Lena’s heart skipped a beat as she turned her head, finding Alaric standing there, hands in his pockets, a playful smirk on his face.

"Finished most of that coffee, huh? Aren’t you worried it’ll keep you up even more?" he teased.

A small flicker of relief washed over her, but she quickly masked it, turning her head away with a huff. Of all things, he’d managed to track her down and call out her excuse. She lightly touched her cheek with her fingertips, glancing upward. "And what about you? What are you doing down here? How’d you even know I was at the café?"

"You’re afraid of ghosts, so obviously you’d stay somewhere well-lit," he said matter-of-factly, taking a seat across from her.

    Lena glanced at Alaric, who hadn’t moved a muscle. Lowering her eyes, she swiftly swung her legs off the bed. “Forget it. I’m not thick-skinned enough to hog your bed. I’ll just—”As she brushed past him, her dress lightly swept against his leg. In an instant, Alaric’s hand encircled her waist, pulling her back against him. Her back pressed against his rising and falling chest, and even through the fabric, she could feel the heat emanating from his legs, now supporting her seated on his lap.Her breath hitched, and a gravelly voice murmured by her ear, “Be honest, were you thinking about sleeping with me?”The words were nearly the same as before, but the tone was completely different. The air had shifted. Lena’s heart pounded chaotically. She

    “Congratulations on making your first connection here.” Alaric crossed his arms, his tone laced with sarcasm.The last item on their Z-country itinerary had been checked off, and they were now on the way to the airport. Lena glanced at him sideways. What’s his deal?“It’s a company connection.”“Did you not notice how tightly he was holding your hand?” Alaric’s tone was frosty.“What was I supposed to do? Yank my hand away? Our project’s success might depend on him.” Lena’s voice was calm, though slightly exasperated. The local government representative they’d met wasn’t exactly high-ranking, but she understood the principle of avoiding unnecessary conflict with autho

    Although Jade could only grab a quick meal with Alaric today, she felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction. In just an hour, her inbox was flooded with private messages:"Having dinner with which handsome guy? huh?""The hand across from you radiates serious sexual tension!""Don't think we can't figure out who he is just because you only showed his hand. That limited-edition watch narrows it down to a handful of people in the entire country.""Who's the lucky guy who caught the attention of our beauty?""Sneaking a boyfriend and not telling us?"Jade chuckled to herself, feeling a boost to her ego.

    Alaric’s gaze was dark and unreadable, like a deep, still lake. The person in front of him was clearly playing dumb despite knowing better.Lena’s faint smile disappeared. “If you have something to say, just say it. I really don’t know what you’re trying to get at.”His brows furrowed, as if he had something he wanted to blurt out, but in the end, he pressed his lips together. Seeing his silence, Lena felt her heart sink.“About the other night—it was mutual. There’s nothing more to talk about. You’re not some love-struck teenager, after all.”His brow didn’t relax, not even slightly. After some effort, he smoothed his expression and straightened up. “You’re the one who’s acting lik

    Elise rested her chin on her hand, analyzing calmly, "This is serious. I mean, come on, your two—uh, I mean, they—can't just call the first time an accident. Having a second time means the first time must've been great. Physically, they're a match. That’s rare. So what's the problem?"Lena sheepishly rubbed her nose. Elise had hit the mark, but Lena couldn't shake the messy, tangled feelings in her chest. "But they work together. Continuing this might not be a good idea, right?""So what? If you like someone, you go for it. Your 'friend' likes him, doesn’t she?" Elise teased, nudging Lena with her elbow.Lena’s ears burned red. "It’s not like that. At most… he’s just… skilled

    A week later, on the following Friday, Elise invited Lena to her apartment after work. As the heiress of the Waverly jewelry brand, Elise lived in a prime area of the city, and it took Lena just over ten minutes to get there from her office.“Come over here!” Elise waved Lena over with excitement.Lena approached with a suspicious look. “What are you up to? Weren’t we just grabbing dinner? Why do I need to come to your place first? What’s your plan?”“It is dinner, but we need to look fabulous for it!” Elise grinned mischievously as she tugged on the belt of Lena’s trench coat. Lena had chosen a khaki trench coat that accentuated her slim waist, though it concealed the outfit b

  • Rivals to Lovers   Ch51 - The wall

    The hallway was dimly lit, but Lena stood out like a dazzling star, impossible to ignore. Beyond her naturally striking features, tonight she looked exceptionally stunning in a silver sequin dress held up by two thin straps. The hem barely reached a third of her thighs, showing off her perfectly toned legs. Her prominent collarbones peeked out above the neckline, and below that, her curves were on full display. The fabric across her chest had deliberate ruching that made the silhouette both modestly suggestive and undeniably alluring. Her hair was half-tied, with a soft curl of bangs framing her face. The look combined a seductive elegance with a touch of wild charm. Alaric felt as though he’d taken a heavy blow to the chest. The four of them froze upon seeing each other, each with a different expression. Next to Alaric, Argo’s eyes widened in surprise, his brows shooting up. “Lena! I can’t believe I’m running into you again tonight!” He had tried to ap

