“Mr. Campbell, you’re indeed shameless! No wonder Ms. Xavier says you always talk nonsense. She was right.”

Seeing her flustered expression, Lucas chuckled. “Cherry, if you understand what I mean, then you’re not as innocent as you claim to be.”

“You…” Cherry’s face turned bright red at his teasing, both annoyed and embarrassed.

Lucas decided to ease up on her. “Relax, I was just joking. No need to get upset. So, what brings you here?”

She pouted slightly. “I’m not upset.”

Then, after a brief hesitation, she added, “I just wanted to say

Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Thank me? For what?”

Did she appreciate his flirting? Was she hinting at something?

thank you.”

“For exposing Knox yesterday. You know that. I’m responsible for preparing Ms. Xavier’s outfits,” Cherry said gratefully.

With Knox out of the picture, she wouldn’t have to deal with his harassment anymore.

“Oh, that? It was nothing. I only did it to ensure Ms. Xavier’s safety. She’s my boss, after all.” Lucas waved off her gratitude as if it were no big deal.

“Still, I appreciate it. How about I treat you to a meal as thanks?” Cherry offered sincerely.

“No need for that,” Lucas replied with a smirk. “Honestly, I’m getting bored sitting around here all day. If you ever have free time, why not drop by and chat with me instead?”

Having a cute and lively secretary to talk to would certainly make things more interesting.

Cherry hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright, sure.”

Just as her blush had faded, her face turned red again. Then, like a startled rabbit, she hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

Lucas watched her retreat with amusement. “She’s so easy to tease.”

But just as Cherry had left, she rushed back in, her face still flushed.

“I almost forgot! Ms. Xavier wants you to go downstairs and get the car ready!”

Flustered from their conversation, she had nearly forgotten the reason she came in the first place.

Following her instructions, Lucas made his way to the parking lot and waited. Over 30 minutes later, he finally saw Celine emerging from the building.

Since she was heading to a business negotiation, she had dressed in a sharp, professional outfit. Her tailored suit exuded confidence and authority.

Even with a somewhat neutral style, it did nothing to hide her striking figure–it only enhanced her allure.

Lucas clicked his tongue. Some said that clothes made the person, but in Celine’s case, it felt like the opposite.

Any outfit she wore seemed to take on a new level of sophistication just because it was on her.

“D*mn, she took her sweet time. Is she doing this on purpose?” he muttered under his breath, feeling irritated after waiting so long.

“What did you just say?” Celine raised an eyebrow, her sharp gaze locking onto him.

Lucas pouted. “Nothing, just that you look stunning.”

“That has nothing to do with you,” she replied expressionlessly.

Seeing her cold and arrogant demeanor, Lucas felt a twinge of awkwardness but still pulled the car door open for her. However, deep inside, he made a silent promise–one day, he’d win her over and make her acknowledge him as her rightful husband.

The sleek Rolls–Royce Phantom rolled to a stop in front of an upscale business club. Without much emotion, Celine instructed, “Open the door. Must I remind you every time?”
