It was clear that if he was the center of attention, Lucius was the most shining man here, the most potential man to be made a husband. All the girls were envious of Riley, especially Lucius holding her hand and talking with a smile.Another businessman came up to them, he looked at Riley and glanced at Lucius curiously. Just in that way alone, he had asked Lucius for an explanation."She is Riley, the woman who rejected me," Lucius spoke casually, he didn't mind at all with the reactions of everyone who heard them in utter disbelief.They looked Riley up and down again and again. After all, what advantage did this woman have that made her reject Lucius? Riley pinched Lucius, she wanted to be able to escape from here, but she couldn't. Come on. Riley wanted to calm down and thought this was a secret between them. The women who heard that were displeased and grew even more displeased with Riley.Riley could see their lips pointed forward and Riley suddenly smiled.“Lucius loves to joke
In a fast-moving car, the tension is still so thick. Riley couldn't move freely, she was afraid of making Lucius feel worse."Stop."Suddenly Lucius asked the driver to stop. They stopped near a river with beautiful lights. Lucius immediately got out of the car and exhaled.Riley caught up to Lucius, who was touching his head while looking down.When he realized Riley was beside him, Lucius looked the other way. “You told me to stop because you still love him? You don't want him to get hurt?"Don't know what Lucius was thinking, everything seemed to collide so much that it was hard for him to think clearly. Riley held his hand, the woman's hand felt cold and immediately worried Lucius."I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about you, Lucius. You are Lucius, a great man who owns a great business. Why do you have to make a bad name for yourself just because of a trash guy like him?”Riley said honestly, that sincere look in her eyes making Lucius gasp. He hugged Riley as he rubbed Ril
He really likes to be the center of attention, even when he's not doing anything, he has become the center of awareness itself.He had just finished a meeting with a businessman from another country, he was now in a restaurant in this hotel. The large tall buildings made him wholly uneasy.“Mr. Lucius, here is today's report on the crash in the Anderson family stock. Their new business has also experienced heavy inflation.”Abriel provides a report that is in a tab.“Some of my enemies are trying to get close to him, right?”Lucius stared at Abriel, he knew very well that it was an opportunity for others who hated him. Abriel nodded his head, he had done an excellent report. Several names tried to approach Mike in the report that Lucius had not read.“Send spies there, trying to destroy it from the inside would be so much fun.” Lucius smiled, he had shown his fearsome fangs and Abriel knew what Lucius wanted would come true.**The Carson family, currently the head of the family, is s
His arrival at Riley's office made her happy, he stopped and surprised Riley. The large bouquet of flowers in his hand drew all gazes toward him.Just when she wanted to get out of her room and immediately go home with a sore body, she took a bouquet of flowers given by Lucius."I just stopped by here for a moment.""Stop by?" Riley still didn't quite understand what Lucius was saying."Are you disappointed that I wasn't with you long?" Lucius saw the movement of Riley's hand, who had taken the bouquet. He smiled a little.“No, just a little surprised you stopped by here. Is there something you want to tell me, Lucius?" Riley looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hands, the red color of the roses and their fragrance made it hard to avert her eyes."Just giving you flowers and good night wishes to a beautiful woman."They walked, no one else wanted to interrupt their time together. The two of them got into the elevator, which was now going down."Tonight, I'm leaving," Lucius said wi
The busy days made her a little overwhelmed by the existence of Lucius, who for the past two months, had always been trying to get close to her. When she wasn't doing anything, Riley would remember Lucius for a moment.Many extraordinary things happened between them. Riley thought Lucius was very different from what was reported in the mass media. The figure of a person who is arrogant, stubborn, and haughty. Alright, she agreed with Lucius' stubbornness. Over and over again, she refused Lucius' wishes, and the man would not listen to her."You were there long enough, it's almost a week since we didn't meet, right?" Riley asked herself. She tilted her head. Trying to relax her mind for a moment. Her eyes felt dry from staring at the screen before her for too long.Her phone vibrated on the table, she deliberately put it on vibrate mode only. The name written on the screen made her smile faintly.“Wow, you do seem to have a sixth sense, huh? Or could it be that you have a hidden camera
When Riley woke up an hour later, her body was much more relaxed. She gave a small smile when she saw Serra, who was waiting for her with a bright face.“Miss Riley, you woke up yourself without me even waking you up. You sleep very well?” asked Serra and she corrected her sitting position."Yes, a pretty good sleep, even if it's short. I was defeated, taking a short nap isn't bad. Now I think I can take on much of the work that comes my way.”She said because she felt her body lighter. What amazed her the most was that her legs, which had felt so stiff before, weren't even stiff anymore.“You will only do the work that comes in today, I hope you don't overdo it. It's not good for you.”Serra showed her caring attitude towards the figure in front of her. She smiled and then continued to help Riley, who was trying to stand up, she was happy when Riley could walk properly without showing a hint of pain.Riley took a black bag and held it quite tightly.“I'm ready to go to the boutique n
Riley followed the sound she heard until she was in a distant part of this building. It was dark, her footsteps stopped, and Riley looked in front of her a few times with her hands squeezed.She stared at what was in front of her, it was hard to determine precisely what was going on there.“Ugh...”The moaning sound sounded again, Riley's body just moved. She ran past the many large columns in the passage and finally found the figure of a man lying on the ground with blood running down his chest."Sir! Sir! Hang on!” Riley held him, she checked the pulse of the man who felt so weak and she was frantically looking for help. The dress she was wearing was torn and full of red blood.Hazelnut-colored eyes opened quickly, the bright light blinding her for a moment. Riley closed her eyes again, they were watery, not used to the bright light.“Ah... Really... Why do I remember such a stiff incident?” Riley exhaled while keeping her eyes closed. After a few seconds passed, she opened her eyes
Riley looked down at her hands as she walked into her office building. She bought a thick sandwich, even though she had eaten it with food filling her stomach."What do I think?"Riley said that as if rejecting what she was doing right now. But she unwrapped the bread and ate it quickly, the people who saw what Riley was doing could only bow and greet her.The sandwiches she bought during the trip had run out even before she reached her room. Serra had been waiting for her and hot coffee was already on her table."Miss Riley, there is an investor meeting at 10 am."Riley listened to her carefully, Riley opened her files that were on the table, looked at the files that had piled up and she relaxed her body for a while."Is there a problem, Miss Riley?"“There is,” Riley answered offhandedly, surprising Serra. She was looking forward to what Riley would say next.“Oh, I have a bit of trouble sleeping.” Riley immediately explained so the woman in front of her would not have that panicked
