Emperor And Empress
Lucas, being the fool he was, didn't notice the gazes burning into him and continued, "And imagine them going on a honeymoon and bringing back a cute ba...."
He wasn't even able to finish his sentence when he saw a cold metal flying toward his forehead.
Luckily, he was flexible and had fighting skills. Both Marcus and Lucas came from military families, so he managed to dodge the dagger just in time.
"Chill bro. Don't be so serious and violent. You know Lucas is just joking, right?" asked Marcus.
That's when Lucas snapped out of his shocked expression. He was surprised because Xavier, being the boss he is, would never get jealous or angry over a girl. But this time, he knew he had to save his own life, or he'd be in the netherworld the very next moment.
"Ye... yes, Xavier. I was saying the tru... no, I mean, I was speaking nonsense just now, so don't mind me, okay? You and sister-in-law look perfect for each other. Just like an Emperor and Empress, with us as your eunuchs... no, no, I mean loyal servants. Right, Marcus?"
What he received was a glare from Xavier and a roll of the eyes from Marcus.
Trying to ease the tension, Marcus quickly changed the subject. "Xavier, the Tang Corporations has sent a proposal. They want to collaborate with us on our new project."
"Did you investigate the reason they wanted to collaborate with us?" Xavier asked coldly.
"Yes. But I found nothing, so I guess they don't have any ill intentions toward the upcoming project," said Marcus.
"Even though there's no ill intentions, you know how that director of theirs are. Make sure everything comes out clean" Xavier said and continued.
"Just keep an eye on the Lady and send feedback on her every move. And as for Leon, tell him to come to the basement today," said Xavier.
All this while, Lucas was as meek as a mouse.
"When you need anything, we're in our office," Marcus said, dragging Lucas out.
