Tina and Bram were so shocked by what had just happened that they couldn't move from their places for a few seconds because they were so shocked that their son, whom they had always been proud of, would ignore them like this."Why is Patrick like that?" he spoke in disbelief, and his voice trembled. Tina squeezed his hand, and she and Bram strolled towards Patrick, who ignored them earlier.Patrick had come here in a hurry after he heard that the vital guest they wanted to see had arrived. Lucas was that guest, and he had to welcome him immediately and respectfully."Mr. Lucas, I'm sorry that I just arrived. Have you been waiting long?" the man asked Lucas with a smile. He tried to be as calm as possible to avoid making a mistake.Lucas nodded. He noticed the man in front of him. "I just came."Patrick could breathe easier after hearing what Lucas said, it meant he wasn't too late, and things would be fine. A smile spread across Patrick's face. "Alright, Mr. Lucas, we can go to the ro
Patrick sat down, three people were sitting, and there was only one person who had that cold-eyed stare that was so frightening to the others.Alec was Patrick's boss, the owner of this place. He cleared his throat momentarily as Lucas didn't speak at all. "Mr. Lucas, you are the owner of Poseidon." He said in such a careful manner.Lucas nodded his head. The building in the ocean was named Poseidon, acting like he was a god in the sea. It stood out marvellously."I've come here to see if you're still fit to care for Building Construction matters." Lucas was assessing them seriously.Patrick and Alec looked at each other, knowing this could not go unpunished. This project had a lot of money, and rich people like the one in front of them could buy whatever they did, including choosing another company.Alec couldn't let this opportunity slip away. With determination visible on his face, he spoke. "We can do well, sir. Now it's just a matter of waiting for your orders."Inside this room,
In the 15th century, wars were frequent. They fought for power, territory, treasure and women. All of that had been the underlying nature of the wars fought over the centuries.One Kingdom would attack another. And the fighting always resulted in chaos elsewhere.The Eldies were a noble family of the Britannia Royal family. Still, since the victory of the Britana Royal family in the 18th century, the Eldies were said to have all but disappeared. Some say they were purged, and some say they deliberately disappeared because they didn't want to be involved in the Kingdom anymore.They thought of themselves and their greatness above all others.Lucas was currently yawning; he had been reading for four hours without stopping, and it was making his eyes tired,He took a breath for a moment. "I need to rest for a while." He had reached his decision.Lucas put down the book he had held earlier, placed it carefully beside him, and immediately looked for a comfortable sleeping position. Sleepin
The two women who saw Lucas' action opened their mouths slightly. They attentively did not avert their eyes."You... let go!" Francis shouted, pulling his body up, and Lucas let go of his hand at the right time, almost making Francis fall down.He sighed harshly at this, but the unpleasant situation happened again. The two women who were watching him suddenly clapped their hands. Their expressions were happy when they saw Lucas."That's amazing. This guy is great, Diella." Inna looked at Diella excitedly.Diella also nodded her head. "That's right. He can twist this uncivilized man." They both looked at each other and chuckled.The actions taken by these two women were tantamount to hurting his pride. Francis' face reddened even more, she felt she was being betrayed by the woman who was supposed to defend her."You shouldn't be like this. You know I'm your lover, not him!" while looking at Diella, she pointed at Lucas. With this kind of pressure, Diella should have felt guilty about h
The two women watched Lucas. They were pretty surprised by Lucas's attitude. The other men would probably tell him their names immediately because they were eager to get acquainted with beautiful women like Diella and Inna."Look at that man, Diella. He looks so different compared to the other guys." Inna nudged her shoulder a few times. Even now, they were becoming more interested in this man.The smile on Diella's face also made it clear how interested she was in this man. "He wants to be mysterious. Well, now we'd better get going." She took Inna's hand, surprising her because they could have stayed there to enjoy the time and look for opportunities to be with this man.Inna pressed her lips together slightly. “Fine, if that's what you want.” She exhaled, managing not to get too upset about the situation.Diella looked at Lucas for a moment. “We'll be going. Thanks for your help.” She smiled and quickly left.As for Lucas, he was still enjoying his time by finishing the drink in hi
Ivy bravely did something like that because she was so tired of dealing with stalkers who always made her life difficult. Being an actress, of course, she knew what was happening to her, but she also wanted to have a quiet life.Now, she looked at the handsome man in front of her. He was very unpleasant, but if he was also a stalker, it was very unpleasant. When someone else suddenly appeared here, her body immediately jerked, and she was so upset about it.Her eyes bulged, and she looked flushed. "Disgusting. You did something very shameful in your life." Her grip was firm.Lucas released the grip easily. The woman was surprised by Lucas's actions, especially his cold gaze, which made Ivy's seedlings unable to close."You seem to really like accusing others, miss." Lucas patted his hands a few times as if he was dusting them off.Lucas had guessed that the woman in front of him seemed to be the artist some people had been talking about earlier, although he himself didn't know anythin
The two men struggled and then pulled their hands apart with the pain in their hands.The two men stared at Lucas with hatred inside them. Watching the man. Now, Jery raised his hand to point at Lucas. "You don't know how we feel. You should understand that we admire Miss Ivy so much that you should give us a chance to be with her."Her eyes looked even more unfocused, from such a close distance there was a strong smell of alcohol. "We just wanted to say hello." She licked her lips slightly.Hugo smiled there and could still watch Ivy from top to bottom. Her body was so shapely that many men would fall in love with her. With that small face and straight hair, she looked like a goddess,This was an opportunity step that others would not want to miss the chance to talk to Ivy. However, from this woman's previous actions, it was obvious that she must have been very distressed by this situation. It must have happened many times."You'd better leave now." Ivy looked back at Lucas, the man
The man who attacked from behind did not lower his strength at all. He stared at Lucas with sharp, emphasized eyes. His hands were now shaking from the battle of strength between them.He realized that the man in front of him was strong, but he didn't want to be afraid or give up."People like you are so embarrassing. You are completely shameless and bastards!" Coen said in a heavy and trembling voice as he was still in a power struggle with Lucas.Lucas looked at him. "You're the asshole." He added a force that pushed the man until there was finally a bit of distance between them.With cold eyes sharpening on each other, the two of them would return to the attack again as they had strong determination.At that moment, Ivy immediately jumped up and was in the center, with both hands stretched out. She looked at both of them simultaneously. "Stop it!"Coen, who was looking at Ivy, was shocked by her actions. He knew that she had a soft heart. But he should also know that she had been t
