Mrs Chen stood at the far end of the dining hall, her calculating eyes peering at the couples eating in silence. She wore her usual blank look.

Only the faint noise from cutlery filled the room.

Clarissa kept her head down, slowly spooning the warm soup into her mouth. The room was quiet except for the soft clink of her spoon against the bowl. Lucas sat across from her, typing away on his phone, the contrast from the screen light up his face.

Time passed, but the silence was still hanging between them. Clarissa didn’t look up. She seemed lost in her own world, focused on her food like it was the only thing that mattered. Lucas, on the other hand, who was still holding his wine glass, finally set his phone aside. He leaned back a little, resting one arm on the table.

He glanced at her. His eyes stayed there for a moment longer than they should have. His brow pulled together, not too much, but enough to show something was on his mind. He somehow looked displeased.Clarissa didn’t

    Lucas sat behind his large oak desk, staring at a file he hadn’t really read since he sat there. His fingers drummed against the table as he sat there idly. He was trying not to think about Clarissa, but she had a way of crawling into his thoughts when he least expected.A knock came on the door but he didn’t look up. “Come in.”Justin stepped inside, dressed neatly as always, he was holding a folder in one hand.Lucas glanced at him. “What is it?”“I have an update. From the task you gave me,” Justin said as he approached the desk.Lucas leaned back in his chair, finally giving Justin his full attention. “Go on.”“Clarissa met up with two women this morning,” Justin began. “Isabella and Alissa,those her friends from Kai’s college.”Lucas nodded slowly. “Alright. It’s good she’s reconnecting. She needs it.”Justin hesitated and Lucas noticed. “What?”Justin handed him the folder. “We found something else. Something that might interest you.”Lucas took the folder from Justin and opene

    Scarlet stepped out of the restaurant where she had dined with Lilith, the wind brushed against her arms the moment she came out making her pull her coat tighter around herself. The dinner had gone rather well. Lilith was still under her control and that was a good thing..for now.But just as she turned the corner, she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes remained locked on the man standing few feets away from her.The man named Luke was standing by a parked car, leaning against it like he had all the time in the world, his eyes locked straight on her. He was tall and had that maddening calm on his face. But his eyes were sharp.Scarlet’s breath caught in her throat. She blinked, hoping it was her mind playing tricks on her. But no, he was still standing there in flesh, staring at her.She turned fast and began to walk, no, almost run, along the sidewalk, her heart pounding loudly in her ears.“Scarlet,” he called behind her, his voice was louder than her racing heart. “Don’t run.”

  • Ex-Husband, Beg Me!   Chapter 125.

    Clarissa's eyes didn't leave Mrs Zara Brown from the beginning of the meeting till that moment, not even once. Mrs Brown, whom she always thought was her mother turned out to be just another stranger. She should have realized it sooner, she should have guessed that she was not a relative just from the way she was treated by everyone in the family. It was always there but she failed to figure it out.Clarissa continued to stare at the older woman, like she wanted to catch every flicker that crossed her face and every lie that would slip out of her mouth as if she were a lie detector.Mr Rhodes cleared his throat as he asked. "Mrs Brown, we didn't come here to fight. We came to understand what happened years ago because it doesn't resonate so well. I want to know why my daughter..." his voice wavered for the first time, "...was raised by you. How she ended up here, when she was never meant to be."Mrs Brown's hand trembled around her cup. She set it down slowly with trembling hands.

    "Aunt, you promised! Why do I still see her?? How come she's still living and breathing?!" Scarlet half-yelled from across the table, her eyes bloodshot as she gripped the edge of the table, staring intently at Lilith."I did what I was told," Lilith replied calmly, sipping from her americano. "Whatever happens next is none of my business."Scarlet looked amazed. "Oh really??" Her expression fell, replaced by a tight glare. "If you did a clean job, I wouldn't need to see Clarissa again! But now she's back and walking around like a flag. She...she...she now works with Lucas! Don't you see the severity of this matter??!" "What could possibly happen? Her telling on me? I'm not scared of that." Lilith set her cup down, then she folded her arms across her chest, giving the most relaxed vibe."I'm not even concerned about you either. Even if she rants on you or not, it's not my business. My business is that I want her thousands and hundreds of miles away from my man. I can't risk seeing he

    “Miss Rhodes?” Leta called out carefully, staring in suspicion. “Miss Rhodes.”Seeing that Clarissa was in some sort of trance, Leta dared tap her on the shoulder.Clarissa jolted in shock, her eyes rounded when she saw Leta standing close to her with a worried expression on her face.She had spaced out in the middle of a conversation with Leta, her assistant. “Ma’am, are you okay?” Leta inquired, taking a few steps back. Clarissa cleared her throat, trying to shake off the weird lump that had formed in her throat. “Yeah, yeah.” She rushed out, wiping her sweaty palm on her thighs. “I’m fine.”She adjusted herself while Leta went back to sit on one of the chairs opposite hers.Clarissa cleared her throat, trying to regain her nerves. “You were saying something earlier?” “Oh yes. I got a call from HR about a very disturbing case but she would love to talk to you about it personally.” Clarissa nodded. “I’ll only be chanced later in the day. She can come in then. I’ll keep you update

    Clarissa held his stare, not even blinking or trying to move. Her body was still, but her pulse betrayed her. It kept beating faster than a drum. She could feel his breath on her skin, making her body develop goosebumps. But she didn't give him the reaction he wanted. Instead, she arched one brow at him. "I didn't take you for someone who mixes business with... distractions."Lucas didn't back away. "I don't.""Then what is this?" she asked, voice cool.Lucas smirked as he pushed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and she froze. "This is just me playing around and trying to mess with you.""Well, congratulations, you failed to mess with me." She squeezed out a tight smile but her heart? It shook. Who said the proximity didn't affect her?? She could feel her heart pounding against her chest and being loud in her ears."I noticed.." his eyes went down to her nipples again. "How about I change that?" She raised a brow. "How so?"His lips brushed against her earlobe as he whisp
