Overcome by a wave of fatigue, Astra Yao couldn't help but let out a soft yawn, yet immediately after, she ran downstairs with a bit of impatience.
Ever since seeing the Silver Squad yesterday, she had been incredibly interested in those eleven identical young girls.
Hearing that they were currently training downstairs, the intensely curious Astra Yao immediately prepared to run down and spectate, unable to wait a moment longer.
However, Evelyn did not rush to follow.
After all, there was no place safer than Silver City.
She waved her hand at Astra Yao and said:
"You go down first, Miss. I'll come down after I clear out the emails that need handling this morning."
"Eh... alright. What about Andrew?"
Hearing this, Andrew shook his head and said:
"Leaving Eve here alone would be too lonely; I'll stay here and keep her company."
Hearing this, Astra Yao nodded in immediate understanding.
"Right! Then I'll go down by myself first!"
As Astra Yao skipped happily towards the downstairs area, Evelyn turned her head and whispered:
"Actually... you don't have to stay with me."
"It doesn't matter, I want to stay with you."
"Ugh..."
Shyness almost caused Evelyn to break directly from her working state. She hurriedly stood up first, avoiding Andrew's gaze.
It was as if staying up all night sleeplessly was already a common occurrence for her; Evelyn's energy was much better than the other two.
After avoiding Andrew's gaze, the original shyness was gradually suppressed as Evelyn thoroughly entered her working state, and that capable temperament once again radiated from her, from the inside out.
Before Andrew could even react, she had already begun to move nimbly, tidying up the room that had been messed up once again due to Andrew's sudden whim just a moment ago.
Because of the cleaning habits brought about by taking care of Astra Yao, and also to prevent others from discovering anything, Evelyn gently wiped and cleaned all kinds of traces on the furniture in the room.
She meticulously eliminated every single trace in the room. It was like an infiltrating spy eliminating all tracks they had left behind; her skilled movements could completely be called professional and relevant to her background.
It wasn't until she confirmed that no one, absolutely no one, could discover any other traces in this room that Evelyn, who had thoroughly entered working state, finally took out the mobile phone she carried with her. She sat directly on the sofa where they drank last night and began the work that a manager must perform every morning.
Andrew, who had never seen Evelyn's working state, couldn't help but lean in curiously to look.
He saw that as Evelyn opened the office software on the phone screen, in just an instant, a dense mass of new emails immediately appeared on the screen.
There were reliable ones and unreliable ones. At a glance, Andrew even saw an endorsement advertisement offer sent by a company selling athlete's foot medicine.
But the most terrifying part was the sheer quantity of files, which exceeded Andrew's imagination.
Because Astra Yao's popularity had skyrocketed after the concert event, the number of collaboration invitations Evelyn received now as her manager was several times higher than before.
Among the emails Evelyn received, whether it was variety show activities, interview talks, or advertising invitations, one could say every type was present.
After discovering Astra Yao's heat, these companies immediately swarmed over like a school of sharks smelling blood. Without exception, they all couldn't wait to get a share of the pie from this sudden surge in popularity.
As for the destruction caused by the monster invasion and the casualties of those outsiders... who cares about such things with no heat?
As her manager, Evelyn had long anticipated all of this. She put on a single earphone and prepared to start.
"Do you need my help?"
Hearing Andrew's words, Evelyn turned to look at him. While in her working state, she subconsciously revealed a faint smile, then shook her head and said:
"No, don't worry, I'll be done very quickly."
Although saying the source of the emails was a mixed bag of fish and dragons would be a compliment, this didn't stump Evelyn at all.
In Andrew's line of sight, Evelyn began to screen rapidly with unparalleled speed. Relying on comprehensive prior investigations, she could distinguish whether the corresponding enterprise had hidden dangers with just a single glance.
Any cooperation partners with problems or hidden dangers were decisively kicked out by her, leaving only the contracts that could be of great help to Astra Yao's idol career.
And for those that needed to be rejected, she also rapidly used different rejection templates to reply to the emails according to the other party's situation.
During this period, Evelyn even helped Astra Yao deal with Secretary General Hobson, who had come looking for her because of the extended rest time.
