0664 Welcome to Metropolis! ٩( 'ω' )و
My name is Kayla Zorl......
More than 20 years ago, our people's home planet, Krypton, was in a devastating crisis, so for the sake of our family's continuation and the safety of my little cousin, Kyle El, he was put on a spaceship and sent to Earth shortly after he was born......
I think many earthlings should know his name and have heard his story, because he is very famous on earth, he is Superman Clark Kent!
But what you don't know is:
Almost at the same time, I, Kayla Zoel, was also boarded a spaceship by my parents and sent to Earth at the same time, in order to protect him, my little cousin Kyle El, who was not long after he was born!
In fact, I have been a little puzzled by this over the years......
They actually sent me, who was only thirteen years old at the time and was just a little girl, to protect my cousin on Earth, so that I, who might not even be able to take care of myself, to protect such a small baby? Are they sure that their brains are not funny?!
And then ......
What happened later validated my current thinking...... Anyway, something went wrong, and by the time I woke up again and finally managed to make it to this planet called Earth, my little cousin, Kyle El, had already turned into a strong adult Kryptonian!
Although, he still needs to call me cousin......
But no matter what, I became the one who needed to be taken care of, and spent more than ten years of ordinary life on Earth in peace and tranquility...... So, I had my own home, my own family, my sister and a job of my own......
And, of course, the old cousin who was probably about twenty years older?
Right now, I'm working for the Kak Media Group, working as an assistant to a super difficult and demanding female boss, which is almost a boring job of serving tea and water and passing the microphone.
I don't want that, but ......
That's all I can do, and that's how I have to work......
Because, the earthlings may not need another superhero, and they don't need more supermen......
————————
"Whew!!"
Sincere! Sincere!
Reaching out to make two knocks on the door, Kayla Danvers...... Or it can be said that after Kayla Zoel took a deep breath, made relevant mental preparations, shook off the thoughts about her own life experience, lamented her fate, and the difference between her circumstances and her old cousin, she gently pushed open the glass door of this office, walked in quickly, and was mentally prepared to be scolded inexplicably at any time.
"Good morning, Ms. Grant!!"
“??”
After first saying hello to the owner Kate Grant who was sitting in the leather chair behind the desk, expressing her respect and friendliness, Kayla looked around the other party's office with some curiosity and searched for it.
Weird......
What puzzled her was that she hadn't found anything in the president's office, which wasn't too big. Now, except for the domineering female president Kate Grant who is sitting upright, there is no superfluous person?!
However, before she knocked on the door just now, she had heard the sound of someone talking inside......
In the next second, before she could continue to find what she was looking for in the president's office separated by a single transparent glass wall, the female president Kate Grant was very impatient and locked on her with that very stern scrutinizing gaze:
"Ahem!"
"Have you seen enough? If you've seen enough...... Excuse me, what exactly are you looking for in my office, this Assistant Miss Kayla Danvers?! ”
As the CEO of Kak Media, as a woman who pays great attention to work efficiency, and is also the direct boss of the other party, Kate is very dissatisfied with the impolite behavior of the young assistant in front of her who wears glasses, seems to be shrewd, but does things without doing things, and can barely keep up with her rhythm at this time!
When the other party came in to look for him, not only did he not hurry to say the specific matter, but he was looking for something where he was standing...... The other party's approach made her very angry, and even a little suspicious, usually these guys, do they all work like this?!
"Huh!?"
"No, nothing! It's just that I just heard you talking to a little girl inside, so I thought there was ...... here."
Kayla Danvers dared to swear by the honor of a Krypton: she had just heard this lady Kate in this office with her Kryptonian hearing beyond the imagination of an earthling, and heard that she was talking happily to a little girl, and it was a face-to-face conversation, not a phone call!
But......
Now that she came in, she didn't even see any superfluous people? Even, even if she used superhuman vision to look at the place behind her boss's desk that she couldn't see with ordinary eyes, she still couldn't see the little girl she imagined staying in her boss's office?
"What do you think?!"
"That's a ...... What a good employee! Are you all bored enough to spend all day outside my office door eavesdropping? Sure enough, I'm still a little too lenient with you......"
The stern expression on her face suddenly turned cold, and Kate Grant, the president and CEO, began to scan up and down the female assistant to the president who was standing in front of her desk with an extremely indifferent gaze.
