The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Best Buddies

Landon walked out of the bar. Perhaps, he had drank a few more than he intended that his focus was swimming around. Nevertheless, it didn’t mess him up, and he quickly arrived at his car.

As he hopped into it and started the gear, he looked around to check his area before slowly driving his car forward.

Just then, as he passed by the hotel entrance, a figure emerged from a car that had just arrived.

If Landon had waited or stayed there for even a few seconds, he would’ve recognized who it was.

At this point, Lucy also had no idea that Landon had just passed by. If she did, it would have made her regret coming, as she wouldn’t have no way out of it.

Walking into the lobby, the lavish style of the interior didn’t beat the overwhelmingly beautiful exterior of the building. As it was a famous place for people with money to have fun, it really did precede its reputation. Soon after she reached the reception desk, a lady entertained her and told her what floor and room to go to. She was also given a key to the room.

She headed to the elevator, which was descending, and waited for her turn to ride it. But when it finally opened, an unexpected surprise was in front of her.

Other than Landon, there was a new addition to the list of the least people she wanted to see. Kai, whom she had met at the bar last time, was standing inside the elevator, looking just as surprised as she was.

Shit. Lucy couldn’t stop cursing inwardly, as she wished she hadn’t come across him too soon. After their meeting that ended with a provocation, Lucy dared not stray into bars anymore, fearing he would pop out of nowhere and drag her to see Landon. After all, Kai was Landon’s number 1 fan.

The guy dressed immaculately, but his roguish charm couldn’t be covered as the collar of his shirt was unbuttoned, letting a part of his collarbones and golden chest peek from the gap. According to the information she dug about him after their meeting last time, Kai did not lack any female admirers. And it’s clear why it was.

Like Landon, Kai had this certain aura around him. However, compared to Kai, Lucy still preferred Landon’s type.

Stop. Why am I even comparing them? Landon should no longer be an option for her.

Besides, there was no way she would pursue any romantic relationship in the future. Her marriage with Landon had given her enough experience.

Facing Kai, whose surprise was replaced with a frown as his eyes lowered and focused elsewhere, Lucy nodded at him. It was hard to ignore him, not when his eyes were brimming with something she couldn’t point out.

However, he didn’t move. No. He didn’t step out of the elevator, which struck her strangely.

"Do you mind stepping to the side?" Not wanting to know why he was acting weird; Lucy entered the elevator before it was about to close.

Kai didn’t block her, thankfully. However, he also didn’t leave.

Lucy didn’t want to deal with or think of what he was there for, so she just faced the front. But unfortunately, the elevator was made with steel that served as a mirror. Hence, she could still meet his eyes even with her back towards him when she raised her head.

Putting both hands in his pockets, Kai leaned gracefully against the wall of the elevator. He watched her with amused eyes before his lips moved to speak.

"Do you know who I was with just now?"
