”Interesting…” Lexi nodded her head in understanding. Glancing up at Nico Zhuang, Lexi curled the corner of her lips upward. ”So you went on a date with Miss Chang?” out of nowhere, Lexi asked, causing his brows to twitch.

”No,” clearing his throat, Nico Zhuang shook his head. Lexi was starting with him again. She's taking his action to a different meaning again when obviously, she knows why he does things.

”That's all. I got to check the production and lab for the new samples for Miss Ning.” Nico Zhuang diverted the conversation and yet, Lexi's twinkling eyes suggested more teasing. That's his cue to head out before Lexi could tease him further.

Therefore, after stating his remark, he slightly bowed his head and left his boss's office. Until now, he couldn't get the grasp of Lexi teasing him with Andy Chang. Even if he recalled all interactions he had with the said woman, Nico Zhuang couldn't think of events that might mislead them to think he liked her or vice versa.

Perhaps, Lexi was just bored? Or stress, so she was de-stressing herself by teasing him? Might be the case. With that in mind, Nico Zhuang shrugged his shoulders as he closed the door behind him.

Meanwhile, Lexi chuckled upon seeing his reaction. Well, Nico Zhuang's thoughts were more or less right. But, Lexi was merely trying to open his heart to express his feelings. After all, Nico Zhuang was more lenient and his tolerance level towards Andy Chang was something Lexi haven't seen him doing to others aside from her.

He was her people thus, she knew. Moreover, before she got to know that Nico Zhuang was Ethan Lu's shadow guard, they became friends. Lexi was certain that if not because he was tasked to keep a close eye of her, Nico Zhuang would keep his distance from her too.

”Hay…” Shaking her head, Lexi reclined on her office chair and swiveled it slowly. Tapping her fingers on the armchair, Lexi stared at the ceiling with a satisfied smile. ”So, Andy and Avah are sisters? Interesting…” Lexi murmured.

Maybe the heaven had been rooting for her, for letting her meet Andy Chang. Who would have thought that Andy Chang's existence would help her in some ways? First, the Hannah Gan's scandal and now, she might help her with Avah Tong.

Truly, the world wasn't that huge at all, eh?

”Let's see…” Lexi straightened her posture as she opened one drawer on her desk and fished out her phone. Having the thought to call Avah Tong, however, an incoming call showed just before she could.

”Oh?” Arching her brows, Lexi thought that her blackmailer had already given up. Well, she thought wrong. Letting out a sigh, Lexi unhesitatingly answered the call and placed it in front of her ear.

”Yes?” as if she was just answering a friend's call, Lexi leaned her back on the office chair as she swung it a little from left to right.

”Make sure you don't call the cops or you wouldn't like what will happen.” After a minute of silence, the man threatened. However, his threats were nothing but empty words that didn't even affect Lexi.
