After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

What exactly was their relationship?

Judy clenched her fingers, then said, "Lucas, you still care about Miss Young, don't you? The reason I said that was to provoke her a little. What if she still has feelings for you? Hearing something like that would surely make her jealous and upset. I'm sorry, I overstepped. It won't happen again."

In the dim light, Lucas's handsome face appeared cold and stern, his chiseled features sharp and unyielding. His eyes were devoid of warmth as he looked at Judy.

"Your actions were out of line," he said coolly, giving her no leniency.

Judy's face showed a flash of embarrassment, and she quickly said, "I promise, it won't happen again."

Lucas didn't spare her another glance. He turned to Desmond and said, "Get me a new phone."

He handed his phone to Desmond, instructing him to transfer the data and switch the SIM card. "Yes, sir."

Desmond took the phone and left.

In the private room, the suited men saw Lucas return and immediately stood to toast him.

"Mr. Tudor, this project wouldn't have succeeded without you. Here's to you!"

Lucas took the central seat, exuding an effortless aura of cold, noble elegance. He raised his glass and drank with them, but his mind lingered on Judy's words.

"If she still cares about you, hearing something like that would surely make her jealous and upset..."

Recalling Aveline's cold demeanor, a deep sense of irony flickered in Lucas'

eyes.

She was heartless. How could she feel jealousy or sadness? She'd be happiest

if he never appeared in her life again.

Selena emerged from the media room and saw Aveline standing on the balcony, lost in thought. Her slender figure was wrapped in a thin knit sweater, and her long hair flowed down her back, catching the breeze and adding to her sense of melancholy.

"Aveline, sweetheart," Selena called, walking over to hug her.

Aveline asked, "Finished the movie? Was it good?"

Selena grumbled, "Without you by my side, even the best movie feels like garbage."

Aveline smiled wryly and said, "It's late. Why don't you stay here tonight?"

"Sure!" Selena agreed happily!

But just then, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and cursed under her breath.

"Hello?" she answered.

Aaron's casual voice came through, "I reviewed the blueprints. Isn't there a design flaw in one area?"

Selena's face darkened. "Who's

Aaron chuckled. "I'm paying you to design my house. I'm your client. Is this how you treat your clients? If you don't want to design it, fine, just pay the breach of contract fee and you'll never hear from me again."

Selena closed her eyes, trying to keep her cool. "I'm off work now. We can discuss this tomorrow."

Aaron insisted, "No, I'll forget by tomorrow."All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Great," she thought, "if only he would forget."

Selena suggested, "Then record it on your phone and send it to me tomorrow."

Aaron replied, "My phone doesn't have that feature."

Selena fumed. "What do you want from me?"

Aaron chuckled. "Come over now, and I'll tell you in person."
