Chapter 65
Reese couldn’t quite fathom Lukas’s reaction, but she chose honesty. “Ava.”
Observing Reese’s unease around the two men, Anthony intervened with a timely inquiry. “Reese, who are these two?”
“This is the CEO of Strakovski Jewelry, Mr Strakovski, and the injured gentleman is his friend.” Reese glanced at Anthony and swiftly explained.
Upon hearing Reese’s introduction, Elias arched an eyebrow, and his gaze unconsciously shifted to Lukas. He wondered why Reese appeared unfamiliar with them, considering she and Lukas had already obtained their marriage certificate.
Reese paid no heed to Elias’s reaction and calmly introduced Anthony. “Mr Strakovski, Mr. Schmidt, this is the director of Rivers Health Medical Center, Director Rivers.”
Calm and collected, Lukas extended his hand toward Anthony. “Ah, Director Rivers, your name has reached my ears long before our meeting.”
Anthony shook hands with Lukas. “The same goes for you, Mr Strakovski. Your reputation obvious precedes mine.”
Their handshake was brief but impactful.
“If Director Rivers ever takes an interest in jewelry design, you’re welcome at Strakovski.” Lukas looked at Anthony squarely as he spoke.
Anthony responded with a smile, “I’ll keep that in mind. And naturally, if anyone from Mr Strakovski’s family requires medical treatment, they are welcome at Rivers Health Medical Center. I’ll ensure they receive the best care from our finest doctors.”
A flicker of amusement played on Reese’s lips. She sensed a depth to Anthony that went beyond his polished demeanor.
Lukas, however, chose not to respond to Anthony’s offer.
On the other hand, Elias displayed his discontent. “Is that how you talk to people? Wishing them to hurt and then come to the hospital for treatment?!”
Anthony gazed at Elias with minimal alteration in his expression. “Ah, my words were a tad clumsy. My apologies. What I intended was that life’s journey contains highs and lows, and certain circumstances are inescapable. Should someone find themselves in need of hospital care, I’d extend my assistance, especially when Miss Roberts graces us with her presence.”

Hearing Peer’s words, Lukas’s gaze shifted to her.
However, as Reese had her back turned to him, she couldn’t see Lukas’s expression.
Dukas didn’t anticipate that after he cautioned Reese, she would seemingly suppress the vivaciousness that was once so inherent to her.
She suddenly became polite and treated him like a superior in front of others.
Well, it was him who told her not to think overstep his boundaries, and he could accept her behavior.
But, he couldn’t help but wonder why he became her superior while Anthony became her friend.
And there was also a Director Hopkins from the company!
The more Lukas pondered, the darker his expression became.
Glancing at Ellas, Lukas spoke coldly, “I’m leaving. Don’t call me unless it’s urgent.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Reese, observing hierarchy, respectfully said, “Mr Strakovski, goodbye.”
Lukas’s steps hesitated for a moment, and he snorted coldly before striding off.

He didn’t expect to dislike Reese addressing him as “Mr Strakovski” with such deference. It felt like heavy sarcasm, making him in huge uncomfortable.
Elias was mentarily stunned, then quickly followed after Lukas. At the elevator, he caught up to him and tugged on Lukas’s arm. “You are really… angry?”
“Which of your eyes saw that I’m angry?” Lukas’s expression remained indifferent as he glanced at Elias.
“Don’t pretend. I know you too well. You’re not yourself right now.”
“You care so much about your reputation, and yet she got married to you and acted distant in front of Anthony. If you’re not happy about it, I’m not happy either. As husband and wife, your relationship should be closer than just friends. Can’t she even see that?”
