After the events of that night, when Lucas deliberately teased Deasy and left the game hanging, the man didn't apologize in the slightest. He didn't even appear once, let alone call or send a short message. It's been more than a week, and Lucas hasn't shown his prominent nose.You could say that Deasy was starting to feel lost. How Lucas used to visit, accompany, and even give her attention every morning and evening. He'd feed her and make sure she was full. And now? The man had disappeared from the scene.Even though every morning and evening, Deasy still received food deliveries, it wasn't delivered directly by Lucas as usual but through a courier or delivery service."Seriously, Lucas is so irresponsible. He promised to take care of things for nine months. How old is it now, a few weeks in, and he's already gone. Typical guy, they're all the same! Can they ever keep their promises?"In her office, while sitting and staring at her phone screen, Deasy could be heard grumbling. She wa
Upon arriving in the meeting room, Deasy could see her fellow managers had already gathered. Daniel, the Tricky Magic Com guy, was already comfortably seated in his chair."I thought you weren't attending the meeting because you haven't been around."As Deasy took her seat, Daniel immediately remarked. Their chairs happened to be right next to each other."There's no way someone as important as me would skip a meeting. Besides, my girlfriend would worry if she didn't see me here."Deasy continued to boast in front of Daniel, confidently acknowledging that Lucas Morales, their boss, was her boyfriend. Even though she knew her boss seemed to have a partner already.Meanwhile, Daniel visibly cringed. It was clear he was fed up with Deasy constantly flaunting herself."I bet your relationship won't last long. You're not even in the same league.""Don't try to be a fortune teller predicting people's fates."Daniel burst into laughter."I'm not pretending to predict the future. But, judging
Deasy walked casually as she entered one of the coffee shops in Pacific Place. While carrying her laptop bag in her right hand, she continued to move toward Sean, who had been there with Veronicafor a while.Seeing Deasy acting differently than usual, Sean immediately grew suspicious. For some reason, he was quite sure that something was amiss with his long-time friend.That's why, when Deasy sat down, Sean quickly asked a question. He wanted to make sure, with genuine concern, what was really happening to Deasy."What's wrong, Des? You look kind of down. Are you sick? Or not feeling well?"Deasy nodded slowly. She took several deep breaths while massaging her forehead, which was pulsating with pain."I'll be honest, I'm really tired," she said softly. Occasionally, her eyes closed as if she was truly feeling something uncomfortable within herself."Tired?" Sean's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't quite understand what Deasy meant by that. "Tired of what? Is your workload piling up? Many d
Lucas had been looking around from side to side for a while, scanning every corner of the room in an attempt to find Deasy. For whatever reason, tonight he really hoped that she would be present at the office celebration party.However, after nearly thirty minutes of searching, Lucas still hadn't found Deasy anywhere. He wasn't sure if she hadn't arrived yet or if she deliberately chose not to attend the party tonight.In truth, Lucas felt guilty. Lately, due to being so busy with work, he hadn't been able to visit Deasy as usual. Yet, he had promised to take care of her, protect her, and look after her during her pregnancy.However, even though he couldn't take care of her directly, Lucas still made an effort to send and ensure that Deasy had her daily meals. He hoped that after all his work was done, he could visit and accompany her as before.Honestly, sometimes Lucas felt a longing. He had grown accustomed to Deasy's nagging, and lately, her absence had made his life feel empty."
That evening, after a heated argument with Veronicaand Sean, Deasy decided to head home right away. Along the way, she grumbled to herself. She was really irritated, once again becoming the subject of mockery by her two friends.Deasy thought to herself, it's so easy for her to be called longing for Lucas Orion. She admitted that for the past few days, she had indeed been searching, but, please underline, not because of missing him. She was just annoyed that the guy hadn't kept his promises.From the start, Lucas had insisted on getting married. Then he offered, asking for permission to take care of and provide for all of Deasy's needs during her pregnancy with his child.However, after Deasy had agreed and only a few weeks had passed, the bespectacled man had disappeared. Well, yes, Lucas still sent food to Deasy every day.But, he didn't fulfill his promise to serve and meet Deasy's other needs. Wait a minute. What did she mean by other needs? Needs related to pregnancy or maybe eve
After receiving a sudden call from Deasy, who requested help and left him confused, Lucas immediately grew worried and anxious. Ignoring his colleagues who were still gathered at the office celebration party, Lucas decided to leave right away.Felix, equally puzzled, accompanied him, driving Lucas to Deasy's apartment.Upon arriving at Park Avenue, as soon as he got out of the car, Lucas hurriedly made his way to Deasy's unit on the seventh floor. He was deeply concerned because he had been trying to reach Deasy all along the way to the apartment, but she hadn't answered any of his calls."Mr. Lucas... you're still in your glasses and your shirt is unbuttoned."Felix, realizing that his boss hadn't changed his appearance, quickly caught up with him, bringing Lucas Orion's usual attire along with some other accessories. Felix also brought along several security personnel and apartment staff, fearing that something dangerous might have happened to Deasy.Upon reaching the front of Deasy
After thinking it over, Deasy realized that it might be a good idea and beneficial to let Lucas stay in her apartment temporarily.Last night, as she was getting ready to sleep, the man truly took care of her. He didn't stop massaging and stayed with her until she fell asleep.Even when she woke up this morning, Deasy initially didn't find Lucas. She briefly thought that he might have decided to go home.However, after getting cleaned up and stepping out of her room, she caught a whiff of the enticing aroma of cooking. Following her instincts, Deasy headed for the kitchen. And sure enough, there was Lucas, dressed neatly and busy with something on the stove.Wearing her pink Hello Kitty apron, Lucas looked cute. Deasy couldn't help but laugh at his appearance, which should have resembled that of a professional chef but ended up looking more like a young masterchef on television."Lucas."Deasy called out intentionally. Curious, she wondered what the man was cooking that had him lookin
This morning, at Deasy's request, Lucas drove her to the office using Deasy's personal car. This was done so that people wouldn't become suspicious or start questioning if they saw Deasy being driven in the Yaris, which Lucas usually uses.After ensuring that Deasy entered the building, Lucas immediately turned the steering wheel. Approaching a car that had been waiting in a secluded area not far from the office complex."Mr. Lucas," Felix called out while tapping the car window that Lucas was driving. He observed the surroundings, then signaled for Lucas to get out of the car."Have you prepared all my belongings in the car?"Felix nodded. Fortunately, he was used to moving quickly. So, as soon as Lucas gave the order, he immediately carried out what had been assigned."Yes, sir. Everything is ready without exception. And I think, Mr. Lucas should hurry. In thirty minutes, Union Group representatives will be coming to visit. They want to discuss the collaboration for the construction
