Chapter 495: The Timeless Elegance for His Beloved
"Hahaha! Haha! Hahaha!"
Edward smiled in helplessness as he listened to Calix’s continuous laughter. He glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing his boss throw his head back, cackling out loud in the backseat.
Whoa... He really seemed to enjoy laughing at another’s misfortune.
The sedan sped down the road, moving further and further away from the auction venue. The passing lampposts bounced their lights on the sleek metal, sending sparkles in their wake.
Edward effortlessly maneuvered the car through the highway. The destination was Graceville Manor, to send Calix there before returning to his own apartment—to his beloved Chow Chow dog.
"You might die laughing before you get home, Boss Xu," Edward tossed those words to Calix, a smirk lacing his lips, "You still need to give the jewelry to Mrs. Leslie and Little Miss Poppy yourself."
"Don’t curse your own boss ah. Haha... My stomach hurts... Damn that Xander. I didn’t expect him to tell such a story."
Calix replied, almost breathless from all the cackling. He patted his tummy, still struggling to hold back laughing. His jaw also ached.
Every word spoken by Xander in his car earlier was still clear in Calix’s mind. Aside from thinking how hilarious it was, he felt it was such a pity he couldn’t witness the original scene first-hand.
Never once in his life did Calix imagine Xander apologizing to him. Also, he never foresaw the same man getting punched in the face by Ryken.
It seemed like that best friend of theirs assumed using his fist was better than talking through Xander, the epitome of arrogance.
