Toxic Empress

Asset Management Building

After flying for approximately fifteen minutes, Xander finally landed in front of the asset management building. Before that, Xander asked Xena to change the color of her eyes, Xena immediately returned the color of her eyes to silver, then her hair tied to a ponytail. Xander clasped Xena's hand, refusing to stay away from Xena for fear that she would lose Xena later.

“Is it right here where to take care of his assets? Why does it look more like a bar?”

Xena was stunned when she had just set foot in front of the door, inside the building there were many men who looked like thugs while drinking alcohol together. The atmosphere inside was much more lively and lively, the sound of laughter among employees and customers sounded crisp.

“Do not get me wrong, this place was deliberately created like this. Can't you see it? Everyone who comes here has a purpose to relieve the stress of the path of life they take. At least if they are here the feeling of fatigue by life can be reduced a little,” explained Xander.

What Xander mentioned was a fact, some of them looking for an escape to divert a moment of tiredness. Those who laugh are the strongest people in life. Then a man came up to Xander, the man looked very familiar with Xander.

“Your Majesty, how are you? Long time no see.” The brown-haired man saluted Xander.

“Ya, good news, how about you?” ask Xander back.

“As you see.” Then the man turned his attention to Xena, for a moment he was transfixed by Xena's beauty appeal. Feeling jealous, Xander blocks the man's view of Xena.

“Can I meet Liam?” Xander immediately asked for the sake of making the man's focus crumble.

“Mr Liam is at the top, let's follow me and I'll take you to meet Mr.”

The man guided their way to the top floor of the building, it turned out that the atmosphere on the top floor was quieter than the bottom floor. Upstairs there are some employees who are working more seriously to take care of the documents. The man then took them to the workspace of the asset management building's leader.

“Excuse me, Sir, Duke Geraldo is coming to meet you.”

A handsome gentle blue haired man was sitting leisurely in his room accompanied by alcohol on the table. His smile widens when he finds Xander coming to meet him, plus the notoriously cold Xander takes a beautiful woman with him.

“Oh Xander! What brings you here, buddy?” The man named Liam welcomed the friendly arrival of Xander. He immediately tidied up the messy documents on his desk before speaking further with Xander.

Although it had been sweetly welcomed like that, Xander's flat-face countenance had not changed, he was not very pleased with his welcome.

“It turns out you're still just as excited, I don't think you're going to be excited because I came here,” Xander said.

Liam steals a look at Xena who is busy being hidden by Xander behind her body. The curious Liam approached directly towards Xena, how he saw Xena. Soon he grabbed Xena's hand and dyed the tip of his fingers with an innocent face.

“Greetings, Miss, I'm Liam. May I know your name?”

Xander looked uncomfortable watching the scene, barely slapping Liam in the head. However, Xena first did so before Xander had a tantrum in Liam's study.

“Do not touch me!” Xena snapped at Liam while she rejected Liam's hand. Not usually women are rude to Liam, as a result of Xena's reaction made Liam speechless. Usually many women want to be in contact with him, but that is not the case for Xena who does not understand about love and handsome men.

Xander took out his handkerchief and wiped Liam's kiss marks on the end of Xena's fingers. Watching Xander's warm behavior with other women creates a sense of wonder in Liam's heart.

“How dare you touch my wife!” gertak Xander glared at Liam.

“Huh? Wife? This woman is really your wife? Since when did you get married? Why didn't you invite me to your wedding?” ask Liam streak.

“Who did you say your wife? I'm not your wife,” ketus Xena immediately went to sit on the sofa.

“You are my wife in the future! I don't want to know, you have to be my wife!” Xander.

“I don't want to!”

“Must want!”

There was a small commotion in Liam's study, while Liam just stood watching their debate that did not meet the end. Who would have thought his childhood friend – Xander could talk so casually with a woman, even forcing Xena to become his wife. Liam used to think that Xander wouldn't

he was married because he never showed any interest in women. Often Liam thinks that Xander is actually a same-sex lover, because he only plays with Garvin and the knights.

‘If like that girl is the type of wife of his dreams, it's worth all this time he's not interested in any woman. In Charise there is not even a more beautiful woman than her lover, Liam's inner’.

After that, Liam joined Xander and Xena to ask what their sudden arrival meant.

“Before starting the conversation, can I know your name, Miss?” ask Liam.

“Au—”

“Name Xena. You can't talk to him, you just talk to me,” cut Xander cynically.

Liam can only laugh clumsily, his friend who is as cold as polar ice seems to have a possessive nature, to just talk to Xena alone he does not allow it. Liam shook his head, he had to increase his patience to face Xander's nature.

“So why are you two here? What do you want to take care of assets?” ask Liam.

“Xena wants to buy all assets of Duke Alister family that have been sold, so please take care of it as soon as possible,” urged Xander.

Liam stared at Xena, he still did not realize that Xena was Alina's twin and Duke Alister's descendant.

“Aset Duke Alister? I can sell everything, but I'm so sorry except for the diamond mine has been bought by someone else,” Liam said.

Brakkkk

Xena hits the table, she reflexively gets angry when Liam says that his family's diamond mines have been sold.

“Who bought it? I don't want to know, that diamond mine should fall into my hands again!” firmly Xena was enveloped by an explosive fury.

Liam is shocked when Xena gets angry and hits his desk, not knowing why Xena is angry with him.

“Why are you scolding me? It's my job, so you can't protest with me,” Liam said.
