Keon looks at his reflection in the elevator and smiles. He leans closer and pushes the lock of hair that was falling on his forehead."How can you be so handsome? I pity the omegas around you?" He sighs, feeling helpless for the omegas, and blows a kiss at his reflection.
His phone beeps, making him fish it out of the pocket. It has been going on for a long, and he has been avoiding it, but now that he is free, he finally checks it.
There were texts from his assistant and organizers. He gives a cursory glance at their text, then opens his assistant's mail. He could feel the anxiousness of the assistant through the text.
"The article has reached the highest recorded view. Do you think we should still be quiet and not do anything?" His assistant asks.
It seems like his staff was worried that their position on top would be replaced by the article posted by the Sun magazine.
The article was posted during the night. They also wrote about the possibility of Araki and Ella getting married. The Sun magazine seems to be very much interested in Araki's personal life.
Keon hated it when someone interfered in their lives more than was bearable. His production team also wanted to get information on Araki's dating life, if there was any, but he, being their head, declined each time.
They knew any article that involved a topic like this would gain attention and would also be beneficial in maintaining their position.
However, Keon has his reasons. One is, that he doesn't want to involve Araki in a gossip that he has no link to, and the second is he is sure of his plans and knows Sun magazine can't replace him.
Keon types on the phone. "It's okay."
He sends the message and keeps the phone back, not bothering to check it further. There was a wave of texts after his response. He was unbothered by it. His stance was clear.
The elevator door opens, and as soon as Keon steps out of it, he notices Lucian walking toward his office. Keon's smile brightens up.
He quickly follows Lucian, "Second young master West." He calls in a teasing way.
Lucian stops in his tracks and turns back with an annoyed look on his face. He shows a fake smile to Keon. "Yes, young master Li."
Keon's smile wipes away. He hated to be linked to Li. He is more happy to be called Yu, than Li, but this is known by only a few of them in the circle.
They both stare at each other. It seemed like the spark was flowing in the air ready to strike the two.
The two smile, hiding their distaste, and shake their hands, "Haha got you." They both speak up, gritting their teeth.
Keon scrunches his nose and moves closer to Lucian.
"Hmm...what is this? Where is your annoying scent? You are putting a blocker again? Going to do something dirty?"
Keon wriggles his brow. Lucian rolls his eyes, not in a mood to reply.
Two employees walk past them, greet them, and then go back to discussing the article in the Sun magazine.
Lucian and Keon make a face upon hearing it. Then they notice each other expressions and a genuine grin crosses Keon's lips.
His mood was suddenly good. "Of course, I should have known we both share the same sentiments." He puts his arm on Lucian's shoulder.
