You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 215

Madeline shook her head, but just as she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," she called out.

The door opened to reveal a beautiful young lady standing there.

"Leigh, you're back!" Madeline's eyes lit up at the sight of the girl, and she rose to walk over to the door to greet her.

Leigh Shefford was one of the only two girls who worked for Madeline. Each member in Madeline's team of ten had their own skill set, and Leigh's happened to be her medical prowess. She was a doctor and secretly a medical prodigy with quite an impressive portfolio.

A while ago, someone engaged her for the treatment of a scion from Oaksbury. She had called Madeline yesterday to inform her that she would return now that the job was done, but the latter hadn't expected her to arrive so soon.

Presently, Leigh was beaming as she walked through the door and gave Madeline a tight hug in greeting.

Luke sat on the couch in the same manner as one imagined an invertebrate might and pursed his lips unhappily while narrowing his eyes when he saw the two girls hugging. He hated when others got too close to Madeline, but seeing as he knew Leigh, he decided to brush this incident off, albeit begrudgingly.

After all, Leigh did not know Madeline for as long as he had, and their bond was not quite as deep, either. That said, the only thing she had going for her was her gender. Where Luke could only settle for just dining with Madeline, Leigh could do all the girly things with her like bunking in together and using the same restroom.

For that, Luke had to admit he was jealous of Leigh.

Meanwhile, Leigh kept in touch with Madeline regularly despite being away on business, and she was told of Luke and Logan visiting town. As such, she wasn't all that surprised to see the younger Adams brother sitting in Madeline's office right now. Smiling, she greeted, "Hey, Luke."

Luke hummed lazily in response, not at all enthusiastic or friendly.


Leigh thought this was expected behavior on his part and didn't mind his indifference in the slightest.

Following this, Madeline led Leigh by the hand to the couch. They caught each other up on all the recent happenings in their lives, and the conversation seemed endless.

While they were talking, Luke listened in disinterest as he remained sprawled on the couch, interjecting whenever he caught something interesting. Though he was interjecting, in reality, he was merely offering unnecessarily scathing input that nobody asked for.

However, Leigh and Madeline went on talking in spite of his ruthless commentary. The former, in particular, was dumbfounded by how persistent he was, but she pretended as if he never spoke, knowing that he was infuriating on purpose.

Madeline, on the other hand, would turn and shoot him a dark glare when she felt he had crossed the line with his words, but he seemed to take this as a triumph instead of feeling ashamed about it. In fact, he even looked pleased. He was so exasperating that it was a miracle he had gone this long without suffering a well-deserved beating from anyone.
Madeline shook her head, but just as she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," she called out.

Just like that, she and Leigh continued to ignore Luke throughout the conversation. He was like a petulant child whenever he was around Madeline, and the more attention you paid him, the rowdier he got. The best solution was to turn a blind eye to his existence entirely, and it wasn't so much about discouraging him from butting in as it was about preserving Madeline's sanity.

The conversation took an interesting turn when each woman started taking out their phones to show the other pictures they had taken.

Leigh was showing off her latest client's before-and-after pictures. "Take a look, Maddie. What do you think? Pretty good job, huh?"

Madeline assessed the young man in the picture and approved, "Indeed."

Leigh's client this time was a scion named Gabriel Vanderbilt. The photo had captured his delicately-chiseled features and innate elegance. In other words, it wasn't hard to tell that he was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was handsome too and his fine looks rivaled those of any A-list celebrities.

Bumping her shoulder against Leigh's playfully, Madeline asked, "Come on, spill the beans. Did anything naughty happen between you and Young Master Vanderbilt while you were staying with him for a whole month?"

"Nothing happened between us at all, much less anything naughty," Leigh answered with a laugh. "Besides, his family is so messed up. I'd have to be out of my mind to sign up for that wild ride."

"That's true," Madeline said with a sigh. "Prolific families like the Vanderbilts are always polished on the outside but rotten within."

Whatever went down at the Vanderbilts' had been reported back to Madeline.

Gabriel had fallen sick some time ago. He had been particularly susceptible to illnesses since he was a baby, but his condition worsened after his own sister began to poison him bit by bit.

He had a close friend, Oliver Sinclair, whom his sister, Samantha Vanderbilt, had a crush on.

However, her affections were never reciprocated by Oliver, and he avoided her just to keep her from misreading his intentions. While he did not return Samantha's feelings, he was the best of friends with Gabriel, and he would often stay at the Vanderbilts' place whenever the latter got sick.
