"Okay." I nodded obediently when I heard what Lucas said.
It was professional.
Lucas looked at me meaningfully. He paused for seconds before saying, "Cynthia, as a secretary, you have done a good job."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on my chest, and my face immediately blushed.
I looked around. Fortunately, there was no one else.
"Cynthia?"
I put down the knife and fork. Hearing the familiar voice behind me, I wanted to escape right away.
If not for Derek's arrival, I would have forgotten that the restaurant was close to his company and that he often came for lunch.
Derek kept staring at me. His eyes were so fierce, as if trying to see through me.
He looked at Lucas next to me and seemed to realize something.
"No wonder you wanted to divorce me. It turns out that you also cheated on me."
The word "also" sounded repulsive to me. It was as if he and I were the same kind of people.
I con
As I walked, I wondered who this woman was. She looked vulgar and was not the same kind of person as Tasha.I felt strange. Since Tasha and I became friends, we shared everything. If Tasha had a new friend, why wouldn't she tell me?I looked at the woman. We were both somewhat embarrassed.At that time, Tasha returned."Tasha, your friend is here. Why didn't you tell me?" I walked over and asked.The strange woman turned to me. Tasha glared at her and then Tasha smiled at me.She said, "I don't have a husband. Can't I have a few more friends?""Of course you can," I said with a smile.I breathed a sigh of relief when Tasha joked with me.I put my bag on the sofa and went to the bathroom. When I came out, I saw a person sitting next to Tasha's friend."Tasha, is there another guest?"Tasha did not answer me. I felt a little strange and walked closer, only to see Derek's malicious face.I
"How is it? Am I hotter than Catherine?" Melinda said proudly as she panted."Come on. You are my mate. No one can be compared to you," Derek said gently. He was not stingy with his praise.Derek actually had another lover before Melinda, which disgusted me a lot.It turned out that he had been cheating all along.I was drugged by Derek, and before I fainted, I heard Catherine's name vaguely and remembered the name.From what Melinda said just now, I could guess who Catherine was. If I was right, Catherine should have been Derek's previous lover and the woman in the video.Derek hooked up with his current lover Melinda, so he abandoned Catherine. Catherine was furious and sent me the video to take revenge on Derek.I didn't expect that it was Derek's ex-lover who told me the truth. I was somewhat grateful to Catherine. If not for her, I wouldn't be able to see Derek's true colors.It was noon, and I had been impri
As Lucas spoke, there was no smile on his face.As an Alpha, his aura was powerful and dangerous.It made him look particularly terrifying.I could tell that Lucas was furious at the moment.After Lucas gave his order, those strong men said yes spontaneously.Then, they walked into the house and closed the door. Soon after, heart-wrenching screams came through the door.Lucas carried me to the car. I watched as the car drove away from Tasha's house, and I finally felt a little relieved.Lucas was driving quietly. I couldn't help but ask, "How did you find me?"His expression had returned to normal. He said, "When I called you, I felt strange because you kept addressing me as Marshall. At first, I thought that I called you at the wrong time, so I hung up. But soon, I realized that something was off. I found the location of your phone and got a locksmith to open the door to Tasha's house.""And..." Lucas paus
Tasha smiled, and I couldn't guess her true feelings.I smiled, "Good. Tasha, you know about my miserable marriage, yet you still let Derek enter your house. You betrayed me, and why are you still pretending to be my friend?"Tasha picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. I smelt the mellow fragrance of the coffee as she opened her mouth."Aren't you the one pretending to be my best friend?"Tasha seemed to emphasize that it was all my fault for what had happened.I was floored by Tasha's words. I opened my mouth and wanted to say something. However, I didn't know what to say."What do you mean?"I raised my voice and asked, after a long time."Cynthia, do you think I don't know about your malicious thoughts?"I gasped and looked into Tasha's deep, unfathomable eyes.Tasha stirred the cup repeatedly with a coffee spoon. The sound of the spoon clinking the cup made me shudder."Cynthia, during the four ye
Now, I thought about it carefully. Why would Tasha suddenly come to visit me that day? How could Derek appear there so coincidentally?Everything was strange, but at that time, I was too frightened to notice that something was off.After that, I found out that Derek was my mate, and I fell into Derek's trap.If marrying Derek was a terrible accident in my life, then the mastermind behind it was Tasha.If Tasha had not mentioned it just now, I would have forgotten the role that she played in my marriage. More often than not, I thought that I married Derek just because he was my mate.What a joke. It turned out that my life had long been arranged secretly, and the one who caused the tragedy was my bestie.Looking at Tasha's sinister smile, my heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water."Cynthia, you didn't expect this coming, right? Aren't you always aloof? So? How do you feel after being fooled by me?"The hysterical Tasha lo
Lucas' tone was calm and natural.I couldn't retort to him with a single word.I had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright. You can come with me, but you can't visit my home. Just wait for me outside.""No problem." Lucas nodded.Soon, he got his men to book the plane tickets.I boarded the plane back to Texas with him.On the plane, I looked out of the window worriedly.Lucas waved his hand in front of me and asked, "Why are you in a daze again? Just like last time. Well, but I got lucky last time as well."Lucas showed a mischievous smile, and my face flushed.He leaned closer to me, his expression playful."If you continue to stare blankly outside, I will pull you to the bathroom and do the same thing as last time."Lucas stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. "It was quite exciting last time. And I miss it very much."I clutched my clothes nervously and cursed, "How shameless! A
I was stunned by Lucas' words. We never talked about work before. But he was so quick-witted and was worthy of the title of president of a company.Dali was convinced and smiled with gratitude. I felt a little relieved.However, he did not intend to ignore the details. He asked Lucas, "If that's the case, why do you come with Cynthia to my house since Los Angeles is far from Texas?""Dali, if you misunderstand Cynthia because of the rumors, I will feel sorry. Moreover, I don't want to lose an excellent employee. So, I thought about it and decided to explain it to you in person."Lucas was such a good liar and he impressed me. This way, Dali would not blame me and may think that Lucas valued me.Dali had always been proud of me since I was a child and he often bragged about me to others. Dali must be happy since Lucas said so many good words about me.As expected, Dali laughed. He said repeatedly that he was honored that Lucas would come and
It never occurred to me that Derek, my beloved mate, would cheat on me.A few days ago, Derek left Los Angeles to run some errands for the Beech Pack.Today, to welcome him back, I specially cleaned up the place.When I finally finished my work, I sat on the sofa to rest.Then I heard the notification sound of receiving an email from the laptop.I walked to the study room wearily and opened the mailbox to check the mail.I was shocked when I saw videos of Derek having sex with another woman in bed.I went crazy and smashed everything in the place.No wonder Derek barely slept with me two years into our marriage. He would either say that he was too busy with the pack's matters or that he was exhausted.It turned out that he had been cheating on me.What puzzled me was that when Derek was having sex with her, I felt nothing.As werewolves, we felt unspeakable pain when our mates cheated on us.Strangely, I didn't feel anything, not even once.In addition, I could accept Derek rejecting