"No, no, no! You misunderstood, I didn't eavesdrop, all of us didn't! ”
"I just...... When I came to knock on the door, I accidentally heard a little ...... I thought, maybe who are you calling or video calling? Next time, I promise, absolutely not ......"
It's a pity that before Kayla Danvers from Krypton could make up a more reliable excuse and help other employees who were innocently lying on the gun because of herself, she was ruthlessly interrupted by her female boss again.
"That's it!"
"Don't make any kind of clumsy and stupid excuses in front of me, Miss Kayla Danvers, if you continue to waste my precious time, you can submit a letter of resignation to me this time tomorrow!"
"Or maybe you can put your name on the Tribune's dismissal list yourself?!"
Regardless of whether the other party really heard something just now, anyway, she Kate Grant has always maintained a zero-tolerance attitude towards employees deserting during work hours or running to waste their precious time!
If the other party really recklessly broke in because he heard something, then this frizzy little girl surnamed Danvers, who has only been on the job for a long time, can indeed get out of the house tomorrow with a meager dismissal fee and find another job.
"Ahh I'm sorry, Ms. Kate, but I'm afraid you misunderstood, I really have other important things to do before I came in......"
"By the way, this is the latte you told me to buy, I think it should still be a little hot......"
After apologizing in a hurry, Kayla Danvers hurriedly put the drink she had been holding on the other party's table, and then quickly opened the folder where she was holding the drink, and began to report to her boss, to the domineering female president Kate Grant, who had a bad expression and threatened to fire her at any time:
"First ......"
"Lady Kate, what you told me to do the other day is almost done...... But the lawyers said that when you have time, it's best to take the little girl to the Federal Immigration Administration? ”
"You yourself should know that the little girl you went out on vacation and adopted back a few days ago, her documents and some records seem to be a little incomplete? Although the lawyers used some uh-huh..... some more 'special' methods to get it done, they still recommend that you take the little girl with you when you have time to meet with the officials of the Federal Immigration Administration, chat or something, and try to make a good impression on the other party. ”
"In that case, they think things might be easier and a little smoother......"
While cautiously glancing at her female boss, who was now a little unpleasant, Kayla Danvers carefully relayed what the lawyers had told her to convey on the document.
"Incomplete documents? Ha! It's ridiculous!! ”
took a sip of the latte that the other party brought to him, felt that the temperature was a little low, and then threw it directly into the garbage basket in disgust, Kate Grant said to the female assistant in front of him with a more serious and nervous look very disdainfully:
"Do you want me and my new family to come forward?"
"Kayla, is all the money I gave them fake? Something like this, they're going to trouble me? Tut! If the documents are complete, then what am I going to do with them?! ”
"Humph! Don't think I don't know, that kind of excuse is just a ridiculous way for them to show that their lawyers are competent...... Just wait, they don't need me to lead someone to do it themselves, whether it's a gift or something else, their professionals have a solution! ”
After raising her eyes and taking a deep look at the female assistant, who was still a little nervous, Kate Grant finally turned her attention back to the documents in front of her desk, ready to continue her work instead of arguing with the other party on topics that didn't make sense.
She Kate Grant paid the damn lawyers, and they had to get everything done for themselves as agreed, or why didn't she go through the troublesome process and meet the damn USCIS bureaucrats herself?
"But ......"
"Ms. Kayla, it's illegal to give gifts...... And that kind of 'special' means too...... I still think it would be better if you took your new family member directly? In that case, no one will be able to find fault. ”
Seeing that her boss was so arrogant that he defied the law and didn't take the federal government department seriously, Kayla Danvers seemed to be a little unbearable, so he was apprehensive......
She had never thought about it, nor had she ever been exposed to such a thing, so she even felt a little unbelievable in her heart?
Anyway, she thought it would be better for her boss to follow the advice of the lawyers, in that case, it might be better, and everyone would not be in trouble, and it would be a simple thing anyway.
"I'm busy! And I see that too, Miss Danvers, please don't frown your brow so tightly......"
"As for the illegal issue you mentioned......
