Light appeared in his eyes, as if he knew I had spare money to support him, and he started nodding to express his gratitude.
“Do you know why I sponsored you?”
Felix shook his head.
I said:
“Because I wanted to send you down there to serve as a slave for Luna.”
Surprise showed in his murky eyes, followed by horror.
He made a “woo woo” sound, begging for mercy.
I asked my secretary beside me: “In a family where the mother has died, the sister is in prison, and only a disabled brother is left, how would they survive?”
The secretary replied: “It’s summer now, he would probably die from flesh–eating maggots.”
I turned my head to look at Felix, smiling slightly: “I quite like this ending, do you?”
Without waiting for his answer, I put on my sunglasses and pushed open the door. As I was unwrapping a lollipop at the doorway, my secretary reported to me:
“We’ve acquired that factory you mentioned last time.”
The factory that made Luna’s favorite brand of lollipops was on the brink of bankruptcy recently.
Before they could even go through the procedures, I had already acquired it.
“As you said, we’ve updated the equipment and hired many disabled people, but the market department says the costs have increased. They want to know if you need to raise the price?”
1 folded the candy wrapper neatly and put it in my pocket: “No need, if the price goes up, she won’t be able to afford it.”
The secretary asked me: “Who is she?”
The lollipop rolled in my mouth, the taste of cheap sugar spreading.
I said:
“My best friend.”
