Chapter 64: Final Touches
The next day, Theresa, having finally returned to Schicksal HQ, was there because of Yaqing. This made Otto and Kallen, who had always wanted Theresa to visit more often, quite jealous, and they forcefully made her stay.
Faced with Kallen holding Theresa in her arms and Theresa's pitiful, pleading eyes, Yaqing could only silently look away. After all, Overseer Otto's "murderous" gaze was truly intimidating.
He boarded the plane back to the Far East alone.
In the afternoon, stepping back onto Far East soil, Yaqing felt a sense of relief. He had his driver pick him up from the airport and take him back to the Golden Courtyard in the suburbs.
"You're back?" Mobius, in a dinosaur onesie, sat on the living room sofa, cracking sunflower seeds and watching a cartoon with great interest.
"Yeah. I've seen this cartoon too," Yaqing sat down next to Mobius, watching the animation and grabbing a handful of seeds. "I remember they used to be lumberjacks. When did they become tour guides?"
"That changed a long time ago. It's been six or seven years," Mobius said, basking in the sun, looking utterly lazy.
Cracking sunflower seeds, a chairman of a Schicksal subsidiary and a biochemist whose name was in textbooks watched a full episode of a children's cartoon.
"So, how did it go? I hear the Schicksal board is extremely disharmonious," Mobius paused the cartoon, her smiling face looking pure and beautiful. If a stranger who didn't know Mobius saw her, they might really think she was a pure white lotus.
"Why should I care about them? Just a bunch of jumping monkeys," Yaqing said, his mouth dry from the seeds. He picked up a piece of fruit from the platter on the coffee table, wiped it on his casual clothes, and took a bite.
"I knew it. You and I, we're the same kind of person deep down," Mobius tilted her head, looking at Yaqing, her pink tongue licking her vibrant red lips.
"Please don't, Dr. Mobius. You should continue watching your cartoon. I'm going to go up and change. I have to go to the company soon," Yaqing stood up to leave.
Mobius pouted, picked up the remote, and continued watching the cartoon.
Yaqing went upstairs and met Su in the hallway.
"Su, are you off today?" Yaqing asked.
Su, having just come from the gym, was wearing a tank top. Normally, it wasn't obvious, and Yaqing had thought Su had a slender build. Now, seeing the muscles on Su's arms and the abs under his tank top, Yaqing's eye twitched. He had no doubt the man could kill him with one punch.
"Yes. It's only when I'm off that I have time to exercise," Su said, his eyes narrowed, his tone still gentle.
Seeing Su, Yaqing suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.
An actor?
This is a suitable actor.
Yaqing subconsciously wanted to put his arm around Su's neck, but stopped himself seeing that he was covered in sweat. "Su, interested in being an actor? Come and sign a contract with me. Become a new generation actor."
Su looked confused, not understanding what Yaqing meant. "No, thank you. I don't like being in the spotlight. Besides, the hospital is too busy. I can't spare the time to be an actor."
Su refused.
Yaqing was not surprised, as the invitation was just on a whim.
After taking a shower and changing into slightly more formal attire, Yaqing went downstairs to the living room and saw Mobius curled up asleep on the sofa. The TV was still playing the cartoon.
"A sleeping Mobius is more like a girl."
Yaqing brought a blanket down from upstairs and gently covered her.
"Ah, Yaqing, you're back~?" Elysia, having finished her livestream for the day, came down the stairs and looked at Yaqing in surprise.
"Shh," Yaqing, squatting by the sofa, made a shushing gesture.
"Ooh," Elysia finally noticed the sleeping Mobius and said happily, "Dr. Mobius is so cute when she's asleep. She'd be even better in a little skirt."
Yaqing shook his head. He was about to get up and leave when he felt someone grab his finger.
"Don't go..." the sleeping Mobius murmured. Her fair, slender right hand grasped Yaqing's finger, her beautiful brow furrowed as if in a nightmare.
"Yaqing, it looks like Mobius doesn't want you to leave," Elysia had a motherly smile on her face.
Yaqing squatted down.
"Klein... don't go..." Mobius blew a snot bubble.
Yaqing's smile froze for a moment. He grabbed Elysia's hand.
"Ehh!"
Elysia deliberately lowered her voice, only to find that at some point, Mobius had switched from holding Yaqing's finger to pulling on hers.
Yaqing smiled at the flustered Elysia. He knew, of course, that Elysia was all talk. If she were to get close to someone, she would probably die of shyness. He whispered, "Eli, sorry, I have work this afternoon."
Elysia looked poutily at Yaqing's departing back, then at the sleeping Mobius, and squatted down helplessly. "Honestly..."
Yaqing returned to the underground parking garage on floor B1.
The garage was filled with luxury cars that one would only see at world-class auto shows. Most of them were bought by Eden. There were several multi-million dollar luxury cars that Eden hadn't even driven since buying them.
Yaqing found his own luxury car in a corner. His car wasn't cheap either, but in front of Eden's fleet, it was clearly not in the same league.
Yaqing drove to the company.
On the top floor of the company, Salome reported to him that the promotional video for the teaser was ready, but the special effects and modeling would still take at least one or two months to complete, and would be done before November.
"Very good, Salome. The second movie will be released on Christmas."
Yaqing sat in his office. Shigure Kira was lounging on the guest sofa, eating cookies and drinking milk, looking even more relaxed than him, the chairman. He said, exasperated, "Kira, why are you so idle?"
Shigure Kira took a sip of milk to wash down a cookie. "Unlike them, I'm not in charge of an entire department. I just have to finish my own work. I heard you went back to headquarters?"
"Yeah, went back to witness a ridiculous farce," Yaqing said, flipping through the documents that had arrived in the past few days.
"Did you see Director Cecilia then?" Shigure Kira's interest was suddenly piqued, her eyes shining as she looked at Yaqing.
"No, sister Cecilia is still on vacation in Shenzhou. I only called Siegfried back," Yaqing said without looking up.
"Aww..." Shigure Kira slumped on the sofa, but then, as if remembering something, she suddenly got excited again. "Shenzhou isn't far! Yaqing, I want to take a leave of absence!"
"Huh?" Yaqing looked at her strangely.
"Have you even thought about what you're saying?" Yaqing said, his smile not reaching his eyes. "You just started, not even a week ago, and you're already thinking about taking leave. What will the people below think? Just stay put. After the second movie is released, I'll give you a vacation."
"Mmm..."
And back at the Golden Courtyard, Mobius slowly woke up. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was a great evil. She realized she was lying on Elysia's lap and her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Elysia looked down. Through the valley of her chest, she could barely see half of Mobius's pretty face.
"Dr. Mobius, you're finally awake. Did you sleep well on Miss Elysia's lap pillow?" Elysia said playfully.
Mobius didn't reply, just struggled to sit up. When she noticed the blanket on her, she was stunned.
"This wasn't put there by Miss Elysia, you know~" Elysia said, rubbing her numb thighs and winking.
"Mmm..." Mobius still didn't reply.
