Chereads / Life As A Cannon Fodder / Chapter 4 - Shameless!!!

Chapter 4 - Shameless!!!

*TEettttt! Tteeett! TteeeeT!*

"Ugh...What an annoying sounds!!!!" I lift my face from the pillows and reach for the clock, "Shaddap..." and close it with a tap.

"What time is it....?" I squint my eyes and look at the time. " 7:30? Well... I work at 8.. so, that's 30 minutes away..." I buried my face in the pillow and continue to sleep.

The Sun Company- Serena's workplace

"To think she didn't come for a week for real...." I sigh as I lean on my chair. "Ugh..... What is she planning now...!?" I pinch the bridge of my nose and closes my eyes.

"Say, Mei, does she never pick up our calls!?"I ask my secretary as I lean towards my work desk.

"Except for the first call... She never picks up any call after that!". Her reply makes me feel the veins in my forehead pop out. " Really...." I smile at the secretary as she calmly reports the situation.

"What a troublesome worker," I sigh as I grit my teeth. "Send someone to check on her and report to me... I want to know what new trick she is planning...!" I wave my hand to Mei to work on it right now.

"Actually president..." I look up to see the secretary's hesitated expression.

"What is it..?" I ask.

"I've already done a few investigations on her... A few days ago.." She took a deep breath before continuing. "This is the report".

I pick up the report that the secretary has placed on my desk. I pick up the file and read it.

"..." After a few minutes, I grip the file tightly as I stare at my secretary. "Is this true..?"

The secretary takes a deep breath again before replying. "Yes President..."

My eyes become cold as I close the file. After a short moment of processing all the information, I've decided. "Give me her phone number".

Serena's house - 8:59 am

*RRiiinnggg!! RRiiiinnggg!!! RRiiinnggg!!!!*

" ugh... Who the hell call me this time..... " I grumble as I walk out of the toilet with a towel around my body. I didn't even get to wash off the shampoo on my hair when the phone rang.

I wipe my wet hands with the towel before picking up the phone. I didn't even think about who calls me at this time as I was in a hurry.

"Hello.. This is Serena speaking". I greet the caller while wiping the soap that almost gets into my eyes.

" Good morning..." A cold voice reply on the other side of the calls.

"I will come to work tomorrow". I respond with a serious expression when I hear the familiar voice.

"....." There is silence on her side. I smile happily as I walk back to the toilet with the phone still on my ear, still, there is no reply. I won't hang up the phone first, because that's not my style.

I connect the phone to the speaker and place it on the ceramic cabinet beside the sink before continue my bath. I open the shower and wash all the soaps on my hair and body.

"Are you inside the shower!!??" I rolls my eyes when I heard that response.

"Yeah... I was bathing just now when you call. I don't like the feeling of the soap sticking on my body too long so, I'm just continuing my unfinished business". I answer calmly as I close my eyes and feel the warm water hit my body as I stand still under the shower.

'It's been so long since I get to feel this sensation again'. I sigh.

*TUP*

" Huh!??" When I look at my phone screen, " it seems like she hangs up.." I chuckle before continuing my bath peacefully.

On the other side of the phone

"...." I look at the phone screen with a scowl before looking at my secretary, Mei.

She flinched before looking away from meeting my eyes and coughing two times.

"What did she said the first time you call her?" I take a deep breath before closing the phone screen and opening her report again. The report says that she only order takeaways during this week and never come out of the house. There is no suspicious movement and she never makes or answers any call except from the company on the first day and today and from her parents.

" The moment she knew the reason I called her, she quickly said that she will come to work again next week". Mei answers calmly but, her eyes shake slightly as she paused before saying the next sentence.

"And then..." I signal for her to continue.

"After she said her reason, I don't know what to ask anymore and wait for her to hang up", Mei close her eyes and grips the tablet in her hand tightly " But, she never hang up so, I can hear the sound of her...watching..."*ahem*" Mei coughed and her face turns red.

I of course know what Mei is trying to imply and my expression turns dark instantly.

"You know what... Forget about her!!" I support my face on my desk as I let out a sigh. "What about the other girl? Sharon Lee...?"

