Lucas?
When did he arrive?
How incredibly dexterous was this man? How had he managed to slip his arm over my shoulders while I was asleep? And I didn’t even notice it at all?
On the other hand, how much do I trust him that I had let down my guard completely around him?
Ashlyn shook her head helplessly.
Realizing that she was awake, Lucas snapped the magazine shut.
Gazing at her with his pair of deep eyes, a look of adoration overcame Lucas’s face. “Did you sleep well?”
“What brings you here?” Ashlyn found that the nap had rejuvenated her completely.
It was as though the life had finally seeped back into her veins.
Looking at Lucas’s handsome face had caused her anxieties to vanish into thin air.
“Do I need a reason to drop by and visit my wife at her office?” Lucas smiled. “Are you hungry?”
Playfully, Ashlyn replied, “Are you going to treat me to a meal?”
“Of course, it’s going to be my treat. I’ll be treating you to meals for the rest of your life.” Lucas bent down and pecked Ashlyn on her lips.
Ashlyn pushed him away, her face reddening. “Oh, stop it.”
Lucas’s lips curved into a smile. Tilting her chin up and gazing at her with amusement, he said in a low voice, “Why don’t we go to The Peacock for lunch?”
“Let’s go!” Ashlyn sat up immediately. “I’ll have to wash up first, though.”
The next day, there was a scene in the president’s office at Nolan Group.
A man had turned up at the office. From the racing attire he was wearing, it was quite apparent that he had come directly from the racing track.
He was incredibly handsome. With almond-shaped eyes that gave him a friendly look, the strip of dyed blue hair on his forehead only accentuated the cynicism and carelessness with which he regarded life.
