"Oh, you realized?" Heather snorted and did not even bother to glance at them. She stared at the wine in her glass. "You failed to take down a declining Lodge family and even returned injured. If you know your mistake, you should pay it with your life."
Shivers ran through their veins. "We beg you! Please spare our lives!"
"Enough!" She put down her glass of wine heavily. "If I want to punish you, you will not live today! Your lives are still useful for me to complete some tasks!"
She then commanded, "Get up!"
After carefully looking at her to ensure it was not irony, the two stood up.
Who would have thought that the famous and intimidating Light-Shadow Killers would be so humble in front of a woman?
"I have a task for you. You’ll sneak into the Russell family mansion and find something for me tonight," she said unhurriedly.
"Master, I thought it wasn’t there?" One of them could not help asking.
"Just listen to my order. Do I need you to remind me whether it is there?" Heather said coldly, "Do not disturb anyone. Make sure to be back by dawn!"
"Noted!"
The two followed the order and blended into the night.
...
"Guest list?" Alexander looked at the paper in front of him as he wiped his wet hair and raised his eyebrows. "Didn’t I tell you it is up to you to decide?"
"I showed it to you before, but I made some changes, so I want you to see it again." Lily tilted her head and spoke.
"No need. If you are fine with it, I’m fine too!" Tossing away the wet towel, he sat behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and felt her softness.
