Chapter 98 - 98: Paperworks (1/2)

”Welcome back, Miss Bai.” Elliot bowed upon Lillie's arrival at her office along with three more people. An Xiu Ling and the twins, Cyrus and Cyra.

Time does fly fast when you're enjoying yourself. The trip back at France was a memory worth saving. She even get to see her Senior brother after so many years.

Ethan hadn't been that happy for the two days staying at France because of Death's presence and overall interference. Constantly stealing his lover away from him, pulling her off his embrace to some places.

After they left him that night at the Japanese restaurant, Ethan thought that it would be the last he'll ever see that white haired demon. But no! He just had to show up inside their living room!

Ethan should've thought; Death is Lillie's Senior brother, he's clearly far from simple!

He underestimated Death's skills too much. He swears that he'll never risk it ever again!

”I see my brother's days as CEO wasn't...eventful.” Lillie's voiced trailed at the sight of mountains of paperworks left at her desk—scratch that—they were everywhere!

”Straightforwardly speaking, he was awful.” Elliot, his usual polite tone has disintegrated along with his patience for the weeks he've spent in 'helping' Gabriel with office work.

”He left many unsigned and unread documents that were due for a long time!” Cyrus and Cyra growled angrily.

”Even with all the help from us, the least he could do was read and sign the damn papers.” Even the respectful, boss-loving An Xiu Ling was furious.

”Never let him enter the office again!” The three yelled in sync.

If Lillie were to be on her death bed and was questioned what was her biggest regret...

It will be letting her little brother run her office.

A certain brother,

”Achoo!”

”Are you alright, dear?” Mrs Bai asked.

Gabriel sniffed and rubbed his nose. ”I'm good.” Someone's probably cursing me.

Elliot organized the pile of papers and divide them into three. Lillie analyzed the papers and hand Elliot the ones being signed and rejected.

”Have the documents for Hong Long sought through by Gabriel?” Not lifting her gaze from the paper, Lillie asked.

”I was able to hide and complete them.”

”Good. This collaboration has not been approved by my father, yet. However, I don't see problems with for him to reject the idea.” She said, (mostly to herself) stamping the paper with her signature.

”My relation with Ethan will be exposed to the public soon after all.” Elliot slightly flinched.
