Chapter 1171

Author: Love Berries
Lucas’ face was deadly serious.

Aurora’s heart gave a jolt, and she quickly waved her hands. “No, no—it’s fine. I won’t ever go to places like that again. Tomorrow I’ll be busy with work anyway.”

“And what kind of work are you planning to do?” Lucas asked smoothly.

If he knew her plans, he could quietly help from behind the scenes, making things easier for her.

Pinned between him and the door, Aurora felt the heat of the moment turn strangely intimate, only for him to bring up business with a straight face.

Her head throbbed.

“Um… how about after I take a shower, we can talk about it then?” she asked hesitantly, her eyes searching his.

She really was exhausted and had no desire to get into it right now.

But Lucas acted as though he couldn’t see her fatigue. His arm slid around her waist, pulling her flush against him.

Aurora’s lips parted in alarm. “What are you doing?”

Her voice carried a hint of panic.

“What am I doing?” His hand traced along her slender back, every place he touched

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 1216

    Daniel saw it as clearly as glass—Joseph wouldn’t have come here at this time if it weren’t about the project.Luckily, before Joseph arrived, he had already gone to ask Aurora about it.All he needed to do now was find someone suitable.But Lucas had made one thing clear: this project could go to anyone, except Joseph.That was what left him stuck in such a bind.“This project hasn’t even entered the bidding phase yet. Mr. Hunt, you’ll have to wait for further notice,” Daniel said smoothly, his words polished and watertight.Joseph nearly laughed out of frustration at his response.So, all the gifts he’d sent over before—were they just thrown into the sea?No matter what he did, Daniel still refused to work with him.Joseph understood perfectly now.He looked Daniel straight in the eye. “So, all those things I gave you before—are you just planning to turn your back on me?”“That’s not my intention at all,” Daniel said quickly, waving a hand. “Even if this project doesn’t end up in yo

    “Yes, yes, Mr. Hunt. Today Mr. Lewis came back a little earlier,” the receptionist said with a flattering smile.Joseph gave a slight nod. “Good. I’ll head up then.”“Of course, same private elevator as before.” The receptionist made sure to direct him to Daniel’s exclusive lift, separate from the employees’ elevators.If Tessa had seen this, she probably would’ve exploded.Why should Joseph be treated so differently?They were both here to discuss cooperation, and neither had an appointment.Yet Joseph walked in without the slightest difficulty.But by then, Tessa was long gone.Back home, she immediately began working on ways to reach Daniel’s secretary and secure an appointment.She hadn’t expected the receptionist to be so rigid, giving her no leeway at all.Rules might be fixed, but people were flexible—except that receptionist clearly wasn’t.Upstairs, Joseph pushed open the office door.He could hear Daniel humming to himself, clearly in high spirits.Joseph couldn’t help remark

    Tessa lifted the folder in her hand and gave it a little shake. “I’m here to see Mr. Lewis.”“Do you have an appointment?”“Appointment?” Tessa frowned. “I’m from Walton Corporation. I’ve spoken with Mr. Lewis before about this project. I’m here today to finalize the signing.”She was relying on what Aurora had once told their mother—that the project had already been settled. So, she figured she could slip in under that pretense.But the receptionist wasn’t buying it.If anyone had come to sign a contract, Daniel would have given prior notice. Since she hadn’t heard anything, it was clear the woman in front of her was lying.“I’m sorry, miss, but we require an appointment,” the receptionist said firmly. “Without one, I can’t let you through.”“Why not? If you don’t believe me, call Mr. Lewis down here!” Tessa snapped.She couldn’t accept being brushed off. As far as she knew, the project still had room to be secured. Yet being stopped in the lobby like this made her feel humiliated.Th

    No, to put it another way—he could find someone suitable.After settling this matter, Daniel’s mood improved greatly.When his secretary came in with water, she immediately noticed how different he seemed compared to the past few days. Even the way he looked at her carried a gentler expression.Unable to resist, she asked, “Mr. Lewis, did something good happen recently?”“Of course,” Daniel replied with a smile. “Just handle the tasks I’ve given you properly. If you’re good, I’m good, and everyone benefits.”The secretary’s face turned a little awkward.She had thought she could take advantage of his good mood to get closer to him.But now it didn’t seem possible at all. Something about Daniel felt different—less easy to manipulate.He hadn’t been like this before, had he?She grew uncertain, but because of what he’d just said, she didn’t dare push too far.“Then… Mr. Lewis, will you be free tonight?” she asked, giving him an ambiguous look, her tone clearly an invitation.Daniel swal

    “If your project can’t wait, then I suggest you work with another partner. You can’t let everything be held up just because of me.”Hearing this, Daniel was genuinely moved.He had expected Aurora not to understand, but instead she turned out to be far more considerate than he imagined.“Miss Walton, just hearing you say that puts me at ease.”As he spoke, his eyes even welled with tears.Seeing him like this left Aurora a little at a loss. She hadn’t done anything extraordinary—only said what needed to be said. Why was he so emotional about it? The thought made her feel a bit puzzled.“Mr. Lewis, are you alright?”“I’m fine,” Daniel answered seriously. “I’m just touched. What you said really makes sense. I never expected to meet someone with such an open heart. Clearly, the people I’ve dealt with before were far too narrow-minded.”“This is only what I should do,” Aurora replied, taking a sip of coffee. “Besides, it was my family’s situation that delayed you. I can’t let you should

    Hearing that, Daniel began to hesitate.He was caught between both sides.“This…” He scratched his head awkwardly, clearly at a loss.Aurora noticed his conflicted look and couldn’t quite understand why, but she still spoke plainly. “Mr. Lewis, I can see the position you’re in. There’s actually a simple solution—just follow your heart. Who is it you truly want to work with?”“Who I want to work with… really depends on your attitude, Miss Walton.” The words slipped out of Daniel’s mouth before he could stop himself.Aurora froze, not reacting at first.“Mr. Lewis, what do you mean by that?”Meeting her questioning gaze, Daniel instantly regretted what he had said. If she picked up on it, wouldn’t that expose Lucas’s involvement? How would he explain himself later?“I didn’t mean anything,” he said quickly, forcing a laugh. “Like I said before, I value your ability, Miss Walton. From the very beginning, you’re the one I’ve wanted to work with.”Aurora fell into thought, hesitating as wel
