Avery sighed. "Yes, it's a contract offer from Lord Ercole himself, and he chose my rose over Sara's. What do you want to do about it? Do you want to try and revoke it?" A proud smirk curled her lips before she rolled her eyes. "Not like you can revoke it anyway!"Meanwhile, Luca's gaze drifted to Sara, and her face had gone pale. She bent her head, trying to avoid eye contact with her mother and sister. She was picking at her meal bit by bit, unlike her usual vibrant demeanor at the dining table.At this point, Luca knew that Blue had given the contract offer to the wrong person - he had clearly asked her to give it to the eldest daughter, and she had ended up giving it to Avery instead. Trying to compose himself, he drew out the chair next to Sara and settled into it. He whispered a greeting to her, but she didn't reply.In truth, Sara's heart was boiling with anger that she had lost the contract, and it was given to Rose instead, pushing her a step ahead in the race to be the heir t
On the other end of the call, Blue's face was plastered with a deep frown as she announced, "I'm very sorry, Miss Rose Edward, but your exclusive contract with Lord Ercole has been revoked with immediate effect!"Gasps ripped through everyone's lips, except Luca's. The room fell into a heavy silence, as if everyone was holding their breath in collective surprise. It felt like the world had stopped for Rose - the words hit her like a lightning bolt."Wh-wh-what do you mean?" she stammered, her voice laced with disbelief. "That can't be! That can't happen! Why would he want to revoke it barely twenty-four hours after I signed the contract?""I'm sorry, ma'am, but I just got orders that your contract should be revoked with immediate effect!"Rose glanced around, blinking rapidly, as if trying to bring the world back to focus after the unexpected revelation. "What do you mean by that? Why would my contract be revoked? What did I do wrong?""I'm sorry, Miss Rose, but I'm not privy to that
He went straight to Sara's room. Thankfully, she didn't lock him out tonight, so he slipped in. He found her on the bed, her face pale and grim, as she lay there engrossed in her phone.Immediately, as she saw Luca, she rose from her bed. "You are just so useless!" she sneered."I thought you would even be useful to me for once in your life, but I guess I was wrong! How could you not chop in words for 'rose' and 'big' for me?"The atmosphere suddenly changed and charged with anger. Luca looked at her. "Look, Sara, it's not my fault that..." His tone was very calm as he tried to reason with her, but she rudely interrupted him."Shut up! What else would you have said? Huh? It's not your fault that I didn't get the contract, but you claim to be the HR of the company. Why can't you do the most basic thing and help me get the damn offer!"Luca said calmly, "Sara, calm down. You can always try again some other time, besides, Lord Ercole just revoked your sister's contract!" He announced.He
At Apple's club.About three hours later, Sara was standing in her office at Apple's Club. Her staff were all standing in front of her, their faces buried to the floor, and no one dared to speak while she yelled at them."What do we call this?" she shouted, her voice laced with venom. "Just a night that I didn't come to the club, and you all turned my club into something else! I am utterly disappointed in all of you!" She snarled, her eyes wandering around each and every one of them, from the half-naked male dancers to the female strippers who were only clad in bikini outfits that showed more of their bodies.She looked at her PA and let out a deep, disappointed sigh. "How could you let this happen?""Madam!" her PA tried to give an explanation, but Sara rudely interrupted her. "Shut it up!" she yelled."What do you want to say, bitch? What is it that you want to say that would justify what happened here? How will you allow two of them to fight to the extent that the cops had to come
"Yes, you can let her in!" Luca said with a warm smile.He quickly arranged his office in anticipation of Sara. Why was she coming to his office?Soon the door slid open and it was Blue who helped Sara into the office. She carefully pushed her wheelchair into the office where Luca was. As he watched her, he felt his heart flutter in his chest. What was really happening to him?After she helped Sara in, Blue quickly bowed out and left the two of them alone in the office.Sara raised her gaze to him, but she avoided eye contact. She was feeling a bit shy, and she wanted to tell him that she had gotten the contract, but little did she know that he already knew about the contract even before she was called to come and sign it.She wheeled herself to the middle of the office. She couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of the place. The office looked so expensive, unlike what she had envisioned for someone like Luca to be in, but she just waved it aside. She didn't come here to admire his
Luca quickly picked up his phone. He was boiling with anger. The one genuine time he would have had a good conversation with Sara, Larosa ripped him off his chance, and now she even thinks he is cheating. He wanted to dial Larosa's number when she rushed into his office.Once he saw her, he slowly dropped his phone and addressed her."How many fucking times do I need to tell you that you should always call me before you come to see me?!" He shouted angrily.Her brows furrowed in confusion as she stood in momentary silence, watching him yell at her. "What do you mean, Luca? I was just passing by, and I decided to just stop by since you were here," she tried to reason with him, but Luca wasn't having any of it. He has craved intimacy with Sara for a long time, and the most genuine time he got to have a healthy conversation with her, away from home, Larosa has succeeded in ruining it.However, Larosa stood there. She felt her heart break, seeing Luca shouting at her in such a manner for
He made his way into the mall dressed in just some shorts and a t-shirt. It wasn't far from his house, so his dress code wasn't a problem. He walked into the boutique and was amazed by how good it looked. He was marveled by the exterior, and even the interior was a million times better.He made his way to where the sales representative was. Immediately, one of them spotted him, and she quickly flashed him a soft smile and greeted, "Good afternoon, sir. You are welcome to the D&G boutique!""What do you need, sir? Just name them; this is the home for all accessories, and they are authentic ones," the lady explained assuringly.Luca smiled. "I need some gym shoes and wears for my upcoming fitness journey!"The lady responded, "We have lifting shoes, cross-training shoes, outdoor trail running shoes worth around $99-$150!""We also have some shoes by companies like
Chapter 94. Superhero role 01.Luca didn't flinch. He held firm to the man's arm, refusing to let go even as the man struggled to pull away. The crowd watched in shock - they had thought this was simply a disciplinary action for the woman who had stepped on the man's shoes, but they didn't expect someone else to intervene."Whoa, is that her husband or maybe boyfriend?" one person asked curiously."Who knows. Either way, they're both in trouble!" another responded.The woman herself was also stunned to see someone stand up for her. She watched as the man fought to free himself from Luca's powerful grip, but to no avail."Hey, mister, I won't let go of your hand unless you promise to let the lady go if you're given freedom!" Luca said firmly, tightening his grip.The man was beginning to feel pain, but he didn't want to show it. He swallowed the discomfort, unwilling to let his ego be bruised by appearing weak."Should I let her go?" The man raised his face to Luca and sneered. "Do you
