Lucas leaned in closer, his face only inches from hers.

Seeing her cool, indifferent expression, he smirked slightly. "Aveline, are you just pretending not to knownow that you've gotten what you wanted?" Aveline frowned, "When did I ever pretend not to know you?" "Then why won't you lethave a kiss?" Lucas countered.

Aveline was at a loss for words. She pushed him away and stood up, saying, "Lucas, what we have is just a transaction. I hope you won't complicate it with anything else. It won't do either of us any good." Lucas looked at her overly composed face and chuckled, "But I think it doesa lot of good." "Will you do what I asked or not?" Aveline demanded, clearly frustrated by his persistence.

"Of course," Lucas replied as he moved closer to her, his voice soothing, "Since you asked, I'll do it, and I'll make sure it's done perfectly." Satisfied with his answer, Aveline turned and left.

With Lucas' help, she wouldn't have to worry about sending Hilda away. She decided to return to Cloudflare City today.

"You're leaving already? So soon? Can't you stay a few more days?" Zachary asked, trying to persuade her to stay when he heard she was leaving.

Aveline shook her head. "I chere on a whim, but I still have work in Cloudflare City. I can't stay too long." Zachary, looking a bit disappointed, replied, "Alright, when are you leaving?" "Tomorrow," she answered.

"Perfect," Zachary said. "I'll go buy sgroceries, and we can have steak dinner tonight. The kids love it." Aveline nodded. "Sounds good." She figured she could use the tto visit Zane.

Lucas leisurely walked out of her room and, seeing them talking, asked, "What's the conversation about?" Zachary looked a bit taken aback and surprised. "You two..." Lucas walked over to Aveline and casually put his arm around her shoulders. "What about us?" Zachary was at a loss for words.

Aveline quickly stepped forward, slipping out from under Lucas' arm, and headed straight for the door.

Lucas followed her step for step.

Once they were outside and he continued to trail behind, Aveline turned to him. "I have things to do. You don't need to follow me." Lucas replied, "I won't get in the way." Clearly, he had no intention of leaving.

Aveline frowned. "Don't you have your own work to do? You're the Chairman of the Tudor Group; shouldn't you be busy?" Lucas's lips curled into a

mischievous smile, his handsface even more roguish. "Do youn really think such a big company relies solely on me? What do you think I'm paying all those people for?" Aveline was speechless.

Well, it was a flawless reason.

With no way to shake him off, she stopped trying and simply opened the car door, getting in. Lucas slid effortlessly into the passenger seat beside her.

He might have claimed he wasn't busy, but during the drive, he managed to conduct several om conference calls back-to-back. His voice was low and steady, issuing. one directive after another, making decisive professional decisions. Aveline glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. Sensing her gaze, he immediately looked over and winked at her. Aveline felt a strange shiver run through her.

What on earth?

She pulled into a parking space, got out, and headed to a nearby breakfast shop. Lucas casually sat across from her, showing no concern for the modest surroundings. Aveline ordered two breads and a plate of pasta. Lucas, copying her, ordered the same. X
