Reese ignored everyone's gaze, she pursed her lips and said softly, "Are you busy?"
She didn't call him Mr. Strakovski or Boss, nor did she call Lukas's name, for fear of revealing her secrets.
Lukas background was too quiet, he was silent for two seconds and said, "Not busy, what's the matter?"
Someone jokingly said with a smile on their lips, "why don't you ask your partner?"
Seeing everyone's expectant faces, Reese bit the bullet and continued, "Then you
are..."
Reese didn't ask, but Lukas explained, "I'm at the bar"
"It's very quiet over there!" Reese was a little surprised.
Lukas voice seemed to be tinged with a slight chuckle, "I'm in the box!"
It suddenly occurred to Reese that Lukas had a special box with a perfect sound insulation in an old local bar.
Any one staying in that box could hardly hear any noise, so it can be considered to be a quiet place amidst the
hustle and bustle of the bar
She hesitated for a second, and said, "Then continue drinking, I'll hang up first!"
The crowd's face fell upon hearing Reese, their faces changed slightly, and someone had already shouted,
"Reese, you can't do this!"
Lukas voice turned cold, "Who is talking?"
Reese felt a little helpless, "I'm an alumnus. Isn't it I'm at an alumni gathering today? Everyone is making noises
and wanted to see you. | planned to ask you to cand pickup, but you've also been drinking, so you can't
drive at all"

When Lukas heard her, his tone softened, "It's okay, I'll let the driver drive me, go on first!"
Reese finally breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.
As soon as she hung up the phone, everyone asked enviously.
"Reese, your boyfriend has such a nice voice, he must be very handsome!"
Reese was silent for a second, and Lukas's handsome, pointed face appeared in her mind, and she nodded,
"Well, indeed he is handsome!"
The others spoke enviously, "Wow, just listening to the voice alone, it sound so good already that you can get
pregnant, and he is handsas well, what a good life to live!"
"Reese, your boyfriend is also rich, right? He even had a driver to drive him when he goes out!" The other party
asked with a smile and envy.
Reese felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't know how to answer this kind of question, "he's fine."
Molly couldn't listen anymore. She was just taunting Reese, but she didn't expect to give her a chance to boast
instead.
Her face was as long as a donkey's, "Maybe it's just a substitute driver! What a rich man!"
Reese glanced at her speechlessly, but didn't speak.
The crowd also realized that Molly was only there to criticize Reese and they all looked at each other without
saying a word.
Molly felt embarrassed.
Reese glanced at her indifferently, and said bluntly, "Well, maybe it's really a substitute driver!"
Molly's face changed, but she didn't say anything.
At the stime, in the old local bar.
Elias glanced at Lukas and asked playfully, "Who is it?"
Lukas glanced sideways at him, "Reese!"
Elias put on a foolish look, "It's late at night, why did she call? checking the post?"
Lukas glanced at him casually, shook the wine glass in his hand, and ignored him.
Elias was unwilling to be lonely "It's just the two of us, you should say something, don't letsing a one-man
show alone!"
Lukas snorted, "I can see that you're having fun singing alone!"
Elias rolled his eyes, "I'm not anymore!"
Lukas looked at him, his expression saying, your unhappiness has nothing to do with me.
Lukas said, "I'll go pick someone after | finish this cup!"
Elias rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Pick up Reese? She called and asked you to pick her up?"
Lukas leaned on the sofa, gave him a sideway glance, and remained silent.
Elias pursed his lips, and couldn't help complaining, "I say, you're an old gourd, whoever drinks with you will
probably be pissed off in a minute, thanks to the fact that | have endured such humiliation for so many years,
and I've gotten used to it already!"

Lukas took a sip of the wine, his expression was dim under the light of the box.
He was silent for a long time, and suddenly said inadvertently, "Elias, how do you usually... chase after women?"
After Lukas said it, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Elias was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned on his gossipy mood, while his whole body leaned
towards Lukas, "No way, Lukas, which woman are you chasing now?"
Lukas glanced at him indifferently, "Answer the question and stop talking nonsense!"
Elias looked at him with a hippie smile, "tsk tsk tsk, people can't really be judged according to their appearance,
the ten thousand years iceberg is about to melt, letguess, you probably fell in love with that Rose Gibbs!"
After all, during this period of time, Lukas was rumored to have an affair with Rose. But Lukas did nothing to stop
it. And Rose reputation rose higher as well, not only that, she was still intact as well. Which was worth wondering
about!
Lukas eyes sank, "What nonsense are you talking about, | asked you to answer my question honestly, can't you
understand me?"
Elias pursed his mouth, "I'm just curious, you can't even satisfy this little curiosity
of mine, and you still have to askabout emotional problems!"
If others will see Lukas's cold face they'd definitely be scared.
But Elias is different, he was already used to it. Even if Lukas's cold face may seemed like daggers being thrown
at him, still he won't be fazed with it.
No, to be precise, Elias is his friend.
Seeing the way Lukas looked at him coldly, "Just tell me, is Rose better than me? you speak for her and defend
her like this, | can't even inquire!"
Lukas glanced at him angrily, "It's not Rose!"
