Luis set out the bowls and chopsticks, then opened all the takeout containers and disposed of the bags in one smooth motion.
"Forget the beer, I don't want to get up in the middle of the night. And wow, so many good dishes!!!"
Elara chuckled. She then ordered, "Go wash two glasses. There's an ice tray in the middle of the freezer. Get some ice, you're having a proper drink with me tonight."
Luis went to the kitchen. They were the standard stemmed glasses. Following her instructions, he put some ice in them and came back.
Elara smiled and added, "There's an open bottle of Rémy Martin in my liquor cabinet. Go grab it!!!"
Luis played the attentive servant, bringing it over and pouring it without needing to be told. He was nothing if not thorough.
Elara was clearly pleased. She giggled, "It feels so good to boss around a little brother. They say a brother is a sister's natural servant, now I finally get to experience it."
Among all her cousins, the younger ones had all been girls. Having a little brother suddenly appear was a novel thrill for her.
Just like how the adorable, big-chested little girl Leah was doted on by everyone, anyone would cherish her.
But at the bottom of the food chain at home, between the tigress mother-in-law and the fierce sister who would really go for the kill when fighting with her younger siblings, and even though their second sister Lily had a good temper, she still scolded and bossed her around, Luis could totally understand this kind of joy.
"Of course. Serving Third Sister is my sacred duty."
"This is a job no one else can do as well as me."
Luis played along. Elara laughed even harder, raising her glass to clink with his. "Good boy. But just call me Sis or Big Sis. The 'third' thing sounds a bit weird these days."
"Got it, Big Sis!"
Luis agreed obediently, clinked glasses, took a sip, and then started eating.
When they'd eaten enough to at least curb the hunger, he looked at the empty bottles on the floor, thought about the fridge full of beer, and the liquor cabinet packed with all sorts of baijiu and imported spirits.
Luis couldn't help but ask curiously, "Big Sis, your place is practically empty, but why do you have so much alcohol?"
Elara Ye had completely shed her dignified public image, raising her glass casually and saying, "I'll be straight with you, but you're not allowed to tattle."
"Your big sister here went to school in the Northeast, and I started drinking with classmates back then."
"After I started working, the pressure was immense. Socializing was one thing, but the main issue was severe insomnia. Drinking helps me sleep like a baby."
"In just a few years, I can't fall asleep without a drink. I know I've developed a dependency."
"But that's fine, a few drinks really does make me feel better. When I'm working late, watching shows, or scrolling on my phone, I like to have a glass."
"But I don't like going to bars or KTVs. Drinking alone at home while playing games is nice too. If I get hungry, I just go downstairs and have a drink by myself, it's very freeing."
Luis chuckled and said, "You sure know how to live it up."
"Damn right. Little Bin Bin, fill up your big sister's glass."
Elara had finished her glass of brandy and immediately started teasing Luis again.
She seemed to have quite the tolerance. She poured another round and didn't wipe her lips until she'd eaten her fill.
The ashtray and her women's cigarettes had already been placed within reach. Elara looked surprised for a moment, then joked, "Little brother, if you were a eunuch, back in ancient times you'd definitely be the emperor's top confidant, second only to him."
"No need for castration. Your little brother here is quite the lecher, can't give that up."
Luis was pushing the boundaries a bit for the first time.
They both lit up cigarettes. Elara then said thoughtfully, "Little brother, I'm going to be serious with you now!"
"Go ahead!"
Luis's demeanor turned serious as well.
Elara gently swirled her glass, took another sip, and then said, "Third Uncle said to have you as my driver. I trust you completely, but I don't think it's necessary, and it's a bit of a waste."
"Big Sis, what do you have in mind?"
Luis obediently asked as he quietly refilled her glass.
Elara narrowed her eyes and said softly, "First, I don't think it's necessary. Let me be direct with you, it's not that I think being my driver is beneath you."
"It's just that I think a fresh face like yours is more useful elsewhere. Appearing openly is an unnecessary waste."
"Right now, the people in my circle are all recognizable. Everyone pretty much knows each other's faces by now."
"Even when your brother-in-law sends people over for work, the ones to watch out for are already known to Xeno's side."
"How long they were quietly in contact with my driver without me knowing is what bothers me most right now."
"Likewise, now that the driver has been caught and the alarm has been raised, they definitely won't go after the new driver."
She didn't need to spell it out, a new driver, even if trusted, wouldn't have access to any useful intelligence.
Elara took a drag of her cigarette, blew out a ring of smoke, and said slowly, "Third Uncle's thinking is right. In this situation, you being my driver won't cause any waves or surprises."
"But it's not very effective. It's certainly safe in that regard, we trust you completely."
"But for Xeno's side, even if your connection to me is distant and they can't find anything suspicious, it doesn't matter."
"Now that they've been spooked once, they won't try to get to you."
"Besides, you're new here and don't know the ins and outs of my situation. There's no point in them bribing you."
Elara clinked glasses with Luis again and said in a steady voice, "I know what Third Uncle means. He just wants to give you some experience and make sure you don't have any security concerns."
"Honestly, I think Third Uncle is overthinking it. You're not some naive rookie who needs to be sheltered."
Elara blinked her beautiful eyes playfully and said with a light smile, "So from my perspective, little brother, your fresh face is what's most valuable."
Luis clinked glasses with her and said solemnly, "Big Sis, just tell me what you need me to do."
They added each other on WhatsApp, and she sent him a few photos, some candid shots and some official ID photos.
The photos showed a man in his early forties, slightly thin, with a receding hairline and glasses that gave him a somewhat scholarly air.
Elara said, "That's Xeno. What I need you to do is simple."
"There's only a week left before the decision. During this time, we'll all stay restrained at work and avoid any underhanded moves that might leave evidence."
"Your task is to follow him after work and see who he meets besides going home."
Luis narrowed his eyes and said, "Big Sis, you suspect there's still one of his people in your team."
Elara nodded and smiled, "See, that's why I say you're smart, you hit the nail on the head."
"Understood. Big Sis, don't worry. I'll take care of this guy for you."
Luis said casually, "Catching the mole is one thing, but the main goal is to make sure he can't compete with you, right."
"Smart!!"
Elara sighed, "Too bad it's all just open and covert struggles. The higher-ups are watching, so we can't fight too fiercely and disrupt the station's operations."
They drank until ten, finishing off a whole bottle of brandy.
Elara was a bit tipsy. She swayed back to her room and pointed to the large bedroom nearby, saying, "The housekeeper put fresh things in there for you. Just make do here at your big sister's place."
With that, she gracefully closed the door. Luis didn't have time to unpack.
He pulled the curtains in the unfamiliar room, turned on the AC, and quickly pulled out his phone to open TikTok's following page.
Today, the three campus beauties had posted quite a few new short videos. He liked each one one by one, then invested ten thousand in promotional boosts for each main account and five thousand for the smaller ones.
When he opened the livestream interface, his stunning sister-in-law Nancy was on, wearing a sexy camisole nightgown. The background was surprisingly her own room in the villa.
The viewer count was only in the dozens, pretty dead, with at least ten being plants, but the comments were lively.
"Guys, this doesn't look filtered, look at the walls and everything... they're normal..."
"Holy shit, is that for real?"
"For real. When the camera moves, you can tell at a glance if any filter's been applied."
"Boss Lady is so pretty. Are you really into women? Are you a T or an S?"
"Big Sis is so sexy, she might not attract men, but she definitely attracts women. When do you go to bars? I want to run into you."