"This girl is working normally like always, mingling with the coworkers, I've checked her works and there is nothing wrong with it. No one knows that she is here to seduce you".

"... Keep watching her. We shouldn't let our guards down around them. They might have more tricks under their sleeves".

Suddenly, my phone rings with the ringtone that I've set, only special for my lover. A smile forms on my face as I answer the phones.

" Morning wifey~" I speak in a soft tone only for my beloved.

"Don't call me wifey!" Her voice is cold, but I know that she must be blushing right now.

"Don't be like that my love~ you must miss me right? I love you so much~" My expression ease as I lean on the chair and smile contently.

"Shut up, I...I..." She sounds like she is hesitating. 'Heh.. 'I smirk. Every time she is like this, that means she wants to ask me to spend time with her! She must miss me but is too shy to express it...

"What is it wifey~" I love it whenever she is being shy with me despite her cold temperament. She blushes and stutters, everything is perfect!!

"Let's eat together tonight!! There's something I want to discuss. About work! " she emphasizes the work part. I smile again.

"I can't wait for the date tonight". When I said that, she turns silent.

After a few seconds, "Huh!!? Who said that it's a date... I told you it's about work!! WORK!!" She raises her voice but it sounds very cute in my ears. I smile when I remember that this is also the same voice that moans and begs me for more whenever I tease her on the bed.

"Alright... Alright... It's about work", I hear my girlfriend sigh in relief when I accept her excuse. But, I smile evilly before continuing, " Work of our future life together that is!!" And then she hangs up. I laugh happily while texting her.

[Tonight, I will wear the best dress for you! ❤️ 〜( ̄▽ ̄〜) ]

Wifey: [ Do what you want! ]

I smile as I look at her reply a second after I text her.

[Wear the underwear I gave you last time! I also have a surprise for you!!!

💋 ~ ( ̄ε ̄〃)b ]

Wifey : [....]

After that she ignores me but I know that she will do what I say tonight. I keep smiling until I realized that my Secretary is still here.

She looks at me awkwardly before coughing again.

"Anyway, there will be a meeting at noon about the new project with the Stone Tech CEO and another meeting with the stockholders at 2 p.m.," she tells me my scheduled one by one and when I heard that there's nothing wrong with the time, I tell her to prepare.

I stand up from my desk and pick up my tablet. "Let's go... It's almost the time for the first meeting". I walk out of the office and go straight to the meeting room.

Back to Serena's house

"Ahhh!!! That was a good shower!!!!" I slump on the bed wearing only a black t-shirt and towel wrapping on my wet hair. I pick up my phone and look at the call logs.

For the past week, I realized that this body doesn't have that many friends. The only one who always calls her is her parents, some old colleagues from the college and the new addition are the people from her workplace.

Oh! Don't forget the man who pays for her to seduce her president!! If I'm not mistaken, his name is Colts Rayon. Ashely Rayon's uncle.

That man is planning to control the company and become the CEO instead. After Ashely's parent's death, her life is almost like hell with her stepmother and stepbrother also trying to get her to give up her power as the rightful owner of the company.

"Sigh... Being a Cannon fodder is hard...." To get even this little information, I have to do my research. " The information after I took this body is too little. Aside from her life, everything else is just a basic knowledge".

"My only mission is to fix the original owner's mistake and live a happy life. That's pretty easy cause I already avoid offending big people but..." I frown as I remember about the butterfly effect.

Going into a different world and living their lives to fix their mistakes as my punishment is a fact... But, that's too easy to be true.

Living as cannon fodder is the third-worst punishment with the second-worst punishment is living as an animal and the worst punishment is an as inanimate object. I shudder as I remember the story of someone living as a sex toy.

"Ughhhh...."

Anyway... " As a cannon fodder, the butterfly effect is bigger, harder, and dangerous than what the main character could create". I sigh.

"To make things easier... I need the halo of the main character... And the main character usually has a close relationship with the person the original owner had offended before. I let out a heavy sigh as I rub my face.

"The president and her girlfriend it seems...."
