Louis was quite surprised that his twin brother's ability was truly extraordinary. Even though he gave three thick documents with many sheets of data on the people there in full, Lucas could memorize everything in just two hours."Wow, amazing." Louis raised both eyebrows. "I probably won't train to doubt your ability. Well done." He nodded. "Then, hurry up, rest, and get ready to go there tomorrow."Lucas nodded. He obeyed his twin brother's words and then walked out of Louis' room, leaving the man to take his medicine and get some rest.The next morning, Lucas woke up with a slightly sore body. He stretched his muscles, then hurried to clean up and prepare for Louis' assignment.After getting dressed, Lucas walked out of the room and was greeted warmly by the servants, especially by Chris."Good morning, Master." Chris bowed his head, greeting Lucas. "Mr. Louis is waiting for you in the dining room."Lucas nodded. He immediately approached his twin brother and had breakfast while ta
Lucas looked at the woman. "No, no, no. I have business here."Alicia's brow furrowed, looking at Lucas with her head tilted slightly to the right. "Are you sure?" She scrutinized Lucas' face closely. "Either you're mistaken, or you've been following me since the plane, huh?"Alicia raised the volume of her voice, still annoyed and upset by the incident on the plane. She felt that their meeting was a coincidence and that he was following her. Lucas, however, ignored her, walking past her first, which annoyed Alicia."Hey, I'm not done talking to you yet." Alicia followed Lucas from behind. "You know what, I've never seen you here. So, it's only natural that I should be suspicious of you."Alicia was friendly, whereas before, she had been rude and accused Lucas of following her. Although her words were still a little snappy, they entered the hotel together.Lucas glanced at Alicia, casually responding to Alicia's words. "Do you stay here every day?""No, but I stay here often." Alicia
"Get out of here!" Alicia raised her hand, telling Lucas to get out of there in a loud and forceful tone.Lucas looked at the woman with a colder look than before. "If you interfere with your father's work, he might get into trouble."Suddenly, Lucas' words made Alicia's eyebrows knit together. "Trouble?" Alicia chuckled as she folded her arms across her chest. "What trouble are you talking about, huh? My father is a great, great businessman. He's extraordinary, and people respect him. No one can do anything to him. Especially you!" He pointed at Noah's face in a loud voice. "You can't do anything to my father. Who are you anyway?"Alicia had met many of her father's clients over the years, and every time they met, they were always respectful of Smith. That's why Alicia was so confident that no one would do anything bad to her father, including Lucas, who didn't even look like a great man. "You might regret it later because your father lost his valuable job." Lucas put a little empha
The woman folded her arms in front of her chest, showing pride. In her heart, she kept saying that what Lucas said would never happen because her father was such a great person."Ouch, you're such an annoying person." Alicia opened her voice again to mock Lucas. "If you just want to trick us, you're wrong. We won't easily believe you just because of that." Alicia chuckled. "Canceled the job, he said." She snorted in annoyance. "My father won't lose any jobs. What kind of work are you and Dad doing? Yes, my father is very good." She raised her hands proudly. "To the point that he's willing to accept a lowly job that's small and has no benefits from you, right?" She was still not finished there. Her eyebrows shot up. "And I'm sure you used that as an opportunity to get your hands on my father's estate because you're such a good con artist."Alicia didn't believe Lucas at all. Even her remarks towards him had gone so far as to make the receptionist and the hotel staff look at each other,
Of course, what Lucas had just said took Smith by surprise, and he immediately looked at Alicia with a deeply furrowed brow. "Is that true?"Alicia nodded her head. "Yes, Father. It's true." She still felt no guilt about what she had done earlier. "He has underestimated my business prowess." He raised his eyebrows arrogantly at Lucas. "She said I would get into trouble and probably lose my job."Alicia laughed, remembering her earlier conversation with Lucas. She now thought that her father would be very proud and that what he wanted would be easily obtainable because he had saved her father's business from a fraudster like Lucas."He also threatened you earlier, saying you would lose your contract with him. Isn't that very funny? Cooperation with him isn't a big influence on your business, is it? So I just kicked him out because he's not important and has been bothering me since he followed me here." Alicia tried to provoke her father about how she felt about Lucas. "I'm sure he's ju
Alicia was shocked by what Smith had said. She was shocked to hear that because her father had always been gentle and kind. She had a close relationship with her father, but now he wasn't on her side at all, and she thought that meant he was extremely influential.Alicia's head was now spinning, remembering what she had said to Lucas, and the more she remembered, the more her head was spinning. She had said outrageous things to Lucas and had even insulted him severely.Alicia once again swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She stared at Lucas with quivering pupils, finally nodding and bowing in front of Lucas, unwilling to make matters even bigger."I'm sorry, sir," Alicia spoke softly with trembling lips. "I have done you a great wrong. My words earlier were too much. Please forgive me and do not cancel the cooperation with my father."The image in Alicia's head was now focused on the fate of her father's company. If her father lost such a valuable investor, it would also affect the
Lucas looked at the woman with a cold look in his eyes. "What do you want to say?"Alicia bowed her head, putting on a remorseful face with eyes that were still puffy from crying earlier. "I'm really sorry to you for my outrageous actions earlier, especially since I insulted you so badly."Alicia was actually embarrassed to admit her mistake, but she also did not deny that what she had done was outrageous and might even sound heartbreaking to people who were easily offended.Alicia had also reflected on all her mistakes while Lucas was talking to his father. She shouldn't have been so harsh as to accuse Lucas of being a stalker. It opened her heart and made her feel that she had to talk about this further so that her guilt wouldn't linger. That's why he waited for Lucas."I'm really sorry for doing that." Alicia began to raise her head to look at Lucas. "Are you willing to sincerely forgive me?"Lucas only responded to Alicia's words with a nod of his head. Of course, that made Alicia
Of course, this surprised Alicia. Alicia immediately broke away from Lucas and wiped her dirty clothes with the ice cream."Yes, my goodness. It's so cold." Alicia looked at the person who had bumped into her and only saw him with a condescending look. "Don't you use those eyes of yours to see the road? How could you run into us when it's obvious that the road here is extensive."Alicia babbled out her frustration while Lucas took out a handkerchief from his pants pocket and gave it to Alicia.Alicia grabbed the handkerchief Lucas gave her and wiped it on her clothes. She looked at the man in front of her with annoyance. "Why did you just keep quiet instead of apologizing to me?""Ah." The man who had bumped into Alicia rolled his eyes as he sighed. "You still want me to apologize while you scold me like that."Alicia's brow furrowed deeply. "Oh, so what you're saying is that you don't want to apologize?" She lowered her hand, squeezed Lucas' handkerchief, and took a step closer to hi
