It may take me some time to love again," she confessed, her words swallowed by the darkness."I'll wait," Lucas promised, turning towards her, he gently pulled her over to face him, his long fingers interlacing with hers in the dim light.

The soft material simultaneously embrace every of her curve. A wicked smirk graced her lips as she slid into the thong underwear that accompanied the lingerie, throwing on a nightgown for cover. She sauntered to the couch.Curling up on the plush bedroom sofa, she listened to the rhythmic tap of Lucas's typing in the adjacent room. She may have drifted off because when she shifted and opened her eyes, Lucas stood before her, observing her slumber."

Emma nodded in agreement, "Have you considered delegating some of your workload to your personal assistant? I understand that you have been consistently working late, and this is not the first occasion.""My company assistant already has a heavy workload. I need another person to assist me. That's why I suggested you come work for me as my personal assistant, i will pay whatever you request for. With you by my side, I can greatly reduce the stress," Lucas told her, his gaze imploring her to accept his offer.

Besides, I have an interview to attend first. It would be best if we didn't end up working toget

She had her own troubles as well, she knew what it feels like to be betrayed, what differentiate hers from lucas is that she had chosen to go the extra mile with hers, intending to inflict pain on Trevor.

If I had known, I never would have brought it up," Antonio apologized, taking a seat beside them."It's okay. It's on me. I've been a terrible friend, neglecting to check up on you," Lucas sighed. He knew it wasn't Antonio's fault. He was just tired of people constantly bringing up his past, as if opening a wound that was already beginning to heal. It was painful."I tried calling you, Lucas. It never went through. I thought I had offended you or you had blocked me from reaching you, until I found out you had moved to New York," Antonio explained, providing further explanation

Her eyes opened wide as she jolted from her pillow, quickly wiping away any remnants of sleep. She carefully cleared her throat, signaling her attention and concealing her shock.But then, her memory came to her rescue. She had not given her personal number to him, so how was he able to reach her so swiftly?"Hi, I must admit I wasn't anticipating your call, especially since you don't have my number," Emma greeted with a sugary tone, masking her disdain."I have my methods, Emma," Ethan Maddox chuckled, his resonant voice vibrating through the phone.
