"Fuck!" Lucius shouted as he threw a bottle at the wall.
Within minutes he went from poised CEO to an angry mess. Camilla and Benedict were shocked by his sudden change, but his sister Louisse seemed unfazed by the sudden change in his demeanor.
"It will still cost him." Camilla said as she walked over to her fake boyfriend.
She quickly wrapped her arms around him from behind and rested her head on his back.
"What do you mean?" Lucius asked as he slowly calmed down. "What do you mean it will cost him?"
"Don't you think Cedric would have worked with those big international companies if it were so easy?" Camilla asked as she walked back to her seat.
Quite intrigued by her words, Lucius followed her back as she sat back down and waved a waiter over to bring her a drink.
"Camilla, you better explain." Benedict said with a laugh as he pointed at Lucius who was waiting eagerly for Camilla to explain what both he and his sister had missed out.
"Patience, love." Camilla said with a wink as she thanked the waiter who had brought over her drink.
In all honesty she was enjoying seeing Lucius so unnerved, she was glad that her boss had done something to break Lucius Ting. She knew that this was an easy fix for Cedric, but it came at an unwanted cost for the businessman.

"Hmmm, less than an hour ago you thought I was some bimbo your brother decided to take on a date." Camilla said flatly in an unamused tone.
"Louisse, apologize." Lucius told his sister in a far friendly tone.
Benedict laughed at the hostile way Lucius was treating his sister, it was clear that he was willing to sacrifice even his family just to achieve his goal.
"Why should I?" Louisse asked her brother as she rolled her eyes at him. "I still don't like her. Something is off about Camilla, I just can't point it out."
"My sister is right here." Benedict pointed out to the woman. "You should at least respect us. We are after all your brother's largest investor." He reminded them, something that Lucius did not react to kindly.
"I can replace you at any moment." Lucius said as he glared at Benedict.
Lucius did not like being threatened, he liked control and he liked being the most powerful man in the room. Benedict knew that reminding Lucius that his company's financial lifeline was tethered to another person's whims would push him even further.
"You wouldn't dare." Camilla said as she glared at Lucius.
The man was so in love with Camilla that he frowned and bended to whatever she asked. So when she threatened him or seemed upset with him Lucius would do anything and everything to do as she asked.
"Camilla, I wouldn't." Lucius said with a frown when he had realized that his words had offended his girlfriend.
"You've become weak." Louisse said in a mocking tone as she watched her brother fall before a woman. "How will you get that revenge you crave so much if someone like this whore can take you down?" She said, infuriating Benedict even further.
"Say another word against my sister and you can kiss this country goodbye." Benedict threatened. He wasn't afraid to use the connections he had built through Cedric and his friends to send Louisse Ting away.
"Louisse, I said stop." Lucius said as he walked over and gripped his sister by the neck, strangling her.
He lifted off her seat and threw her to the ground.
Camilla and Benedict both flinched when they heard the sound of Loussie hitting the concrete floor of the bar. For a moment the siblings felt bad for Louisse, but what came out of her mouth next quickly washed away any pity they felt.
"I told you to fucking do as Aiden said! Help him kill that bastard and get your revenge!" Louisse shouted. "Now my boyfriend is fucking dead because of you and his worthless siblings!"
"Louisse!" Benedict warned, he knew what she was leading on to, it was something that he didn't want Camilla to hear.
"What?!" Louisse asked angrily. "Don't tell me you are still hurting because I was sleeping with you and your brother." Louisse said with a grin.
Benedict glanced at Camilla who was in shock, she never expected to hear that kind of news tonight.
"Camilla, I'll explain when we get home." Benedict told his sister in a sad tone, his shame clear with his expression.
"She tricked you?" Camilla asked Benedict.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'd rather talk about this at home." Benedict said as he asked his sister to drop the topic.
Camilla was not happy about his request and simply nodded, respecting her older brother's wishes.
"Get out!" Lucius shouted at his sister.
"Really? You want me, your own sister, to walk out of here all bloodied and bruised?" Louisse asked Lucius with a sly smile.
"Lucius, send her out through the backdoor. Send men to escort her to her hotel room." Benedict advised Lucius in a calm tone.
Lucius paused for a moment and considered Benedict's suggestion, he knew Benedict was right, he just refused to show that Benedict was smarter than him in this instance.
"Do as he said." Lucius told two of his bodyguards who walked up to Louissed and held her roughly by the arms.
"Don't you dare make your men drag me out like some piece of trash!" Louisse shouted as she struggled to get the bodyguards to let go of her.
Unfortunately for Louisse, they already had a good grip on her arms and didn't need to exert much effort in holding her.
"I warned you Louisse." Lucius told his sister. "And don't you dare step out of your hotel room, the last thing I need is your face all over social media or the news announcing you as a sexual predator."
"Lucius, she's still your sister." Camilla said as she was shocked by what Lucius had told his sister.
"It's a real danger, Camilla." Benedict told her. "I'll tell you everything later."
Camilla simply nodded and let Lucius deal with his sister.
