463 Lexis militia (1/2)

Lexi let out an audible cough as the atmosphere around the table somehow got a little dark. Rika Song and Elliot Gong who would usually banter at this time that oddly made the surrounding liven up remained quiet. None of them talked, especially Andy Chang, and Jaime Liao who were mutually thinking they're not in the right place to link them together. Hence, the 'peacefulness'.

Lexi felt awkward as she had guessed that her friends were giving her husband a cold shoulder. After all, Ethan Lu might have gone overboard earlier, but she did as well. Besides, she already said that it was her fault!

'*sigh* what a position did I put my husband to? *sigh*' Realizing more than she expected, Lexi pitied her husband. Regardless if it was her fault or not, just because she cried, her friends were already treating Ethan Lu coldly.

Surely, her pettiness and arrogance not only hurt her husband, but it also put him in a tight position. How naïve of her. Still, she appreciated Ethan Lu even more because he was being too understanding towards her friends.

After all, no one would dare offend him as he was one of the most respected men in the business industry. People would immediately curry favor to him if they get the chance to share the same space as him.

However, right now, he was being deliberately ignored by her friend. Little did Lexi know, not just her friends were beaming red eyes on Ethan Lu, but also his subordinates on the other table.

”Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for coming last night. I can't tell you the full details, but it's very much appreciated.” Attempting to strike a conversation that they could all relate, Lexi awkwardly chuckled, bearing an awkward smile.

”I don't mind. I'm on a break, anyway.” Waving his hands off, Elliot Gong was the first to answer.

”You don't have to thank me bestie~ It was fun and what are friends for, right?” Rika Song sweetly smiled as the corner of her lips curled into a grin, exposing her even white teeth that were whiter than a paper. ”Also, my fiance enjoyed the party last night although he irked me in the afterparty.” Shrugging her shoulders, Rika Song added with an eye roll. Jaime Liao just meekly smiled at his fiancee's remark because it was true. He enjoyed the glamorous celebration of Mr. Tang as he met interesting businessmen that were inclined in the medical field.

Andy Chang, on the other hand, just smiled and nodded, expressing to her boss the same thing as everyone wanted to imply: it was not a big deal and everyone enjoyed, anyway. Although she was now a little awkward with the stone-cold Nico Zhuang.

”Anyway bestie, are you free today? I can finally see my wedding dress today and it will be fun if you can see it with me!” Giddy as she was, Rika Song's pair of eyes sparkled as her custom made dream wedding dress will arrive today.

”I don't accept 'no' as an answer though. You too, Eli. You have to see how beautiful my wedding dress so you won't be surprised on my wedding day — I need you two to keep level-headed on my day, okay?” Rika Song said in a matter of fact tone. After all, she was too confident in her dress. She wouldn't be surprised if it would stun her friends to the extent of questioning the Lord on how could a person be so beautiful in a wedding dress.

”Bwahaha!” Just thinking about their expression, Rika Song loudly laughed while covering her lips by the back of her hand. She then almost choked, which made her coughed.
