Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Katherine POVI don’t know what to say. One moment Lucas Sanders was furious with me. He had gone ballistic. The next moment, he barged into my office, hugging me like it was the most logical thing to do.My cheeks flamed in a mixture of fear and excitement. He was my boss. I wanted to protest, but the protest died in my throat when his warmth enveloped me. One thing that registered in my head while I was tucked in his arms. It was how natural it felt to be enfolded in his arms. It was like Lucas Sanders and I had done this several lifetimes ago. And because it felt natural, my arms lifted to mimic his actions and encircled his waist. Then, I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling. By now, we were hugging each other like any lovers would. The idea made me feel fuzzy and warm inside. What was it about the man that made me do mad things that defy logic or reason?Why does it feel like I was the moth to Lucas’ flame? I can't help but always gravitate toward him when he is near.I

Katherine POV After rejecting my boss and hearing him click the button to end our call, I regretfully put the phone down.  My eyes then strayed to a social media post of Agatha Richards. It does not say a lot, but the picture and the caption tell a thousand words.  I had to thank Veronica for coming to my office to show me this post.   She saved me from making a decision that would spell disaster with a capital D. While I stared at the post, anger flared up within me.   How could Lucas Sanders be so cruel? Did he think that I wouldn’t find out about his duplicity

Lucas POV “Hello, Erin.”  Erin’s eyes zeroed in on the food bags, and they automatically sparkled like fairy lights.  She jumped up and down in excitement.  “Slow down!” I said, horrified. Suddenly, I panicked at the thought that the sudden movement would put a strain on her body. She was still recovering from her surgery. But Erin did not seem to mind.  “Did you buy pancakes from Delia’s? It’s my favorite.” The delight in her voice was unmistakable.&n

Lucas POV I asked Erin to play with her dolls for a while when I received a notification from my phone. It was an email from Duke.  There was a link and a message that said, I think this would make you happy. Enjoy watching. I clicked the link. At first, the lights blinded me. It was only later that I realized that it was an indoor shoot.  In the video clip, Agatha came in while everyone was busy shooting.  No one attended to her unlike before when she used to have a grand entrance and everyone goes “gaga” over her.  The production crew, even the director, would fawn

Lucas POVAwkward. That is how I felt every time I would meet Veronica’s gaze from across the cramped living room of Katherine's apartment. After Erin disappeared with Katherine in one of the rooms to presumably change into outdoor clothing, leaving me with Veronica Miller.When it was just Erin and me, the space did not bother me so much, but with Veronica, the silence felt uncomfortable. When Erin and Katherine emerged from the room, I heaved a huge sigh of relief and stood from the couch. Veronica, who sat from across me, stood, too. “Uncle Lucas, I am ready,” Erin reported. She changed into denim pants, a blouse, and sneakers. Strapped on her shoulder toward the middle of her chest was a crossbody bag with a pink pig design. And unlike earlier, her hair is now gathered into a ponytail. I smiled when she latched her small hand to mine and felt a tingle in my heart. Then, I looked at her mother.“She is allergic to peanuts.” Katherine reminded me and handed me a backpack w
