The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Take... who exactly?

[Summit Partners: Chairman’s Office]

"I asked for Yuri, Allen," Atlas said, leaning back in his swivel chair and staring at Allen across the desk. His frosty eyes then drifted to the woman seated on the guest couch in the office.

"I didn’t ask for her."

Allen sighed, knowing this would happen when he returned to Novera without the person Atlas had requested.

"I did my best, sir," Allen mentally winced, imagining Atlas’s thought that his "best" was pathetic. "But Yuri was hiding somewhere. I think she had a premonition that I was coming to get her."

Atlas’s face darkened, causing Allen to avoid his gaze. Just then, the woman chuckled.

"Do you hate me so much that you have to scold Allen like that?" the woman quipped, pushing herself up from the couch since the person she came for didn’t bother to.

She strolled toward the desk, leaning against it. "Atlas, I’m here because there are so many things we need to talk about," she hummed. "More important than me overseeing the security operations of the Order."

"I don’t hate you," Atlas casually gave her a brief look. "But it does bother me when you think my actions have anything to do with you."

The woman’s smile stiffened slightly, but she didn’t let it show.

"I gave an order, and it wasn’t delivered," he added flatly. "I don’t like it."

"Sir, Yuri did leave a note for me, though," Allen said, pulling out a crumpled paper, which he folded and tried to straighten. "Here it is."

Without a word, Atlas took it. The note read:

[I think you might need me. Before that, let me just sleep first. I’ll come when I wake up.]

As he read the short letter, Allen and the woman studied his expressionless face. The note was short, but somehow, Atlas was reading it longer than he should have been.

"What horrible handwriting," he muttered, though he didn’t look as displeased anymore.

Allen could only heave a sigh of relief. This was the reason he came back, even without the person Atlas trusted so deeply. It was just that Yuri was quite... strange, even though she was the only person—aside from Allen—who could keep up with Atlas’s way of life and work.

Atlas lifted his eyes to Allen and then to the woman. Since he already knew that Yuri needed some time to "re-spawn," he just let her be for now. When his eyes landed on the woman, Atlas placed his hands on the armrest and pushed himself up.

Once standing, he glanced at the woman and then at Allen before walking to a stand in the corner.

"Report," he said as he made his own coffee. With his eyes down, their corners sharpened as he uttered quietly, "Who’s been testing the water, Scarlet?"

Pew!
