86 The Aftermath (1/2)

Paul was slightly taken aback by Luke's question. Thinking it over, he soon realised that it was only his boss asking a question about a woman who could potentially be good looking, so it was pretty normal.

”I haven't really investigated but I can get it for you today if you are interested,” he said with an eye roll.

”Nah, actually forget about it. However, do find me someone, I am in quite the good mood afterwards.”

”Will do,” Paul nodded in understanding, ”anything else?”

”No, that's fine. Just get those things done,” he said calmly, however, upon closer look one would notice how his eyes have become a shade darker, ”I am not gonna let Cain even have the chance to retaliate against me.”

As today was an outpatient day, Sia was done with her rounds in the afternoon. Returning back to her office, she took her phone and started dialing Attorney Clare's number. Her call was answered as soon as it went through and before she could even talk, she heard Attorney's enthusiastic voice:

”Hi Big Boss! I was going to call you with good news but you beat me to it,” started Ben in a rush. The next moment, as if realising how rude it might have sounded he hurried on to explain with an awkward chuckle, ”hahah, sorry, I was overexcited and didn't even keep my manners.”

Siana was actually taken aback from the start of this call: she had had some interactions with attorney Ben Clare and was on somehow familiar terms with him, so she knew he was a busy man. So why was he so free as to immediately pick up her call? Secondly, wasn't he supposed to be a very serious person, so what was up with his manner of speech? And finally, and most importantly, what was up with addressing her a 'Big Boss'!?

”Big Boss?” she ended up blurting her question, afterall, when did she become his boss, let alone some big boss? Wasn't it Cain who was his boss? Even if she was dating Cain, she would at most be the 'Lady Boss' not some 'Big Boss', right?

”Hahah, well, you are my Boss' Boss, so you are the Big Boss, no?” As if afraid that she wouldn't get him he went on, ”I mean, you are the only one that can actually Boss that mons... I mean your boyfriend around, so that makes you the Boss of my Boss, or my Big Boss!”

Left speechless for a good few seconds, Sia could only change the topic,

”So what were your updates?”

Finally getting to the best part of the talk, Ben excitedly started,

What Ben missed out was that when the king of Silverine learned that his daughter had offended the same woman who William Harding had feelings for, and who turned out to be the woman of Cain Greydale, he almost had a heart attack. He hadn't fought so hard for the position of the king for his daughter to go and ruin everything. Naturally he was more than happy for his daughter to be with the Harding heir, but that wasn't enough for him to go against the Dragon of the Underworld. So he suggested the solution himself, and even offered some apology gifts, which Ben naturally didn't refuse.

Thinking of the gifts, Ben continued, ”the Silverine Royal Family will also be donating 5 billion Ribekian Pounds to the orphanages and the elderly houses in Ribekia anonymously, which will be used to better the state of the facilities and the living conditions of the orphans and elderly.”
