Connor spotted the two security guards from a distance. They were standing in front of a girl on a motorcycle, talking to her. His expression darkened. He thought for sure they were trying to flirt with Lydia. She was hard to miss, after all, with that pretty face and confident vibe. Wherever she went, people noticed her.
“What are you doing?” Connor’s voice was icy, sending a chill through the air.
The guards, Brendan and Seth, both former military and now working for Jefferson Group, immediately straightened up. They took their jobs seriously and didn’t want trouble.
“Sir, we just wanted to ask who she was waiting for. There’s a rule, you know, no parking here,” Brendan stammered.
Neither of them could quite believe Lydia was actually waiting for Connor. In their minds, Connor was the kind of man who’d never be caught dead with a girl by his side. Sure, Lydia was stunning, but their boss was… well, he was their boss.
Connor looked at them, his gaze sharp. “From now on, even if she wants to bring her bike inside the building, you open the door for her. Got it?”
Brendan and Seth stared, wide-eyed.
Lydia handed Connor a helmet. “Let’s go.”
He took it, giving the guards a final warning look. Then, in an instant, the cold and fierce CEO everyone knew was gone. Instead, Connor’s tone softened, his eyes gentle as he looked at Lydia. “Alright.”
The two guards just stood there, stunned, watching their no-nonsense, emotionless boss climb onto the back of Lydia’s motorcycle and wrap his arms gently around her waist.
Were they dreaming? Was this really their untouchable, intimidating CEO?
It just didn’t seem possible.
The engine roared to life, and in a flash, Lydia and Connor disappeared down the street. Only when the sound faded did the guards finally snap out of it.
Out of nowhere, Connor spotted several motorcycles up ahead, about two hundred meters away. Chris was waving like crazy, his voice echoing across the canyon, loud enough to drown out the engines.
Connor noticed Chris had brought a whole crew of young, good-looking guys with him. Under his helmet, Connor’s expression darkened again.
Chris, of course, had no idea.
“Lydia! You look awesome!”
There were seven guys in total, counting Chris. Since Cooper had a broken arm and couldn’t ride, Garnet gave him a lift, so there were six bikes.
Lydia slowed down and pulled up in front of them, taking off her helmet in one smooth, confident move.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
