I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 128

"Miles has always been gentle, okay?"

Lyra smiled warmly as she walked up to Miles and winked at him.

"This little gathering is our secret. Just between the three of us. Absolutely no one else can know."

Miles raised an eyebrow. "Especially Mom and Dad, right?"

"Exactly."

Hearing this, he reached out and affectionately ruffled Lyra's hair.

"Hurry up and eat. I have things to do, so I won't be staying to entertain you two. If you need anything, grab it from the basement storage."

Curious, Lyra asked, "Are you heading back to the base?"

Under her attentive gaze, Miles shook his head.

"No, I have other business to attend to."

With that, he looked over at Chloe.

"You two have fun."

"No problem, Miles."

Miles gave a slight nod and strode purposefully toward the door.

After changing his shoes in the entryway, he glanced back at Lyra one last time.

"I've heard a bit about the situation with Maxwell. If there's anything you need me to handle, just say the word."

"Don't worry, Miles. It's completely over between him and me. There won't be any more drama dragging us down."

Lyra smiled radiantly as she spoke, her eyes curving into beautiful crescents.

"Speaking of which, I've got some incredibly fresh, explosive gossip to share."

Lyra turned her head to see Chloe looking at her with eyes full of scandalous delight.

"What do you think about me getting into investments?"

"Of course you should!" Chloe clapped her hands in enthusiastic agreement. "Even though this project doesn't strictly need more funding right now, getting in on it guarantees a solid return. Plus, the Lennox corporation is a fashion brand. Once the show airs, they could use Lennox designs for the press conferences and other events. It's basically free advertising."

That was exactly what Lyra had been thinking.

"Alright, let's do it."

She had a substantial amount of liquid capital sitting in her personal nest egg.

Maximizing her returns was the smartest move she could make.

So, the very first thing the two of them did that day was head straight to the filming location.

The set was officially on a break for the day, but the director and production crew were all present. It was the perfect opportunity to negotiate a deal without having to run into anyone unpleasant.

The partnership discussions went incredibly smoothly.
