My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 861

The Swordsman nodded. "I contacted them. They should be heading directly to the Sigur Cliff."

Boris smiled and nodded. "Let's go there now.”

Duncan summoned the captain of the bodyguards and instructed him to gather all the Duerson family's bodyguards. During this period, the number of the Duerson family's bodyguards had grown to a formidable 200, every one of them was at the Energy Cultivation Realm or grandmaster-level expert.

Seizing the moment, Duncan returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and absentmindedly opened a drawer, glancing at the Eight-Part Scepter inside.

He had sprinkled some flour on the package containing the Eight-Part Scepter. If someone had tampered with it, the flour would have spilled into the drawer. Duncan reached in and took out the package, giving it a shake. The flour was undisturbed.

At that moment, a maid placed a tray of tea on the coffee table. "Boss, have some tea!"

Duncan put down the package, closed the drawer, and asked, "Did Mireille come down?"

The maid nodded. "Yes, she did.”

"Did she behave strangely in any way?" Duncan asked again.

The maid quickly shook her head. "No, she just asked about how you usually treat your subordinates and such."

Duncan raised a brow. He looked at the maid coldly and asked, "How did you answer?"

The maid felt a chill run down her spine under the boss's intense gaze and stammered, "I said our boss treats us very well!"

Duncan smiled with satisfaction. "You don't have to be so afraid of me. As long as you do your job well and don't anger me, I won't mistreat anyone under my command." He was strict with his subordinates, so as to establish his authority among them. He wanted them to know his word was law.

Duncan took a sip of tea, stood up, and headed upstairs. In the bedroom, Mireille was lying on the bed, sleeping on her side. Duncan sat on the edge of the bed, his well-defined fingers gently caressing her fair face, eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Mireille, waking up with sleepy eyes, saw the man before her and flashed a sweet smile, "You're back."

Duncan was about to leave, but Mireille wrapped her arms around his neck and continued to kiss him.

After a while, Mireille blushed and said, "I want to go too!"

Duncan gently brushed Mireille's nose and said, "You're not feeling well. Rest well."

Mireille pouted. "I'm fine now. I even went downstairs and walked around just now."

Duncan also wanted to stay with Mireille, so he nodded and conceded, "Alright, but you have to promise me to stay in the car and not run around."

Joyfully, Mireille kissed Duncan on the cheek, then sat up from the bed.

Duncan crouched down to help Mireille put on her shoes. It was a heartwarming scene and Mireille even found herself a bit lost in thought. If he were not Duncan, perhaps he would have made a qualified boyfriend.
