Chapter 288: SAVAGE

"Ahh…" Hailee sighed in disappointment. "Even though I have been waiting for this event to wear that dress..." she rubbed her face against Ramon's upper arm and looked for a more comfortable position to lean on her husband. "Too bad, clothes that expensive cannot be worn…"

"You can wear it after the birth of our child," Ramon said, his hand reaching out to gently caress the top of Hailee's head before kissing her forehead. "What do you want to eat?" asked Ramon.

"Eat?" Hailee widened her eyes. "I just finished eating half an hour ago."

"You want some fruit?"

Hailee then glanced at her fruit plate which she had just emptied five minutes ago. "I have eaten fruit."

"Then want some chocolate?"

Hailee nodded, grinning.

"Wait a minute, I will get it," said Ramon, then got up to get a pack of chocolates that Hailee had been really liking lately.

Hailee then leaned back on the sofa while watching Ramon from behind and couldn't stop admiring her husband.

Hhmm… if only there were no problems called Giana and Aileen, of course her life would be perfect right now.

No. No.

Hailee shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. She then closed her eyes to take a deep breath, one of the methods she had been using recently whenever she needed to calm down.

Hailee just opened her eyes when someone opened the door. She thought it was Ramon who had just returned with the promised box of chocolates, but it turned out to be Lexus who came with a scrunched up face carrying a brown envelope in his hand.

It seemed that it was an important file that the two brothers had to discuss together.

"Where did you hide my brother?" asked Lexus as he stepped into the room, then sat down next to Hailee.

His sister- in- law frowned, hearing how Lexus asked for Ramon. The sentence seemed to indicate that Hailee had kidnapped her husband and tied him up somewhere so he couldn't go anywhere, not even to the office.

"Your brother is too big to hide," Hailee grumbled. "Hey, why don't you knock on the door before you enter this room?" Hailee complained when she realized this.

"Oh, I forgot… it seems my habit hasn't gone away," said Lexus lightly. He placed the brown envelope on top of Ramon's laptop keyboard and leaned back. "After all, what are you two going to do in broad daylight?"

Hailee grinned mischievously. "Oh, so what if it's daytime? That doesn't guarantee that you won't see something you shouldn't see."

Lexus pursed his lips and looked at Hailee in horror. "You are getting more and more shameless Hailee."

And Hailee laughed at Lexus's expression. "So next time, don't forget to knock on the door first."

"Sure, sure. Besides, I have to keep my eyes pure from people like you," Lexus grumbled. He then repeated the question that Hailee had not answered earlier. "Where's Ramon?"

"He's getting me chocolates," Hailee replied lightly.

"Damn!" Lexus grumbled. "He never even bought me a piece of chocolate. What did you do to my brother to become someone I don't recognize anymore?"

Hailee pouted her lips. "He looks a lot cuter and more human now."

Lexus thought about the sentence for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Yes, you have a point, too," he muttered.

Not long after, Ramon returned with a box of cold chocolates, but his sharp eyes were fixed on Lexus.

"Yo! Brother!" Lexus raised his hand with a grin, but Ramon's next sentence made the grin disappear quickly.

"What are you doing here?" replied Ramon while walking toward the two of them.

"You really have the heart," Lexus protested while clutching his chest, as if Ramon's words hurt him so much.

Ramon then sat between Hailee and Lexus making the two of them have to shift in their positions to make room for him.

"Am I not your brother anymore?" asked Lexus dramatically, but was ruthlessly ignored by Ramon.

He then reached out his hand to take the chocolates in Hailee's lap, but before Lexus could touch the chocolates, Ramon had slapped his hand away fiercely, staring at him with a warning look, as if by taking just a piece of chocolate, he could starve his wife.

"Cruel," said Lexus with a sad face and this made Hailee laugh at the antiques of the two brothers.

"What's this?" Finally Ramon noticed the brown envelope that was placed on his laptop. He knew it was brought in by Lexus at a single glance. 

"Oh, that's a document regarding the purchase of shares in the Dawson and Smith companies," Lexus replied. The documents were important files for the purchase of shares of the two companies that Ramon had ordered some time ago when the value of their shares plummeted on the stock market. "I  have got two more people willing to sell their shares."

"Hm," Ramon nodded.

"You bought shares in both companies?" asked Hailee. She didn't remember Ramon ever telling her this. "I don't remember you ever mentioning that."

"Yeah, looks like I forgot to tell you." Ramon rubbed Hailee's head. "Nothing to worry about."

Hailee shrugged nonchalantly. "I'm not worried, as long as it's profitable, then why not?"

A moment later, Hailee then ate her chocolate heartily on her bed, while Ramon and Lexus sat on the sofa discussing the shares.

He knew that tonight Giana would be attending Tordoff's company anniversary and there was a high chance she would meet Ramon there.

================ 

Giana was busy grooming herself to attend Tordoff's company anniversary event tonight. She was dressed very prettily in slightly sexy clothes, because she hoped, no, she was sure that she would meet Ramon tonight.

While Giana was too immersed in her own preoccupation with her makeup, she didn't realize that she was humming, something she very, very rarely did.

"You seem very happy," Dillon said, standing behind Giana with a hard-to-read expression on his face. "Nothing like usual."
