Chapter 128 - oozing cuteness (1/2)
[Inside the function hall of a five-star luxury hotel]
”Hey Boss, this is a grand party you're throwing! Tito commented happily as they look around at the spacious banquet hall filled with preoccupied crowd organizing the event. Tito delivered the last batch of flowers that Riggs ordered a few days ago, hence, he bumps into Seraphina who was doing her last check to the event's venue.
”Congrats, Ms. Yue.” Tito formally congratulated her as he hands her a bouquet of flowers he arranged himself. Although was unsure that he'll meet her today, he still prepared congratulatory flowers for her beforehand.
”You're oozing cuteness never disappoint me!” Seraphina merrily accepted the beautiful and fresh flowers whilst complimenting Tito who's now depicting a teenage boy being shy and humble.
”Ah, yeah, it was Riggs --” Tito was reminded of Riggs situation, thus, he inquired yet he stopped halfway.
”Hmm. I'm not that heartless to let him work in one of the important days of his life.” Seraphina's tone softens while she was c_a_r_e_s_sing the flowers in her hand.
”You should have let him have another week for recovery. I'm sure Rex and him will have another days of brawl.” Tito sighs thinking of the outcome when Riggs return.
”Oh, cutest, they're big boys now and know what's right and wrong.” Seraphina commented knowingly.
”Uh, right. They probably know that Boss will beat them until they are black and blue if they didn't restrain themselves this time.” Tito nodded in understanding.
[short flash back]
Reminiscing the past, Riggs and Rex were like water and oil -- fire and ice that always contradicts one another and can't cross path. Furthermore, it was already impossible for them to be seen in the same place. Thus, when Seraphina disguise as Luciano recruits them in the same team, she was like a mysthical rare being that made a miracle.
At first, there is not a single day of peace on their headquarters as both men can't stand to see each other. No matter if it's early in the morning or midnight, anytime, a brawl will always spark. Those time, Seraphina was always not around thus, when Seraphina dropped by in the mansion where they stayed in -- god knows how furious she was when she saw the injuries of both Riggs and Rex.
No one knows what she had done to them but after that day, the impatient Riggs who always picks on Rex minimize his action to verbal assault. On the other hand, the man of few words Rex restrained himself from Riggs constant trash talks.
