After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 611

Aveline opened the file and noticed the contact's last name was Blake, which made her hesitate. She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed the number. The unfamiliar digits gave her a surprising sense of relief.

"Hello?"

But when she heard Desmond’s voice on the other end, her mood soured immediately.

"Why is it you?"

Desmond was momentarily taken aback. "Uh… Miss Young? Is there something you need from me?"

He pretended to be surprised, but in reality, Lucas was sitting right next to him, listening in through the speakerphone.

Aveline asked, "I received a commission to design a villa. Did you buy a villa? Are you getting married?"

Desmond hesitated, glancing at Lucas for guidance.

Lucas, maintaining his cold demeanor, gave nothing away, leaving Desmond to fend for himself.

Desmond nervously stammered, "Ah… yes, it’s just a coincidence that the project landed with you. What a small world, huh?"

Aveline, not buying the casual tone, asked, "What are your requirements? Let me know, and I’ll take notes."

Desmond looked to Lucas again, but still received no help. Internally, Desmond was panicking—how was he supposed to come up with requirements? He couldn't afford a villa, let alone plan a wedding!

Finally, after a brief moment of thought, Desmond suggested, "Uh, Miss Young, how about we discuss this in person? Maybe even do a site visit? It could help inspire your design."

He carefully watched Lucas' reaction and, seeing no objections, sighed in relief. He had made the right call—arranging a meeting with Aveline was the correct move.

Aveline agreed, "Alright. Are you free this afternoon? Send me the location of the villa."

Desmond quickly replied, "Yes, I’m free. I’ll send you the address right away. We can discuss everything in person then."
