Chapter 685
"Yes, sir! I'll get our techies on it right away!" James told Isaac before hurrying out of his office.
Back at the hilltop mansion, Lulu helped take down the decorations after Erin left.
When they were almost done, she gave Irene a head's up." We're finished now, so I'm going home, okay?"
Ricky frowned, feeling uncomfortable when he heard Lulu say 'home'.
Did she consider Zachary Slate's house 'home' now?
Was she not out for revenge? Why would she call that place ' home' so affectionately?!
"Why don't you stay for dinner?" Irene asked.
"Yeah, you should stay for dinner," Ricky chimed in.
However, Lulu had lost all her old affection for Irene and her attitude toward Irene was cool because of her
discontent toward the latter!

she would not have to stay.
Naturally, it sounded different to Ricky's ears.
Zachary was waiting for her?
She wanted to go back that badly just to see Zachary, and to live with him like a married couple?!
Still, Irene could not insist that Lulu stay after Lulu turned her down so obviously. "Let me walk you out."
"No, I will!" Ricky butted in and pulled Lulu along, quickly heading outside as he was worried that Irene would stay
no.
Irene tried to stop him too, but she gave up thinking about it.
Even outside, Ricky kept dragging Lulu along even as she struggled against his grip. "Where are you taking me? Just
say what you need to say."
He suddenly paused and turned around to look at her, staring straight into her eyes but saying nothing.
Lulu felt the creeps from his stare. "What's gotten into you?"
"What's gotten into me?!" Ricky's eyes were bulging. "You're mentioning Zachary Slate with every other word so
intimately that even I'm starting to think that you're in love with him-that you're not staying with him for payback!"
"I am!" Lulu protested.
"No, you're lying," Ricky was too furious to listen, and seemed certain that Lulu had feelings for Zachary. "You've
forgotten how rotten he was to you and you're tricked by his sentiment."
"Calm down-1 never forgot." Lulu almost had to plead. "I know that he hurt me and that his mother tried to kill me.
Believe me, I'm staying with him for revenge."
Ricky took a few deep breaths just then. As he finally calmed down, his tone did as well.
"Sorry, it's been a long day..."
"What happened?" Lulu asked.
"I killed someone by accident, so I was down in the dumps. I didn't want to flip out... But I'm just terrified."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRicky sounded dispirited, so Lulu comforted him softly," Don't get so paranoid. If it was an accident, you'd be
punished lightly-moreover, you're Irene Spencer's brother, so Isaac Jefferson would definitely come up with
something even if she can't."
Even so, Ricky felt butterflies in his stomach even as he lowered his gaze.
He was good natured despite being a hothead, and naturally apprehensive after committing murder, even if he did
not mean it.
"It's fine. I'll help you," Lulu reached out to touch his face just then. "Should we go for some drinks? You might sleep
better that way."
Ricky looked up into her eyes then. "You always knew how I felt, didn't you?"

Before Lulu could say a word, Ricky leaned in and kissed her!
Lulu's eyes widened, her head going blank right then!
Before Ricky could reach out to hold her waist, he felt someone grabbing him by the neck and was thrown off.
He wobbled, almost falling, but soon regained his balance and saw him!
