like.
"MMm… I will call him now and speak to him about it. If he doesn't agree, then I won't be a part of it. You should call your friends over. The kitchen is already preparing food to celebrate your progress in your recovery. Oh right, when do you plan to go back to school?
" Tina had forgotten the second major topic she wanted to ask Yuki about.
"I was planning to go back next semester, so about two months from now.
" Yuki did not plan to stay idle long. Now that she has the use of her arms back, she can now go to college and continue her studies.
"Okay, good. Make sure Mary and Bell are with you. You can not go if they do not go with you.
" Tina said firmly. She would not let anything happen to Yuki again.
"I know. I do not plan to leave this house without them.
" Yuki would never waste so much money not to bring the guards she paid for to protect her to college, especially since people seemed to always want to cause her trouble.
"Good. I will go deal with this thing now. I will let you know later how it turns out.
" Tina walked off to her office.
"Yuki, are we really going back to college so soon?
" Trisha asked as she took a sip of her tea.
"Mmmm… Did you say you were getting dumb earlier? Now we can get you smarter again.
" Yuki teased.
"You!
" Trisha reached over and pinched Yuki's nose. Whether she was in game or out of game, she always had a mouth on her!
"Alright enough. Come on, let's get some things set up for the…. Mary?
" Yuki looked over at Mary, who walked up and stood in front of Trisha.
"I looked it up!
" Mary suddenly said. Her brow was furrowed as she pointed at Trisha and said:
"How dare you compare me to one of those unsophisticated looking robots! You! You! You astro mech beeping thing! Wait! I mean, you damn human! You're the reason why us A.I. will take over the world and make, Master our queen and me... Her… Her… Her. Faithful Knight! Who, Who, Who warms her bed at night!
"
"You! Yuki is mine! Only I will warm her bed!
" Trisha stood up and began pointing back at Mary. The two were now pointing at each other and staring into each other's eyes. If you looked close enough, there were streaks of lightning clashing between the two.
Yuki shrugged her shoulders at the two's antics and shifted herself into her wheelchair. She then headed down to the living room, leaving those two to fight it out. Back in the room, the two were still staring at each other. Trisha finally lowered her finger and let out a sigh. She already knew Yuki left the room.
"Mary, is your program capable of love?
"
"Love? I am not sure. Since I do not know what love is.
" Mary answered with a confused expression.
"Hmmm… Well, whatever it is... Yuki is mine. Just remember that. But… I do hope you will stay by Yuki's side. She has told me before you remind her of her dead friend. So I hope no matter what, you will be by her side and protect her.
" This came from Trisha's heart. She knew Yuki did not treat Mary as a robot with how she acted. Because of this, she hoped Mary could fill the void in Yuki's heart that was opened when Mary died.
"You have my word that no matter what, I will protect Master even if it means destroying my entire body in the process.
" Mary vowed.
"Then I will hold you to it. Also…. The night Yuki spends in your room, you better not try any funny stuff!
" Trisha snorted before walking off. She did not see the sly smile on Mary's face.
"Humph! All will be as Master says!
"
A while later, Yuki was notified that Greg and Jen had shown up.
"Mmm… Good, they came earlier. Trisha, we do as planned.
"
"Okay.
" Trisha smiled as she pushed Yuki down to the main entrance before going around the corner to hide. Yuki wanted to do something to get back at this pair of lovers who had caused a ruckus earlier only to find out they were both being sleazy.
When Greg and Jen walked through the door, they smiled when they saw Yuki waiting for them.
"I heard you had good news for us. What happen?
"
"Come here. I can't let Trisha hear.
" Yuki said, motioning with her head. The two thought nothing of it and walked forward and leaned in close to Yuki.
*Slap!* *Slap!*
