It was only after Kevan promised that he would return from the company as fast as he could that Lucas

returned Larissa’s phone to her.

Larissa led Lucas upstairs-After all, many residents would come and go, so to stay at the entrance of

the building was a little too jarringly

obvious.

The Rogers family driver did not leave. He remained dutifully by Larissa’s side, his eyes fixed steadily

on Lucas.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to apologize to Kevan? Why did it change into needing to find him for

something important?” Larissa asked. She thought that “something important” was just Lucas’ excuse

for getting Kevan to come back home. She did not expect him to say, “My true purpose of coming over

today is to tell Mr. Rogers about this important matter. When I said I wanted to apologize, I just wanted

you to open the door for me. But I didn’t expect you to be so cautious against me too.” He lowered his

head, smiling bitterly.

Larissa did not know if he was telling the truth or a lie right now, so she naturally did not dare to be

honest with him.

“If you’re looking for Kevan, why are you here and not at Microworks?” she asked curiously.

“Uh—“Lucas hesitated for a few seconds. “We’ll talk about it after Mr. Rogers comes back.”

Lucas opened his mouth but noticed Larissa and the driver in his peripheral vision, so he asked

carefully. “Mr. Rogers, may we speak in the study?”

Kevan was not afraid of him trying anything. “Very well” He led Lucas to the study while instructing the

driver, “You are to remain here before we leave the study.”

The driver nodded quickly. “Yes, sirl”

Kevan and Lucas entered the study, where the latter closed the door, even going as far as to lock it.

Hearing the sound of the lock, Kevan turned back sharply and asked, “Why are you locking the door?”

Lucas smiled sheepishly and said. “I’m afraid that someone might barge in

“This is my home.” Kevan asserted. “Do you think that someone will suddenly barge in?”

Lucas froze awkwardly before rubbing his nose, turning around to unlock the door when Kevan said.

“Forget it. Sit.”

They sat across from each other at the study table. Kevan’s hands were placed on the lable’s surface,

his expression calm and casual. ”

Go on, speak. He gazed straight at Lucas, who got inexplicably nervous from it. The weather was

rather cold that day, and the thermostat in the study was not on, yet a thin layer of sweat began to coat

his nose.

“It’s about Lana. He looked down, staring fixedly at a point on the table, his voice strained.
