Chapter 14

Lucas POV

Lucas swiftly turned to face Maria immediately she entered and sat beside him in the car. His eyes were cold and this made Maria restless.

“Lucas, you need to believe me. Scarlet might have bribed Clark, just so he could lie against me. I need you to trust me.”

Lucas looked at her, his lips pursed. He gritted his teeth in anger.

“You are such a great actress. How dare you sit beside me and look me in the eye, telling all these cock and bull stories. You know what Maria, enough of this talk. We'll discuss further when we get home. For now, I need you to stay the hell away from me.” He roared angrily, pushing Maria away.

“Lucas!!! Why are you being so harsh towards me? You don't believe everything that man said, do you?”

Lucas shook his head. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. He was sweating even though the AC was fully on.

Will Scarlet ever forgive me? What was I thinking? I need to speak with her. Lucas was deep in thoughts. His heartbeats could nearly be heard
