Lucas withdrew his cold gaze and said, "Get back to work." Desmond hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Mr. Tudor, there's a message from the main house. Madam Barbara wants to see you." Lucas remained indifferent. "Okay." He only gave a curt acknowledgment without indicating whether he would go or not.
Desmond carefully continued, "Mr. Tudor, no matter what Madam Barbara has done, she's getting on in years, and her health isn't what it used to be. She just wants to see you... Perhaps you should consider-" Lucas glanced at him. "You're so diligent. Should I give you a raise?" Desmond was taken aback at first, then chuckled awkwardly. "Actually, there's no need for that trouble. A bit more in the year-end bonus would do." "You've got snerve," Lucas said coolly.
Desmond grinned. "Mr. Tudor, I'm just saying. You don't have to take it seriously. I've got things to do, so I'll be going now." Before Lucas had a chance to get angry, Desmond made a quick exit! Lucas' eyes returned to the document in front of him, but no matter how long he stared, he couldn't seem to focus on a single word.

Aveline said, "I'm done with the villa. When will you send someone for the inspection?" Lucas replied, "I'm not feeling well. Maybe in a little while." Aveline suggested, "You could send someone to do it." Lucas responded, "I don't trust anyone else. I have to inspect it myself." Aveline was speechless.
She paused briefly, ready to hang up.
Lucas suddenly said, "Grandma wants to see us." Aveline hesitated. Remembering Barbara's hostility toward her, she replied, "You should go. I wouldn't want to ruin her mood." Lucas replied, "She doesn't have much tleft. Seeing her now might be the last chance." Aveline fell silent and wondered, "Who talks about their grandmother like that?" Well, Lucas had always been like this completely lacking in tact.
Aveline glanced at the tand asked, "When?" Lucas replied, "I'll send someone to pick you up." "Alright," Aveline agreed and waited quietly.
About half an hour later, Lucas messaged her to say the car had arrived downstairs. She gathered her things and headed out. As she stepped out, she saw Sidney coming out of the elevator.
"Why are you back?" Aveline asked, puzzled.
Seeing her, Sidney let out a sigh of relief. "I heard there were a few incidents here earlier. Knowing you hadn't left yet, I wanted to cup and check if you were still busy was worried something might have happened to you." His face was filled with concern.
Aveline recalled the earlier incidents and frowned slightly, glancing down the hallway. "Is the surveillance on e this floor still not fixed?" Sidney replied, "I'm not sure. So, from now on, it's better to leave on time. If you have work, just do it at home." "Alright." Aveline nodded.

of the vehicle, opened the door and smiled at Aveline..
Aveline. "Mr Judor, please. m He seemed to put extra emphasis on the way he addressed her.
