Adrian and Lucy were silently sitting at the table, sending daggers at each other with their eyes.
"All your fault ", their eyes, said at the same time.
Suddenly, Lucy saw Athena's number flashing on her phone's screen. Lucy did not pick up. If she was mentioning any mafia business, it would be difficult for her to reply. And it would look weird if she would leave just to attend a work call.
'I am sending you a file on what we discussed. I have got all information about him, except any secrets which he is hiding from everyone '. Then there was a file attached.
Lucy understood immediately. She messaged a 'good job' to Athena.
Then she saw another message flashing on her phone. It was from Reva. She opened the chatbox.
'Urgent ⭐There is news of Li Shen entering the capital. Me and Ransome working on details. Over'.
"Li shen",she thought, shocked, "Why the heck was he back in the country?".
The Li family were the rulers of the Chinese Underworld. They were the arch enemies of the American underworld. Lucy had found out that they had been thwarted by her parents and after that there was no news of them, so she had dismissed the matter thinking it to be unimportant. But if the rumours were true, she would be in great problem.
'I will reaching to you in one hour. Over . '
She forwarded the message to Athena. This was much more important than Felix's details right now.
"Why are you hooked on your phone?", exclaimed Adrian, from the other side. Although he tried to be far from Lucy, but he still like to hear her angry but sweet voice. And who the heck was she talking with anyway while her husband was sitting right in front of her?
"Work", said Lucy.
"Oh, wow. After burning down the whole kitchen, now you finally use your phone. Couldn't you just have ordered food?", asked Adrian.
"You were the one interested in cooking, Mr Oversmart. And besides the burning was not done by me alone", said Lucy.
In between their arguing, they saw Felix coming towards them carrying some plates. Lucy went there to help whole Adrian just folded his legs.
"Sit down with us ", said Lucy.
Felix sat down and arranged the dishes. There was a wafting smell from the food which filled inside them and made them crave for taste.
"It looks so tasty", said Lucy.
There was a faint glow of light smile on Felix's face as he saw Lucy layer her plate and push it towards herself. Adrian followed without complementing or saying thank you.
"Oh my god, it's so tasty", said Lucy.
"You think so?", asked Felix.
"Just normal , nothing special about it ", said Adrian.
"He's mad",said Lucy, shaking her head, "I've seen and eastern thousands of dishes prepared by mastershefs but this is the best one this far", said Lucy.
A faint pink blush appeared on Felix's cheeks.
"You should really consider being a cook , than a business man", suggested Lucy.
Felix's face dropped as he said this. Someone did think that he could be a better cook than a business man. But what was the point, Lucy was just a new member of the family. It was not like she could change everyone's opinions.
"You are being a bit too exaggerated", said Adrian.
"No, you're being a bit too ungrateful", said Lucy, stuffing her mouth.
"I am not saying it's bad. But why are you telling him to be a cook ? He's a child, and he may get the wrong idea", said Adrian.
"I am not a child anymore " said Felix fiercely, before Lucy could speak up. Then he took the remaining food and stormed towards his room.
"What did you do that for ?" said Lucy, "You're really unsupportive.".
"I was just trying to be practical and realistic, I did not knew that it would hurt him", said Adrian, a little guilty.
" Go apologize, then ", said Lucy .
The normal mafia king Adrian Smith would never have apologized for anything, but he did not feel like disagreeing with Lucy. So he went towards Felix's room.
Lucy on the other hand, grabbed the car 🚗 keys and went outside without changing her clothes.
