Chapter 27: Reflect
The hot air evaporated, the water flowed... Under the hot water scrubbing, it seemed that all the dirt and bad deeds in the heart were washed away with the flowing hot water.
She squeezed the shower gel and rubbed it in her palm, creating smooth sponges, wiping away the reddish-brown sugar juice that stuck to her skin.
For a long time, because the skin did not see the sun, it became pale, but now thanks to the evaporation of hot water, it appeared red.
After showering, she picked up a towel to dry her sideburns. The dry towel absorbed the water between the hair strands. After several wipes, there was still a little bit of steam left, carrying dew drops with it.
Although the sideburns are short, because they haven't been cut for a long time, they become a bit long, about a week or two weeks later... Maybe she will need an elastic band to tie it up.
There is a bathtub in the bathroom, but X has no intention of using it. She has always been a person of simplicity and function. As long as she can cleanse her body, there's no need to waste more time soaking in the bathtub.
Speaking of which... Angela had prepared dinner, she didn't want to keep Angela waiting too long.
Soaking in the bathtub is very time-consuming. Some moments of soaking make it easy to immerse yourself inside, losing the concept of time.
X looked at herself in the mirror, today she still felt completely tasteless as before, trying to pull the muscles of her face, the corner of her mouth hooked up, but there was only a stiff smile.
X cannot be satisfied.
When she smiles at herself, she always feels like she can't laugh, her smile is unnatural, and it's very uncomfortable.
But sometimes, she can feel that she really has the feeling of 'laughing', revealing a beautiful smile under the emotional excitement.
This type of practice was intentionally done, but on the contrary, it did not achieve the effect she wanted.
—— Sure enough, you can't do it when you're being hypocritical ——
The woman with black hair and short sideburns has no expression in the mirror, no curve is visible at the corner of her mouth, her gaze also feels too cold... The golden eyes are like staring X out of the mirror.
X is looking at herself in the mirror and X in the mirror is also looking at herself.
When X closes one eye, the girl in the mirror will also close one eye. When X puts out her hand and takes a scissors stance, the girl in the mirror will also show a scissors stance.
This is natural... Because this is herself... The mirror is just reacting to these movements.
X also doesn't know why. In the end, she would do this kind of seemingly boring and naive thing. In the end, what was she seeking... Is it to make herself feel secure?
Why do I want to feel secure... I'm clearly not insecure, right?
Although she was always worried about what the AI would do, up until now she had been able to avoid those punishments very well and was not fired by the Corporation. As long as she continues to be good, holding on until the Corporation's day off should not be a problem.
Through [Favorability query] she can see the trustworthiness stats, so she knows that the AIs are also starting to trust her abilities, even though she will still be doubted, as long as it's not like the first time she met them, it's okay.
Control Department Malkuth, she didn't need to say much, she was the first Dean she met, and also the most intimate one, her column always showed [Trust], no need for X to worry more.
As for Netzach, even though she is a lazy plus-addict who has long held a negative mentality and doesn't take X seriously, now her column has appeared as [Care].
X wasn't clear on what [Care] was, but it was definitely better than [Distrust]. Her efforts these past few days seemed to be in vain. Netzach was more or less starting to see her as a Manager.
'Viper' Yesod, trustworthiness is [Doubt], also considered in X's prediction, Yesod is Dean who looks at ability and results seriously. She needs to prove it in practice to gain her trust. She will not trust X just because of a few words.
And what really surprised X was Hod. The trustworthiness she showed was not [Trust], nor [Distrust], but [Awe].
X doesn't know where this [Awe] came from, but it can be determined that Hod is also a Dean with super serious problems.
X must add Hod to her special care list, just like treating Netzach, as soon as she gets off work every day, she will run towards Hod. She has to take care of Deans who have problems like this, and must spend a little more thought on Hod.
Malkuth and Yesod just need to complete the requirements of their duties and they will be fine, they are very trustworthy.
At least, X herself thinks so... This isn't too bad, she did very well, won the approval of the AIs, received the approval of the AIs, in the end maybe she really can retire safely.
Even though it's a 'Bad' Corporation, other than Wings of the World's virtues are actually the same. If you want to compare, you have to compare which one is worse. Actually, Lobotomy company is still considered good, probably, after all X doesn't know what the working conditions of other Wings are like inside....
Although Wings of the World and Wings of the World have a cooperative relationship, they cannot be called harmonious with each other.
The bird spreads its wings to shelter in the nest, protecting the precious eggs.
No bird would expect its own eggs to be pecked or stolen by another bird. The name Wings of the World Corporation will protect its secrets at any cost.
Once you enter the Corporation, you absolutely cannot go out again.
X actually... she also knows this.
[Manager, dinner is ready]
Angela's voice had already reached, and she stood outside the bathroom door.
Just like X predicted, as long as AI wanted, she could enter her room at any time. The so-called private space did not exist from the beginning.
But what can she do? At least she can encourage herself by knowing that there are no surveillance cameras in the bathroom.
"Yes, I know, I'll leave immediately, Angela."
X quickly dressed well.
Perhaps there was a time when AI Secretary really felt like a Secretary, but in reality, artificial intelligence is only doing public work, not private daily activities.
Even Angela is in charge of her daily life, and X also feels a bit... Well, if she can't resist, she can just accept it comfortably, what else can she do.
No matter what, regardless of the AI Secretary's fierce personality, the AI Secretary's abilities and qualifications are worthy of praise, and her appearance can also attract the attention of others.
Even though X is also a woman, she can't help but admit Angela's charm.
Day 3, End.
