“What’s wrong, Lewis? Why do you look so out of it?” Sierra had been in the car for a while, but all Lewis did was sit there and smoke. He’d already gone through two

cigarettes, and yet, the car was still in the parking lot.

Giving his cigarette a final puff, Lewis chucked the butt out of the window. “Is your ankle any better?” He turned to look at Sierra.

She made a face. “I’m honored that you still remember that. Thanks for your concern, but I’m still alive and kicking,” she said sarcastically. She was still very much hung up on the incident as she had thought that she could make a big fuss out of it. How was she to know that it would be brushed aside just like that? And to make matters worse, she had yet to receive an apology from that mute!

“I’m not in the mood to sweet–talk you. What do you feel like having for dinner?” Lewis massaged his temple, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Sierra glanced at him in bewilderment after a brief pause. “Is anything the matter? Is it something to do with work?”

“There are some complications.” Lewis started the car and drove off.

Sierra was only a secretary in name and leeched off the payroll. Frankly speaking. she still wasn’t exactly sure what businesses the company ran, so she had no means. of helping or soothing him even if she wanted to. All she could do was to keep quiet.

Sierra whipped out her phone and started gaming as she usually did when she was. bored at work. The game was called “Descendants of the Dragon“. It was currently the trendiest game around, and she had made a lot of in–game purchases.

In fact, she had spent more than five hundred thousand dollars on it just last month, simply to ensure that she remained at the top of the leaderboard. Of course, it was Lewis‘ card that she used to make those purchases. He had given her a supplementary card which had no purchase limit. However, she would have to give him a heads–up for purchases exceeding a million dollars, which he would usually allow.

“Hey Lewis, they’re filming a festive promotional video for this game and are hosting talent castings. I’d like to go try it out.”

Lewis hummed lightly in response as he kept his hands on the steering wheel.