Just having finished tidying her clothes a moment ago, she started working the next instant. Everything proceeded methodically in Evelyn's hands.
The speed of processing was so fast that it made Andrew click his tongue. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"I really wonder who could be lucky enough to marry such a good girl like Evelyn as a wife. That person would absolutely be exploding with happiness!"
After all, while her own combat strength was capable, she could not only help you handle all possible troubles encountered in your career but also take care of you meticulously in life.
Even her culinary skills, which were her last weak point, she had already started learning from Andrew, and one could completely say her progress was godspeed.
Most importantly, Evelyn was also a top-tier great beauty.
From beginning to end, Andrew could only think of one word—Perfect.
Thinking of this, Andrew first pretended to look around as if searching for something, then couldn't help but laugh out loud proudly. Then, pretending as if he had just discovered it, he said shamelessly:
"Oh, it turns out it's me!"
Hearing Andrew's shameless sigh, even though she was in her working state, Evelyn couldn't help but give him a gentle, reproachful roll of her eyes. Subsequently, she turned her gaze back to the emails on her phone, ignoring Andrew's cringe-worthy words.
But although Andrew's words were cringe-worthy, once she thought about the identity of 'wife' mentioned within them...
Regarding that future, Evelyn unconsciously began to let her thoughts wander, subconsciously imagining the scene at that time. Involuntarily, a touch of rosy cloud began to quietly emerge on Evelyn's ear wearing the earphone.
It even began to spread towards her cheeks again.
Almost falling out of her working state due to shyness from the content she subconsciously imagined just now, Evelyn hurriedly shook her head, trying hard to fling the images constantly churning in her mind out of her head.
Subsequently, regarding Andrew who had been watching her by her side, Evelyn, who couldn't bear to say any harsh words, could only carry a trace of resentment and reproach as she gave Andrew another eye roll.
There was nothing heavier, because she couldn't bear it.
This scene, which was just like acting spoiled, made Andrew unable to resist leaning in closer again, kissing Evelyn's lips once more.
"Chu, mgh..."
Subconscious cooperation.
Until the two separated a moment later, Evelyn's capable temperament under her working state had been completely destroyed. The capable atmosphere was swept away clean.
What remained was the beautiful scene of a shy young girl.
If those who had once negotiated with Evelyn in cooperation matters saw the Evelyn from their memories—aggressive at the negotiation table with sharp words—revealing such an expression, they would absolutely have faces full of disbelief.
Back when she was the manager for the newly debuted rookie idol Astra Yao, someone had once tried to verbally harass her.
But in the very next second, the other party was directly subdued instantly by her sharp action, which carried a temperament like a blade edge.
When the other party, flustered and exasperated, prepared to strike back, she acted as if she had long been prepared. From the documents on the side, she directly took out a piece of evidence regarding a scandal the other party had hidden very well as leverage, directly causing the other party to lose all will to resist.
He had to accept that cooperation, which could be called an unequal treaty, and left in a wretched state.
This directly made everyone present at the time conclude: This woman is absolutely frigid. And she was as cold and dangerous as an emotionless blade.
But now, facing Andrew's teasing, she, who had to exit her working state, was just like an ordinary young girl.
She was carrying out so-called silent resistance against Andrew with an attitude of 'You are too bad, I'm going to glare at you with my eyes'.
Seeing this scene, those people would probably suspect if their eyes were seeing a fake Evelyn.
"Couldn't help myself, couldn't help myself. After all, Eve, you are really too cute."
The glared-at Andrew similarly noticed her reproachful expression. Knowing that his fault had affected the other party's work, Andrew laughed 'hehe', speaking with a bit of embarrassment.
Unable to resist sighing, Evelyn, who couldn't say any words of blame to Andrew, could only directly and helplessly exhort:
"At least when I'm working, wait a little bit."
"Yes! I know I was wrong!"
Hearing this, Andrew immediately and decisively admitted his mistake. A look of good attitude, actively submitting to reform.
Although Andrew had an expression of knowing he was wrong on his face, no matter how Evelyn looked at it, she felt there was a sentence hidden behind it—'I'll dare to do it next time'.
