Lucas felt slightly dejected once he detected the displeased look the woman had. Hence, he decided to obey her.
Ten minutes later, Lucas opened the door of the guest room.
At the same time, someone opened the door of the guest room next door.
Simultaneously, two men stepped out of their respective rooms.
“Isn’t that Lucas? What on earth is the most annoying guy on earth doing here?” Jared, who had a disheveled look, muttered to himself as he stared at Lucas in disbelief.
What the hell? Where the hell am I? Confusion was written all over his face once he detected the presence of Lucas.
He thought he must have had stepped out of the room at the worst possible timing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have run into Lucas first thing in the morning.
Jared’s mind was all over the place. He lost himself in the process of thought for quite a few seconds before striding back to the guest room.
Bam!
He closed the door immediately and surveyed the surroundings, affirming the fact he was still at home.
Does that mean I’m hallucinating?
Jared spent some time turning the idea repetitively in his mind. In the end, he pinched his thigh and felt a racking sensation.
It hurts!
Once again, he opened the door, grimacing. He was taken aback by the upcoming scene yet again because Lucas was right by Ashlyn’s side, making their way to the dining hall.
He decided to tail them and followed them all the way to the dining hall with his disheveled appearance. Jordan stared at the divorced husband and wife, who had taken their seats, dining elegantly together.
Although they were a compatible pair in terms of look, the fact that they were together was unusually odd.
“A-Ashlyn, w-what’s going on?” Jared’s jaw dropped open, asking, pointing at the man with an intimidating presence.
He dared not address her as he always had because he was afraid Lucas would notice their actual relationship.
Ashlyn took a mouthful of the freshly served eggs benedict, pouting her crimson lips, savoring the taste of the delicacy. She raised her head and took a peek at Jared, stating, “You should check your social media account, Mr. Quickton.”
My social media account?
Actually, Ashlyn had long given up on Jared, the unreliable teammate of hers.
She finally figured out the reason Lucas dropped by the moment she checked on Jared’s social media account.
I wonder what brings Mr. Nolan to Bayview Villa by air in the middle of the night?