    "Alaric, I think I might have had too much to drink. I feel a little dizzy and unsteady," Jade said softly, her watery eyes looking up at him."Argo!" Alaric's voice was cold as he tried to pry Jade's hands off him, which clung to him like an octopus. He called out to the stunned Argo, who had been standing frozen in place.Argo snapped out of his daze and quickly hurried over."Help Jade stand," Alaric commanded.Argo pointed at himself in disbelief, and under Alaric’s impatient glare, hesitantly placed a hand on Jade’s shoulder. But Jade still wouldn’t let go. She closed her eyes and leaned toward Alaric.By then, Lena had already turned away. When Alaric glanced back, Elise had already reached her, taken her hand, and was pulling her along. Elise gave Alaric a sharp look and said curtly, "Take care of your friend, Alaric. We're leaving."Alaric was left speechless.Once they were out of earshot, Elise rolled her eyes again, this time even more dramatic

Won't your mom not want to see me?" Lena asked, skeptical.Alaric shrugged. "No idea.

Alaric said he’d take care of dinner, so she didn’t have to worry.But while passing a charming boutique, she decided to get into the holiday spirit and bought some gingerbread along with two treats—a pair of Christmas Santas made from strawberries.Clutching her treats, she headed back to the hospital. Remembering the call with Elise and the report that had just come out, she asked Alaric as she entered his room, "You must be happy now, right?"She didn’t notice the dimmed lights inside.

    "Whoa! Lena, you’re crazy—this is true love!" Elise didn’t care that she was in the middle of a date on Christmas Eve; as soon as she saw the trending news, she immediately made an international call to Lena."The whole world knows now—you and Alaric are officially the ‘golden couple’!"Her tone was so exaggerated, as if she had never heard of this before.In reality, when Lena was waiting to board her flight to Singapore, she had a feeling that she might be spotted by reporters. So, to be ahead of the news, she had proactively told Elise that she and Alaric were officially together.Elise had always suspected that there was something going on between them, so back then, her reac

Lena greeted her,"Hi Emma, are you here on a business trip too?""Ah, yes, I arrived a few days ago to handle a merger case, and I’m here to spend Christmas as well—my family is in town," Emma explained after a moment’s thought.Then she added,"Keaton told me that Alaric ended up in the hospital an

    Lena shook off Daisy’s words with a forceful gesture, taking a deep sniff as she pushed open the revolving door of the building.A blast of cold wind hit her—much chillier than she’d imagined. Snowflakes settled on the tips of her hair and on her scarf, giving the impression that she was draped in a delicate layer of white gauze.When she looked up to snap a photo with her phone, fresh snow landed on her cheeks and melted instantly from her body heat.After sending the photo to Alaric, thinking he should be calling any minute, she decided to wait for his call out on the street.But two minutes passed, then five, and she still hadn’t received any call from him. Alaric was always punctual.

    In Lena’s eyes, Daisy was never the traditional kind of mother.Maybe it was because she’d always been fiercely independent. When Alaric’s grandparents—Daisy’s own parents—transformed their trading company into a real estate business, Daisy poured a lot of effort into Winfield.She and her husband were married through a family alliance, and at the time, the company was just getting started. Daisy needed a husband who could help support her career. In other words, she was willing to sacrifice even her marriage for her career without complaint.That mindset even extended to how she raised her son—as if nurturing a business.In that respect, Lena felt Daisy was somewhat similar t

    They were busy until late into the night when, all of a sudden, Alaric got a burst of inspiration and impulsively suggested booking tickets somewhere so that they could go on a day trip together tomorrow—since it was the weekend.But Lena stopped him. She didn’t want the hassle of going back and forth on the same day, so she proposed that they wait a couple of weeks and then take advantage of the few days off over Christmas to go out together.Alaric asked, "Do you want to check out that little island in Queensland, or should we go skiing up north?""Either’s fine," Lena replied with a smile.As long as she’s with him, anywhere works. They still have plenty of time.On Sunday morning,

    “You’re so unfair, using your strength against me,” she huffed, glaring at him with puffed cheeks.Alaric braced one hand against the bed, half-lidding his eyes as he looked down at her, his other hand pressing firmly against her waist.The next second, the world flipped. In a swift motion, he reversed their positions.“See? Now I’m not the one overpowering you,” he teased, his voice rich with amusement.Lena was momentarily stunned by his effortless maneuvering. Her ears flushed pink as she sputtered, “You… you could be even more shameless, you know that?”Meant as a retort, but Alaric, ever the troublemaker, smirked. “Oh? Really?”His voice dipped into a low, honeyed rasp. “Then how about you take the lead tonight?”Before he even finished speaking, his hand had already slid down, tracing along the delicate curve of her back. His fingers glided across her skin, leaving behind a trail of tingling warmth.Lena’s breath hitched again. As Alaric’s wicked smirk deepened, she pressed her

    "You know, after battling each other for so long, how were we ever supposed to know what being in love would feel like?"Alaric’s pupils dilated just a bit, and before the blood in his brain could even start boiling, Lena immediately chimed in, "But!"His heart skipped a beat."But… I almost felt like I was overthinking things," Lena said with an embarrassed little laugh, glancing away. "What do you think?"Her doubts had long since disappeared after spending two days with him. If he hadn’t brought it up tonight, she would have completely forgotten about it.Alaric’s thick lashes trembled for a moment, and then as his eyelids lifted again, the dullness in his eyes was replaced with a spark of
