Lucian stared at the photograph, a dangerous smirk playing on his lips. "Things are getting interesting."
Seraphina quickly added, "Don't dig into him just yet. We don't want to spook them. We still need him to act as our personal courier for the bait."
Lucian looked up at Seraphina, his eyes swimming with deep admiration and raw affection.
Without warning, he leaned in and pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead.
"My beautiful wife. You're far more lethal than my entire board of directors."
Seraphina's ears flushed crimson. She gave his chest a light shove. "Be serious."
Lucian caught her hand, his voice dropping an octave. "I am being completely serious."
With the bottle still wedged in his mouth, Little Bean's inner voice erupted in absolute outrage. "Daddy! Where is your professional decorum!"
"A strategy meeting is a strategy meeting! Stop making out! I am actively trying to consume my nutrients! Do you have any idea how much this kind of PDA disrupts my digestive tract?!"
He furiously spat out the bottle nipple.
"Whatever. I'm fasting. I've completely lost my appetite. You two are suffocating me with your romance."
Three seconds passed.
He quietly pulled the nipple back into his mouth.
"But this is the limited-edition formula... wasting it would be an insult to the economy."
Seraphina nearly choked on her laughter. She bit her lip hard to regain her composure, forcing a stern expression. "Ahem... let's finalize the rollout."
Seraphina reviewed the strategic blueprints Lucian had drafted one last time, hunting for any logical loopholes.
With the heavy lifting done, Lucian effortlessly pulled Seraphina onto his lap, his hands beginning to wander with agonizingly slow intent.
Seraphina was halfway through a sentence when her breath hitched, completely losing her train of thought.
"Where exactly are your hands going?" Seraphina shot him an exasperated glare, turning her head.
As she turned, her lips brushed across his cheek, hovering mere millimeters from his mouth.
Like a static shock, Seraphina instinctively leaned back.
Lucian's hand snapped to the back of her head, locking her in place as he crushed his lips against hers.
"Mmh..."
