His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Caspian, are you making fun of me?" Ivy asked.

"Of course not. This is the first time I've seen so many women interested in Lucas. It's exciting!" Caspian said.

Ivy fell silent.

Caspian elbowed Lucas and said, "You are in luck this year! Feeling troubled?"

Lucas glared at him. "You're overthinking this! Is romance all you think about?"

Caspian flinched. "I'll just keep quiet and watch the drama unfold."

Ivy picked up the jug and poured herself a glass of water.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Caspian immediately handed her his glass. "I want water, too."

Ivy poured him a glass and turned to Lucas. "Do you want water?"

Lucas simply handed her his glass without a word.

As Ivy finished pouring him a glass of water, Missy arrived alone.

Caspian promptly smiled and asked, "Ms. Feake, where's your companion?"

Missy replied, "He's resting at the hotel. I didn't ask him to come."

"Oh! Then I'll have the waiter bring the dishes out now." With that, Caspian signaled the waiter to start serving them.

Missy sat down beside Ivy, smiled at her, and then turned her gaze to Lucas. "Lucas, have you filled out that form yet? Let me know when it's done. You can just send me a photo of it."

"I haven't decided if I want to fill it," Lucas said.

"Why not? My father genuinely wants to invest in you!"

"Then why didn't he come in person to talk to me? If he asked me those questions face to face, I might not be as resistant," Lucas retorted.

"My father's not very mobile, and he

often lets me handle business negotiations. Lucas, do you have any issues with me? If you have any doubts, please be honest with me!" Missy said.

"I don't have any issues with you. It's just that I don't know your father. I'm not familiar with his company, and don't know you either. When you

start by asking about my private ne

matters, it makes me

uncomfortable," he explained.

Missy laughed. "Hahaha! Lucas, why don't you loosen up a little? You can find information about our company online since we are hardly a smal company. We're interested in you

because we see potential in you and

want to get to know you better."

Caspian chimed in: "Ms. Feake, you're absolutely right. You can trust that the form will be filled out and sent to you by tonight."

Missy looked at Lucas with a radiant smile. "Great! I'll be waiting for your update."

Caspian cleared his throat awkwardly, sensing that Missy's attention was solely on Lucas. It was obvious that she was interested in Lucas.

Once the dishes were served, Missy ordered a bottle of red wine. "Lucas, what's your alcohol tolerance like? Care to join me for a drink? Just a little sip for pleasure."

Lucas declined without hesitation. "I don't drink. I have work in the afternoon. Caspian can keep you company; he handles alcohol well."

Holding the wine glass, Missy filled it halfway and handed it to Lucas. "Just have one drink! This bit of wine won't do much to you. Give it a try."

Lucas frowned, having no interest in drinking.

Without a second thought, Ivy snatched the wine glass from Missy. "I'll drink on behalf of my boss!"

Lucas immediately grabbed the wine glass from Ivy and downed the entirety of the red wine in one gulp.

Both Ivy and Caspian watched in surprise, while Missy said effusively, "How impressive!" She then lifted the wine bottle and poured more wine into Lucas' glass.
