Luther has always been a gentleman like the wind, he has never been so impolite towards others, especially to a
girl.
But today, his behavior is completely opposite to what he used to be.
Luther knew what she meant, and replied in a flat tone, "Lia, it's nothing, when it's meant to protect someone
you care about!"
Reese pursed her lips with a stiff expression.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She wasn't used to Luther, who was still treating her so well like he did two years ago!
Obviously, their relationship was no longer what it used to be!
Why is he still like this!
Reese bit her lip, feeling inexplicably depressed.
Luther saw that something has change within her, but he told himself that everything should be done step by
step.
He then changed the subject, "Lia, | heard that you are working in Strakovski Jewelry now?"
Reese nodded absent-mindedly, "Yeah!"
Luther smiled, and his tone was as gentle as a spring breeze as ever," you can askfor help then, if you
encounter anything in the future, and if you are having trouble at the company, you can also ask me. | have
a...an acquaintance in Strakovski."
Reese opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. Finally, she hummed lightly and nodded
mechanically.
After getting out of the elevator, Luther said, "Lia, you guys go in first, | need to take care of sother things,
I'll cover later!"

Reese knew that he must be busier, since he was organizing the party today.
She nodded and watched Luther leave.
Ava's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "I think he called you Lia, because it's the snas your
kitten!"
Reese was stunned for a moment, "I really didn't notice it, but Lukas was the one who named my kitten."
Ava teased, "Then he and Luther must have a perfect sense when it comes to naming!"
Reese pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ava was silent for a moment, before hesitating to speak again, "Lia, Luther...do you think he... still like you?"
When Reese heard this, she quickly retorted like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Don't talk nonsense, he never
likedbefore, why would he likenow!"
Ava just pursed her lips, and didn't mind Reese's reaction, "I think he still look at you the sway he look at
you two years ago, | doesn't seem like what you said at all!"
Reese's voice was a little numb, "Maybe...he just took care ofas a younger sister!"
Ava was startled with her thoughts, thinking, why would Luther treated Reese so well when he had a fiancé
already.
Yes...maybe he really treat her as his sister.
Ava hooked her lips ironically, and pulled Reese, "Let's find a table first!"
Reese nodded.
With todays alumni gathering, Fiveone hotel isn't that big, but it is enough to accommodate the alumni who are
coming!
The banquet hall, restaurant, and conference hall on the top floor are all arranged in a buffet style.
Elevators are the most convenient when it comes to going back and forth with the three halls, so maintenance
engineers were already on standby.
Even all the rooms have been vacated for the accommodation of those alumni who cannot go hat night.
Reese and Ava entered the banquet hall and saw several familiar faces. After entering the society, everyone's
temperament seemed to have undergone a series of change through time.
Finally, Reese and Ava found a sofa and sat down.
Soon, the sofa turned crowded with the alumni sitting there, talking and laughing.
When Luther cin, there's still a lot places to rest in, but he walked straight towards Reese.
He glanced at Ava and smiled at her, while saying, "Miss Ava, can you givethis seat?"
Ava pursed her lips, nodded and got up to sit on the other side.
Luther sat down next to Reese, and she turned stiff instantly.
Seeing them, Mark Daniels winked at Luther and smiled while saying, "Since we are here today to celebrate our
alumni gathering let's leave our contact information with each other. In the future, we can keep in touch and
help each other whether in work or in life. It would be meaningless if we'll just talk here, so, let's play the game
of kings!"
Luther may looked like a gentleman and is easy to talk to, but in fact, he was more difficult to get close to than
anyone else.
It's would be easy to let him talk a sentence, but it's too difficult to converse with
him.
But Mark can be regarded as Luther's close friend since then, and the relationship between the two has always
been very good.
Luther didn't say a word, which meant he agreed, and everyone else in the room shouted, asking how to play the
game.

Mark took out a dice box and explained, "Well, let's shake the dice first. There are six dice here. We will take
turns in rolling the points. The one with the highest number is the big king, and the one with the smallest
number is the little king. But I'll change the rules of the ga little bit. Everyone in our group can take turns to
sit in the dealership, and each tthe dealer can ask the big king and the little king to do something together,
and if the party is unwilling to do it, they will be fined ten glasses of wine, how about it?"
Hearing about the game's rule, the atmosphere suddenly cheered up, and everyone said that they had no
objections.
Mark shook it first, one two, two three, one four, one five, one six!
Add up to 23 points, not too high, not too low.
Everyone continued to shake.
When it was Reese's turn, she shook out the lowest record, five ones, one two, a total of seven points only!
She can only pray that someone can roll out six o'clock, otherwise, she'll beca little king.
Mark took the dice and shook it casually.
Mark's ears moved slightly, and he gave him a wink, and then Luther buckled the dice.
Uncovered, six six, just thirty-six o'clock, the undisputed king.
Reese opened her mouth, speechless for a long time.
When the next person rolled the dice, they were all between seven and thirty-six.
Mark smiled ambiguously, curled his lips and said, "Well... | won't make it difficult
for you, little king and big king, kiss each other, what do you think?"
This kind of ambiguous joke is what everyone likes to hear the most, let alone Luther.
This kind of opportunity is simply rare!
Everyone booed and shouted: "Kiss, kiss!"
