Chereads / [QT] SAVE THE VILLAINESS : SYSTEM IN PROGRESS / Chapter 20 - This is unexpected

Chapter 20 - This is unexpected

"What do you think about my idea?" He asked Becca seriously.

"I refuse!" Becca frowns when she hears his Idea. "She doesn't have any achievements that make her deserve a place in the student's council." Becca stares at the male lead in the eye while sitting uprightly. "Unlike Caroline, who is good at studies or good at sports like Cole Ryder, she is average!"

"I agree with Becca." My words again put me in the center of attention. At the same time, I also take off my glasses before pushing my hair to the back of my head. A few strands of hair keep entering my eyes. After clearing the obstacle, I clean my glasses a few times before putting them back on. " My position in this school is pretty average. The fact that I was able to enter this school is because my parents can afford this school. My result is pretty average."

The male lead nods a few times before talking. "Do you know the difference in student council between our school and other schools?"

I let out a sigh while leaning on the couch. "I know…" There is information about that in the novel. It is related to Caroline's reason for joining the student council. In short, entering the students' council can actually brighten the future of its member. Because most of the members are all elite people who have a bright future, It helps all the members to build connections. That's why Caroline was bullied when she became a member of the students' council in the novel. People are jealous of her. And it's late in the future before the male lead realized that Caroline is being bullied. She has a pretty hard life in the first year of high school.

Luckily, this time it is different for Caroline. She manages to receive the male lead protection early. In addition, even Becca promise to protect Caroline as a member of the student's council. Even better, they didn't become enemies, and that's a relief.

"Good! Then you must know about a few exceptions for someone to enter the students' council." The male lead asked me while leaning his body forward a little bit.

"Some people can apply to enter the students' council as an assistant to any high-ranking members," I shrug my shoulder while telling him the information. This system was created because many people want to enter the students' council. The school just plays along and lets this system exist. But, the decision to have an assistant is in the hand of the members themselves. So, it's still hard to enter.

"That's right! That's why I recommend you to become Rebecca's assistant!" the corner of his mouth moves upward and turns into a smile.

"Why can't Ava becomes your assistant?" Caroline, who has been keeping silent until now, asks the male lead with a tilted head.

"The same reason why I want you to refuse the offer to join the students' council," Becca answers with a hint of boredness in her voice. It shows that she's used to this situation.

It took Caroline a minute to finally understand what Becca meant. For someone to become the president's assistance is like becoming an enemy to all the women in this school.

"But, what's my role as an assistant?" I look at both the president and the vice president while thinking, ' I think joining is a pretty good offer. I can keep watch on Caroline and Becca's from any misunderstanding. I can also get to know Becca and resolve the problem with her family."

"You sounds like you agreed to be my assistant?" Becca looks at me with a brow raised. Her arms are still crossed in front of her.

"If you agree with the president's idea," I answer with a smile on my face.

"Last time I decided to accept an assistant, she keeps ignoring the works I gave her and trying to get close to the president." There is a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Oh, So that's what the commotion with your former assistant all about?" The president asked without any fluctuations in his voice. Sounds like he expected this to happen.

"You mean the green-haired girl that hit Ava just now?" This question has made Caroline receives a scary look from Becca.

"So, Jessica hit her on the way out?" The male lead asks with no expression on his face while Becca is just waiting for Caroline's answer.

"Ye…yeah! When she saw both of us outside the door, she intentionally bumped Ava on her way out. There was clearly so much room around us, but she decided to bump Ava!"

"I see…" The male lead nodded a few times. " You shouldn't accept her as an assistant in the first place." His voice sounds like he is mocking Becca.

"Her resume shows that she's capable. Who would have thought she has a problem with her brain?" Becca just rolls her eyes after hearing the mocking tones from the male lead. "Anyway," Becca looks at me before speaking. "I do need a capable assistant that won't hold me back, finished the task I gave, and can stand up for herself. But!" Becca let out a heavy sigh. " Do not expect that I will give you special treatment just because the president recommends you!" She let out a sigh before pinching the bridge of her nose. " I do hope that you are fast to learns new things when you become my new assistant."

"Don't worry! I will." I promised her. "But, I'm curious about why you recommend me in the first place?" I asked the male lead. " I'm not even talented. Everything I did is pretty average."

"You are capable of making me realize a few things. That's a talent itself. Everything else is pretty simple. You don't have feelings for me so, that's a relief because I'm getting annoyed with Rebecca's former assistant." He leans on the couch while looking up before closing his eyes. "I just make this decision on the spot. It's better to ask someone who I know will not annoy me in the future rather than wait for another person."

"Wow… that's a pretty simple excuse." The corner of my mouth can't help but twitch a few times because of my forced smile. 'A selfish excuse too because Becca doesn't seem to get any benefit from this. Good thing I'm not average like everyone in this world thought.'
