Chapter 87 - There Is No Rest For The Wicked

Sera was originally planning to prick Zhang Ying with the pin in her hand. However, before she could even touch her, Edward was already yelling at her.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!"

Sera straightened her back.

'Boring'

Too bad, it would have been fun to prick that woman with the pin, she thought as she laughed inwardly. Ah, this is really getting more and more exciting. Seems like being the villainess is really the right choice after all.

"I guess… I will see you in court. Sister." Sera coldly said before she turned her back and walked back towards the car where Chris had been waiting for her. The moment she sat inside the car, she immediately declared. "I've made up my mind."

"Hm?"

Sera was staring at him as she frowned. Chris was on his laptop, he was reading something while wearing eyeglasses.

"What are you looking at?" Chris flinched before he removed his glasses. He then smiled at her. "Are you done?"

It was as if Sera had forgotten the rest of the words that he wanted to say. She turned her head away. "Yes. We should leave." Her mind was in chaos.

How could that be?

Is It really possible to have two people with the same gaze under their glasses? That's impossible. Maybe she just missed Cross a lot? She was definitely hallucinating right now.

"Are you alright? You look… ill."

"No. I'm good. Please take me back to the hotel."

"Hotel? You're not going to move back to the house?"

"No," Sera said.

"Why?"

"Just because I don't want to."

She pursed her lips.

"You are really stubborn." Chris sigh. "Well… if you are not going to the house then I will move and live to your hotel."

"I won't open the door for you."

"I'll have my own key."

"…" She frowned as she looked at his serious face. "That's trespassing."

"I just want to see my wife every day. How can that be trespassing?"

"Who's your wife?" This man is back at it again. He was trying to irritate her to death.

"Aren't you my wife?"

"Then… "

"No divorce." He was shaking his head as if his life depended on it.

Why does he sound like he just won some war? She glared at him. "That's not what I wanted to say!"

"Oh?"

"I will go back," she said.

"That was easy. Did you finally have a change of heart and started liking me?"

"No. I just thought that the house belongs to me." She coldly smiled at him. "It's mine. I can change its locks anytime."

"…"

Seeing his expression, a sense of victory invaded her heart. She beamed. "Of course, I'm not doing it now. But next time… that you asked people to get inside my house. I will change its locks." Of course, he could easily break into her house. But he would not do that. Unless, of course, he really wanted her out of his life.

"Let's go back to the hotel first. I need to pack my things."

"Oh, I can help you with that."

"No need."

"I will help."

"Why do you want to rummage into my stuff?"

"I just want to help. How could you think that I have other motives?"

Again, she glared at him before turning her gaze away. She didn't say anything until they arrive at the hotel. Chris helped her pack her things, which wasn't really a lot to begin with. After about an hour, the two finally arrive back in the house.

"Hm?" Sera paused as she looked at the living room. "You changed the sofa and other furniture?"

"It's contaminated," Chris said with a proud smile. However, it only made her irritated.

"Isn't that your fault?" Sera said. "It's good that you know how to properly clean your surroundings."

"…" Chris only stared at her as she walked towards her room. Why does he feel something about Sera changed? For some reason, he couldn't say what it was. But he could feel it.

The changes.

There was a change in Sera's attitude.

Sera sat on the bed, sighing. Being too passive really isn't the right way.

But she had been so dormant until now. She didn't want to actively participate in any scheming and wanted to avoid such things as much as possible.

But damn!

'I guess there really is no rest for the wicked, huh?'

She could only smile as she recalled her dark past.

Soon her thoughts changed to Cross and Chris's eyes. How could it be so similar?

But now that she thought about it, Cross disappeared when Chris appeared. A foreboding feeling slowly crawled inside her. She shivered. If they are one person, then…

What would she do?

She bit her lips as she lay on the bed, unmoving. Her gaze was glued to the familiar ceiling. First things first.

She needed to take care of the Zhang Company.

….

Just as she expected, the news about Zhang Ying's words didn't reach the masses. Instead, the news about Sera's appearance that caused Zhang Ying's fainting was published in all outlets of the media.

She wasn't surprised to see Chris working inside her computer room this time. "What are you doing here?" Last night, this man slept in his own room.

Of course, she had no issues with that.

It was just a bit surprising.

"You don't look like you will work at home? Are we going somewhere?" Chris asked.

"I need to hire a qualified assistant," Sera said. "I am sorting out the board members of Zhang Corp."

"You will do it?" he asked, disbelief apparent in his eyes.

"You look surprised?" She was wearing a pale yellow, loose-fitting shirt and flesh-colored pants. She tucked it in, which emphasized her curves. She was also wearing some flesh-colored heels, which made her look taller.

"You look gorgeous."

She nodded. She already expected his reaction. Even she thought that she looked fantastic like this. It sounded narcissistic, but it was the truth.

"Thanks. I already know that." S

"So?"

"I want you to arrange a secretary for me. Someone hardworking and… smart." By smart, she meant scheming. Hopefully, Chris understood her meaning.

"No need to say that. Here… I chose three people for you. You can choose. All reliable. You can trust them."
