Chapter 10: One Condition
"How do I set this? You read it and teach me how to do it. You know how lazy I am when it comes to reading," Xander instructed Assistant Ron who had arrived at the Yang mansion with a video intercom.
"Sir, we can ask the service provider to install it there instead," Ron suggested as he started reading the instructions.
"Do you think she would simply accept it if the service provider just went to her place and say that I have instructed them to do so? No, she won’t. That woman is as cold as ice, Ron. Trust me. At least with me, she feels a bit comfortable. Well, maybe not that comfortable, but she takes it into consideration that I’m Bernard’s closest cousin who was like a brother to him," explained Xander as he studied the recent reports on their new projects.
Assistant Ron threw a suspicious glance at his boss. It was not in his character to waste his time if things were not profitable. The same went for people, especially if it was not family.
Was Yera Han considered a family to him? It was unusual for him to invest so much effort and time for her, that he had even bought Bernard’s apartment just next door to hers.
"Ron, you really want your head to explode soon? Focus on that and make sure you show me how to properly install it!" Xander burst out when he noticed that his assistant was giving him a suspecting look instead of reading the video intercom manual as he instructed him to do.
Xander let out a conflicted sigh. He had his own reason as to why he wanted to get close to Deyna. And there was actually more to it, but even he couldn’t name it.
Then he smiled to himself when he recalled her angry face. She always had the same expressions. She would either frown or arch an eyebrow, and he found it utterly charming.
As soon as he learned how to install the video intercom, he immediately returned to his apartment. He knew that Deyna was not working that day and was at home, so he directly buzzed her doorbell.
"Hello," he greeted with his usual smile.
Deyna nodded a little as an answer.