"Huh! Excuse me, do you have any proof that I broke the law? If it's really illegal, it's the lawyers' business, and they'll definitely do it themselves, and I didn't get involved in it anyway! ”
After sneering and asking rhetorically, Kate, the president of Cat-Co Media, who was busy with her own affairs, just shook her head with some disdain, as if she didn't intend to talk too much about her stupid assistant...... Because, she is really busy now, and there are still a lot of important things to deal with today.
As a strong woman, as the president and CEO of a group, and as a woman, Kate Grant has to work harder and harder than the average person to get the kind of life and status she wants.
Otherwise, everything she has now could be lost at any time!
"Uh...... Well, it seems that there really isn't a ...... that can prove that you are breaking the law."
Thinking about it seriously, Kayla also seems to feel that her boss seems to have thought about everything, and it seems that she is indeed a little stupid and redundant to come to debate this kind of thing with the other party?
"Hah! Miss Danvers! ”
"I think you still don't seem to understand, I can tell you this: in our country, the law is for the rich, as long as you have money, lawyers always have a way to find loopholes in the federal law to make all illegal acts 'legal', you understand?"
"If you don't understand this, you won't be able to do any assistant's job in the future!"
Maybe it was because she remembered something, or maybe it was to cover up something, very bizarrely, Kate talked a little more today, and then mentioned her female assistant a little more 'friendly', and instilled some 'correct' ways of dealing with the world.
Of course, this is most likely because she Kate has recently gotten used to the new assistant to the president of Kayla Danvers, and is a little used to this young man, who is a little frizzy and a little untidy, but still a diligent young man, so she doesn't want to be too eager to replace or fire the other party?
"But ......"
"The lawyers have called me many times, and they think it's better for you to take that cute little guy to meet the immigration officer, anyway, it's just a formality, then their job will be easier and less troublesome......"
Kayla Danvers didn't continue, for her boss had impatiently extended a palm of his hand and motioned for her to shut up immediately.
"Kayla!"
"My job is to run my media company, and your job is to help me with things that I don't want to waste my time or don't want to deal with, you understand?!"
"And those lawyers ......"
"Their job is to solve the problems for me, any trouble!!"
"I've paid them a handsome amount of money, and what am I going to do if I waste my time negotiating even such a small matter? Alright, you just tell them what I said, and I think they'll know what to do! ”
Obviously, whether it is her female assistant or those lawyers, Kate, the domineering female president of Cat-Co Media, doesn't want to give any face! Therefore, she directly gave the final order very arrogantly.
"I made a note of it, but are you thinking about ......it?"
After jotting down the other party's words in the sketchbook in her hand with a pen, Kayla was a little hesitant, because she always felt that this kind of thing was a little unpleasant...... The other party can take some time out to deal with that kind of small matter, why use that kind of 'unreasonable' means?
"Shut up! Kayla, you're so long-winded! ”
"At lunchtime, I have a board meeting that needs to be attended, so you can help me cancel that sushi meal with my mother! Also, by the way, I also canceled my appointment with a psychotherapist, and I don't need them now! ”
"Then, the Tribune's list of employees ready to be fired, I have sent it to your mailbox...... You remember to print a copy and send a handwritten letter of dismissal to the waste, my Kate's men don't need those lazy people who don't work hard, I just want their maggots to get out of my newly acquired company soon!! ”
"Please shut up!"
"Don't try to interrupt me casually, Kayla Danvers...... This is my last warning to you, if you don't want your name to be on that layoff list? ”
Out of the corner of her eye, she found that the other party seemed to want to open her mouth to say something again, and the domineering female president Kate hurriedly stretched out a finger and shook it, signaling the other party not to continue talking nonsense in front of her, especially when it comes to work and her own decisions, she does not allow anyone's protest or refutation.
Because this company is hers, she is the president here, and here, her orders must be carried out unconditionally and efficiently!
"Finally, go out and see if the art director's new layout is okay? Also, remember to close the door when you go out, for the next period of time, I don't want to be disturbed by outsiders, and I don't want you to come here again to eavesdrop!! ”
After the pen in her hand casually signed her name on a document that she swept by at great speed, the female president, Kate, raised her head and gave an eviction order to the female assistant who was standing in front of her desk obediently.
After her instructions were delivered, she didn't want to see this obnoxious creature now.
