After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 676

At the hospital.

After returning, Aaron animatedly recounted the events at the breakfast spot.

Lucas listened for a while before suddenly interrupting him. "Did she really say that?"

Aaron paused, then realized Lucas was asking about Aveline rejecting Russell. He nodded. "Yeah, she seemed a bit awkward, clearly not expecting Russell to suddenly confess to her."

Lucas frowned. She didn’t like Russell.

Knowing this should have made him happy. But for some reason, his mood only grew heavier.

If she didn’t like Russell, could it be that she liked Sidney?

The thought made his expression darken even more. The problem was, there were too many men around her, giving her plenty of options.

He reached out and looked at Aaron. "Give me the phone."

Aaron handed it over, asking, "What are you planning?"

Lucas took the phone and dialed a number, his tone cold. "Fire Sidney."

Maria, on the other end, sounded groggy, like she had just woken up. "Huh? Why?"

"That’s an order," Lucas replied firmly.

Maria, now more alert, responded with a hint of defiance, "But I don’t feel like listening to your orders."

Lucas was speechless.

Maria continued, "Sidney is very competent and makes me a lot of money. I have no reason to fire him."

Lucas remained silent.

Then Maria seemed to recall something and chuckled. "Boss, are you worried that Aveline likes Sidney? Why so insecure?"

Lucas, expressionless, hung up the phone.

Maria laughed softly to herself—he really was insecure.