But once she thought of Andrew's reason for admitting his mistake just now, that she was cute...
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly again, before being immediately suppressed by Evelyn.
Forget it, if he dares, then let him dare.
Watching Evelyn enter her working state once again, Andrew on the side couldn't help but smile proudly. After all, anyone who experienced what happened last night wouldn't be able to stop smiling; Andrew would have to give him a thumbs up.
And Andrew's state need not be said much. Even with the Hunter's unparalleled physical constitution, after fighting hard all night with Astra Yao and the other two without drinking a Healing Potion, he had now completely entered Sage Mode.
But despite fighting one against three, he showed no signs of excess; instead, he looked refreshed and energetic.
After all, for Andrew, not sleeping for a night was not a problem at all. Drinking alcohol had absolutely no effect on Andrew either.
So compared to the trace of fatigue unconsciously revealed in the brows and eyes of Evelyn, who was in the best condition among the three girls, Andrew was looking radiant.
As if worried about making Andrew wait for a long time, and also afraid that if he waited too long he would interrupt her working state again, when Evelyn said it would be very quick, it was truly very quick.
In total, it only took a short twenty minutes. The emails in the phone that one couldn't scroll to the end of with a single pull had already been processed and replied to by Evelyn.
However, this was Evelyn's excessive worry. After all, in Andrew's eyes, the way Evelyn worked was extremely pleasing to the eye.
And by the time it ended, among so many emails, there were actually only a scarce few—less than ten—that were ultimately kept by Evelyn, ready for further negotiation on cooperation.
Compared to the originally massive base number, it could completely be said to be one in a hundred.
Looking at Andrew's surprised eyes, Evelyn was instead quite accustomed to it. She said seriously:
"Don't look at how there are only these few; this is actually already very many."
Saying that, Evelyn took out the record of emails cleared before and said:
"If it weren't for the concert event causing Miss's popularity to rise a lot, normally it would be the norm not to have a suitable one even after many days."
Looking at the mailbox status where emails for most days were deleted cleanly, it was enough to show that Evelyn's words were not false.
"More than ninety percent of those who come knocking actually know they have big problems, so they don't believe they can get approval. And ninety percent of the remaining ten percent are idiots who lack self-awareness."
Speaking of this, Evelyn also felt a headache from being annoyed. But after all, as Astra Yao's manager, in order to prevent possible omissions, Evelyn still had to look through these emails one by one.
But at least until today, no accidents had occurred.
Sighing with a bit of helplessness, Evelyn didn't have any solution for such things either.
"So they are completely just delivering constantly with the mindset that trying doesn't cost anything."
"Then isn't this just harassment spam?"
Hearing this, Andrew instantly understood where so many emails popped out from. Hearing this, Evelyn nodded in agreement and said:
"That's right, most of them are like this. So dealing with these things isn't as difficult as you think. Those competitor companies that are left behind and need to negotiate follow-up cooperation are the real trouble."
"The job of a manager is really hard work."
Hearing this, Evelyn immediately looked up, gazing into Andrew's eyes, and shook her head with incomparable seriousness:
"No, it was because of this identity that I met Miss and you. And it is precisely because of you two that I have the qualification to talk about happiness."
"So compared to my gains, just doing this little thing can't be considered hard work at all."
Hearing Evelyn's incomparably serious words, even Andrew, who always had thick skin, couldn't help but feel a little shy. Scratching his head, he said half-jokingly:
"Eve, hearing you say this, my face is turning red."
With the corners of her mouth hooking up involuntarily, Evelyn put the phone that had finished its work into her bosom. Her tone, however, remained very serious as she said:
"Just telling the truth, that's all."
With matters finished, it was also time to go down and eat. She tidied the blanket for the sleeping Belle, then left a bottle of Healing Potion at the bedside as a reserve.
Before leaving the room...
The room, which was a complete mess before, had already been tidied up by Evelyn to look brand new, as if the madness of last night was all an illusion.
But Belle sleeping peacefully on the bed and Evelyn clinging tightly to him made Andrew feel this sense of reality once again.
He really had three girlfriends now. This was something he wouldn't have dared to think about before.
