Chapter 26
"Soo . . " Mei turned to their spectator
She stared at the spectator, and asked
"Who finished first??"
Silence .
There was pure silence for a little bit in their area, as the spectator tried to comprehend what in the world just happened, while Mei and Ali stared at him expectantly, waiting for him to tell them who won . .
The man finally broke the silence when he said "uhhmm . . . . I think it was . . . . "
He paused and looked at the two boys staring at him intently
(Incase you forgot, Mei and Ali are in their male disguises . . )
"Well, who was it??" Ali couldn't wait any longer
"Umm . . . I think it was a tie . . ?" This was his final answer
"Ughh . . really . . ?" This time it was Mei who responded
"Whatever . . thanks for being a spectator for us . . . "
And with that, the two of them left and got on their motorcycle
On the way back to their new job, they talked about the result of their match
"I can't believe it was a tie! I guess you've caught up to my level, Ali!"
Ali sort of blushed, and said "well . . I practiced a lot on my own . . I wanted to surprise you with my skills . . so did it work??"
Mei smiled and said "Yes, you surprised me . . . good job!"
"Hehe . . soon I'll be even better than you! Watch out, because I'm coming for you!!"
The two of them continued to joke and laugh until they arrived at their location
When they pulled up to the gate, unlike before, there were different guards there
Ali got off the motorcycle and asked a guard
"What happened to the other guards that were here before you . . ?"
The guard, as calmly as ever, replied "They were fired for disrespecting you two . "
Ali and Mei where both shocked . .
They didn't expect that they would actually be FIRED . .
Mei thought to herself 'ok, yeah, we were disrespected . . . but why would CEO Sora fire some of his bodyguards just for us . . ?'
Truth was, if she were to ask Sora, he wouldn't know the answer himself . .
He just had the urge to fire the guards after he heard what happened from Mei . . .
"So . . here are our ID's . . " Ali said, and interrupted Mei's train of thought
The guard looked at the ID's, and replied "There is no need for ID's . Both of you are honored employees here, and Sir Boss instructed me to tell you two that you will be living in Sir Boss's house . . "
"WHAT . . ?!!" Mei and Ali both practically yelled
