Clarissa held his stare, not even blinking or trying to move. Her body was still, but her pulse betrayed her. It kept beating faster than a drum. She could feel his breath on her skin, making her body develop goosebumps. But she didn't give him the reaction he wanted. Instead, she arched one brow at him. "I didn't take you for someone who mixes business with... distractions."Lucas didn't back away. "I don't.""Then what is this?" she asked, voice cool.Lucas smirked as he pushed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and she froze. "This is just me playing around and trying to mess with you.""Well, congratulations, you failed to mess with me." She squeezed out a tight smile but her heart? It shook. Who said the proximity didn't affect her?? She could feel her heart pounding against her chest and being loud in her ears."I noticed.." his eyes went down to her nipples again. "How about I change that?" She raised a brow. "How so?"His lips brushed against her earlobe as he whisp

"Aunt, you promised! Why do I still see her?? How come she's still living and breathing?!" Scarlet half-yelled from across the table, her eyes bloodshot as she gripped the edge of the table, staring intently at Lilith."I did what I was told," Lilith replied calmly, sipping from her americano. "Whatever happens next is none of my business."Scarlet looked amazed. "Oh really??" Her expression fell, replaced by a tight glare. "If you did a clean job, I wouldn't need to see Clarissa again! But now she's back and walking around like a flag. She...she...she now works with Lucas! Don't you see the severity of this matter??!" "What could possibly happen? Her telling on me? I'm not scared of that." Lilith set her cup down, then she folded her arms across her chest, giving the most relaxed vibe."I'm not even concerned about you either. Even if she rants on you or not, it's not my business. My business is that I want her thousands and hundreds of miles away from my man. I can't risk seeing he

Scarlet stepped out of the restaurant where she had dined with Lilith, the wind brushed against her arms the moment she came out making her pull her coat tighter around herself. The dinner had gone rather well. Lilith was still under her control and that was a good thing..for now.But just as she turned the corner, she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes remained locked on the man standing few feets away from her.The man named Luke was standing by a parked car, leaning against it like he had all the time in the world, his eyes locked straight on her. He was tall and had that maddening calm on his face. But his eyes were sharp.Scarlet’s breath caught in her throat. She blinked, hoping it was her mind playing tricks on her. But no, he was still standing there in flesh, staring at her.She turned fast and began to walk, no, almost run, along the sidewalk, her heart pounding loudly in her ears.“Scarlet,” he called behind her, his voice was louder than her racing heart. “Don’t run.”

A few days ran by and it was time for Lucas to pay a visit to RD ent corp which he would be partnering with. Lucas climbed out of his car and was met halfway by Clarissa, her assistant and a few other members who welcomed him politely into their company's building.Clarissa thought she would only welcome him with a few handshakes and then disappear back into her office while the others took the responsibility of showing him around. But, Lucas had other plans. Clarissa muttered to her assistant. "I'm going back to the office. If anything comes up, immediately give me a call." Her assistant nodded. "Yes, ma'am." Clarissa turned to Lucas who was having a chat with two of the board directors. She cleared her throat, interrupting them. "Mr Reed, I hope you enjoy your tour. I'll take my leave now."Lucas instantly frowned. "Where?" He didn't know when he let that slip out. "I mean, I expected you to give me this tour."Clarissa squeezed out a small smile. "I would have love to but..""T

The sky outside was Grey, it had just finished raining and it was cold. Lucas sat behind his desk, staring at the file in his hand while pretending like he was reading it. Nothing was sinking in and he kept spacing out. He didn’t touch his coffee and it had gone cold a long time ago. Then, a knock came from the door and he drawled. "Come in."The door opened and Justin stepped in, holding a thick brown envelope in his hand. He closed the door behind him and walked forward slowly, his face was clouded slightly. "Good day, Boss. It's here." He informed.Lucas didn't say a word, as if he was scared of what the outcome might be. What if he wasn't Lily's real father? It would sting a little because he was fond of the little girl even though she had Scarlet's annoying traits. One of the traits she exhibited was being a bad bully. Lucas didn't like it but the little girl just won't stop. On the other hand, he would be slightly relieved to not have anything to do with Scarlet. If anything
