Sophia was eager to prove herself. After securing this piece of land, she poured all her efforts and funds into the project.

Once the construction was complete and the nearby subway station was operational, the project would yield immense profits for her. This would also solidify her position within the Winter family.

As Sasha listened to Aveline’s plan, her eyes lit up. “You really are something, Mrs. Tudor.”

Aveline smiled faintly. “I don’t start trouble, but if someone crosses me, I make sure they regret it.”

Sasha nodded. “With you being so open to me, I won’t disappoint you. Leave these parts to me,” she said, pointing to specific items in the documents.

Aveline nodded. “Alright.”

In the private room next door, Aaron walked in and looked at Lucas. “Guess who I saw?”

Lucas, flipping through some documents, replied coldly, “Who?”

Aaron grinned. “Come on, take a guess.”

“Shut up if you’re not going to say,” Lucas retorted.

Aaron clicked his tongue. “You’re no fun. I saw Aveline. She’s right next door.”

Hearing this, Lucas immediately put down his documents. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Aaron teased, “What’s the matter? Planning to go see her? But she’s got company. She probably doesn’t want to see you right now.”

Lucas’s expression darkened. “Company? Who is she meeting?”

Aaron shrugged. “I don’t know. I just saw her go up.”

Lucas stood up to leave.

“Hey, don’t go. You’re being too impulsive. Why rush over just because you heard she’s meeting someone? Didn’t you say she couldn’t control you? If you rush over there, isn’t that exactly what she’s doing?” Aaron said, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

Lucas ignored Aaron completely, pulling the door open and seeing Aveline just as she was leaving the room next door. She paused in surprise at the sight of him, then quickly averted her gaze and walked past him as if he were a stranger.

Lucas was speechless.

He glanced at the private room she had come from, wondering who she was dining with. Just a few steps would reveal the answer, but if Aveline found out, she might get angry. Lucas suppressed his emotions, turned, and headed towards the restroom.

Aveline was washing her hands and touching up her makeup at the mirror when Lucas stood beside her. His hands were under the faucet, and the water automatically flowed down, washing over them. Aveline glanced at his hands and couldn’t resist looking at them again.

His hands were indeed beautiful, with long fingers and distinct joints. He casually washed them and then grabbed a paper towel to dry them. Aveline looked away and started to leave.

“Done looking?” His clear, pleasant voice, tinged with a faint smile, stopped her in her tracks.

Aveline paused, pressed her lips together, and said, “I wasn’t looking.”

“Oh.” Lucas drew out the sound, stepping in front of her and holding his hand up to her eyes, his gaze playful. “Do you like these hands?”

Aveline shifted her gaze from his hand to his face. “Yes, I like them. Would you cut them off for me?” Lucas raised his eyebrows, genuinely surprised by her words. He hadn’t expected her to say something like that.
