Chapter 82: Is That A Joke?
Xander was deep in thought as he waited for Yera in his office.
Yera should know that her new assistant was such a busybody. "Tsk.." Xander scoffed as he recalled how Keira had nagged him for not telling her about such important matters concerning Yera.
Well, he deliberately didn’t do so because he was capable of handling the matter on his own. Besides, Keira’s father, was the Field Marshal of the country and had more pressing issues that he had to handle. Their family already had enough on their plate, and moreover, Keira was pregnant. So she really should not be worrying about this kind of thing.
Though Keira had vouched for Rizie, saying that Rizie could be trusted, it was still Yera’s call, and not his. Ralf had informed him that he had another lead on one of the suspects, mainly the leader, so hopefully, everything would turn out well soon.
He already tightened Yera’s security, especially now that Jam had already seen her. Those who were involved in her abduction a couple of years ago would soon be alarmed.
Xander was startled when the door opened. "Hey, Dr. CEO!!!" exclaimed Rui, who entered with a dim expression. "I will resign now and set up my own hospital to compete with you!" Rui declared as he sat on the couch, with his legs crossed comfortably. Xander grinned and murmured, "I’m sure that hospital would rank first from the bottom..."
Xander stood up from his own chair and moved to sit in front of his friend. "What’s wrong with you? Before, you often asked me to have you dispatched to every corner of the world, and even volunteered to go to high-risk areas. And now, just from a simple handling of human bones, you’re already threatening to be my rival?" Xander asked, amused.
Rui’s family was one of the wealthiest families in the country, but they also belonged to the most low-key and mysterious kind. You would not have an inkling of how abundant their wealth and power are, if you were not acquainted with them personally. They preferred to keep a low profile and were very private.
Rui did not reply and instead released a long and desolate sigh. Xander immediately knew that something was bothering his friend, so he asked, "What’s your problem, Dr. Seer?" Rui pursed his lips upon hearing Xander’s mocking tone. Well, Xander had gotten it right. He was indeed troubled, so he answered, "You said you would treat me as soon as I got back, but you had not even bothered to see me."
