In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 449 I Don't Have a Crush

"Gracie, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Grace didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Caleb, you don't have other ideas about her, do you?"

Caleb finally caught on to what Grace was implying. He smiled and replied, "When did you start inquiring about my personal life?"

Seeing Caleb dodge her question, Grace couldn't help but become anxious. "You don't have a crush on her, do you?"

Caleb flicked her forehead with his finger and scolded, "What are you thinking? Kay is just my junior, nothing more than that."

Grace winced in pain, covering her forehead, and muttered, "Kay! You address her so intimately. Who knows if you're telling the truth?"

Caleb said in exasperation, "Gracie, what can I say to make you believe?"

"I do believe you. However, others might not think the same."

After all, the way Kayla looked at Caleb blatantly revealed their relationship wasn't so innocent.

"Caleb ... I ..."

"Stop, Gracie! What are you trying to say?"

Grace's eyes wandered as she pondered for a while, finally asking the question she had pondered for some time, "Is there someone you like?"

The atmosphere fell silent, and a hint of discomfort flashed across Caleb's face, but he masked his fleeting emotions well.

"No."

His response was simple, without any hesitation.

Grace sighed silently for Lydia. For so many years, she had watched Lydia have feelings for him. But Caleb was clueless. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Gracie, if there's nothing else, I'll go get to work."

Grace hummed in response. "Go ahead!"

As Caleb was just leaving the office, he bumped into Lydia. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stopped, staring at Lydia.

Lydia greeted him first. "You're here too?"

"Looking for Gracie?"

Lydia nodded. Her grip on the strap of her bag tightened. Without saying much, she said, "I'm going in."

Lydia stepped forward, brushing past Caleb.

At that moment, Kayla, who was returning from the restroom, hurried to Caleb's side and took his arm. "Caleb, why don't you show me around?"

Lydia stopped in her tracks when she heard them, but she didn't turn around. Instead, she knocked on the door of Grace's office.

"Come in!"

After getting Grace's response, Lydia pushed the door open and entered. Only after the office door closed did Caleb turn back, looking at the firmly shut door silently.

Kayla was extremely curious and asked, "Caleb, what are you looking at?"

Caleb instinctively withdrew his hand and said, "You should call me Mr. Lewis when we're in the company."

Kayla looked surprised and awkwardly withdrew her hand, looking upset.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Caleb returned to his senses, looking at her with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes. "No. It's just that we should be mindful of our behavior in the office."

Kayla nodded, smiling brightly. "Okay."

Caleb added, "I have something to attend to in a bit, so I can't accompany you. I'll have my assistant show you around later."