"Okay, I think I get it...... These are some other documents, I won't report to you in detail, you can read for yourself when you have time? ”
As if angry, Kryptonian Kayla Danvers turned around in hatred after putting down the papers in her hand, then slammed the door of the president's office shut, and walked quickly to her office in the office area outside.
Sure enough, she knew!
She, Kayla, the assistant to the president, is actually a character who is angry...... It's no wonder that the previous assistants were replaced so quickly...... I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, she won't be able to last long, right?
……
However, what Kayla didn't know was that when she just closed the door and turned to leave the president's office, a chair lift in this office was moving around on its own without anyone operating it.
“……”
The hand that signed stiffened, and after discovering the strange movement of the chair not far from him, Kate Grant, the domineering female president of Kark Media, replaced it with a very helpless and somewhat doting look with a very helpless and somewhat doting look with a look in his office that seemed to be empty, but would rotate by itself:
"Please, Annie, you'd better hurry up, I don't like talking to the air, that guy she's gone now!"
Looking at the lifting chair that was still swaying and turning on its own, Kate smiled a little helplessly.
That little guy was accidentally met when she went on vacation, and then it happened that the other party used those magical superpowers to save one of her lives by accident.
So, when she knew that the other party didn't seem to be from the earth, and was wandering and playing on their earth, she strongly suggested that the other party return to her own home with her, and treat it as her own family, and even spent a lot of money to go through the relevant documents and adoption procedures for the other party, intending to let the other party settle down here on the earth.
Anyway, it's not like there are no other aliens here on this earth, and she, Kate, secretly adopted one herself, so what can others do with her?
"Didn't we make an agreement? Don't follow me to my company in the future, there's nothing fun here, and don't use your superpowers indiscriminately, if someone finds out, it will cause big trouble!! ”
Seeing the chair slowly stop and position itself facing her, the light above it began to distort, and a small blurry figure slowly appeared, Kate sighed and put her gaze back on her desk.
Just now, the other party was almost discovered by his female assistant Kayla!
When the time comes, a little girl who doesn't know when she will appear in the president's office will probably attract the attention of some well-intentioned people, right? And that kind of thing is not what she Kate wants now.
"Hee-hee!"
(#^.^#)
"I didn't secretly follow you to the company, I teleported directly by myself at once! By the way, Aunt Kate, you were really so majestic just now, that young lady was so reprimanded by you that she couldn't speak! ”
♪(^∀^●)ノシ
As the distorted light gradually stabilized, a little girl with her legs dangling in a chair, wearing a little red dress, blonde hair and blue eyes, and holding a stuffed toy bear in her arms, finally appeared on the lift chair not far from the female president, Kate, and sat comfortably on it and walked around again.
Anne never liked to go to work, to have meetings, or to be disciplined, and the reason why she came here was only because she felt bored to stay at home after waking up, and she didn't like the boring and dull big boy in Aunt Kate's house, so she slipped out and wandered around by herself.
“……”
"Surely you didn't come to see me, little one, what's the matter with you?"
After looking down for a while, quickly skimming through the two documents, and having dismissed one of the news plans that she didn't think was good, Kate raised her head again and looked at the somewhat naughty little girl in the distance.
The little guy who is said to be from the world of Valoran, everything is fine, but he is a little playful, a little stubborn, and a little clever...... If her son Carter could be half as cheerful as this little girl, then she would be relieved!
It's a pity......
"Huh? Aunt Kate, you're really smart! ”
(◕ˇ∀ˇ◕)و✧
"It's actually very simple, I want to go out and play, but I don't have the money...... But you won't let me exchange my money or gold, so I'll have to come to you!" ”
╮(╯▽╰)╭
This world, this huge city, is no worse than the New York where Anne went to be bombed by aliens or monsters all day long, so she desperately needs the money to buy food to go out and go to waste, instead of staying at home and waiting for the boring three meals a day, or going to school with some poor autistic boy!
So, she needed a lot of money, so she could only come to this Aunt Kate's office by herself, ready to ask for a 'little' pocket money with the other party?
"I've seen those bills of yours, and the plate number is not the right number at all, and I don't know where you got it......
The other day, this little guy had brought out a whole bunch of brand new dollar bills, stacks upon stacks...... It's a pity that in her opinion Kate Grant, those things are fakes at all, except for some similarities!
