The rest of the dinner went on much lighter, Benedict and Cami asked Lucius about himself, and the more they spoke to him, the more they felt that he was truly a rtion of the Chan family.
When they ended the night, Cami and Benedict returned home. It was already way past midnight.??
"We should give Cedric a call." Cami reminded her brother as she walked over to her home office.
Benedict nodded and followed his sister silently into her office.
It didn''t take long for Cedric to pick up the call. Cami was shocked to see that Cedric was still in the office.
"Shouldn''t you be at home?" Cami asked with augh. "Adrianna will be pissed." She said, shaking her head.
"I''d rather not." Cedric said with a frown. Clearly he was avoiding something at Mountain View.
"Please send him home." Ianined in the background. "Nicole is furious with me. Tristan won''t go to sleep without me at home!"
"It''s not thatte." Cedric grumbled. "You have an update?" Cedric asked the siblings.
"Yeah," Cami said with a nod. "Dinner with Lucius Ting went well. We have a better grasp of his personality and his tendencies now."
"Cami thinks he''s hot." Benedict suddenly said with augh.
"What the fuck!" Cami shouted, hitting her brother on the shoulder. "I do not think he is hot." She said, crossing her arms across her chest.
"There is nothing wrong with thinking he is hot Cami." Ian said with augh as he stood behind Cedric. "I mean, he has the same genes as Eric and Miguel and a lot of women want to bed those two."
"Gross Ian!" Camiined. "They are your brother-inws, don''t tell me you fantasize about them!"
"Why would I need to fantasize about the men when I have the female version in bed with me everyday." Ian said with a smirk as Cami''s reaction turned from amused to disgusted.
"Okay, break it up you two, we need to talk about serious matters." Cedric said, rolling his eyes at his two former assistants. "But Cami, if you like Lucius, then I honestly don''t think it''s wrong. Just remember to make sure he is a good man to you."
"I''m not into Lucius!" Cami said angrily. "I like someone else okay!" Cami suddenly confessed not realizing what she had just said.
"What?!" Cedric said,ughing at Cami''s words.
Cami quickly covered her mouth when she realized what she just said.
"Cami, Cami, so many secrets." Ian teased, clicking his tongue. "Did you know about this Benedict?" Ian asked.
"Of course not." Benedict said, shaking his head. "If I knew anything about her liking someone else I wouldn''t have teased her so much about Lucius."
"So who is it Cami?" Cedric asked with a grin, this was much more interesting than talking about business and revenge.
"Oh shut up you three!" Cami said, rolling her eyes as she regained herposure.
"Well, I would like to meet this man." Benedict said as he looked at his sister in the eyes.
"You will, someday. I don''t know." Cami said, looking flustered all over again. "We''re sorting things out."
"Make sure to introduce us then." Ian said with a wink, to which Cami only responded with an awkward smile.
"Why don''t we go back to discussing Lucius Ting and Arch Group?" Cami suggested as she tried desperately to get the topic back on track.
"You''re right Cami." Cedric said with a nod as he smiled. "So what did you learn?"
"Well for one, the longer we spoke to him the more I felt like I was speaking to one of the Chans." Cami said with a shrug. "There are just too much simrities, yet at the same time there has never been any DNA proof that he is rted to them."
"So Aiden never pushed him to take a DNA test?" Cedric asked, rifying what Cami had just said.
"No, never." Cami said, shaking her head.
"I think our brother never asked for a DNA test to prove his rtion because the evidence was just too overwhelming." Benedict added. "His age, where he was adopted, even who gave him up for adoption to the convent. It''s just too simr to the missing Chan cousin."
"Still." Cedric said as he scratched his chin. "I want DNA confirmation. I know there is no way now, but maybe we can push him to take a DNA test."
"It''s possible, I''m not sure if he truly wants to harm the Chan family, I feel like my brother was just using him as a puppet." Benedict said as he thought of how Lucius behaved during their dinner.
"He is mad, yes." Cami said with a nod. "He also just found out about the circumstances of Uncle Miguel''s death."
"You told him?" Cedric asked.
"Yes." Cami admitted.
"It''s fine." Cedric said as he considered the repercussions. "It''s best if he knows as early as now rather thanter. At least he cannot say you hid the truth from him. What about his rtionship with Aiden?"
"Aiden was just his mentor and advisor, they were friends, but that was it." Benedict said with a shrug. "I''m hoping we could take that ce. It will be easier to dissuade him from doing anything illegal or dangerous."
"If he is merely trying to better hispany, I find no issue with it." Cedric said in a calm tone. "But the moment he begins to use underhanded strategies, I will not hesitate to make a move."
"At the moment, he seems to want to go through the proper path and challenge Mor Co. as the industry leader in the country." Benedict added.
"He seems like he could be a good guy." Cami said as she leaned back on her seat. "But people can be deceiving."
"Let''s just keep an eye out for him." Cedric said with a nod. "Any news if he will be attending both the Gizmo Awards and the Charity Event after?"
"Yes, he said he will. We didn''t need to encourage him." Cami informed Cedric.
"Good, then I''ll talk to him then. For the meantime, I need to go woo my angry wife." Cedric said with a sigh as he shook his head. "Go get some rest. I hope this charade can end soon."
With that Cedric ended the call.
