Chapter 22 Taking Measurement
Cherry glanced at Lucas a few times before politely gesturing, “Mr. Campbell, please follow me.”
Lucas nodded and grinned at Celine, saying, “Sweetheart, I’m heading out now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Celine shot him a murderous glare, glaring daggers at him.
Feeling guilty, Lucas instinctively shrank his neck and hurried out the door.
Cherry’s mouth fell open in shock as she stared at Lucas.
She couldn’t have heard him right. This man actually called Celine “Sweetheart“?
Celine was infamous for being the cold CEO of Demonia, known for her cold attitude toward men. Countless suitors had tried and failed to win her heart.
Now, here was a man casually addressing her as sweetheart!
Noticing Cherry’s shock, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across Celine’s stunning face. She snapped, “Don’t listen to his nonsense; his mouth just doesn’t filter!”
“Oh, okay.” Cherry replied, nodding and quickly deciding not to press the issue.
She hurried out of the CEO’s office.
Although it was called a storage room, there weren’t many messy things inside.
As the saying goes, teamwork makes the task easier. With Lucas’s help, Cherry quickly organized the space.
“Mr. Campbell, thank you for your hard work.”
Cherry felt that it was her job, yet Lucas had been far more efficient than she was, doing most of the work, so she expressed her gratitude.
“It was no trouble at all. Helping a beautiful woman is my pleasure.”
Lucas grinned and, noticing Cherry’s lovely face, asked, “What’s your name, lovely?”
I’m Cherry James,” she replied with a smile.
“Cherry, what a nice name! It sounds delicious. Lucas laughed, commenting playfully.
Cherry was caught off guard by Lucas’s unusual way of speaking, her cheeks instantly turning pink.
Delicious? Is he flirting with me?
She realized why Celine had said he had no filter.
“Mr. Campbell, why don’t you take a break? I’ll go get you a work uniform, Cherry suggested.
For some reason, she felt a bif uncomfortable being around him.
His gaze seemed to wander over her too often, making her cheeks flush and her heart race. If it weren’t for his decent looks, she might have slapped him by now.

Actually, Lucas was handsome–not in a pretty–boy way, but with a rugged masculine charm that was hard to ignore.
Combined with the playful charm that often flickered across his face, his appeal to women was undeniably
strong.
“Don’t rush it. Cherry. Do you know what size I wear? Do you know my waist size and leg length? If the clothes you prepared were not suitable, what a waste it would be. Or, can you measure me? Lucas suggested, playfully stopping Cherry.
Faced with his questions, Cherry couldn’t argue and nodded, pulling out a measuring tape to take his
measurements.
As she did, her heart raced even more.
Lucas’s physique was astonishingly perfect..
He stood over six feet tall, with a muscular chest and broad shoulders, and his abdomen had no hint of excess fat.
Whenever Cherry accidentally brushed against him, she could feel the strength and power of his muscles through his clothes, leaving her feeling lightheaded from his intense masculine energy.
Suddenly, the door to the storage room swung open, startling Cherry.
A tall man in a security uniform rushed in, and upon seeing the scene, his expression darkened, a flash of hostility crossing his face.
“Ah! Knox, is there something you need?” Cherry asked, a bit flustered.
“I heard that you’re organizing this place, so I came to see if I could help. Knox said, masking his irritation with a smile.
He then asked, “You guys…
“Oh, Cherry is just helping me get a work uniform ready by taking my measurements. Is there a problem?” Lucas interjected, raising an eyebrow, feeling it was time for a man to step in and speak up.
Lucas quickly noticed the hostility in Knox’s eyes as he entered.
What caught his attention even more was that something seemed off about Knox.
As Knox Watts moved within six feet from him, Lucas felt his black wristwatch vibrate.
“Who are you, kid? It’s just a work uniform. What does it matter if it’s a bit big or small? You even need Cherry to measure the size for you, are you being paid well?” Knox snapped, his tone laced with sarcasm.
“Oh? Are you jealous? Lucas replied, stepping closer to Knox and casually draping an arm over his shoulder with a smile.