"As for the gold exchange ...... you said"
"Forget it, I don't have time to argue with you about those things right now! That's it, Annie, you take this card first, and you should have secretly read the password I entered...... You can withdraw money by yourself, or you can swipe your own card, as long as it is signed in your name, I will definitely pay you the bill! ”
She still has a lot of work to do, and Kate, who doesn't plan to have too much trouble with this little guy who has a headache, took out a bank credit card from her satchel a little helplessly, and then she was just about to stand up and hand it over, but the card didn't know that it was taken by a little guy by some unknown means.
"Aunt Kate, you're so nice!!"
o((*^▽^*))o❤
Now that she had got what she wanted, Anne didn't want to stay in this boring office for a moment, so she cheered, jumped straight out of her chair, and planned to leave here and go to those big restaurants to eat those never-ending delicacies and desserts!
"Wait!"
"Anne...... I'll tell you one last time: don't use your superpowers just yet, at least not let anyone know that you used them, not anyone but me, not even your new brother Carter! ”
Seeing that the other party was leaving, the female president Kate hurriedly spoke and reminded her one last time.
This little guy's superpowers, she hasn't figured out what to do with yet...... Perhaps, she will package the other party as the superhuman superhero of the Metropolis "Planet Daily"? And that's part of the reason why she spent a lot of money to buy Tribune!
It's just that she hasn't figured out how to package it and how to arrange the other party yet......
Anyway, she definitely needs the help of that little Annie, who is a huge help to her Kate's career, but ...... At the same time, she wants to protect the other party well and try not to expose the other party's true identity to everyone's view.
"Aunt Kate, I've told you many times that I'm not a superpower, it's magic!"
(.. •˘_˘•..)
Anne didn't understand, the difference between magic and superpowers, why are these earthlings stupidly unable to tell the difference?
"Is there any difference between them?!"
With a straight face, Kate Grant crossed her arms and asked a little playfully.
She didn't think there was any difference between the two, in her opinion, they were all special means that ordinary people didn't have, whether it was magic or superpowers, it was nothing more than a difference in title, which didn't prevent her from understanding them.
“……”
(ー`´ー)
"Aunt Kate, I suddenly feel that you are really like my mother Amorim, you are both so strict and serious......"
(๑ʘ∆ʘ๑)
Looking at Aunt Kate, who was sitting behind the desk and looking directly at her in a semi-commanding tone, little Anne didn't know why, and suddenly remembered the villainous mother in the Voodoo Land, who always ordered herself to do this and not that, or let herself do the kind of things she didn't like all day long!
For example, constantly allowing yourself to read, memorize, practice magic, control magic, and so on...... As everyone knows, she Queen Anne is a genius, no matter what it is, she only needs to watch it once, and there is no need to do that kind of troublesome practice at all!
"Oh! Then I should be happy? ”
"Annie, I'm glad you think of me as your Amorim mother, really, I don't mind having your clever daughter!"
Hearing the other party say that she was very similar to the other party's mother, Kate couldn't help but laugh with relief...... She really planned to raise this little guy from the alien as her own daughter and protect her well, so when the other party said this, it was in her arms.
"I'm not done yet!"
๛ก(ー̀ωー́ก)
"Aunt Kate, I think you are very similar to my mother Amoline, that's because you are both annoying, always like to order me to do this and not do that, that's why I ran away from home for so long and didn't go back!"
o( ́^')o Huh!
"So, you're annoying it now, too...... Anyway, I'll go out to play first, you don't have to wait for me to eat at night, I'll go back when I'm tired of playing! ”
(ૢ^ꌂ−ૢ)☆
Now that she has money in her hand and is not panicked, Anne will not honestly stay at home and wait for that kind of dinner that is not delicious at all!
Now she just wants to go to the restaurant outside to eat meat and eat a big meal, so she won't go back to eat this strange sala that Aunt Kate makes every day with all kinds of raw vegetables and fruits stirred together!
“!!”
"Remember, don't use your superpowers indiscriminately, and don't be easily seen using you!!"
Kate, who had a black face, hurriedly opened her mouth and gave a final instruction when she saw that the other party was about to leave.
"Got it!"
(◍´꒳`◍)
"No one can find me if I want to! Also, Aunt Kate, you're really as verbose as that villainous Amoline's mother! ”
"Goodbye!!"
