After leaving Angelique's penthouse, Tristan and Matthew went back to the company. Andrew and the other directors just finished their meeting.
Grandpa Lu also heard the news regarding the problem with their model. He summoned Andrew and Tristan to his office to hear the whole story.
The two brothers were now facing their grandfather who was also the Chairman of their company.
"So what's the update? Have you talked to the model?" Grandpa Lu asked them both.
Grandpa Lu was sitting on his executive chair while Tristan and Andrew were standing in front of his desk.
"Brother was the one who talked to her grandpa," Andrew said, informing Grandpa Lu when Tristan remained silent.
Tristan seemed like his mind was wandering somewhere and he was not paying attention to Grandpa Lu's words. He just snapped back when Andrew nudged his shoulder.
"So Tristan, how is it? What is her demand in order to continue our collaboration?" Grandpa asked Tristan once again.
A cold glint flashed through Tristan's eyes as he recalled what happened during his conversation with Angelique Rioz.
"Grandpa, No collaboration will happen. We will no longer work with her. Furthermore, can I make a request? Can we put Angelique Rioz in our blacklist. I don't want our company to be associated with her even in the future." Tristan said firmly, making Andrew and Grandpa Lu become puzzled.
"Why? Tell me the reason for doing this? What happened during your conversation with her?" Grandpa Lu probed. He knew Tristan had a reason for doing this.
Tristan sighed deeply before informing Andrew and Grandpa Lu of the seduction attempt Angelique did to him.
"Her demand… she asked me to sleep and have sex with her in exchange she would continue being our company's model!"
Grandpa Lu: "Cough! Cough!"
Andrew: "..."
Both Andrew and Grandpa Lu were stupefied after hearing that. Grandpa Lu even choked on his coffee and spat it out when Tristan said those words.
"Wow, the supermodel asked the CEO to have sex with her! So bold and aggressive! So what did you do brother?" Andrew asked, teasing Tristan.
Tristan just glared at his brother before replying, "Of course, I turned her down! I'm not that stupid who would pick a rock rather than a diamond. My wife is already a diamond! Why should I sleep with her? I already have my wife whom I can sleep with any time I want!"
Andrew: "..."
"CEO Davis, watch your mouth. We are in the office now. Please refrain from thinking kinky things." Grandpa Lu said, reminding Tristan.
Andrew: "Pffft…"
Andrew tried to hold his laughter but failed. Grandpa Lu also joined him as they burst out laughing. Tristan just watched them in amusement.
"Why are you laughing, brother, grandpa?"
Andrew and Grandpa Lu exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They understood each other as they were thinking the same thing.
"Brother, grandpa and I just remember that Lillie is pregnant. So sooner or later you will not be able to touch her. You have to endure it. You will be forced to abstain because of Little Davis." Andrew explained to Tristan.
Tristan's face contorted right away upon hearing that. 'Damn! I almost forgot about that.'
"Alright, so speaking of that supermodel… We will announce that we are banning her and putting her on our company's blacklists. Tell them that breaching the contract with us is the main reason for this," Grandpa Lu suggested to them.
"It's better to tell the public right now that she will no longer be our model during the event. It will lessen the damage to our company. Besides, I don't care about her. Hmmp. How dare she covets the husband of my granddaughter?!"
"Grandpa… the way you said that it seems like my brother is your grandson-in-law. Hahaha and Lillie is your real granddaughter," Andrew made another side comment before laughing again.
Tristan just rolled his eyes and elbowed his brother, Andrew.
"Okay, another thing before I dismiss you both… Just find another model. That's our only solution for now. She might not be a supermodel but as long as we have a representative at the event, it will be fine."
"Okay, Grandpa! Let me handle that!" Andrew volunteered to do it.
Tristan just nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it's better if you are the one who will do it. Tristan might be in trouble again if another model will try to seduce her." Grandpa Lu said, his eyes gleaming with humor.
"Grandpa!!"
Andrew and Grandpa Lu burst out laughing once again.
******
Tristan and Andrew became busy for the whole day. But Tristan made sure to go home early because he missed Zhen-Zhen already.
Upon reaching the mansion, Tristan immediately looked for her and engulfed her in his arms. He found her in their room playing with FaMo and Pam-Pam.
"Tristan! You are back!" Zhen-Zhen hugged him back tightly.
Tristan's tiredness disappeared now because he was with Zhen-Zhen and he was hugging his beloved wife. Tristan couldn't help but shower her kisses all over her face. He didn't forget to give her a lingering kiss on her lips.
As if FaMo and Pam-Pam understood each other, the two of them left the room immediately, leaving Zhen-Zhen and Tristan. The two cats gave them their privacy.
After kissing each other, the two of them sat down on their bed.
"How's your day with the girls?" Tristan asked her. He knew that Alveena and Sophia came over to bond with his wife today.
"We had so much fun just talking with each other. Oh, Tristan, I have something to tell you. Good news! I wonder if Matthew had told you already."
Tristan frowned at the mention of Matthew's name. "Matthew didn't tell me anything. What is it?"
They had no chance to talk aside from work. They were so busy all day. Maybe Matthew also forgot to tell him.
"Matthew already confessed to Sophia! They are already dating!" Zhen-Zhen informed Tristan enthusiastically.
Tristan was dumbfounded for a moment. 'Oh my… I didn't expect that my best friend would be so fast. Just a few weeks ago he was still hesitating to court her.'
After he recovered from the shock, Tristan erupted into a peal of laughter.
"Matthew! That guy! I'm gonna tease him tomorrow."
"I'm so happy for both of them. At least, Sophia will be able to forget about Marcus. I wanted her to be happy and I know Matthew will do a great job in doing that," Zhen-Zhen said, smiling widely. She was really happy.
"I agree. Sophia deserves more. Marcus is not the guy for her. He is a jerk."
"Alveena is also in love. She's planning to confess with the guy she likes during the Centennial Year Celebration."
"Oh, the talkative assistant of my brother. Hmm... I wish her luck." Tristan said, caressing Zhen-Zhen's face. He was glad that Zhen-Zhen was having fun with her friends.
"How about you, Tristan? How's your day?"
Tristan sighed deeply. Tristan decided to tell Zhen-Zhen everything that happened in the company today including the issue with their supermodel. He also became honest with her as he told her about the seduction attempt by Angelique.
Zhen-Zhen fell silent for several seconds. Tristan thought she got mad but he was surprised when she had spoken something.
"Tristan… I wanna do it. Can I represent our company's product during the event and be the company's Model?"
