Chapter 173<\/p>\n
Sensing the tension between Morris and Cherise, Leo glanced at Crow, who was casually munching on snacks.<\/p>\n
Then he pulled Crow out of the room and closed the door behind them.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, hey, let me go! We\u2019re both grown men\u2013this looks weird with you dragging me like this,\u201d Crow protested, struggling to break free from Leo\u2019s grip.<\/p>\n
Leo dragged Crow over to the bar on the first floor, ordered two glasses of juice from the server, and finally let go. Then he said. \u201cWeird? Back at the Lewis Chemical Plant, you held my hand while we ran.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crow took the juice Leo handed him, looking embarrassed as he took a sip. Then he muttered, \u201cI thought you were a woman at the time! I\u2019m a gentleman\u2013I always want to look out for a lady<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I had known you were a guy, there\u2019s no way I would\u2019ve done that<\/p>\n
His voice grew softer and softer.<\/p>\n
The next moment, Leo put his hand on Crow\u2019s shoulder and said. \u201cIt\u2019s okay, bro. In my life, it\u2019s the first time someone other than family or Mr. Chivers has looked out for me like that..<\/p>\n
Just because you didn\u2019t leave me behind, I\u2019m sticking with you from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d Crow asked, his embarrassment giving way to joy.<\/p>\n
Leo nodded, and they clinked their glasses before downing their juice.<\/p>\n
Then Crow pointed upstairs and said, \u201cSo, what\u2019s up with that? My boss\u2019s boyfriend looks familiar.<\/p>\n
\u201cBack at the chemical plant, I wanted to ask who he was. He is as good at fighting as my boss. What\u2019s his name again? He looks so familiar.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd why is he being called King all of a sudden, and my boss is acting like she doesn\u2019t even know?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo chuckled. \u201cHow could he not look familiar? You\u2019ve probably seen him in finance magazines or on the economic news. That\u2019s Mr. Morris Chivers.<\/p>\n
Crow let out a loud yelp. \u201cWhat? Morris Chivers? Wait\u2013my boss\u2019s boyfriend is that Morris?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo looked at the shocked Crow and nodded.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the VVIP room upstairs, Morris and Cherise were still standing there.<\/p>\n
Morris moved closer to Cherise, trying to take her hand, but Cherise turned gracefully, creating space between them again.<\/p>\n
Morris looked down at his now\u2013empty hand, shaking his head with a helpless smile before slowly making his way toward<\/p>\n
Cherise.<\/p>\n
This time, as Cherise was about to step back, Morris wrapped his arms tightly around her and said, \u201cBabe, I didn\u2019t know; I\u2019m sorry. Don\u2019t ignore me, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Knowing she couldn\u2019t break free, Cherise let herself remain in his embrace.<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s warm breath filled the air as he said. \u201cRight now, let\u2019s focus on fixing the audio file you need, alright? We can deal with everything else once we\u2019re home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise knew her priorities. \u201cFine. But let go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chapter 173<\/p>\n
Morris chuckled. \u201cAlright, alright: Reluctantly, he released her<\/p>\n
The moment she was free, Cherise walked over to the sofa<\/p>\n
illed out the laptop Crow had brought<\/p>\n
As she sat down. Morris sidled up right next to her, putting his arm around her waist, as if afraid she would disappear any<\/p>\n
second.<\/p>\n
Cherise turned to look at him, frowning slightly, a bit exasperated, but she let him<\/p>\n
She powered up the laptop, which booted up as swiftly as ever, and Morris couldn\u2019t help but raise an eyebrow at the speed.<\/p>\n
He thought, \u2018My girlfriend is truly exceptional, excelling in every field she ventures into and always at the top of her game. I feel like I need to put in more effort to keep up with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within seconds, Cherise located the corrupted call recording and set the laptop in front of Morris. \u201cHere, King, please fix this for me. Afterward, send me an account number, and I\u2019ll make sure payment is prompt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise acted like any other girl in love with her boyfriend\u2013occasionally throwing a playful little tantrum, slightly puffing her cheeks in mock frustration, looking utterly adorable.<\/p>\n
Morris couldn\u2019t help but chuckle, giving her a quick peck on the cheek before leaning toward the computer.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou-!\u201d Cherise started to say, but then she saw Morris\u2019s hands flying over the keyboard, too fast to follow.<\/p>\n
In just a few seconds, Morris stopped. \u201cAll done. Take a look, honey. And don\u2019t worry about the payment\u2013family doesn\u2019t put a price on helping each other. That kiss just covered it.\u201d<\/p>\n
