She reached for a glass of wine from a nearby waiter and made her way over to Lucas’s side ostentatiously. However, she wasn’t aware of the emotions behind the man’s indifferent gaze because she was perceiving otherwise in her mind.
Since Mr. Nolan has given me eye contact, I can’t possibly stand around idly like an idiot, right? I won’t allow such a golden opportunity to slip by my side!
The more she thought about it, the more Sharon became full of herself.
Finally, she made it to Lucas’s side and stood in front of the man. Her heart pounded furiously; the man looked even more breathtaking from close proximity. He was undeniably a heartbreaker. Tall and majestic, his presence was superior to those around him.
Recalling the so-called “signal” from Lucas, she cast a lustful gaze at the man. She raised her glass of wine and invited the man to drink to a toast timidly. “Mr. Nolan, cheers.”
Lucas glanced at Sharon through the corner of his eyes. Ignoring her, he replied to Mike instead, “I must say I’m impressed because you have quite an interesting idea.”
All of a sudden, Sharon, who was still holding on to her glass of wine, had a stiff expression. She felt embarrassed.
What? This is nothing close to what I have in mind! Why is Mr. Nolan ignoring me? He was the one who had gotten me over, right?
Sharon felt anxious deep down, but she tried her best to put on a calm front and smiled. “Mr. Nolan, since you’re one of the major shareholders of LX from now onward, I guess we’ll be in your care.”
“You? Do you really think you deserve to be in my care?” Lucas scoffed. Smirking contemptuously, he clinked glasses with Mike instead.
Mike knew what Lucas was up to. Therefore, he took his leave and left Sharon and Lucas alone.
“W-What did you just say? Weren’t you the one who...” Sharon stared at the gorgeous man in front of her in disbelief.
“Who are you anyway?” Lucas became increasingly irritated because he couldn’t figure out what the foolish woman was up to.
“I thought you have a thing for me? Haven’t you been eyeing me for quite some time?” Sharon put on a pitiable front because she was certain she would be able to get Lucas to sympathize with her, thus triggering his urge to protect her.
“Oh... Is that what you’re referring to?” The woman’s motive finally dawned on Lucas.
He sized Sharon up and realized she was nothing close to Ashlyn in terms of height and looks. He was also certain she wouldn’t be a match for Ashlyn in terms of personality and talent. This sort of impudent fool actually has the audacity to pick on Ashlyn?
Sharon got her hopes high once again as soon as she detected the expression on Lucas’s face. Reminded of his actions a few minutes ago, she thought he finally returned to his senses.
She turned around in an attempt to lean against the man as she assured him, “Mr. Nolan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep you entertained throughout the night. You’ll have the best time of your life. I’m sure I’ll do a better job than Ashlyn.”
In the end, she staggered because Lucas had taken a step back the moment she tried to approach him.
Once ogoin, she stood right where she wos, emborrossed, becouse things didn’t turn out the woy she hod imogined they would.
“Throw her out immediotely! I don’t wont to see her in LX onymore!” As soon os Lucos delivered his instructions in o collous tone, Spencer showed up with o few men in block ond surrounded Shoron.
