Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 518

"Don't even try to hide it," Shirley laughed. "Your eyes are practically glued to him."

At that exact moment, Lyman's voice cut through the chatter. "Who wants some?"

He casually scanned the hungry crowd, letting his gaze settle deliberately on Effie.

She knew immediately that the question was meant for her.

"He could not be throwing a more obvious hint," Shirley whispered enthusiastically. "Go get him!"

But just as Effie stood up, someone else beat her to the punch.

It was the aggressive woman from the marketing department.

In a blatant bid for attention, she had shed her jacket, tying it around her narrow waist to show off the tight tank top underneath, ensuring her figure was on full display.

Exuding desperate confidence, she strutted straight toward the grill.

"Mr. Etheridge..." she purred.

Before she could take another step, Luther materialized seemingly out of nowhere, blocking her path entirely.

She frowned, glaring up at the tall assistant.

"You. Come with me," Luther ordered flatly.

She shot him an annoyed look. "Luther, Mr. Etheridge literally just invited everyone to eat. Don't you think you're being a massive buzzkill?"

Trying to peer around his broad shoulders, she pitched her voice higher. "Mr. Etheridge..."

Lyman heard her perfectly, yet he didn't so much as glance in her direction.

Bitter disappointment washed over the woman's face.

"Let's go," Luther repeated, his tone leaving no room for argument.

He had spent the last twenty minutes hunting for her across the summit, but she had managed to vanish right after her altercation with Effie. Now that she had conveniently presented herself, he wasn't letting her go.
