Ch. 152 Good, Behave
🕑 Added 2023-11-16 16:03:01 +0000 UTCRussell had no idea what Kara was thinking.
But one thing he was sure of was that he absolutely couldn't let Kara appear in these two new uniforms.
Without the short skirt and thigh-high boots, without the red cape, would she still be Supergirl?
Russell didn't care how others saw it. In his eyes, Kara had to wear Supergirl's costume, not these new uniforms that had nothing to do with Supergirl.
"This is my uniform, and I'll wear whatever I want!" Kara began to argue.
However, the next moment, she fell silent.
Russell didn't say a word, but he looked at her with a seriousness that Kara had never seen before.
Seeing Russell's current expression and gaze, Kara felt the pressure of someone in authority.
Kara, who had always been confrontational with Russell, now felt like a little white rabbit facing a hungry wolf.
"Hmph! I won't change if I don't want to!"
"But I don't want to continue wearing the previous one. Let No. 3 help me make a few new ones; the old one is already worn out."
Although Kara pretended to be her usual arrogant self, her tone was not at all strong.
"I'll have No. 3 arrange it for you!"
After hearing Russell's response, Kara, dressed in a black office lady outfit, left the office.
After leaving the office, she even gently closed the door, which she had never done before.
Once Kara left the office, Russell finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If he could, he didn't want to be so tough with Kara. After all, he still had to figure out how to complete the "Kryptonian Heritage" reward.
However, Kara's performance just now made him realize something important.
Although Kara often challenged him and acted like she wanted to confront him, if he showed a truly angry attitude, Kara would still restrain herself.
Did she only respond to toughness? Or did he have to be tougher to control her?
Russell's brain started to think rapidly.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
After Kara left the office, Russell didn't do anything else, nor did he play Assassin's Creed. Instead, he personally designed the uniform for Kara.
There wasn't much to design, just drawing each piece of the Supergirl costume from his memory.
For example, changing the cropped top into a normal one, changing the blue miniskirt to red, adding some gold trim outlines to the red thigh-high boots and cape, and so on...
After finishing the design, he handed it to No. 3 for some detailed adjustments and immediately ordered production.
Because Kara was not an ordinary person, her Supergirl costume had to be made from special materials. Otherwise, a vigorous movement from Kara could result in an embarrassing "clothing explosion."
Russell didn't mind Kara showing her thighs and waist to others, but he didn't want other men to see other parts.
If anyone was going to see, it would only be him.
After giving orders to No. 3, Russell left the office and approached Kara.
Kara's office desk was right next to his office door.
With no real work to do, Kara's main job during working hours was to browse shopping websites and watch boring soap operas or variety shows.
Seeing Russell approach her, Kara offered him a bag of chips.
"Do you want some?"
"No, pack up your things; we're going somewhere."
"Oh!"
Kara replied quietly.
As she was about to put her lipstick, makeup mirror, phone, and other items into her designer bag, Russell furrowed his brows and pulled out a tissue from the desk drawer, handing it to Kara.
"Wipe your hands!"
Russell didn't have any cleanliness or obsessive-compulsive tendencies, but he couldn't stand Kara using her chip-covered hand to organize her belongings.
Kara looked surprised at Russell's gesture.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she took the tissue that Russell handed her and wiped her right hand, which was covered in chip crumbs.
Once Kara finished packing her bag, the two of them took the dedicated elevator to the underground parking lot.
After providing the car's navigation system with an address, Russell leaned back in his seat and didn't say a word.
Kara didn't speak either; she occasionally glanced at Russell.
Russell noticed Kara's glances, but he still didn't say anything.
Silence prevailed during the journey.
When the self-driving Porsche stopped in front of a luxury apartment building, Russell turned to Kara and said, "I bought you a new apartment; let's go take a look."
A few minutes later, they arrived at the apartment, which had been paid for but not yet officially transferred.
Although it was a luxury apartment, it was slightly inferior to the Sky Apartments where they lived.
However, the difference wasn't significant; both were top-tier apartments on the market.
After touring the apartment and inspecting the rooms, Russell said to Kara, "Are you satisfied with this place? If not, we can find another one."
Kara didn't answer Russell's question and instead asked, "Are you asking me to move?"
In the past, Kara had always acted like a spoiled little princess in front of Russell. But now, she wore a pitiful expression as if she were a pet cat about to be abandoned by its owner.
"Yes, moving here is better for everyone."
"You're also an adult; there are some things I don't need to say, but I think you understand. If you stay next door, it's awkward for everyone."
Although Russell didn't say it explicitly, Kara knew what he meant.
'Wasn't it because I heard the "conversations" between you and Diana at night?
As for making me move!'
After about ten seconds of silence, Kara looked at Russell seriously and said, "I don't want to move, and I won't disturb your and Diana's life. You can pretend I don't exist."
Although she said this, Russell couldn't just pretend Kara didn't exist.
Kara had super hearing and super vision!
Letting her live next door would make him feel like he was under constant surveillance.
"Good, behave, and move!"
"While I may not have your super hearing and super vision, my senses are not weak either."
"You can hear the 'conversations' between Diana and me at night, so do you think Diana and I can't hear your nighttime sounds?"
After hearing Russell's words, Kara's fair and delicate face turned crimson, and she even blushed all the way to her ears.
If Russell hadn't said it now, she wouldn't have even realized it.
Russell was well aware of her abilities, but she had no idea about Russell and Diana's capabilities.
"You...you knew all along?"
With a red face, lowered head, and a soft voice, Kara asked.
"I knew from the first day you moved in. It's not just me; Diana probably heard it too."
Russell tried to control his tone as much as possible to prevent Kara from feeling even more embarrassed.
But as it turned out, the cat was out of the bag, and the tone didn't matter at all.
Kara's face grew even redder, and her ears began to blush as well.
