Semua Bab Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Husky was a lively and neurotic breed, with a penchant for destruction as its default mode. In stark contrast stood Luke, mature and composed, rarely cracking a smile. He had one hand casually tucked in his pocket, the other holding the leash. Standing over 6 feet tall, Luke's shadow stretched long under the warm glow of the courtyard lights.The villa had a garden-style architectural design, boasting beautifully crafted features such as colonnades, intricate carvings, and refined craftsmanship. Luke's mere presence in the villa created an atmosphere, as if he were part of the scenery. It was unclear whether he complemented the surroundings or if they enhanced him.The Husky sniffed aimlessly in the nearby grass. It barked once and raised its head alertly at the sound of a noise. Luke followed suit, lifting his gaze.During my hospital stay, I had only communicated with Luke about work matters via phone and email, never meeting in person. After not seeing each other for so long, a s

"It's as if Luke is raising a pampered and timid wife, rather than just a dog.""That's a perfect way to put it!""The next time work gets you down, you should bring your Samoyed to bully his Husky as payback.""I don't engage in such cowardly and mean acts."Picking on a dog wasn't my style, though teasing it occasionally might be fun."Jen, have you ever considered that Luke's ideal type might be someone like that?""Like what?""A pampered little wife!""Wendy, how could you come up with such a crazy idea?"Luke is a workaholic. The person he likes should be someone who can match him, someone he doesn't need to spend too much time taking care of. "Luke is so sharp-tongued, a delicate girl would end up in tears eight hundred times a day.""Men enjoy making their beloved girls cry and then consoling them afterwards. It's called romance! Do you understand?""As expected from Wendy, your analysis makes sense.""A pampered beauty... Jen, I'm growing more and more intrigued by L

The research results for Mulligan Group and Destiny Tech were out. I printed the necessary documents and brought a cup of coffee to Luke's office."Mr. Walker, here's the guest list for today's Hengtong International Trade Exhibition, along with the research findings on Mulligan and Destiny," I said.International trade exhibitions were crucial platforms for companies to showcase products, seek new clients, and find partners. Luke's schedule was tight today. If the guest list didn't include businesses or individuals he was interested in, he'd likely cancel.I placed the documents on his desk and, seeing no further instructions, prepared to leave."JL Capital is partnering with Mulligan as the primary party," Luke said, taking a sip of coffee. "JL Capital's principle is to avoid arrogance in collaborations, but also not to be pushed around.""Do you think I overreacted this morning, Mr. Walker?"Destiny hadn't passed the risk assessment. If Mulligan still wanted to proceed, JL Cap

"Destiny Tech is poorly managed and has a bleak outlook. It wouldn't be wise for Mulligan to acquire it," I explained.JL Capital was known for its rigorous approach. With the research results out, Luke wouldn't assist Mulligan in acquiring Destiny."I don't care about the condition of Destiny Tech. I just want to ensure Mulligan successfully acquires it," Mandy stated."Why?" I inquired."You don't need to know the reason." Mandy examined her fresh manicure. "Mr. Walker used to surround himself with only male workers. You've recently gone through a failed marriage and faced rejection from several companies before landing at JL Capital. I don't need to spell out why."Mandy's words carried implications."Please be direct," I requested."We're all smart people. Why make things uncomfortable by stating the obvious?""I'm sorry, but this intelligent person doesn't understand your meaning."Mandy and her driver were indeed similar!I pretended not to understand."Ms. Middleton,

"Your actions would deserve those two slaps even if she were just a janitor at JL Capital," Luke said in a deep, resonant voice that sent shivers down my spine. His image in my mind grew even more impressive, and he seemed to radiate a dazzling light.In that moment, I felt a sense of pride and honor being an employee of JL Capital.My attention was solely focused on Luke, and I had forgotten that he still held my right hand."Mr. Walker, does this mean you're no longer interested in partnering with Mulligan?" Francis cautiously ventured."If you maintain this attitude, then there's no point in discussing any partnership." Luke turned to Zac, who had just returned with the surveillance footage. "Show him out.""Yes, Mr. Walker." Zac, having seen the footage, looked at Francis with disdain and gestured toward the door. "Mr. Muller, this way, please.""Mr. Walker, I was out of line just now. I shouldn't have behaved that way toward your assistant."JL Capital is a major player in
