Chapter 107 He Wanted It To Last Forever (1/2)
In a small apartment with his phone, Alec's mouth was curving from ear to ear.
Hah! His sister, a genius she was!
”Mimi, you're truly incredible. Being able to destroy a once successful company in less than a day, I applaud you!”
Sitting on her sofa with a cup of milk tea in her hand, Mimi continued to scroll through her phone.
”You only found that out now?” Mimi laughs softly while sipping her tea.
Alec awkwardly scratches his cheek. She was right. Ever since he first spoke to her eight years ago, he'd known she was a genius and an incredible child.
While on her phone scrolling through the latest news, Mimi reached for the plate of cookies in front of her.
However, just as her fair fingers touched the cookie's edge, the plate was pulled away from her.
”Eh?”
Raising her eyes from her phone, Mimi's brows tightly knit as she looked up at the culprit who stole her cookies.
”Toby! Give me back my cookies!” Mimi pouted.
Standing in front of the girl with the plate of cookies in hand was none other than Tobias Itou. His dark eyes stared down at the girl with a blank stare.
”Phone.” He extended his broad hand out toward the girl.
Furrowing her brows even further, Mimi looks at the man's hand and lightly smacks it.
”No! You can't have it! Now give me my cookies!”
Tobias's brows raised with amusement toward the girl's light slap on his hand - or it had seemed light to Tobias at least.
From such an innocent smack, Mimi felt her fingers tingling from the harsh impact they made with his rough hands.
Damn this handsome man and his beautiful, firm hands!
”You shouldn't be on your phone while you eat, and have a real meal rather than junk food. It's unhealthy for you to just eat sugary foods.”
Resisting the urge to stick out her tongue, Mimi sulks even further while glancing at the plate of frosted sugar cookies in the handsome man's hand.
”If I eat a proper meal and put away my phone, I can have the cookies?”
”Mn. You can have two.”
”Ten!”
”Two.”
”Eight?”
”Two.”
Mimi scowled. ”Toby, you're not really following this correctly. You're supposed to increase the number.”
”Am I?” Tobias stared at Mimi amusedly, inwardly enjoying the new nickname she gave him.
The girl rapidly nodded her head with a frown. Tobias sighed lightly.
”You can have four.”
Mimi went silent, her expression clearly showing that she was thinking about his offer.
Appearing reluctant, Mimi huffs. ”Ng, fine! I'll have four!”
Nodding with satisfaction, Tobias walks away with the plate of cookies and stores them in the fridge. Mimi follows his movements with a frown before turning to look at Alec.
”Well go on. Get my meal ready! Those cookies aren't going to stay fresh forever! Unless you want me to cook for myself…”
Dumfounded, Alec stares at his sister in horror.
