The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 64

"Right!" Samuel sprang to his feet, waving his hand, and the box instantly hushed up. At the entrance, Sarah, who was a little late, saw Allison standing next to Lucian. The whole thing today started with a waitress.

Sarah raised an eyebrow. The first time she saw Allison, she thought she was a very special girl.

She was as beautiful as a camellia, elegant and serene; her clear and bright eyes seemed untouched by the mundane world.

Such a woman often attracts men's attention the most, beautiful and completely oblivious.

...

At ten o'clock in the evening.

James called for a designated driver. Aidan was waiting for the driver; his gaze fell on Allison's face, and then he quickly moved away.

Allison was looking down. The box returned to peace after Kurt left. She planned to leave, but Lucian didn't let her go. She was treated as if she was invisible here.

After five minutes, Aidan stood up and said, "The driver's here; I’m bouncing."

Before Aidan left, he glanced at Allison, which Lucian caught.

Lucian chuckled and said, "Pour the wine!"

Allison turned around, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Lucian. When he took the glass, he also caught her fingers.

Allison's eyelashes fluttered like feathers, and she tried to draw her hand back.

A few drops of champagne spilled from the glass, landing on his shirt.

"My bad!" Allison quickly took out a tissue to wipe it for him. He grabbed her fingers tightly for a moment, and the wine glass fell from his hand onto the carpet.

Lucian, under the influence of alcohol, lost control, or perhaps...

He was always sober.

"Lucian, let go..." Allison resisted, suddenly biting his lip; instantly, their mouths filled with the taste of rust.

She saw surprise flash through his eyes, and Allison took advantage of the moment to gasp for breath. She quickly stepped back, keeping a distance from him.

He reached out and wiped his lips.

"Overdoing the drama only makes the payback bigger. I'm not into overly self-centered women." Lucian's slender fingers slowly traced Allison's cheek. His fingertips were chilly, and every inch of skin they touched sent a chill down her spine, "You guessed right; I’m a bit curious about you. Smart women know how to use men's curiosity to get what they want. But be careful; being too smart might just backfire."

Allison knew he had a great misunderstanding about her. With these misunderstandings stacked up, Allison couldn't explain clearly.
