“It does seem like XC will be enjoying far greater benefits with lesser risks.”

The room grew quiet.

Nova looked at him.

“That's because the risks you're referring to aren't ours.”

Lucien's gaze met hers.

“The first condition excludes delays caused by Delacroix's procurement. The second excludes delays caused by regulatory changes or government approvals. And the third requires Delacroix to bear the additional cost of design changes made after construction begins.”

She paused.

    Nova stared at the man across her.She couldn't tell what his motive was.She looked at the people around her before turning back to him.“About the project?”"Not exactly."Nova's brow lifted slightly.Lucien didn't elaborate right away.She nodded and turned to her team.“You can go ahead. I'll catch up later.”The others exchanged glances but didn't ask questions. They nodded and left through the front entrance.Soon, only Nova and Lucien remained near the reception area.Lucien watched her for a moment before speaking."About last night..."Nova's expression didn't change, but she suddenly recalled the kiss they'd almost shared in Wyatt Estate.She still hadn't said anything about how he practically pretended to be drunk yet he had the nerve to bring it up.Her expression became slightly cold. "There's nothing to discuss."Lucien was also watching her carefully.Seeing how eager she was to avoid the topic, a faint smile appeared on his lips."I just wanted to thank you," he said

The second excludes delays caused by regulatory changes or government approvals. And the third requires Delacroix to bear the additional cost of design changes made after construction begins.”She paused.“Those aren't risks XC created. Why should we be penalized for them?”Lucien leaned back slightly.“Because you're assuming that whoever controls the decision should automatically bear the risk.”His voice remained calm.“But that's not always how a project works. It mostly falls on whoever can mitigate the damage quickly."Nova's eyes narrowed slightly.“If the equipment arrives late, we can adjust the work schedule. But we can't make the missing equipment appear.”She tapped the contract.“Delacroix controls p

    The room fell quiet.Nova stood near the entrance with the rest of the XC team behind her.Her gaze swept across the conference room before settling on the man sitting at the head of the table.Lucien.For a moment, their eyes met.Neither of them spoke.Lucien's expression remained composed, but the surprise in his eyes was difficult to miss.He hadn't expected to see her here.Nova, on the other hand, showed almost no reaction.She had known the meeting was with Delacroix Energy. She simply hadn't expected Lucien to attend personally.It didn't take long for her to regain her composure.Hayden who sat beside Lucien was the most flabbergasted.His eyes moved from Nova to Lucien and back again.He recognized her immediately and his eyebrows lifted.Madam?No.Ex-madam.He quickly corrected himself.But before he could say anything, the head of the Delacroix project team spoke."You're late."The man's voice was sharp.The XC employees who had just entered immediately became tense."We

    The elevator doors slid open.Nova stepped inside first, with Reese following behind her. He pressed the button for the executive floor before leaning against the wall, his expression gradually becoming more serious.The doors closed, cutting off the noise from the lobby.Reese spoke first.“Boss, where did you disappear to last night?"He glanced at her."Spencer called me looking for you, and none of us knew where you had gone. I was starting to wonder if something had happened.”Nova looked at the numbers above the doors as they began to rise.“I had something to deal with. I forgot to let you know.”Reese frowned. “You forgot?"He seemed to find that very suspicious and reiterated,"You usually tell us when you're going somewhere, especially when you disappear overnight. Where were you?”“Wyatt Estate.”Reese's eyebrows instantly shot up.“Wyatt Estate?”Nova nodded.For a moment, Reese simply stared at her as though he had misheard.Then he straightened, clearly full of curiosi

    Ding-dong!The doorbell rang incessantly.Lucien frowned.“Who is it this early?”Nova looked toward the door.A familiar voice came from outside.“It's me, boss.”Hayden.Lucien's expression immediately darkened.But he still pressed the sensor by the table and the door clicked open.Hayden entered a moment later.His steps stopped when he saw the scene at the dining table.Nova was sitting across from Lucien and two plates of food were between them.Hayden's eyes widened as he hadn't expected such a scene to grace his eyes after a stressing flight back and forth through the night.He looked at Nova.It felt strange seeing her in the residence after the divorce.But seeing how she glanced at him calmly before she lowered her head and kept eating, he restrained his exaggerated look.Especially since his boss was staring at him quite darkly for the interruption. He coughed and approached."Miss Vega," he greeted first. "Thank you for the favor."Nova looked up.Hayden stood there with

    “Madam?”Nova stopped.She turned around and saw Madam Greene standing behind her.The housekeeper's eyes widened slightly when she saw Nova. Then, slowly, a smile spread across her face.“Madam, you're awake.”There was unmistakable warmth im her voice.But for some reason, Nova suddenly had a bad feeling about how this looked.After all, she had already divorced Lucien.And she had just spent the night in his room.But she kept a calm expression and nodded gently.Then she asked, “Where's Lucien?” Madam Greene's smile grew.“Sir went out to buy some groceries.”“Groceries?”“Yes.”Madam Greene nodded.“I wanted to go myself, but he wouldn't let me.”Nova frowned.“Why?”He had severe stomach problems and should be resting. What was he doing going around like he was fine?“He told me to stay here and keep you company when you woke up.” Madam Greene explained with a knowing smile on her face.Nova's brows drew together.Why would he do that?Madam Greene, however, seemed completely u
