The Devil’s love
Chapter 129 - Dirty

"Firstly, my husband is really a gentleman and secondly call him a devil one more time and I'll kick your ass until it splits into four equal halves." Literally everyone was calling Yichan a devil and this was really getting into her nerves. What was so devilish about him? She was more annoyed than curious.

Flicking the cigarette away, Lucas scratched the back of his neck and started walking towards the living room. ​​

"If anyone is a devil, that has to be you. A dirty devil who lives dirty." Ning shouted.

"Talk to the rats who will start crawling under the feet any minute." he shouted.

Ning gritted her teeth and quickly dashed out of the room.

….

Living room.

Looking at the mess, she sighed. "Why don't you clean this place and live like a human being? Live clean."

Looking for something from the stack of junk food wrappers and cans, Lucas pulled out a packet of chips and started munching it. "How did you enter my apartment?"

"This whole complex is one of companies--"

"So does that give you the liberty to just barge into anyone's apartment just because you want to? Where is the privacy and security that was mentioned in the contract?" he asked before offering her a bite.

"For how many days was that lying there half open?" Ning asked.

"I don't know, may be a month."

"Argghh why haven't you died of food poisoning or some kind of dirty virus yet? You live in dirt and eat dirt." Ning shouted.

Throwing the empty packet on the floor, he chuckled, "If I had died, whom would you seek help from?" When Ning rolled her eyes, he added, "Ahh seriously when you roll her eyes, I feel like angel."

"Cut the crap Lucas, I have something important to discuss."

"Important? With me? Well, apart from the fact that my time is very precious, you've husband who is a million times more capable than me, so why would you want me?" Lucas asked.

Ning mockingly chuckled and asked, "Precious? Why? Are we expecting a call from the prime minister any minute now?"

"You want my help so you are the needy one. It's me who decides whether I want to help you or not and trust me, that tone of yours is not helping. You get no cookie points."

"And what makes you think that I am craving for your cookie points?" After taking a deep breath, she added, "Okay, listen to me Lucas, I need you help and I know you are always hungry for money. State your price and finish off my work. After that, I'll stop bugging you and you can continue living dirty again."

"Dirty huh? Don't you like DIRTY?" Biting his lips, when he winked at her forcing her to roll her eyes at him and his pervertness.

Dramatically clutching onto his chest, he sighed. "Well, why would you see me now? You managed to trap the most handsome man of the country in the web of your beauty. And what are we in front of that epitome of machoness?"

"Are you helping me or not?" Ning asked.

"Hmmm, I will but you have to say the three magical words." When she frowned, Lucas added, "Ahh no no not the romantic three magical words but the pleading three magical words."

Pausing for a while, he mimicked her voice, "Please help me."

"I am paying you so why would I say that? Okay, I will if you do it for free, so will you?" Ning asked.

"Duh, I won't even give out this empty chips packet for free and you want me to volunteer myself to help you for free? You sure live your life in a different world." Without waiting for her reply, he got up and started walking towards the kitchen.

…..

Inside the kitchen

"How much?" Ning asked.

"Depends."

"On what?"

"My mood and what needs to be done."

Taking out the jewellery box from her bag, she placed it on the kitchen counter. "I want you to return this to someone and deal with him in your way."

Lucas raised his eyebrows and asked, "My way? I thought you hated my way."

Pushing the box towards him, she smirked, "Well, not when I know you would love to deal with him too."

Staring at her, Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Seriously Puku, what are you up to?"

Ning closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "I thought we had decided something like, you never calling me that ever again in this lifetime."

"You kidding me? I love that name, it suits you. Isn't it more lovely and special than 'Babe' or 'Honey'?" Lucas asked.

"Cut the crap and tell me whether you are doing it or not?" Talking to him was always a pain in the ass.

Opening the box, Lucas chuckled, "Woah, girl who gave you this? You want to return this?" When she nodded her head, he added, "If you don't want it, can I keep it?"

Ning smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah sure but did I tell you who gave me this?"

"No you didn't."

Taping her nails on the counter which was actually the most cleanest place in the whole apartment, she smirked, "Roger Williams."

Slamming the jewellery box shut, Lucas frowned, "Toss it in the dustbin."

The change in his expression made her chuckle. "What? You don't want it now? No no take it, I give it to you."

When he did not say anything, Ning took a deep breath and continued, "Look, I am giving you a chance to talk to Roger and force him to answer your questions."

Keeping quiet for some time, he asked, "He is here?"

"He came here a couple days ago." Without waiting for his reply, Ning added, "I want you to meet him, return this to him and compel him to answer your questions as well. I can hire anyone to do this Lucas. In fact, Yi wanted to deal with him on his own but I thought may be I should give you this chance."
