The Devil's Secretary

Chapter 275: My condolences

Lu Xian did not have to turn towards the source of the voice to know who it was. It just had to be a certain veiled woman who had somehow found her way around everything.

’’This place is guarded by my men. How did you even get inside?" Lu Xian asked, a hint of exasperation in his voice as he turned around to walk away.

But he had just taken a step when something soft bumped into him from behind. Lu Xian stilled as the woman rubbed her delicate body against his back.

’’I have my ways to find you no matter where you are,’’ the woman said, rather flirtatiously.

Lu Xian stepped around, breaking away from her touch, ’’What do you need me for at this moment?"

’’Do I only find you when I have something to ask for from you.’’

’’Yes,’’ he scoffed, ’’You indeed do that and I prefer it to be like that. Because the day you start looking for me for anything other than work will be the day I squeeze your throat...’’

’’Till I moan your name?"

’’Till you lose your last breath."

Both spoke at the same time.

Lu Xian’s eyes narrowed.

The woman chuckled at his reaction, ’’Come on. We still share some history. You were fucking me so well the last time we met. Do you have the heart to kill me now?"

Lu Xian pinched the spot between his brows and averted his gaze. He was concerned that he would lose every shred of self control he was left with and do something that he might regret later.

Out of sight, out of mind. He decided to practice that for a while. If only it was that easy.

The woman walked past him and moved to sit on his bed. She was donned in a white dress that hugged her curves in all the right places but did not reveal an inch of her skin other than her exposed ankles that had strapped on them a pair of vibrant red heels which seemed no less than 6 inches long.

Still, she stood a few heads shorter than him.

Lu Xian could not help but chide himself at his object of focus. He refused to look this way. She still looked the same way as she had when they met for the first tie and made a deal but he had not been measuring how short she was compared to him or how lithe her body was, for that matter.

But he had been doing that lately. As much as he hated to admit, he could not erase the memories of how she had felt under him and how he had felt inside her.

She always wore that flimsy little veil on her face that only revealed her defiant demonic eyes which were manipulative as she was. And before a few days, he did not feel an itch to rip that veil off her face.

Weird. frёeωebɳovel.com

It was so weird.

Hence, his frustration and anger that he directed at her the moment she stepped into his line of sight.

Still, the woman remained unfazed. She crossed her legs and sat on the bed in a leisurely manner, ’’Now that you mentioned business, let’s talk business. Did you check what I gave you that night?"

The night when she let him fuck her in that dark cell where he tortured people and the corpse of Mrs. Lu’s brother stood as the witness to their depraved debauchery.

Seeing his blank expression, the woman clicked her tongue, ’’It is obvious that you did not check it.’’

’’I forgot,’’ The truth was he had not forgotten about it but he simply could not be bothered to.

"Weren’t you a devoted lover of Daisy? Don’t you love her anymore?" The woman pushed herself to her feet, ’’The thing I gave you will be of a major help.’’

Lu Xian was still unmoved but after giving it a thought, he nodded, ’’Tell me what it is about.’’

’’Take it out and look for yourself,’’ she said.

After giving it some thought, he glanced in the direction of the drawers but just as he took a step forward, his phone started ringing.

’’Hello...’’

The woman watched as Lu Xian’s indifferent expressions changed drastically, his fingers gripped around the phone until his palms turned white.

...

Lu mansion.

’’Mr. Lu, we have sealed the entire place. We were just waiting for you,’’ the head of the police department stood in front of Lu Xian, ’’My condolences,’’ he said before stepping to the side.

Lu Xian frowned but otherwise he did not say anything as he stepped inside the mansion.

’’Miss, you are not allowed inside,’’ the police blocked the woman’s path who was following Lu Xian. The sight of the veil on her face made her seem more mysterious to them.

However, in the next second, two drops of tears slid down from the corner of her eyes as she sniffed, ’’I am his girlfriend. We were together when he got your call. Officer, I can’t leave him alone at a time like this, you see...’’

’’Girlfriend...’’ The people who were present looked at each other, whispering and discussing, especially the female members of the police team who kept tracks of the tabloids. They never heard that the heir of the Lu family had a girlfriend.

The discussions always went like— The first son was sickly and barely showed his face outside, Lu Xian was only concerned with Lu Corporations and the third son had a fiancee, Daisy Chen who ran away from their supposed wedding.

’’Sure,’’ Nevertheless, they still let the lady enter without further questioning. Since she had followed Lu Xian so far and he did not seem to have any issues with it, it was better for them to not get on his bad side.

The voices in the background seemed to be fading away in nothingness for Lu Xian. All he could hear was a silence, a silence that pierced inside his soul and ravaged whatever sanity there was left to him.
