NovelEnglishReese's voice unintentionally carried a hint of playfulness, possibly due to her getting used to Lukas always
coming to her rescue.
Unknowingly, she had started to subconsciously rely on Lukas.
When she spoke, her tone held a trace of coquettishness, although she was unaware of it.
Lukas glanced at her and retorted coolly, "It's not because you weren't prepared. It's because your reaction was
too slow!"
Reese pouted, "Alright, | have a slow reaction, and you're impressive!"
Lukas raised an eyebrow at her, "If I'm so impressive, when are you going to addon WhatsApp?"
Reese turned to him with a surprised look, "You knew | removed you?"
Lukas huffed, not amused, "I messaged you at spoint!"
Reese blinked, feeling guilty, "Okay, I'll add you now!"

Lukas's mood lightened a bit upon hearing her response.
Thinking about the incident in the studio, he couldn't help but remind Reese, "No matter what happens in the
future, don't take it for granted. Also, today you had a conflict with Rona, not outside, but within the studio! We
all signed nondisclosure agreements and won't spread rumors. Didn't you notice how confident she was at that
moment?"
Reese rolled her eyes, "I didn't feel it from others, bland I'm not afraid either. But yes, she was confident. She
even proudly mentioned that her father is Ryder Young!"
Lukas had just started the car and his expression turned grim upon hearing this, "Ryder is indeed a ruthless
character to deal with!"
Reese shrugged nonchalantly, her carefree attitude similar to James showing through, "As long as I'm well-fed
and my family isn't hungry, I'm afraid of nothing!"
Lukas's handsface darkened, "I think you've spent too much twith James. You're learning from him-
you're becoming more and more.like a hoodlum!" Reese stuck out her tongue. Today, Lukas had helped her, so
she better not anger him.
She looked at Lukas and winked mischievously, "Don't worry, | got it. From now on, whenever | encounter a
public figure, I'll be on guard against such tricks. I'l take them down before they can make a move!"
Lukas couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused by her statement.
He looked at Reese helplessly, "You really know how to focus on the key points!"
As for the impulsive kiss from the previous night, neither of them mentioned it, as if it hadn't happened at all.
However, Lukas was well aware that something between them had changed.
He seemed to have found a way to subtly crack open the door to Reese's heart.
In the afternoon, Reese started feeling a bit drowsy. Like a sleepy bug, she sat at her desk, her head nodding off.
Just as she was about to fall asleep on her desk, Raven suddenly woke her up, "Reese, there's someone here for
you!"
Reese jolted awake and saw Molly sauntering over with a swaying waist, a smile on her face. She smiled and
greeted, "Miss, you're here for a private custom design, right? Hello, I'm Molly, a jewelry designer from
Strakovski Jewelry!"
Reese quickly motioned for Raven to be quiet and then propped her head up with her hand, watching the scene
play out with an amused expression.

The visitor wasn't anyone else but the woman she had seen at last night's business banquet, who happened to
be Walter's fiancée.
Back then, Reese had sensed that this woman was quite forthright and bold.
A sly smile curled on Reese's lips. It seemed that Molly might have sdifficulty securing this deal.
Molly was more focused on trying to undermine Reese than considering whether her straightforward nature
would endear her to the clients.
Just as Reese was pondering this, she heard Mariel snort and say, "Molly? Who's that? A designer from some
third-rate university? | made an appointment in advance to meet with Reese for a private custom design. Who do
you think you are? Is this how Strakovski Jewelry treats its clients?"
Mariel wasn't usually an unreasonable person.
Unfortunately, Lukas's attitude the previous night had really offended her!
Plus, she had made an appointment and yet, they assigned an unknown designer
to attend to her. She'd be surprised if she didn't feel furious!
Hearing Mariel's words, Reese also froze. She turned to Raven.
