Aubrey finally turned on his phone when he was outside of the mansion. He was shocked when he saw tons of messages and calls from Lucy. Gosh.. he would have to be under her mercy when they see each other again.
He walked past the huge gate and a sports car had been waiting for him outside. He got inside it without much thought.
"Yesterday you gave me a text saying that you need me to pick you up at Lee's mansion. What is it this time? Got a problem?", Liam Min was sitting on the driver's seat. He gave Aubrey a light smile.
"What problem have I not gotten yet? Troubles always follow after me.", Aubrey joked. He leaned against the seat as his eyes wander outside the window. Liam drove away without saying another word.
When they were only 10 minutes on the road, Aubrey fell back asleep. Liam looked at him in wonder. Did he not get a good sleep last night?
Aubrey woke up nearly as fast, he looked around and saw that Liam was still driving.
"How long have I been asleep?", he asked, yawning.
"Not even close to five minutes.", Liam answered.
"Oh."
"You didn't get a pleasant sleep?"
"Since I was missing her like crazy, I couldn't sleep at all.", Aubrey said, he was definitely referring to Lucy. Liam chuckled when he heard that.
He had been running away from all the nosy women in his life, so he couldn't really relate to Aubrey's words. What does it feel like to have your life devoted only for one woman? He didn't know that feeling.
"Ah.. I'm already 30 but don't have a steady girlfriend.", he started complaining.
"Then go and find one.", Aubrey said. He faced Liam.
"Where's the laptop?", he asked him.
"Wait, are you going to do your work here? Inside the car?", Liam turned to Aubrey.
"Can't I?"
Liam didn't say anything against it as he pulled over at the roadside. He stepped outside of the car and went behind to the boot. The computer was put there. He took it and gave it to Aubrey. And then he drove again.
"Thank you.", Aubrey thanked him while he opened the laptop. He typed fast on the keys and he immediately got immersed in his own world.
Liam took a glance over the screen but he didn't understand a thing. What kind of page is that? Full of weird codes and numbers. Black and green in color.
Wait..
"You're hacking?!", he was surprised. No wonder he said he needed that kind of software..
"Yes I am.", Aubrey's eyes were still on the screen. He was paying every attention to it.
Aubrey memorized all the things he had read regarding Benjamin Lee, now was the time to take some little action.
"So where are we heading now?", Liam broke the silence, at first he wanted to drive Aubrey back to SereneHeights.
"Let's go and see the previous chairman.", he answered.
"Huh? You mean Silas Lee?", Liam faced Aubrey, a man five years younger than him.
"Who else?"
"Alright.", he started driving to the destination. He thought the first thing Aubrey would do was to go see Lucy.
"We'll be handing over the shares to you. Make sure you make the best headline tomorrow.", Aubrey stated while his eyes on the screen.
"No need to remind me.", Liam smiled in triumph. He was confident that he would make the best news when tomorrow comes. Aubrey's plan was quite rash and sudden, but it was a pretty good idea of striking the iron while it's still hot.
"She's working.. so I'll be going to the hospital after this.", Aubrey said suddenly, his eyes were still sticking on the laptop.
"So you do miss her a lot.", Liam chuckled.
"Well, she's my wife.", Aubrey shrugged his shoulder.
Liam drove silently. He never thought that he, as an heir to the giant Min Corporation would be a driver of Aubrey, the supposed heir of Lee Group. Sigh~
He couldn't expect more of this kind of event turner.
"This must be how it feels like to have a younger brother..", he mumbled alone.
"Pardon?", Aubrey turned towards Liam. He couldn't hear him as he was concentrating on his work.
"No, nothing.", Liam said.
•••
"Goodness.. today's end slower than usual. I want to go home..", Lucy propped her arms on the desk. Her face on her palm, she was feeling rather gloomy since Aubrey was missing (although for just a day).
She faced the clock hanging on the wall, ugh.. another one hour to go. And she still had the documents to settle by today.
Because of boredom and not wanting to finish her job, she started playing with her pens. She lined them up on her desk. Even playing her favourite mobile game was nothing fun now..
"Lucy.", a knocked was heard along with a voice so familiar.
"Huh?", Lucy turned her head towards the door, she could swear she heard Aubrey's voice just now!
"Can I come in?", he asked from outside.
"Wait.. I must be getting bored to even hallucinate.", she didn't believe what she was hearing.
Lucy slapped her face once and twice, then she tried reading the documents in front of her, hm.. she was fully awake and there was no sign of haziness. She could see the words clearly.
And then the door was opened, Aubrey was in her sight.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you so I thought you're-", he stopped talking suddenly when he saw the face she's making.
"Are you real?", she asked him.
"Huh?"
"You stupid- insensitive bastard!", Lucy ran to him and she punched him on the chest several times until she was satisfied. He was real!
"Ouch.. alright, I'm sorry!", he covered his chest with his hand, she was quite energetic and strong..
"Where were you?!", her voice high.
"I apologize my wife!"
"Don't you know how worried I was?!", she pulled him by the sleeve as she kissed him forcefully.
"..?!"
Aubrey was startled but he was immediately taken in her kisses. He missed her so much that he couldn't sleep last night. He had assigned a private bodyguard to look after Lucy but he was still worried of her.
"Wait- you're at work-", he tried to get her to stop. But that only intensified her kisses to be more rough.
"Mph-!", his head was ducked near her face by force. Before he knew it, she had circled her arms over his head, ruffling his soft black hair between her fingers.
Damn.. he missed the feels of her hands on his head. He felt at home whenever she does this.
Lucy wasn't stopping anytime soon, she really wanted to punish this man before her! But then she realized she was carried in his arms towards the table. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulder. And then she was already sitting on the desk, with his locking arms by the side. She couldn't go anywhere. Not like she wanted to get away..
