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
Riley placed the red invitation card on her desk. She stared for a few seconds, then looked at her phone. She felt empty after Mdam Lyla left her boutique."You're taking Mr. Lucius there, Miss Riley?" Serra suddenly spoke up and her words shocked Riley.She turned around and saw Serra working on some of the designs scattered on the table. She looked so gentle and calm, her eyes moved and she saw Riley staring at her, confused.“Lucius is busy overseas. I don't know when he'll be back."Serra smiled slightly at Riley's words. It's quite a pity because it seems Riley wants to invite Lucius."So, who are you going with?""If not alone. Of course, with you."Serra had expected that answer, it would be a shame if Riley went alone. Her name recently became famous because of Mike's and Lucius' affairs.Everyone gossiped about her at almost every opportunity. A man as great as Lucius is very attractive, and her lousy past is often linked to bringing Riley down. For example, how great is Mike
Lucius finally manages to get Riley to come home with him. He asked Abriel to leave his car immediately and took Riley.“You must be exhausted, Lucius. I could go home alone, but you forced me to go home with you instead."Riley sat quite relaxed in the car, her words very different from what she was doing now."Long time no see you. A bit of tiredness doesn't hold me back at all.”The two of them sat close together even as Lucius' arm brushed against Riley's arm, a feeling of warmth was felt at that point. Riley then remembered something, she immediately put her hand into her bag and took out a red invitation, she placed it above Lucius' hand.Lucius' eyes looked at the invitation and opened it. "Madam Lyla?"“She is my teacher. I'm going to the fashion show. You want to be my partner or not?" Riley asked Lucius.“Of course, I want. It must be nice to be here.”Riley smiled happily at Lucius' answer. She immediately looked away because she didn't want her smile to be seen by Lucius,
Lucius hugged Riley tightly, their bodies naked and giving off a sticky sensation from the sweat dripping off their skin. Riley opened her eyes, and Lucius' hand made it hard for her to breathe. Riley immediately pushed him aside and caught her breath before she got off the bed."I did it again?" Riley muttered to herself, it was hard for her to understand why she was acting like this. Even though she was sure, she was no longer tempted by what Lucius was doing. The man beside her was still sleeping, he looked so sound and innocent."This is normal for you, not for me." Riley ignored her uneasy feelings. And try to spend the day in peace. Lucius slowly opened his eyes when she had just finished putting on her clothes. He saw Riley, who was wearing a white shirt very elegantly."What are you going to do, Riley?""Work.""It's better to spend time with me, right?" Lucius smiled. He patted the bed a few times and Riley tilted her head slightly.“You do need to rest, Lucius. You're so tir
He had returned to his home, and everyone there was worried about him not coming home soon. Albert helped Lucius walk, wearing a suit with a different brand. Albert was suspicious of what Lucius was doing.“Is everything okay when I go abroad?” Lucius plopped down on the couch and made his palms cover his eyes. Only a slight feeling of calm could make his smile softly.He was indeed tired, but he held his ground in front of Riley and made it seem as if he was joking. Due to an injury from his past, Lucius experiences an effect that often occurs when he is too tired. He never wanted anyone else to know about his condition. It could make other people who want to get rid of him act more aggressively. All this time, he has survived by showing himself to be strong, terrifying to others who try to oppose him. He had never been lenient, which was why he was branded a man with a bad temper.He liked the nickname, and he could easily use the nickname he had to get rid of people he didn't like.
Rikey smiled a little, wearing a dress she had made herself. The black dress that showed her shoulders made her appearance even more charming. She wanted to show Madam Lyla that she appeared in madam Lyla's fashion show with her beautiful dress.After tidying up her moon-shaped headdress, Riley immediately left her room and walked down the stairs.“Riley!” Lucius raised his hand and waved at Riley gently; the smile on his face was charming.Half a day passed without him being able to contact the busy Riley, and now he finally got to see her because he had to go to a party with Riley.Lucius held out his hand, and Riley greeted it gently."You came just in time, Lucius.""Of course, I don't want you waiting, Riley."Riley gave a small smile though not as loose as before. However, Lucius' presence made her feel relieved. She walked with Lucius to the car that was waiting for her."Riley, you look so sweet and beautiful."Lucius gave compliments quickly. From the first time he saw Riley,
Riley was still looking at her hand, and Flora was reluctant to let go. She looked back at Flora, who was glaring at her so intently."Has divorce taught you any lessons, Miss Riley?"Riley corrected her stance, now facing equal footing with the woman who offended hier Even the two of them had never heard of each other, and Flora said something that violated her privacy."You should have kept your word better."Riley looked like she was holding back her emotions, her eyes looked bold, Lucius held her shoulder and Riley glanced at the hand, there was discomfort because Lucius seemed to be holding her back."Yes, because you don't get a good lesson from what you experience. You don't seem to know the pain when someone else takes someone else's property.""What do you mean?"Many people were watching them. Riley didn't want to stop her footsteps and got hooked on Flora instead. She hates being the center of attention, there are a lot of bad things she's ever gotten into when she's the ce
He was wearing an elegant suit, which he was wearing right now was a special edition made by a famous designer. The designer will be happy because the clothes they make are used by one of the great family members in this country.However, no matter what he uses, nothing can beat the figure he has hated since childhood. When they were little, he often heard sentences from his grandfather's mouth about how good Lucius was at handling things.Zayn always tries to surpass Lucius's prowess, but he always loses.When the man disappeared from the Carson family a few moments ago, Zayn felt very happy. He did everything with a smile and his body felt lighter. Only it lasted temporarily.His hair was neatly combed, his steady and confident footsteps masking his disbelief. The black door in front of him had opened, and he looked at the face of an older woman with an annoyed expression."Mother, have you told grandfather about Lucius?""Your mother has said it, but you don't care." Bella put down
