DC: Phantom Thief Kid

Chapter 10: The World's Most Precious Pink Diamond

Looking at the current discussion sparked by Phantom Thief Kid, it shows the endless value of this exclusive news in the media world.

The reporters who didn't take the notice seriously at first probably regret it now.

And Vicki Vale, who created all this, has gained a higher position in the Gotham Gazette.

The boss even doubled her bonus for this month.

"Finally, put this photo in... Perfect!"

Vicki worked on her office computer a few times, and tonight's work was coming to an end.

'Hehe, this article is definitely going to be on the front page tomorrow.'

She thought confidently.

At that moment, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door.

Knock, knock, knock...

"Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and a thin man walked in. The man had a camera hanging around his neck, so he must be a photographer.

"What can I do for you, Norris?"

Vicki asked, looking at the man curiously.

"Uh, Miss Vale, you've been working for a long time without a break. I thought maybe you could... have a cup of coffee?"

Norris raised his right hand, and Vicki noticed that he was holding a pot of coffee.

"It was freshly ground by me, and I guarantee it tastes better than the coffee shop downstairs."

Norris was a young photographer who joined the Gotham Gazette three years ago, and Vicki was his mentor back then.

They often run news stories together.

However, they didn't have much talk in private, it was mostly work-related. It might be because Norris is a bit shy.

Vicci didn't expect that the shy young man she knew would take the initiative to make coffee for himself and send it over.

It was a little unusual.

Vicki's eyes flickered, wondering if Norris might have some kind of interest in her.

"Um...Norris, you should know that I already have a partner, right?"

She suddenly sat up, leaning her back against the chair and crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Upon hearing this, Norris froze on the spot but soon realized what she meant.

"No, no, no, Miss Vale, you've misunderstood. I just thought you must be tired after working for so long, so as a junior in the workplace, I brewed this pot of coffee for you, hoping you could take a break."

Norris shook his hands repeatedly, trying to show that it was not what she thought, his face turning red.

"You have been my mentor, guiding and taking care of me in my work, and I'm grateful for that. It's just like that, I don't have any inappropriate ideas about making a move!"

Vicci chuckled at Norris's flustered response. His behavior now seemed to match the impression she had of him.

"Norris, you're taking it too seriously. Even if you have any thoughts, it doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. What I mean is that I want you to know that Vicki Vale is not a woman who dates multiple people."

Norris nodded repeatedly, then carefully asked, "What about this coffee..."

"Please put it on the table. I will enjoy your coffee. Thank you for your effort."
