Rover pulled Lucian up, hooked his arm and said fiercely: "If you don't explain clearly today, don't think about getting into bed!"
Lucian, who had finally recovered, looked serious upon hearing this. He didn't want to not get into bed.
"Rover, compared to them, you have ten advantages!"
"Ten advantages? Which ten?" Rover's eyes lit up. Indeed, threats are the best method. Isn't he about to praise me?
Lucian cleared his throat lightly: "You are by my side, they are not, this is the first advantage!"
Rover: "?"
"You have one advantage, they don't, this is the second advantage!" Only to hear Lucian continue: "You have two advantages, they don't, this is the third advantage!..."
Rover: "???"
Carlotta really couldn't hold back, bursting out with a laugh. So this counts as ten advantages?
Seeing Rover's unhappy face, Carlotta quickly straightened up and stopped the laughter: "Sorry..."
"I've received professional training, generally I won't laugh under normal circumstances, unless I can't help it."
Rover's face was full of anger: "Three days without a beating, and you're climbing on the roof to remove tiles. Looking for a fight!"
With that, Rover's pink fist came straight towards Lucian's face.
Lucian was startled, quickly dodging to the side, he suddenly did a carp jump, leaping up from the sofa, hiding behind Carlotta.
"Second Miss, as a distinguished guest of the Montelli family, you wouldn't stand by and watch me die, right?"
Carlotta glanced at the indifferent Rover, then smiled awkwardly: "But both of you are distinguished guests... And this is your family matter, how can an outsider like me interfere?"
Lucian had a flash of inspiration: "Then if you join this family, you can interfere, right?"
Carlotta: "?"
Rover: "?"
"You sly Lucian, showing your fox tail, huh?"
Rover said and without regard for Carlotta hiding in front of Lucian, pounced fiercely.
Carlotta quickly dodged upon seeing this. It seems that saying is true, women in love are the scariest.
Behind her, as expected, Lucian was pounced on by Rover, pressed to the ground and hammered violently.
Of course, Carlotta didn't think it was because Lucian couldn't beat Rover; it was completely because their relationship was too deep, so Lucian didn't fight back at all.
At this moment, hearing a crisp sound of high heels getting closer, she was carrying a black briefcase in her hand, looking at the playful duo stunned in place.
"Am I coming at a bad time?"
"...Is there a seat?"
The dying Lucian whimpered: "No seat."
Zani: "..."
...
Zani carefully placed the briefcase on the table, glanced at Rover who was holding her arms and crossing her legs, as well as Lucian beside her massaging her.
"...I seem to have missed something exciting."
Carlotta smiled with her lips: "It was quite exciting, too bad I didn't record it, otherwise the deeds of the God of Universal Love could add another example."
Zani pushed the briefcase towards Carlotta: "The things you entrusted me with are all done, Miss Carlotta."
"This is the 'jewelry set' and 'perfume' you wanted."
Rover asked puzzled: "Jewelry set? Perfume?"
With a 'click', the lock of the briefcase was opened, Carlotta flipped the briefcase open, and everyone saw the mystery inside.
That wasn't any jewelry set, nor any perfume.
But a red thing similar to a small robot, a bit like the robot Patty that Xiangli Yao had back then, but its size wasn't as big as Patty's.
"In the family's code, 'jewelry set' refers to this cute little thing."
"I can use it to create crystals, covering the monitors in the vault, making them temporarily malfunction."
Rover exclaimed: "It seems the Montelli family is really not simple, even having such codes."
Carlotta leaned back in the chair explaining: "In the intricate Ragunna City, the family naturally isn't as glamorous as it appears on the surface."
"There are always some troubles unknown to others, and the family naturally has corresponding members to solve these troubles."
"Besides the codes for these items, these members hidden in the darkness have corresponding code names to distinguish them."
Lucian curiously: "Do you have a code name?"
Carlotta smiled lightly: "Of course. But I can't tell you now."
"When you become someone I truly trust, you'll know naturally."
Lucian: "You don't trust me? But I trust you very much, for this, I can even tell you my code name."
Carlotta covered her mouth and smiled: "It's my honor to be trusted by the God of Universal Love, so, what's your code name?"
Lucian snorted coldly: "Humbly, I am the famous Black Shores guest elder plus Jinzhou dual senior intelligence officer—Pangolin!"
Rover said expressionlessly: "That's very undercover."
Carlotta pondered: "...Pangolin?"
"So that's how code names are given in other regions? Named after animals?"
Zani thought for a moment: "Naming code names after animals..."
"If it were me, what should I be called?"
Lucian chuckled: "As a worker, of course 'Ox-Horse'."
Zani sighed: "That makes sense."
Carlotta pondered upon hearing: "Zani, is it that I gave too few holidays?"
"I suddenly noticed your dark circles seem to have worsened some more."
Zani drooped her head: "Thank you for your concern, Second Miss."
"Actually, the holidays aren't few, just the work is a bit much, making me a bit overwhelmed."
Carlotta: "Hmm... I see, after this matter is over, I'll give you a few more days off."
"As for the things in work..."
"As the most outstanding employee of the Montelli family, it's normal for you to be busier with work."
"But rest assured, in the future I'll consider giving you more holidays."
Zani's elbow propped on the table, palm holding her cheek, weakly: "Thanks..."
Lucian clapped in amazement: "This is completely painting a big pie!"
"Zani, I advise you to wake up."
Zani cupped her fists: "Thanks for the reminder, distinguished guest, but I'm very awake, knowing how difficult it is to increase holidays, so I didn't mind."
"There's a saying on the Pioneer Association forum: Don't presume to expect, don't presume to be disappointed. I always keep it in mind."
Carlotta smiled lightly: "Zani, I am the Second Miss of the Montelli family."
"What, you don't even believe my words?"
Lucian shook his head slightly: "Higher officials crush people, Zani, don't submit to Carlotta's tyranny."
"Rather than expecting Carlotta to increase your holidays for you,"
"Why not come to my side, we can do together what we love to do, then you can steadily take maternity leave."
Carlotta& Rover& Zani: "?"
