Reese’s heart turned cold like the chilling wind from the Antarctic.
She never expected that Lukas’s intention was purely physical, with no emotions involved.
Perhaps, when she initially proposed to register their marriage and make him her backup plan, she should have expected this.
Thinking about the recent events, Reese’s heart grew colder, but her mind became calmer.
Reese remained silent for a few seconds. Instead of getting up to drink water, she just turned over and lay down, stiffly occupying half of the big bed.
Lukas’s eyes flickered as he naturally pulled back the covers and lay on the other side.
The comforting scent beside him unknowingly lulled him to sleep.
A peaceful night’s rest.
The next morning, Lukas opened his eyes, still contentedly holding Reese in his arms.
Looking at the person in his arms, his expression was slightly unnatural.
Recalling last night’s events, he carefully let go of Reese and got out of bed to take a shower.
As soon as he closed the bathroom door, Reese opened her eyes.
She thought that the reason she hadn’t lost her temper yet was because although Lukas talked about marital obligations, he hadn’t really forced her to do anything during the nights they spent together.
She was curious to see what Lukas really wanted.
Reese got up and headed directly to the guest room’s bathroom. When she saw the familiar shampoo and shower gel there, her expression became somewhat awkward.
Could it be that Lukas used this?
After finishing her shower, Lukas had already left the master bedroom. Reese changed her clothes and
went to work.
As she passed through the living room, she saw Lukas having breakfast.
She walked straight towards the door, and Lukas’s eyes darkened, “Why don’t you have breakfast?”

When she returned, she had a triumphant smile on her face, with Ella following behind her.
She glanced provocatively at Reese and turned to Ella, saying with a smile, “Miss Rhodes, we’re almos finished discussing yesterday. You’ve seen my preliminary design sketches. Today, we can sign the private customization contract, right?”
Ella nodded, her tone soft but serious, “The jewelry I need for a senior’s banquet is crucial to me. The design must be perfect.”
Victoria assured, patting her chest, “Rest assured, my design will definitely satisfy you”
Just as Victoria finished speaking, the receptionist at the design department called out, “Designer Roberts, there’s someone downstairs who wants to see you.”
Reese raised an eyebrow, but she still got up and went downstairs.
Victoria snorted indifferently and said to Ella, “Miss Rhodes, let’s go to the meeting room.”
Ella nodded and followed Victoria to the meeting room.
At the same time, downstairs.
As soon as Reese descended the stairs, she saw Anthony in casual wear.
He still had yesterday’s scratches on his face, but it didn’t affect his elegant appearance.
Reese smiled and approached, “Mr. Rivers, why are you here?”
Anthony smiled back, “I didn’t disturb your work, did I?”

Reese shook her head and said, “No, Strakovski Jewelry mainly focuses on high–end private customization. I just started here, so I don’t have many clients yet.”
Anthony chuckled, “That’s perfect. Today, I’ve come to be your client.”
Reese was somewhat surprised, “Mr. Rivers, if you want to thank me for yesterday, there’s no need to force yourself to order jewelry from me.”
Anthony shook his head, “Where did you get that idea? It’s my mother’s fiftieth birthday in a few days, and I’ve been wanting to order a set of suitable jewelry for her. Since I haven’t found a designer yet, I
came to you.”
Reese felt flattered. She never expected that a small favor yesterday would lead Anthony to give her business today.
Seeing Reese’s stunned expression, Anthony couldn’t help but laugh, “Miss Roberts, are you planning to negotiate with me here?”
Reese immediately shook her head, “Mr. Rivers, please come this way. Let’s go upstairs.”
Anthony smiled and followed Reese into the elevator.
It was only now that Reese realized that Anthony had indeed come to commission a private order from
her.
She glanced at Anthony with a complicated expression, “Mr. Rivers, you’ve never seen my jewelry designs. To choose me directly like this, what if you end up disappointed?”
Anthony smiled warmly, “Where did you get that idea? I haven’t seen your designs, but I trust in your ability and character. I believe in you, and I trust that your designs will be perfect.”
Anthony’s words were like a booster shot for Reese.
She looked at Anthony earnestly, “Mr. Rivers, rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you.”
Anthony tilted his head to look at her and grinned, “I’m really looking forward to it.”
As Reese and Anthony entered the design department, in the meeting room, Victoria had already taken out the preliminary private customization contract and was about to sign it with Ella.
Just then, Ella abruptly stood up and placed the contract on the table.
She had a surprised and anxious expression, “Designer Williams, I’m sorry, I just saw someone I know.”
After saying that, Ella quickly walked out.
