Lazily Yours.

"There will be a city-level security company competition. This will include everything. From technology to assessing the threats to rescue operations." Ronan immediately started filling her in about this competition. "Right now, there were four security agencies in this city. Of course, these are not the best in the region but they are a little above us because well… "

"Well, what?" Lyca asked.

"Well… we lack people. The skilled ones were already on the other agency."

"How about our technology?"

"We are currently working on the technology part." This time, it was Shen Qui who answered her. Starting a company from scratch was not an easy feat. While he was able to build a reputation in this city, success was not really something that one would be able to achieve just by his name alone. He needed people.

Talented ones.

While Lyca was sleeping, Shen Qui opened a few clubs and restaurants then he started working on the security company that she wanted to create. Because Lyca was sleeping and Yi'an is not really working under him, Shen Qui had to use everything that he knew to establish what he had now.

Sadly, he knew it wasn't enough.

"Then… we're good." Lyca's words interrupted his thoughts. He stared at her, his gaze curious. Did he just hear her say we're good?

"I can hire experts to help us. Just take care of everything else."Lyca added. To be honest, jumping walls and threatening people was something that she was good at, not business. At least, Shen Qui could manage the business aspect while she could act as the secret weapon of the CEO.

She beamed. That sounded too cool in her ears.

"Xi, I think you are underestimating everything. We only have two months before the competition. We don't have the technology, no people, we don't have trained experts either."

"Do we have a lab?" Lyca asked.

"We do," Ronan answered.

"Do we have a place where people could train?"

"Yes."

"Then… we're set. Since we qualified then submit an application form we will join this competition!" She didn't hide the excitement in her voice as she opened her phone and sent a text to Yi'an. 

"You seemed too happy, it's scary." She heard Rue said but decided to ignore it. Before she fell asleep, Lyca already had a list of people… ehem… criminals that she wanted to hire. These are experts! People that were working in the black market. She already had their names, locations, and even their weaknesses!

How could she not use these resources for this competition?

Of course, she still needed to take care of their names as they too had many enemies. Or she can just kill their enemies! That sounded plausible! The smile on Lyca's face turned bigger as she ignored everyone's gaze and started exchanging texts with Yi'an.

"What is next to this city competition?"

"Region. We will go against, Long and Huang Security from Long City. Those two are really difficult because of their bullets and— "

"We can make something like that." Lyca lifted his head and looked at Ronan.

Ronan lifted his eyebrow. "Make the bullet?"

"Hmmm. I need your expertise in computer. Rue will be your assistant."

"What about me?" Cleo asked. "What should I do?"

"Do what you do best."

"Steal?"

Lyca's eyes immediately turned towards Shen Qui. "No… not steal. Borrow." She smiled before looking at Cleo again. "We are going to borrow something from someone then return it."

Everyone opened their mouth then closed it again. Seeing this, Lyca shrugged and gestured for them to continue what they were talking about. Sometimes, when she gets too excited, she would forget that talking means consuming a lot of her energy. If she wanted to pay Shen Qui another five… orgasms… today, she really needed to save her energy.

Seeing her lost interest, the others started talking about business— something that Shen Qui was very good at. Just listening to them talking about numbers, the market seemed to make her head hurt.

This was also the first time that Lyca knew that Shen Qui and Ronan were actually investing their money in the stocks! He even held shares in some of the powerful corporations in the country! She didn't hide the pride in her eyes as she continued smiling and eating her grapes.

Lyca could only thank the gods when she realized how compatible she was with Shen Qui. Lyca was never good with business— rather, she was too lazy to do business. And Shen Qui was the opposite! Who would have known that the man would be very good at analyzing the market!

Seeing that the other four people inside the office were now talking about opening more branches in other countries, Lyca decided to excuse herself. She used Shen Qui's car to go to Yi'an's house— a small two-bedroom house in the suburbs of Kong City.

While Yi'an was also working with Shen Qui, she was only in charge of things that concerns Lyca. For instance, she was the one gathering information about the Long and Huang Family as well as the other families who supported the Long Family. Aside from this, Yi'an is also doing all the black market things like illegal shipments and selling of stolen merchandise.

"Young Miss!" Since Lyca woke up, this was the second time that Yi'an saw her.

"Can't breath."

"Young miss! I heard about the mayor's daughter!" Yi'an immediately said as she gave Lyca a cup of tea. "Do you want me to just kill her? That would save you the trouble.

"Relax… I can take care of that."

"Young miss, when you were sleeping, I already asked Shen Qui if he would want me to take care of those women. But he always refused and said that he has his priorities and those people weren't one of them. While I agree with the— "

"Yi'an…"

"Yes, Young miss." Yi'an lips pressed into a thin line when she heard Lyca's warning. Lyca had been asleep for so long that she had actually forgotten how she always wanted the quiet. Direct… and quiet.
