Chapter 8: Getting $1 Million Bonus

"Hello, it's nice to finally meet you, Sir Treyton. Can you please stop calling me by such a nickname?" Luciel said while looking at the man, who was also looking at him with a smile.

"Ok, then what do you want me to call you?"

"Sir Treyton, you can just call me by my name," Luciel said while walking towards the sofa where Treyton was sitting.

"That would make us too unfamiliar with each other," Treyton said while frowning a bit.

"Sir Treyton, we are indeed unfamiliar with each other," Luciel clarified. This was only their first meeting, so of course they were still unfamiliar with each other.

"Ok, then let's get to know each other from now on. I'm Treyton Levine; you can just call my name; there's no need to add sir or anything," Treyton said while pulling Luciel, who was standing in front of him, to his lap.

"I'm Luciel Scarlet; can you let me sit down properly?" Luciel said while looking at Treyton, who let him sit on his lap sideways and hugged him.

"Sorry, but no. I've been tired for the past few days, I need a bit of comfort," Treyton said while still hugging him in his arms.

"What's the connection?" Luciel doesn't think that hugging him in his arms can give some comfort.

"Of course it does; hugging you in my arms is very comfortable," Treyton said while laughing a bit.

"Are you sure you won't be uncomfortable? I think your wound is still bleeding," Luciel said while looking at Treyton.

As soon as he got near Treyton, he could already smell blood. So, he was a bit impressed by Treyton because he could still act like a rascal even though he was injured.

"Don't worry, it's just a small injury, but how do you know I'm injured?" Treyton said while still smiling slightly.

He was smiling, but he could see that there was no joy in Treyton's eyes; instead, they were seriously looking at him with even a bit of danger.

Luciel disregarded the danger he saw and said, "I don't have anosmia; I can smell it. You should treat your wound or call your doctor; the smell of blood is getting stronger."

"My doctor would only be coming tomorrow morning to check on you."

"I see. I won't be in any danger, right?"

It seemed that Treyton didn't want to let anyone know that he was injured; that's why he directly went to his place and wanted to use him as a cover to invite his personal doctor later on.

"Don't worry; no one will pay attention to you. As long as you stay quiet and cooperate with me, there won't be any danger," Treyton said while smiling.

"That's good," Luciel said in relief. He still has some confidence that he could properly defend himself if some people wanted to harm him, but he just wanted to have a leisure life, so he doesn't want to be involved in any dangerous situations.

"I can surely stay quiet and cooperate with you; however, there was no such statement in the contract. Will I receive a bonus after cooperating with you?" Luciel said seriously.

"Ha ha ha. Ok, I'll give you $1 million as a bonus. Satisfied?" Treyton asked while still laughing a bit.

"Very satisfied; with such a huge bonus, I can even give you a bit of treatment," Luciel said while smiling happily.

He knew that he would still need to cooperate with Treyton, whether he wanted it or not, if he didn't want to complicate his life. Now that he would be receiving $1 million for it, he doesn't have any misgivings anymore.

"Then, let's go to my room. You can treat me there," Treyton said.

"Ok, by the way, where is Nina?" Luciel asked while going upstairs, as he still hadn't seen Nina.

"She went to buy some pork ribs. I told her I wanted to eat some, so she went outside."

"Pork ribs are indeed delicious."

Treyton opened his room, and both of them went in. Luciel saw that the room was a bit bigger than his room, but the layout and design were almost the same.

"Where's your medical kit?"

"It is in that cabinet," Treyton said while pointing at the cabinet on the right side of the bed.

Luciel opened the cabinet and saw a complete medical kit in it.

"Why aren't you taking your clothes off?" Luciel asked as he saw Treyton just sitting on the sofa.

"Why don't you help me take them off? I'm injured, you know," Treyton requested while still smiling a bit.

Luciel just raised a brow but still complied with doing it. With his $1 million bonus, it wasn't really a difficult request.

He removed Treyton's blazers and saw that his white shirt was already soaked with blood. It just wasn't noticeable when he was wearing blazers because he was still wearing arm guards. He removed his shirt and armguards and saw that it was a gunshot wound.

"I didn't know big bosses like you were in such dangerous situations. You aren't doing anything illegal, are you?"

Treyton was involved in the entertainment industry and other commercial businesses. Even though there might be rivalry with others, it should be so serious for them to kill each other. He also knew that Treyton had a lot of bodyguards, but he hadn't seen any of them with him today.

"Don't worry, I am not involved in anything illegal. Why are you going to report me?" Treyton asked teasingly.

"Of course, I will report you. That's why you better be telling the truth. It would be a pity to report," Luciel said while preparing the things he needed to treat Treyton's wound.

"Did you fall for me already?" Treyton asked cheekily with a wide smile on his lips.

Luciel rolled his eyes at Treyton and said, "Of course not. I just think it's a pity that I won't be getting any allowance from you anymore."
