A certain guy’s expression changed so fast that even the naked eye could detect it.
Ashlyn never noticed anything wrong with Lucas, though.
She continued cleaning up, then walked into the kitchen to do the dishes.
It was already late at night when she was finally done.
She sighed and grabbed her bag before informing, “I’m going home.”
Lucas stared like a leopard honing in on his prey. His sharp gaze locked in on her lazily as he suggested, “It’s late, so you should stay.”
“Lucas, we’re divorced,” reminded Ashlyn exasperatedly.
“The house is too big, and I’m scared of staying here alone because it’s dark. I’m not used to the darkness,” said the man, who decided to act weak the whole way through.
Lucas rarely lied, and he wasn’t used to lowering his stance or acting weak.
As such, he didn’t notice that his ears were slowly but surely turning red as he spoke.
Under the light, he looked ridiculously seductive, and his handsome face only made him more desirable.
Ashlyn was speechless.
She finally learned that some people were simply shameless and didn’t have any limits as to how low they would go.
Lucas Nolan, the president of Nolan group, and the captain of his crew.
That was the man who could get the powerful figures of Lake City to shiver simply by stomping his foot... Isn’t it a little ridiculous for him to say something so immature?
Ashlyn felt goosebumps all over herself.
Lucas had his eyes slightly down. Perhaps it was because he was lying and felt guilty, but he didn’t look Ashlyn in her eyes.
After a while, Lucas realized that Ashlyn never replied. He tilted his eyes up to sneak a peek and realized... that the door was open with the icy wind blowing in!
The lady had left.
How did she leave without making any noises or alerting me? F*ck!
Lucas stood up angrily.
