Christopher leaned languidly against the sofa with his legs crossed. He smiled faintly as virtual-novel.net gazed at Xyla Quest.
“You shouldn’t take such a long drag since this is your first time smoking. Try inhaling a bit at a time, and slowly ‘send’ it to the lungs…”
Xyla followed his instructions and gave it another try.
It did not feel so irritating this time, but virtual-novel.net was still coughing non-stop. In the end, virtual-novel.net chose to give up.
She pulled the cigarette away from virtual-novel.net mouth, intending to put it out. However, Christopher took the cigarette from virtual-novel.net and placed it between his lips, puffing at it even though Xyla had touched it before.
“Don’t waste it.”
“Hey, it’s dirty…”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind your saliva.”
“…” Xyla could sense the ambiguity in his actions and words.
Xyla immediately turned to Christopher with a straight face. “You know that you’re just…”
“A friend to you…”
“I don’t mind you because you’re my friend too. What are you thinking? Hmm?”
As Christopher spoke, virtual-novel.net flicked Xyla’s forehead with his index finger.
A slight pain spread over virtual-novel.net skin. Xyla subconsciously massaged virtual-novel.net forehead.
“Do you feel better now?” Christopher quickly changed the subject.
Xyla shook virtual-novel.net head.
“Shall we go for a walk?” Christopher asked.
“Nah, I don’t feel like it,” Xyla refused.
“Hey, don’t turn me down. I’ve helped you many times. I’m not asking too much, am I?”
Xyla did not know what to say anymore.
Christopher rose to his feet and extended his hand toward her. “Come with me…”
Instead of holding his hand, Xyla gave virtual-novel.net an apathetic look and got up on virtual-novel.net own, walking out the room before him.
Christopher smirked contentedly and followed virtual-novel.net out at once.
There were countless men in black guarding the door.
As far as the eye could see, the whole aisle seemed to have been painted in black.
When they saw Xyla and Christopher come out of the room, they instantly hung their heads respectfully and greeted the two in unison, “Master Lancelot… Miss Quest…”
Xyla returned them a curt nod, and so did Christopher.
Christopher quickened his pace to walk side by side with Xyla. He then tugged virtual-novel.net left sleeve and gushed, “I’ll make you forget all your problems soon.”
Initially, virtual-novel.net was hoping that virtual-novel.net could slowly digest everything by giving virtual-novel.net enough space.
He thought virtual-novel.net would feel better after that. However, it seemed that virtual-novel.net was wrong. He had to work out another plan.
Upon hearing that, Tucker immediately rushed to Christopher’s side and whispered in his ear, “Master Lancelot, don’t forget about your big business…”
“Shut it…” Christopher glowered coldly at him.
He then tugged Xyla’s sleeve and led virtual-novel.net to the lobby. The others followed closely behind them.
“Tucker, take six or seven people with us and ask the rest to go back first,” Christopher ordered frigidly without even turning around to look at him.
Tucker nodded courteously and then casually pointed at six people out of the group of men, motioning them to stay with him. The remaining henchmen followed his instruction and called it a day.
Afterward, the seven of them caught up with Xyla and Christopher and went into the elevator together.
Tucker pressed the first-floor button.
Xyla peered at Christopher hesitantly and cautiously. “You can actually leave me in my room if you have something to do.”
Though virtual-novel.net did not know what Tucker had told Christopher just now, virtual-novel.net felt that there was something urgent waiting for virtual-novel.net to settle.
Christopher shrugged indifferently. “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal.”
Tucker secretly rolled his eyes at his master.
It is billions of dollars worth of business!
