Location: Bobo Jewelry Store, Underground Monitoring room
"That woman is indeed cunning. She doesn't trust us." Sari frowned when the video that they installed inside the room was interrupted. The staff informed him that Gabi should be carrying some sort of device that could interfere with video and audio recording. "She actually chose this place, letting us know that she trusts us to keep her business private. However, she wouldn't let us know what is this meeting about." He looked at Aden, who was yawning.
"Did you really just call me to tell me this? I was sleeping! I already expected that. I even told you not to do it. Tsk… Sari, you are too stubborn."
"But Boss, that woman is really suspicious. After all, everything that she said was true. Now, why would Prime Minister Sutton write something like that in his library? We have been looking into the Sealey Family for so long and many of our people were watching them all the time. Yet, we never notice anyone from the Prime Ministers people. So, how could that old man knew something like this?"
"Indeed. But let's not touch her for now." Aden let out another yawn. "My parents aren't letting me leave now. I will take care of it once I get back."
At the mention of Aden's parents, Sari immediately smiled. "Eh? Madam Lyca is stopping you from leaving? Why?"
"Why do you care?" Aden smirked. "Do you really like me to come back immediately? Say, did you miss me that much? Sari, you are a bit handsome but… I'm sorry… I don't like men."
"You — " Sari immediately felt irritated. "Why did you leave me here and took Tureis instead?"
"Miss Sutton will surely visit again. You already saw your brother's attitude, he won't be able to survive if Miss Sutton will smile at her again."
"And what about me? That woman's eyes were cold and calculating! I feel like she could see through me! You know how I hate people like that."
"Is that why you hate my little sister?"
"Who told you that I hate Aya?"
"Then you like Aya?"
"I don't!"
"Then you hate her!" Aden chuckled.
"You — " There is no winning when it comes to Aden. "Come back here, the Prince is calling me every day, complaining that he cannot reach you. He is planning to go to Xu Country to check if you are still alive. Boss, you tell me the truth… are you and the prince… "
"Shut up, you brute."
"Heh."
"Tell him I died."
"But—"
"Tell him not to come here or mother will kill him for making me work for him."
"Your mother is scary. How could she kill a prince?"
"That's because the prince is ugly. If he was handsome, my mother would not dare say something like that."
"You really are… how could you say something like that to the Madam?"
"It's true. If I am not handsome, maybe my mother poisoned me a long time ago."
Sari rolled his eyes. Aden and his mother were like twins and even the way they praised themselves were pretty similar too. "I will end the call. I will update you if Miss Sutton will kill someone."
"I promised to help her. Do your best to provide everything that she needs."
"Hmmm. Copy that. Send my regards to Aunt and Uncle."
"Sure… Sure… but just to let you know your father is here."
"Father?" Sari furrowed his brows. "Don't tell me the Chu Family is trying to convince Tureis to come back again? They should know we aren't planning to go back to that family. It's boring." The Chu Family, the second richest family in Xu Country, had been bothering both Sari and Tureis to come back home to learn about their business.
But who would want to compute money all the time? Just the thought of it is making him dizzy.
"No. It's another business venture with Shen Group."
"Ah… business."
"Yes. Business. All that tiring stuff." Aden said. "I will go back to sleep. Don't call me unless you are dying or something. I am tired."
"You have been sleeping since you arrive."
"Not my fault that Aya tricked me to make me come home. I'm not planning to do anything else but sleep. Bye."
And just like that, the call ended.
Sari could only shake his head. No matter how he looked at it, Aden was actually pretty lazy. He loved food and sleeping. If his guess was right, Aden already knew that Aya was lying. However, he immediately declared that he was leaving and seemed happy to call the prince, informing him that there is an emergency at home.
In short, Aden used Aya again to escape the prince.
Now that he thought about it, Sari could only laugh. In the eyes of the Prince, Aya was pretty manipulative who would scheme to make her brother come back home. What he didn't know was that Aden was actually the one who was fooling him, using Aya as a way to escape his work.
'Scheming bastard', Sari laughed. When it comes to scheming, Aden was indeed the best. And expecting his next scheme had become Sari's habit. It was fun. Being with Aden is definitely more fun compared to being with his Chu Family.
"Sir? A woman was looking for Miss Sutton, we already escorted her towards the private room just as you instructed." Sari's thoughts were interrupted by the woman's report.
"Got it."
"Sir, what about the audio and video?"
"Leave it. Don't say anything about it. Ah, Aden told me to give Miss Sutton two bodyguards from the shadows. He said he would call Miss Sutton and inform her about it." Sari said. He didn't know why Aden would do something like that. Why not just let the guards follow Miss Sutton silently? Is there really a need to inform her about it? Just what was so special about that woman?
"Weird man," he muttered.
