Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Calista remained seated, undisturbed, while Yara sprang into action next to the table, forcibly turning someone to face her."Hector, you sneaky guy! Didn't we agree that I'd be the one to ask the question? You threw me under the bus there. Now Calista probably thinks we're in cahoots or something."Hector brushed off Yara's grip, pulled out the chair next to Calista, and sat down."I'm here to go after someone, and being here in person shows I mean business. Yara, you can take off now since you've brought me into the picture. Grab some food next door. My treat."Yara glared at him and retorted, "Why involve me in the first place? Why not ask her directly?""You see, showing up unexpectedly too often can irritate folks. Timing is key. Given that you've already set the stage, it made sense for me to step in," Hector replied."Do you ever wonder why passing love notes through messengers was a thing back in school instead of just asking someone out directly?" he continued."Why?" Y

"Nope. But we might arrive sooner, so you can return earlier, too," Paul answered.Paul was being thoughtful. He had a feeling that Calista might have some impending commitments when Shawn inquired about her schedule earlier."In that case, I'll head home and get my luggage ready."Calista initially planned to leave tonight, and now that her desire had been fulfilled, she agreed with Paul. He got up and took the car keys from the drawer."Yep, let's roll. I'll swing by your place, and we can catch our flight later. It's right on the way."As they left the premises together, Lucian concluded his meeting. Lucian's reputation had spread throughout the project department after the previous incident.A staff member wasted no time sharing the news when she spotted him."Mr. Baker and Calista are on their way to the airport."The staff had caught snippets of their conversation during Paul's earlier task handover to the deputy manager."The airport?" Lucian inquired, his eyes locked o

"I'm not betting with you," said Calista.She wouldn't bother to waste her time on such an idle matter. 　　"Then come and eat with me now," Lucian remarked.Calista was at a loss for words.She reached for her phone subconsciously as she wanted to call Paul to let him know she was safe. Only did she realize her phone wasn't with her as she reached for it.When Paul was grabbing her earlier on, he also took hold of her bag strap. She tossed him her bag as she was struggling to get away from him. Paul was searching the streets for Calista. David followed him closely."Mr. Baker, Mr. Northwood just texted me. Mrs. Northwood was a bit frightened, so he took her back to the hotel first."　Paul halted his steps. He turned around and looked at David."Did Lucian lure her away?"　David swore to him."No way. Mr. Northwood just happened to see what happened so he went after her. If he knew there was a person who'd trigger such a huge reaction in Mrs. Northwood, he would've sent this

The one who was staring at her was … Lucian.It was unclear how long he had been sitting there. He was still dressed in how he was when they were at the tourist hotspot earlier.He sat there alone, with a translucent glass in his hand. Under the dim lights, the amber-colored liquid cast speckles of light on his fingers. Lucian stood out. His appearance, figure, the way he carried himself and his expensive clothing that anyone could tell at first glance attracted lots of attention from his surroundings. There were a lot of women doing prostitution in this bar. Several types of women were present, be it the seductive ones, conservative ones, innocent ones, dominant ones—you name it.Some of them were chatting away together, some were wandering around in the bar with a glass in their hands.Once they had their eyes on someone or someone was interested in them, they'd sit down and chat the night away. Calista wasn't here for too long, but she'd already seen a few of them as the

Lucian was expressionless as he lifted his leg, and stepped on Kyle without any hesitation. He didn't start with great force, but the slow and steady pressure he exerted to and fro made it unbearably painful. The gradually deepening force made Kyle could only focus on that spot.But Lucian stood there, looking calm and composed. Aside from his emotionless eyes, there wasn't any sign of emotional fluctuation. He could even be deemed as elegant. If judged solely by his face, no one would ever associate this gruesome act with his current expression."Argh—"Kyle's shriek echoed through the elevator, resembling the squeal of a slaughtered pig.　　Although Calista wasn't a man, she somehow could feel the pain herself as well. Her legs even straightened involuntarily. Kyle struggled to push Lucian's leg away, attempting to free himself from Lucian's crushing force on his penis. But no matter how hard he tried, Lucian didn't budge an inch. 　Thus, his series of agonizing screams ec
