"This is very troublesome." She had such a flat expression when talking about that.Her expression became hard when she threw the invitation in her hand. She snorted as this was after the news of her being Lucas Carter's girlfriend had spread.Nolan, who was sitting there, immediately looked at his son. He adjusted the position of his glasses while tilting his head slightly. "You should probably be there, Lora."Lora met her father's gaze with disbelief. Her brow furrowed, and she went back to scratching her head. "Dad, why are you talking like that? Do you know what they did to us? How bad their mouths are when they talk about our family." Lora dropped her butt onto the chair. She caught her breath to keep from drowning the anger inside her.A sweet smile appeared on Nolah's face. She knew that her son was very emotional about the insults they often received. Even though the Felix family was not ordinary, they were mistreated after getting other things. In this situation alone, Lora
That statement had created tension. Everyone stopped their activities and watched the two people who were the source of this tension.Lora looked so relaxed as she looked at the woman who had been trying to defeat her and put her at the bottom. The woman even stiffened up instantly, her body cooling down because she didn't want Lora's words to happen.Previously, she had been so worried that those words would come out of Lora's mouth. She also didn't want to invite Lora to this relaxing tea party. But because of her father's coercion, she was forced to do so, and it was with a very uncomfortable feeling."You don't want to do it because you think you're so much better, and so is your partner, right?" Lora drank tea so casually. She gave the other women a smile that made them smile stiffly. "This tea is delicious."Of course, her action to relax them a little was utterly useless, as they were still feeling the tension and were naturally curious about what would happen next."I certainl
"That's how it happened." Lora was satisfied when she told Lucas everything about today.She had told him earlier that she was coming to Leona's party and had told Lucas what she wanted to do. Now that she had done it, she told him so excitedly.Even the smile was still on her face."You did really well, Lora." Lucas' compliment made her smile appear again. "So, when are we going to meet him?"That made Lora silent for a while. In the fast-moving car, she was considering what to do. "Lucas, it looks like she'll be meeting you at the same place your friends are meeting."Lucas was a very busy man. She couldn't afford to waste Lucas's time on something troublesome. She wanted Lucas not to do something that would trouble him and harm him. It didn't suit him to be responsible for the Carter family."Do you want the meeting to be held simultaneously?"Lora nodded. "That's right. Aren't you okay with that, Lucas?" she was a little worried. It might make Lucas uncomfortable.Lucas, who had b
At the St. Ludwig Café, the four people sitting were silent. The two men sitting close together were observing the man sitting with the beautiful woman with an observant look in their eyes. In their silence, it is evident that she was watching Lucas.Five minutes had passed, but they were still doing something like that. "Just say what you want." Lucas had realized their actions.He was also aware of their desire to meet him, as it was related to the shocking news that had spread.Adam immediately raised his hand, looking at Lucas as he moved his head forward. "Lucas, should we call you sir now?"Lucas tilted his head slightly. Something that surprised and disturbed him a little. He knew that his friend would act a little strangely like this. Before Lucas could reply to Adam's words, Ryan spoke up as if they were identical."If we have to, we probably will. Yes, Mr. Lucas Carter." He pressed further. The heaviness in his voice and the friendship that had been established made Lucas sm
The two men had listened to Lucas' explanation of his company. They showed great enthusiasm about it. They had understood the explanation Lucas had given them and thought it was a great thing to do.In fact, they were too impatient to do what Lucas said. "My servant will see you again to give you the documents."The two people at Lucas' desk, with sparkling eyes, nodded quickly. He could see that they would not disappoint him."Good, Lucas. You'll definitely give me credit." Ryan clenched his fists in excitement.Adam, looking at him with narrowed eyes, did not accept that. "Uh, he'll give me the credit first."Now, their eyes were locked together. They were like enemies. But the person who was the object of conversation quickly broke their will. "I rarely give compliments."Both their high shoulders were now so weak. Indeed, Lucas rarely spoke in praise of anything. He was more introverted and less talkative than them.Their situation might be difficult. Meanwhile, the other guest ha
she was used to something luxurious. Lora was looking forward to the date they were going on. Lucas had taken her to a place she'd never been before, and it had been excellent.Now, it made her heart feel like it was going to explode because it was a place she didn't expect them to go.A hotel.It left Lora speechless and at a loss for what to say from her mouth. "What would he do in a hotel?" she asked, squeezing his hand. "I know that we're engaged. But isn't it too soon...?" she bit her own lip.Her heart felt like it would explode with every step she took. She watched Lucas, who still looked as he always did—too calm and didn't seem too tense to do anything with himself.Lora exhaled from her mouth. "Does he not really want to do it with me? Or is he used to doing this?" she bit her lip when her mind thought of that.Lora unknowingly let her disappointment show. It was evident on her face that the person walking beside her noticed. "Are you not feeling well, Lora?"Lora was surpri
she was busy paying attention to the bracelet she was wearing. A big smile appeared on her face. They walked back after they bought the bracelet that Lora had admired earlier."How come you have so little cash, Lucas?" she wondered. Rich people preferred to use easy things for their transactions, and carrying cash was often overlooked.Tiny denominations of cash like the one Lucas had."I asked you out here. Of course, I've prepared everything." Lucas' answer made Lora instantly speechless. It was true, according to Lucas, that this man was always full of calculations and preparations.His friends also said so. Lora was even more amazed by this extraordinary man.Now, her eyes caught something exciting and something she had just encountered. With a raised hand, she spoke. "What is it, Lucas? They catch fish with nets?" Lora sounded so excited when she said that. She even stepped her foot right over to it.Smiling, she looked in more detail at the fishing she saw earlier. When she look
Tonight was a lovely date for her. And it was going to end soon, so they were heading towards their car, parked quite far away from where they were now.Lora wasn't too happy that it was ending so quickly. The pounding in her heart was still so fast that she might have trouble sleeping. But she couldn't force her will. Lucas would probably have difficulty resting. Since this man was so busy, he must have sacrificed his rest time for her. That alone should make her feel grateful.On this long, quiet road, their footsteps suddenly stopped, immediately making Lora wary. Things like this had happened several times. Although she didn't appear in her own image, she was still beautiful. Lora didn't doubt that her beauty attracted the attention of others.The four men before them clarified that they were village boys and shouldn't behave like this because Lucas knew the village's rules. They had to keep everyone here safe and comfortable.But no matter how the rules were made, others would op
