461 Single for life club (1/2)

That early morning was spent with Lexi and Ethan Lu cuddling. She repeatedly said 'I love you' and even cried like a little girl for being an utter disappointment. Ethan Lu, on the other hand, also apologized for slightly hurting her to prove his point and disregarding some important points because of his anger.

Both willingly forgive each other and spent the morning talking about Lexi and Ethan Lu's whims. They even got a subject about Rika Song, who almost bit Elliot Gong's head off last night because of something they weren't surprised.

Well, since it was Morris Liu's idea to throw a party to bug Mia Chen all night, Lexi invited her friends over — including Nico Zhuang and Andy Chang on the list. The very reason how they got in in Mr. Tang's party even though they didn't know the celebrant.

Soon, Lexi stopped crying for a while and they settled the case with the promise of not doing it again. They then agreed to head down in the hotel's lobby where they were serving buffet breakfast. Since her eyes were slightly swollen, Lexi had to cover it up by a concealer so that she wouldn't look shameful.

Little did she know, no matter how good she put on a makeup to look natural as if nothing happened between her and Ethan Lu, her friends, Rika Song and Elliot Gong would notice it.

Meanwhile…

Lyrick Jiang walked back and forth in the hotel's lobby while biting the nail of his thumb. Utter worry was plastered across his face as he anxiously waited for any news from his master and madam. How could Ethan Lu ask him to bring him a washboard? No, that's not the point.

”Why would he punish my madam?” Lyrick Jiang blurted out with a loud humphed. His remark caught Jarred Guo's attention as he glanced up.

”What are you saying? Talking to your paparazzi demons again?” Furrowing his brows, Jarred Guo shook his head sideways as he assumed that his comrade was having a meeting with his inner paparazzi.

After all, Lyrick Jiang was absent last night as he had another task he was working on in the Lu Corporation affairs. Hence, this extra-curriculum was led by Nico Zhuang and Jarred Guo's command. All positions of their squad members and potential harm that might happen, they were the ones that took care of things.

Surprisingly enough, Mia Chen didn't scheme to cause any physical harm towards Lexi or to Morris Liu. Although she has the capabilities base from her history and the environment she moved in the past, she still schemed a simple one.

”Shut up, Red.” Lyrick Jiang glared daggers at him as he gritted his teeth. ”Should I tell the old master about master's tyranny?” Waving his hands off, he pondered as he continuously paced back and forth. Each passing second, his anxiousness grew more and more thinking that Lexi and Ethan Lu were probably having a fight at this moment.

In an instant, Lyrick Jiang gasped in disbelief upon laying his eyes on Nico Zhuang and Andy Chang walking beside him. He blinked his eyes numerous times just to be sure that his eyes weren't deceiving him.
