The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"No, no, no—not a chance."

Ned's heartfelt congratulations left Hux shocked, and he quickly flashed a smile awkwardly. "I would never have been allowed to succeed you if you refused. If you need anything, just say the word and consider it done."

Hux was clearly a people's person, offering Frank assurance and then insisting his loyalty toward Ned in quick succession.

Cid hurried over, eager to show his face. "Don't worry, Mr. Janko. My brother will definitely lead the Sunblazers to new heights."

Ned smiled and nodded, and finally showed his true colors just then. "Would you happen to be free later, Vicky? I have a reservation at a hotel restaurant nearby. Care to join us? Let's get to know each other..."

Pax, who was about to leave despondently, heard him.

His eyes lit up right then, and he ran over to them with a fawning smile. "We're still friends even though I've passed the torch to Hux, right? And I'm leaving the country soon anyway. It'll be our last banquet together, so I can properly say my goodbyes to you and Hux."
