Alex secretly investigates a man named Carlos. Based on the information he got, he also confirmed that the man in question had interacted with Fantino in Sicily. Carlos is quite influential because of his jewelry business; he also has acquaintances in the business community there. Even though Alex had gotten all the information he needed, he hadn't reported anything to Lucas yet because no movement would threaten Carlos. For a moment, everything went smoothly. Alex intends to return to his room; it's time for him to rest and forget the world's problems for a moment. He gasped to see from a distance that Lucas was on the second floor's balcony. Lucas' face looked very tired. Moreover, he was enjoying the evening breeze with a glass of cocktail. "Are you enjoying the quiet alone, sir?" Alex exchanged pleasantries Lucas just smiled faintly; he allowed Alex to stand beside him. So far, the bond of friendship for Lucas does not guarantee that one day he will not be lonely. Lucas unders
“I can't stop thinking, how could you let him manipulate data? Tell him right now to my room.” Lucas released his anger. He has visited his subsidiaries in several areas today. He checks the progress of his project. It wasn't a big project, but one of the depts had been manipulating the data. Even his employees copied and distributed the data to people who competed with Lucas in the business world. “I'm sorry, sir, it's my fault for being negligent in this matter.” his secretary Maria lowered her head; she didn't expect to be fooled. The deputy deputy division is responsible for projects in the east and is a good person. He is so friendly and works hard that even his subordinates often praise him as a man who is not stingy. They always get the job done on time. “Maria, I'm not interested in hearing your apology. Call that bastlard to my room right now!” Lucas said firmly One more hour is the time to go home from work. Lucas held back his emotions all the way, making his mood erra
“Miss Aria, it's time to get up. I prepared warm soup and hangover reliever for you” Maya shook Aria's body, so that the girl would wake up from her sweet dream.Aria's eyes opened slowly. The warm scent hit her senses immediately. She winced at the sensation that suddenly hit her body. Her head felt a bit heavy, but it didn't hurt too much."Good morning Miss Aria, I'm glad you're awake" Maya said againAria rubbed her eyes. She yawned as she felt the comfort in her body. She had just realized that she was wearing an oversized black shirt, it was clearly not her size.Her eyes were perfectly round as he remembered last night's delicious passion "Oh my gosh!" Aria covered her chest. She wasn't naked, but as soon as she remembered that moment she felt ashamed.Maya smiled at her, she acted as if she didn't notice anything “You want to take a shower now? You better drink first, your throat feels dry right?” she said"How did you know!" Aria felt the need to be careful to speakMaya took
It's been three days since the incident. Lucas gave a convincing threat, so Carlos gave up and tried to keep his mouth shut. Since then, Carlos has never contacted Aria again. Aria had forgotten everything; she just needed to ensure her days returned to normal. For today, her friends in her class were busy discussing the figure of the man who was the guest lecturer for the day. “Are you sure that man? Gosh, if only I were rich, I would tease him confidently,” said the curly-haired woman sitting before Aria. She was busy discussing the figure of the man with her three friends. Aria and Megan sat behind them, casually listening to the ladies gossip about the upcoming guest lecturer. “Ouch, you girls!” she said Aria shrugged her shoulders. They only care sometimes when there is a guest lecturer. Sometimes, the guest lecturer's way of delivering material could be more exciting, so Aria was never too interested in guest lecturers. "I heard that this man is also close to the son of our
There was no chance for Aria to fight back. Along the way, Aria protested because she didn't want to be obedient, but once she glanced out the window and saw the beauty of the Chelsea Market river from the roadside with her eyes. Aria's thinking also changed. She was fixated on that beauty. "We're staying here tonight!" Lucas said again. The car enters the yard; it's a minimalist house next to the other places. This house was much simpler than Lucas' luxurious house, but the atmosphere was comfortable. "I'll just take a break!" said Alex. Aria crossed her arms over her chest. “What are we doing here?” Lucas had to do research for his business; he needed to spend time at Chelsea Market. He couldn't leave Aria and somehow made his heart yearn to take Aria with him. "We walk around the market until evening, you can buy whatever you want. I will treat you to it.” He said that with the pride he felt inside of him, like how he would spoil Aria with all the treatment she gave him. Mayb
Today, Aria went to college as usual. She enjoyed her days but felt a change in Megan's attitude towards her. Her best friend had been cold to her. Aria had tried to remember what she did and annoyed Megan. She couldn't remember anything, no matter how hard she tried to think. She felt she had done nothing wrong. As a result, she tried to survive until the lecture ended. After college ended, she tried to talk to Megan in the cafeteria. “hey? Is there a problem going on? You don't look in the mood for today,” said Aria. She was first to feel the awkwardness between their relationship. Usually friendship also will not run smoothly. There would always be fights, and Aria knew that she would not be able to replace Megan with any friendship in this world. Megan put down the sandwich and looked at Aria with a shady look. She also didn't mean to be indifferent to Aria, but if she weren't like this, then Aria wouldn't notice anything. She felt a change in Aria's life. They have spent a lon
Lucas never told any of his problems to any woman. He heard Aria's question. The girl asked him slowly anyway. It's just that Lucaas' heart felt pounding at the question. “You know me well. While I also want to know about you well. I think, there's nothing wrong if I ask like this right? Isn't that fair!” Aria showed her smile. Aria had tried to manage her language as best she could. She didn't intend to offend Lucas with her question; rather than that, Aria felt more challenged to have the courage to ask Lucas. She waited for Lucas to react to her question. She didn't press Lucas too much because she didn't want to make Lucas feel uncomfortable. The situation would get better if the communication between them went smoothly. “Why are you suddenly bringing up something like this!” Lucas answered flatly "I asked you so that you would give me an answer, why did you reply to me with a different question?" Lucas still hugged Aria tightly; he was just uncomfortable when this chat was a
Lucas couldn't understand why he was doing this. The tightness he felt pushed him to go this far. He slid out of town, quite far from Aria. He stayed at the hotel; it was not difficult for him. This was the first time he had left Aria in such a quarrelsome atmosphere, but he had to do it because his heart couldn't hold it in no matter what. How could Aria ask about the photo? The events of the past were too painful. Aria couldn't understand what Lucas was feeling right now, but he also couldn't blame Aria for everything that happened. Lucas didn't give any explanation either. “Sir, are you sure you want to do this? I mean, you better rethink every decision you make.” From across the street, Alex called Lucas. Alex should have gone into detail about everything. He was keeping an eye on Aria like he usually did. Aria ran out of the house, still in her pajamas. Alex only needed to order his men to monitor Aria's movements from afar. "I can't think straight right now, Alex!" Lucas sai
