Chapter 265 My lady, Ism jealous! (2/2)

”He wouldn't touch the people I like.” She added between her chuckles.

Soon, there wasn't anymore discussion between the two as Lexi dismissed Engr. Choi. When he exited Lexi's future office, Ethan Lu was already outside— waiting for them to finish their talk.

”Mr. Lu!” Out of habit and shocked as he still could not believe that Ethan Lu himself was just standing right in front of him, Engr. Choi loudly greeted.

”Hehe, Mr. Choi.” Ethan Lu only smiled as he didn't move from his position— waiting for the man to move aside so he could flirt with the love of his life.

”I— I mean, I'm sorry you lost your bet.” Bowing once again even if it's not necessary, Engr. Choi apologized as the only information about the bet Lexi clarified was that they had bet if her budget was sufficient without affecting the result of the renovation. Therefore, he was moved that Lexi put all her faith in him which he didn't disappoint her even without knowing about the bet.

”Hahaha!” Upon hearing the sudden apologies, Ethan Lu burst out laughing before tapping the man's shoulder. ”Now, I know why she picked you. Oh dear, how lovely.” With that said note, Ethan Lu excused himself and without knocking on the door, he shamelessly intruded with his lips stretched from ear to ear.

Engr. Choi was rendered speechless and he could only turn to Lyrick Jiang who was on the side. Lyrick Jiang only gave him a nonchalant shrug without a word.

'Huh? What was that? Are they really just friends or lovers? I want to know!' If only Lyrick Jiang could read Engr. Choi's thoughts, he would gladly leave him a few hints to calm his inner busybody self as Jarred Guo was useless as his gossip body.

The moment Ethan Lu intruded Lexi's office that was already finished but not to the extent that it was fully furnished, which one could easily tell with the lack of furniture, Lexi was already standing, fixing her bag, ready to depart the office as well.

”Hehe, my lady,” Ethan Lu strode towards her and when he was close, he giggled and then wrapped his arms around her waist— giving her a warm back hug. ”Miss you.”

Lexi rolled her eyes as his familiar scent wafted into her nostrils. She turned around to see his pouting front because of her behavior earlier. ”Did you?” She humored as her arms wrapped around his neck.

”You spend too much time with Nico but not with me— I'm jealous!” Still frowning, Ethan Lu protested as if a child was being neglected or was being raised with a lack of love which made her heartily chuckle.

If only the people in the Lu family could see him right now, they would be startled as the reputation Ethan Lu had built inside the Lu Corporation and in his family was the complete opposite of how he acted in front of her. One didn't need to worry about Lyrick Jiang, Jarred Guo, or Nico Zhuang as their boss's image was already shattered into pieces by his pettiness.
