Deasy was getting ready to leave. While waiting for Veronica to pick her up, she decided to check her phone. She didn't want to miss any calls or messages from Lucas.Sure enough, when she checked, she found a short message that made her smile.Lucas: Darling, did you know? Physics is hard to forget. But you? It's hard not to miss you. I miss you so much.Deasy couldn't help but laugh. She wanted to call him, but since she was still in the lobby of the Forty-nine building, she decided to reply to his message instead.Deasy: If you miss me, come home quickly. So I can hug you right away. Or maybe you don't really like being with me all the time?It didn't take long for Deasy to wait for Lucas's response. A few seconds later, he replied from the other side.Lucas: I do like Harry Potter. But I like "Harry-harry" with you even more, darling.Deasy: That's so cheesy.Lucas: I swear, I'm serious. Besides, why would I insist on living with you if I didn't like it?Deasy: Alright, I believe
As she passed the health center, Deasy accidentally ran into the doctor who had treated her before. She smiled and greeted him politely."Good evening, Doctor.""Good evening, Miss Deasy. Just got off work?"Deasy nodded."Yes, Doctor. I just got off. Is your practice room nearby? Is that handsome boyfriend of yours not with you today?""Handsome boyfriend?"Deasy immediately made a puzzled expression. After the food delivery guy mentioned it yesterday, now the doctor who examined her was saying the same thing."Yeah," the doctor confirmed once more. "The one who carried and waited for Miss Deasy in the health center. What's his name? Mr. Lucas, right?""Yes, my boyfriend's name is Lucas," Deasy replied. Well, they were currently in a relationship, weren't they?"As far as I can see, your boyfriend is really attentive. He didn't leave Miss Deasy's side for a moment. He waited eagerly for Miss Deasy to wake up. It touched me."Deasy smiled, grateful for the extraordinary attention Luca
Currently, Deasy has successfully obtained the glasses that Lucas is wearing. Just as she was about to take them off, Deasy was startled when Lucas suddenly opened his eyes and gently held her hand.For a moment, the man gazed at Deasy's face. He stared closely, then soon smiled and said softly."Why aren't you asleep yet, honey?"Deasy froze for a moment. She was confused about how to answer Lucas's seemingly simple and straightforward question. It felt like she wanted to escape. She was incredibly embarrassed to be caught wanting to do something with the man in front of her."I-I..." Deasy stammered."I what?""I-uh...""Huh? What's wrong?""Uh? No!" Deasy interjected while shaking her head repeatedly. She was still nervous and struggling to figure out what to say to Lucas."So, what's the matter?""Nothing, really," Deasy finally answered. "Actually, before going to sleep, I wanted to kiss you again. When I looked closely at your face, it seemed a bit strange.""Strange?"Deasy nod
In recent times, Lucas has appeared to thoroughly enjoy his role. Despite not being officially married and holding the status of a husband, he continues to strive to care for and look after Deasy wholeheartedly and with all his soul.Lucas seems so sincere, without ever calculating. In fact, whatever Deasy asks for, he always tries to fulfill it right away.Like last night. When it was time to sleep, Deasy was craving like a pregnant woman. She complained that she really wanted seafood fried rice for breakfast tomorrow, sprinkled with a lot of shrimp flour on top.As a result, because he had the skill to cook, Lucas woke up early in the morning. He immediately took a shower, then headed to the kitchen. He checked the refrigerator to take out the shrimp and some other ingredients.He started chopping, then washing. Then he cooked and prepared it into seafood fried rice, just as Deasy had requested.For some reason, there was a special satisfaction for Lucas if he could grant Deasy's wi
"Sir, what's on your mind? You seem really troubled."For a while now, Felix had been observing how restless Lucas appeared in his office chair. When he tried to discuss things with him, his boss didn't seem focused and often didn't respond to what Felix was saying."Mr. Lucas," Felix called out for the umpteenth time, raising his voice slightly to get Lucas's attention and refocus it on him."Huh? What?""Why, Mr. Lucas?" Felix inquired, curious."I'm thinking about Deasy suddenly proposing to get married next month."Felix was astonished, but he smiled in response to Lucas's statement."Congratulations, sir. That means you'll be getting married soon, and you'll officially become Ms. Deasy's husband.""Yes," Lucas replied briefly."But," Felix continued, "if Deasy is proposing to marry you next month, when will you tell her about your true identity as her boss all this time? I'm sure she'll be shocked when she finds out."Lucas sighed deeply, bringing his hand up to massage his throb
Deasy: Luc, it seems you don't need to come over. I have some last-minute business to attend to and must go. Let's meet later in the evening or after work.Lucas had just finished all the work that had piled up on his desk. He grabbed his suit and car keys, preparing to leave, when Deasy suddenly sent him a text message.As Lucas checked and read it carefully, it turned out that the lunch invitation from his girlfriend, which she had insisted on earlier, had to be postponed because Deasy had some unexpected business to attend to."Why, Sir? Why are you just standing there like that?" Felix, who was still faithfully in Lucas's office, asked. Felix was currently organizing some documents for Lucas to take to the meeting."Well," Lucas replied, "Deasy is being really indecisive. Earlier, she insisted that I hurry over to the restaurant. Now, as I'm ready to go there, she sends a message saying we won't be having lunch.""She canceled?" Felix responded in surprise."Yes," nodded Lucas. "S
Meanwhile, in a different location, at a Korean restaurant, Deasy sat quietly with an expression that was difficult to interpret. It was a mixture of confusion, surprise, and curiosity because suddenly, while waiting for Lucas, her boss, Andreas Morales, approached her for a serious conversation.During her nearly three years of working at Quantum Tech as a financial manager, Deasy had only met the owner of the Dalton Group a few times in person. She had also been involved in direct conversations with him only a handful of times. That's why she wondered what the reason and purpose of this conversation could be."Is your name Deasy Winterborne?"Andreas cast a scanning look over her, taking in every detail from head to toe. He scrutinized the woman who was currently close to his son."Yes, I'm Deasy Winterborne, Sir."Andreas smiled faintly."You're the financial manager at Quantum Tech and also the daughter of the late Anton Wolf, the owner of Amaris, right?"Deasy nodded, confirming
"Della, did you see Ms. Deasy?"Lucas appeared puzzled. Since he returned from the meeting, he hadn't seen Deasy in his office at all. He had some work to discuss with her, and her absence was starting to worry him.Even when Lucas tried to contact her as Lucas Orion, his girlfriend didn't respond. This made him both anxious and concerned."She's not in her office, Sir. It seems like she's gone out."Lucas nodded."For a while now? I noticed she hasn't been around for a bit. There's something important I want to discuss about work.""I'll try to find her and get in touch, Sir," Della said. "If I locate her, I'll let Ms. Deasy know to meet you in your office.""Yes, thank you very much for your help."After Della left the room, Lucas picked up his phone again. He checked repeatedly, hoping for a response from Deasy to the text messages he had sent.Lucas: Darling, where are you? Why aren't you answering my calls? Are you okay?Lucas: Darling? Hello? Please reply. Are you mad at me or s
