"No," he stated confidently. "My power is the result of hard work and perseverance. Summoning people and having them at my beck and call is the luxury I have earned."
Yun Qian Meng smirked. "I am not someone you can 'summon,' Mr. Mo. I have worked just as hard to be where I am and I have the luxury to say no to you whenever I want."
Mo Qingchen huffed. "Well, my luxury remains if you discuss business with me." She couldn't talk him out of his pride, so she approached a different method.
"Then, are you calling me a luxury?" It was a highly subjective notion, so she wanted to tease him.
He shook his head. "No. You are a maddening anomaly."
Just as she was about to snipe back, a man in uniform, the security guard, spoke up. "Mr. Mo."
Qian Meng jumped back quickly, realizing how intimate the moment appeared.
"What is it?" Mo Qingchen asked impatiently.
