"What? My father called you up in person?" Kevin was astonished to hear that. His father seed to have great expectations from his daughter-in-law.
"Yes, he did. So don't worry! I have approved your leave. It seems to you haven't gone ho in quite a long ti, have you? Maybe your father misses you a lot," the Commander responded thoughtfully. Kevin had given up many holidays because of the nature of his work. He never really had ti to go ho and visit his family. As he thought about that, Kevin felt slightly guilty.
"Thank you, Commander. Is that all you wanted to inform of?" If so, he must have been crazy to ask Kevin to co to his office. He could have just told him that on the phone. It wasn't such an important matter that the Commander felt the need to inform him in person.
"Yes, sure! What else would I have to tell you?" The commander looked at Kevin, puzzled. What was the big deal if he called him here because of it?
"Okay... I see." Kevin was speechless and rolled his eyes. He realized that the Commander was making fun of him.
"What? Don't you have anything to say?" The Commander could not help but feel giddy at the sight of Kevin's silent resentnt. Kevin was too upright. It was funny to make him the butt of his jokes sotis. That way, he would brighten up a little.
"No, Commander. I'm leaving if there isn't anything else." Kevin knew that the Commander was like Peter Pan who had co to the real world. He was used to him and his childish antics. Kevin was not the only one who he made fun of anyway. He teased Daisy too.
"Fine. You can leave now! Oh, by the way, tell Daisy I am looking for her. I have sothing to discuss with her." Apparently, Daisy had also been made into a target, exactly as he had expected.
"Tell , Commander! Are you nervous about the inspection in the afternoon? Is that why you are making fun of us? To ease y
ust tell her later when I et her." It was true that Panther as a group was very powerful. Still, they were only humans made out of flesh and blood. However, he was doubtful that his n would pass the final test and make it to the end. He did not look forward to the selections very much. He did not want them to bid for the chance in high spirits but get eliminated finally. It would co as a great disappointnt to them. Kevin was rational about expectations.
"Yes, of course. Please tell her about it! I still have a report to go through. It would save my ti now if you tell her when you two et," the Commander replied and waved his hand at him, signaling him to leave quickly, as if he was attempting to chase away flies. He was sowhat disappointed at Kevin's lackluster response. He had thought Kevin would be more excited at the news. But Kevin did not seem enthusiastic about the selections at all. The Commander was surprised.
"Sure. Please, go on with your work! I will leave now," Kevin bid him adieu as he turned around and walked away. A small smirk appeared on his face. Yes, he had made it! He was finally able to fight him back. The Commander would not make fun of him next ti, just because he wanted to kill his spare ti and boredom.
