Chapter 386 - Title Brotherhood (1/2)
Five months later…
”I'll be looking forward to working with you.” The elderly businessman before Lexi slowly stood and shook hands with her.
”The pleasure is mine.” Smiling, Lexi slightly nodded her head before she personally sent the man off.
It has been six months since Lexi had the twins and just the third mark of the twins, Lexi slowly returned and managed her growing business. Of course, despite having a contract with Aubrey Ning, lending her resources and distributing her products, Lexi needed more clients and distributors to widen her range of supplies. Hence, the purpose of this successful deal she had with an international distribution company.
”Nick, how's the photoshoot?” After sending the man off, Lexi didn't need to return to her office as Nico Zhuang appeared by her side carrying her handbag and some documents. Surely, Nico Zhuang was the best assistant she could have as he was diligent, always on point, and hardworking. Even without telling him, he always seemed to know Lexi's thoughts aside from the schedules she has on hand.
”It was still ongoing.”
”Alright, let's have a look.” With that said note, Lexi began taking strides and Nico Zhuang followed behind her.
While they were on the road, Lexi was in the back passenger seat, with the partition up so Nico Zhuang could not see that she was still pumping out some milk for the twins. Well, although Lexi had been back to business and her schedule was quite hectic, she was now a strong advocate of breastfeeding as she didn't want her boobs to be a mere decoration piece.
Moreover, her maternal instinct to this day was heightened. Therefore, if she was blessed with golden fluids, then, she'll gladly use them to give the best to her twins. After all, there are mothers out there that wanted to breastfeed their children but their supply wasn't enough.
Soon, they finally reached their destination where the product shoot was taking place. Placing the stash she pumped inside the cooler she always carries with her, Lexi fixed herself before she unhurriedly departed her car. When she stepped her foot outside, Nico Zhuang was already there waiting for her.
Glancing at the always quiet and keen Nico Zhuang, Lexi suddenly had a question in mind. ”Nico?”
”Yes, madam?”
”Don't you miss being a captain?” Arching her brows, Lexi watched Nico Zhuang's expression, hoping it would make a little change. After all, being with Nico Zhuang for as long as she could remember and asking Ethan Lu about the said man, she heard that Nico Zhuang might look weak and fragile, however, his agility, wits, and precision on decision making even without the masters command was topnotch. Reasons why he merited the position of being a squad captain.
”Miss?” Nico Zhuang slightly furrowed his brows as he pondered and thought about Lexi's abrupt question. He didn't understand why she was asking such things. Still, he gave a thought about it as he wanted to keep this boss-subordinate relationship clean and honest.
