"There isn't any!" he said

“Is there any important work? I mean, you haven't stopped looking at your phone since earlier."

You've missed important meetings three times. I'm sorry that I always indulged you in going to that bar,” Alex protested.

Lucas protested “Which part did I not understand? I don't see any serious problem you're having. You run the company well. Those thugs didn't cause any trouble either, your underlings at the academy are fine too, so what else?"

I think he's a nice guy, his way of speaking is polite, he's friendly too, but…” Aria couldn't continue what she was saying. Lucas pulled his hand to get out of the bathtub.

Lucas just stared at Aria from a distance and let her enjoy her time. "Aria has grown up, she understands your worry!" said Alex.
