That Day When I Got Married to My Boss at the Blind Date

Old Mr. Rowland had never lost a game of chess in his long life. Well, that was only mostly true because he had recently lost to his granddaughter-in-law just recently, and now, he had even lost the game to his seven-year-old great-grandson.

“But… Apollo is only seven years old.” Mrs. Rowland muttered disbelievingly. She knew that Old Mr. Rowland was an exceptional chess player, who would never take it easy when it came to chess, so the only reasonable explanation was that Apollo was a genius.

“Well, this child is exceptionally clever. I believe his intelligence level is above average,” he said as his eyes flickered at that thought.

“So, you mean that he has a high IQ? Has our family finally produced a high-IQ child?” Her eyes lit up with excitement, just like Old Mr. Rowland’s. Both of them were ecstatic at the fact that Apollo was exceptionally intelligent. “I heard that we can now measure intelligence with a series of tests. Why don’t we take Apollo for such a test?”

Apollo never intended to showcase his intelligence level, but he never imagined that he would be deemed a rare object in the eyes of the Rowlands just by playing a game of chess. He glanced up at Mrs. Rowland, who looked as though she was about to jump out of her seat to make the necessary arrangements to get him tested. Thus, he knew he had to speak up to dispel her idea, “There’s no need to test. I’ve already been tested.”

“Tested? How did it go? What’s your score?” Her eyes shone brighter upon hearing that. Even Old Mr. Rowland was very attentive to what Apollo was going to say next.

“Well, I’d say… just slightly higher than average,” Apollo responded humbly. He didn’t want to overshadow anyone.

“Are you sure it’s just slightly above average?” Old Mr. Rowland seemed to have picked up on Apollo’s intention to stay modest and repeated his words with rhetorical emphasis.
