BXBX NOVEL Chapter 506: If only they can see you
506 If only they can see you
Lexi meekly scoffed and didn\'t respond to Churu as she headed to her office. As they headed to the chief executive officer\'s office — Lexi\'s office — everyone who was on the way would automatically bow their heads and step aside.
It continued like that until they reached Lexi\'s office. On the other hand, Churu kept on throwing questions that Lexi ignored until they reached their destination.
"Lexi this place is huge!" Stating the obvious fact, Churu frowned as she was displeased that she was being ignored. She noticed that whenever the employees would see Lexi walking from the distance, they would scurry away or avoid her.
It reminded her of Tora that everyone feared back in the day. Now, Lexi seemed like a different person and not at the same time. Just what happened? Also, was Ethan really dead? Churu was clueless, but regardless, she didn\'t want to jump into conclusion.
Instead, Churu observed her inner energy. After a beat, her white forehead creased. "Weird," She whispered before closing her eyes and concentrated again. But to no avail, she could not find the system.
There were no tasks or anything of the sort. What\'s she brought with her was only herself? Was that it? But, how? Churu was only allowed to crawl out from hell and be a guide system because of the system itself! Hence, how could she descend on earth if she has no task at all?
Meanwhile, Lexi didn\'t mind Churu as she picked up her bag and coat before heading to the elevator inside her office that would lead her straight to the establishment\'s parking space. Even after hearing Churu\'s puzzlement, Lexi seemed she was alone as she speed-dialed a person\'s number.
"Lexi, why are you ignoring me?" Frustrated at the bug in the system that Churu assumed, she was more upset that Lexi was ignoring her as if she wasn\'t there.
\'Everyone is watching me. Don\'t worry, we\'ll lose them later.\' Lexi responded inwardly as she waited for the call to be picked up by Morris Liu.
"Ohh…" Nodding in understanding, Churu looked around in the small space of the elevator. Glancing up, there was a camera above which made Churu fly in front of it. "Lexi, is Ethan dead?" As Churu examined the camera, she asked.
Lexi\'s slightly arched her brow up and pursed her lips. Just then, the line on the other end stopped ringing as it was picked up. "Yes?" greeted Morris Liu with his usual cold tone.
"I\'ll be going today." Without beating around the bush, Lexi said that confused Churu. Her senses were still heightened. Thus, Churu turned her head to Lexi when she heard Morris Liu\'s voice.
Truly, she was a lost dumpling as she could not understand a thing. Neither was Lexi gave her a detailed explanation of the current situation. "Lexi, what\'s going on…?" Churu sighed heavily.
\'Sissy, remember the time when we attended Miss Yue\'s party?\' Lexi nonchalantly strode to her car and asked.
Churu furrowed her brows as she recalled her memories about what she was referring to. After a beat, memories of that traumatic night Lexi and Ethan Lu experienced flashed inside her mind before she nodded her head.
\'Can you survey the area for me? Just like what you did last time.\' Lexi said, while looking for her keys inside her handbag. Though perplexed at the idea, Churu nodded and flew away while Lexi hitched inside the front passenger.
As soon as Lexi entered her car, a heavy exhaled escaped from her mouth before she leaned down and opened the compartment, where a burner phone was placed. She picked it up and dialed a number before it rang once and it was answered.
"Madam, the person you wanted is in custody." A man from the other end immediately reported as the only contact he has in this particular contact number was Lexi.
"I see. Treat him with extra care — I\'ll meet him tomorrow morning." Lexi sneered as a devious glint flashed across her pair of eyes. The moment her orders were given, she heard the loud scream of a man from the other end before she ended the line.
Lexi returned the burner phone back to the compartment and chuckled as the loud scream from the other end of the line earlier repeated in her head. "Another knight down, Lin." Lexi muttered in a satisfied tone.
Just then, Churu returned with a frown. "Lexi, I didn\'t see anything wrong." Churu surveyed the area multiple times. Unlike back in Seraphina Yue\'s event several years ago, Churu didn\'t sense any incoming danger just like what she assumed what Lexi\'s concern.
"That\'s good to hear." Sounding relieved, Lexi smiled before she started the car\'s engine.
"Where are we going?" Satisfied that Lexi\'s mood slightly lightened, Churu giddily asked, her hips moved sideways.
"Home. You haven\'t seen the twins, right?" Casting the adorable Churu a side glance, Lexi winked. Churu grinned from ear to ear with the thought of the twins. She nearly forgot that Lexi and Ethan\'s love has borne two seeds.
"Really? Really? OMO! Twins! I want to see them! Also, Mommy Yang and Daddy Yang! I missed them so much!" Churu\'s whole white flabby body trembled in excitement. She saw Lexi\'s smile changed but Churu chose to ignore it as the car started moving.
"If only they can see you, haha." Lexi humored as she drove to somewhere far away from the city. Churu smiled from ear to ear and asked Lexi about things regarding the twins from time to time. Meanwhile, Lexi patiently answered all her questions including the twins\' name, birthdate, their likes and dislikes, and so on so forth.
