"You..." Bradley stammered, "Aren't you the President of FX International Group?" Bradley had been staring at Edward ever since he had shown up. He was from a rich family. It was normal for him to know Edward's face.
"Do I know you?" Edward frowned. He looked at Bradley carefully now. But he couldn't remember his face.
"Oh, no, sir. But I know you. I have seen your pictures in the financial newspapers. My father also mentioned about you a lot, and has always asked me to learn from your example." Bradley's face lit up like Christmas. He had even forgotten all about Luke and Michelle.

"You're not coming?" Luke asked, looking at Michelle, who hadn't moved from her spot.
"I'm coming!" Michelle threw a glance at Bradley and then ran to catch up with them. Bradley was totally confused now. He had always thought that Michelle was born in an ordinary family. But from what he just witnessed, he figured that there was more to her than she was letting on.
This was not Michelle's first time riding in Luke's car. She felt uneasy as she stole a glance at the cold, handsome face beside her.
"Are you still angry at me?" she asked, a complex feeling emerging from her heart. She did not know what it was. She was hoping that he would be angry, yet she was afraid he might be. Contradictory emotions swirled inside her. action
"We'll talk about it when we get home," said Luke. He was focused on following Edward's car tightly. He wouldn't forget his duty. It was a peaceful world and seldom did accidents happen, yet it paid to be alert at all times because hell could break loose in the blink of an eye. Luke was not a man who left anything to chance.
Michelle understood that it was not the proper time to discuss the problems between them. She stopped talking, leaned against the back seat, a
r rail and looked down at her climbing the stairs. He was wondering why she hadn't shown up yet, and then found her coming up the stairs as if she was half dead from the effort.

"Well, if I weren't here, I wouldn't have known that you were trying so hard to buy time." Arms crossed over his chest, Luke teased her. He found her quite cute from that angle.
"I wasn't buying time! It's these stairs. They are steep." Michelle had to admit to herself that that was the lamest excuse she had ever used in her life. But that was the best one she could come up with at the moment.
"Why don't you blame your short legs?" Luke teased again. That was the stupidest excuse she could have given. At least, she should have come up with something smart enough to convince him. 'Steep stairs' was the best she could come up with? Needless to say, he wasn't impressed. But he was definitely amused.
"Ha ha! That's right. My short legs are also the reason." It was true that she did not have long, pretty legs like Leena or Daisy. They were both tall and had beautiful legs. But hers were pretty fine, compared to other women's. Anyway, she had come to terms with it long back. She had no one to blame, but her genes.
