Chapter 244 - 244 He Can Rely On Her Too

October stepped out of Lexus' shadow with her back straight, her head high, and carried her usual calmness and innate elegance that she had honed from young. She was someone who does not cower in front of any crowd. Even if it was these media people that has a lot of drive and passion that may overwhelm people, she did not flinch. Instead, she looked cold and aloof.

As soon as the people saw her, they all quieted down. Her beauty captured all of the people's eyes. They gawked at her.

Every flatter of her eyelashes sent shivers down their spine. Her elegant brows that were slightly furrowed made them feel like they wanted to massage it and let the creases vanish. Her smooth and soft face was sparkling as if glitters decorated her face. And her pinkish lips that was thin was slightly pursed. But what made them suck their breaths was her emotionless and expressionless face coupled with that rippleless eyes flitted across them like a cold wind blowing around them, as if wanting to see and imbed their faces into her memory in order not to forget them, made them shiver in awe.

An Ice Queen had descended and graced them with her presence.

No flashes of cameras, no movement, no blinking, no voices to be heard. They were all silenced.

As October was about to open her mouth to say something, a sudden commotion from the very back of the crowded media people was heard. Their attention was instantly diverted to this.

Soon, a number of bodyguards dressed in their black suit lined up and made a protective barrier around October and Lexus. The reporters and the paparazzi was instantly pushed back unceremoniously.

The bodyguard's arrival was so sudden that October who was about to open her mouth closed it and swallowed the words that she was just about to say. She looked at them and had already realized who they were.

Suddenly, the bodyguard parted for a moment and came running Assistant Yu who was fl.u.s.tered. He still had yet to treat the slap on his face but it seemed like he was not at all troubled by it. Instead, his worry was directed entirely on the well-being of his masters.

He walked so fast, almost like running, toward them. It only took him a couple of big strides before he arrived before October and Lexus.

"Young master, young madam, are you okay?" He asked, slightly panting. Judging from it, it seemed like he was running around for sometime considering his heavy breathing and the sweat the had formed on his forehead. "I'm sorry for being late. This is my negligence. Please punish me."

October raised her brow at this. Punishment? Was she someone who punishes someone just for this little bit of issue?

She squinted her eyes at him and said, "Don't punish people just because of some small matter."

Lexus did not show much reaction at this. He looked down at her and only smiled harmlessly. It was like he had just switched on to his "husband mode" and "boss (evil) mode" off.

"What are you saying, wifey. I am just disciplining them. Moreover, their punishment was just light. It's not life threatening at all." He said nonchalantly. He gave October a reassuring face.

He said this but as soon as the bodyguards and Assistant Yu heard this, they shivered in fear. Their blood turned cold and their intestines did a backflip.

'Punishment is light? Not life threatening?' They shuddered and thought of the times where they were punished. The torture they got was so intense that it gave them nightmares up to this day ah!

'So that was light and safe? What kind of demon is their boss to be so evil like this?!'

Assistant Yu and the bodyguards wanted to cry and complain their grievances.

They really even wondered by their boss had met such an angel as a wife? They thought that October was too good for their boss. But they could not voice that out since that would be the same as forfeiting their lives. They could not take that kind of risk ah! They still wanted to live a long life.

"Are you telling the truth?" She squinted her eyes.

Lexus only chuckled at this and grabbed her to walk toward their awaiting car. "Yes, you do not have to worry about those trivial things."

The bodyguards and Assistant Yu almost choked on their blood from Lexus' hateful words.

'So their lives were considered to be trivial and significant.' The cold-blooded men felt like they had just been punched and got beaten up so badly. They pity themselves for having such a ruthless and merciless master. But they had already swore their lives to him so they really have no other choice but to follow him.

Assistant Yu opened the car door for Lexus and October. After making sure that the two were in, he climbed into the driver's seat and started the car. Not long later, they hit the road.

In the car, October got worried about Assistant Yu's glaring-red handprint made by Lu Xing.

"Assistant Yu, is your face okay?" She asked. "You have to put some ointment with that in order for it be healed immediately."

"Yes, young madam. Thank you for your concern." Assistant Yu sincerely thanked October's concern as he looked at her through the rear-view mirror. But that was a big mistake.

As soon as he looked, he noticed the dark-faced Lexus that was coldly looking straight at him. Just from that look was enough to let him understood that he was not allowed to look at October.

'Young master, why are you being so petty?'

October then turned to Lexus who was calmly sitting next to her as if that commotion they created in front of Josh's store had never affected him. She can even think that the man was treating it like it had never happened.

"What will happen to those media people?"

Lexus raised his brow at her and smiled meaningfully. "You don't have to bother with those kinds of people."

October was unreconciled. She could not just treat that as nothing.

"Young master, articles posted online started popping up. The netizens, especially the female population, were in uproar."

Lexus, who was planning on tasting October's lips, stopped in his assault and frowned at this. He fell into deep contemplation as his eyes flickered into an emotion October did not understand.
