…At GreyHills City's Airport.Heidi came down from the plane with Isla by her side. “This place is beautiful,” Isla commented. Heidi nodded in agreement.“Princess, sorry I can't accompany you on your business trip. I'd rather go catch some fun. Goodbye.” Zach had his own plans, so he made it clear as soon as they arrived. At that moment, a flashy red car parked in front of him, and a slender lady dressed in a black mini-dress came down.“Long time no see, Mr. Olsen.” She batted her lashes, her lips pulling into a seductive smile.“Hey, Ruby, you haven't changed a lot.” Zach winked at her and took the car keys. They soon drove off.Isla couldn't close her mouth. “What are we gonna do now, Ms. Olsen? I thought Mr. Olsen would accompany us. As the president of AG Group, his presence might have some impact on the clients.”Imagine Isla's joy when Zach joined them on the trip. But now, he was abandoning them for some fun?“Believe me, you wouldn't want him to be there.” Heidi shook he
…At the center of GreyHills City, where the traffic was high and the streetlights shone as the day, was an enormous Bar. A sleek black car pulled over, and a man jumped out of the passenger seat and held the back door open. “Mr. Harrison, I hope you won't turn down an invitation for a nightlong fun.”“I came here for business.” Lucas looked displeased. “Where can I meet Mr. Herman.”“Mr. Herman is in there. You see…” The man put on a hesitant look. “Mr. Herman manages this bar and is always around to keep a close watch on it. Don't worry, a private booth is specifically reserved for you. The good news is that it is soundproof and you won't be disturbed by the music coming from downstairs.”Since the client didn't want any fun, the man quickly dropped the topic like a hot potato. Lucas followed him into the bar, and Amanda followed behind, whispering, “Those properties are very good and will bring in a lot of cash. Mr. Harrison, we will gain more profit by investing in them.”“I wo
The cool air around him and the subtle smile on his lips would instantly make one comfortable in his presence.“Speak of the devil.” Kate laughed.Isla choked on her drink, and Heidi stared at him wide-eyed. “Let me guess, you're Steve!” Heidi stood up, not believing her eyes. From the moment Steve walked in, his eyes first landed on her, and he couldn't look away. His lips formed a ‘Wow’ shape, and he shoved both hands into his pants pocket, blinking slowly. “And you're Heidi?” The words left his lips as a whisper.Kate looked from her brother to Heidi. She smiled secretly, a mischievous look glinting in her eyes. “Yeah, she's Heidi.” Kate broke the awkward silence. “Stop drooling, Bro. Heidi's my special guest, don't make her uncomfortable.”Steve collected himself and sat down, his eyes still fixed on Heidi. “You've truly grown into a beautiful woman. I'm amazed.”“I can say the same for you.” Heidi laughed. “Where's that lonely boy who would secretly sneak snacks into my locke
Outside The Bar… Mr. Herman held the backseat door of the car open, grinning from ear to ear. “Have a great night, Mr. Harrison. I hope we have many more collaborations in the future.” Lucas sat inside the car. As the driver was about to kick off the engine, Amanda reported from the passenger seat. “Mr. Harrison, the pilot notified me that the weather is good, and we can return to Phoenix City tonight.” Lucas's mind strayed to that familiar figure. His eyes were closed, seemingly lost in his thoughts. He couldn't have mistaken, right? She was definitely Heidi. “Mr. Harrison, is everything alright?” Amanda asked, wondering if he didn't hear her report. Lucas opened his eyes. About to answer Amanda's question, but what he first saw astounded him. Through the car's front window, three ladies walked out of the bar and Heidi was among them. His instincts were right. He hadn't been hallucinating. Lucas straightened up, his narrowed eyes fixed on her. A man accompanied them, an
As the man approached, Heidi was eerily aware that it was him. Lucas Harrison.Lucas stopped in front of her. He didn't look as surprised as she was on seeing him.“You… what are you doing here?”“I should ask you the same question.”Heidi didn't expect him to suddenly grab her arm. His eyes were as sharp as a knife and his handsome features spelt imminent danger.“Hey, let me go.” Getting over her shock, Heidi pulled away. “Watch your action, Mr. Harrison.”“Shut up, just answer my question.”“Heidi, what's going on?” Kate stepped between them. Seeing the heavenly handsome man almost made the air in her lungs escape until he grabbed Heidi forcefully. “Do you know each other? Hey, Dude, you can't just pop out of nowhere and bully a lady. Leave Heidi alone or I'll call the police.”The only response Kate got from the man was a deadly glare. “The heck! Do you want to bully me too?” Kate rolled up her sleeves, looking agitated. “You'd better leave us alone, otherwise, before I call the
A stunned silence lingered. Heidi paused and stared at him in shock, her chest heaving up and down. Her ponytail loosened, and a portion of her hair cascaded down the side of her face. As she breathed heavily, her lips parted slightly, her wide milky eyes staring back at him. Starkly aware of their proximity, and feeling a particular soft flesh pressed against his hard chest, a breath of air escaped from his lips and his throat dried up. Heidi's heartbeat was a mess, her chest thumping nonstop. As Lucas reached up with his hand and pulled a hair strand behind her ear, letting his fingers graze the side of her neck, a strange sensation coursed down her system, igniting flames inside her. Their heartbeats were prominent. He wrapped all his fingers behind her nape, pulling her head down, while using his other hand, which was on her waist, to press her close to him. When their lips touched, sparks exploded. Heidi lost sense of reality. As Lucas sucked the air out of her, lavishi
At Heidi's question, Kate and Isla exchanged glances.Isla wriggled her fingers together, looking nervous. “Please forgive me, Ms. Olsen. I had to tell her everything, otherwise, Ms. Anderson insisted on calling the police. While we're no match for Lucas Harrison.”“So you got married before,” Kate exclaimed. “I honestly thought you were a fresh single, Heidi.”“Ms. Olsen and Mr. Harrison have already separated. But I fear Mr. Harrison doesn't want to let go of Ms. Olsen yet without giving her troubles,” Isla explained, looking fearful.She had spent a great deal of time with Heidi, and she'd seen how Zach Olsen had interacted with Heidi like his little sister. There was no romance between them whatsoever, and the news was revealed at Zach Olsen's birthday party that Lucas Harrison was Heidi's ex-husband. Isla became more curious, wondering why Heidi was never revealed to the public as a member of the Olsen Household. Everyone in Phoenix City knew each family member of the Olsens H
…Seeing that familiar car parked in front of the Villa again, Lucas's eyes were as dark as the night.As he sat inside his car, his eyes were glued to that car, patiently waiting, and impatiently struggling to reign in his emotions.Some minutes later, the Villa's gates opened. Four people came out of it; Heidi and the other two ladies, then that man. Lucas left his car, slamming the door shut. Before Steve could hold the door open for Heidi, he reached their sides, startling everyone.“Heidi, we need to talk.” Ignoring the shocks registered on their faces, he fixed his piercing gaze on Heidi.Heidi recovered from the shock, feeling a headache coming. When she remembered what transpired between them a while ago, her eyes dimmed. “Mr. Harrison, what do you want from me?”“Come with me.”“To do what?”“Just come with me.” Lucas's voice was eerily low, his eyes throwing daggers at the man beside her.Steve instantly grasped what was going on. He was no stranger to these kinds of situa
