Chapter 13
Sandy was even more embarrassed. Last night, she wanted to know that it was Lucas who brought her drunk here.
"Thank you about last night."
Seeing her in a hurry, Lucas raised his eyebrows, glanced at Hattie calmly, and then walked towards the kitchen.
"Last night was just a matter of ease. Now that you're awake, let's have a meal together in the morning. I just have a few comments about the Steves corporation's design draft."
Sandy wanted to leave directly. After what happened last night, she was even more uncomfortable when she was with Lucas. But when she heard these words, thinking of how natural he was when facing her, she hesitated at first but took off the shoes again.
Hattie smiled and took the bag in her hand, "Miss Sandy, I made porridge specially for you. It's best for those who are sick to drink it."
Sandy nodded and said thank you, and walked towards the restaurant.
The breakfast style on the table is very simple. Probably to cater to her drunken state last night, the breakfast is very light.
Sandy saw Lucas pick up the side dishes at random and put them in his bowl, and ate breakfast unhurriedly. She picked up a small steamed bun and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Johnson, I don't know if you have any comments on our design draft?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pinch of green vegetables was put into his bowl.
Lucas withdrew his hand calmly in her surprised gaze, "Don't talk while eating."
"..." Sandy always felt uncomfortable looking at the vegetables. At the same time, she was a little confused. It was obviously he said that she would stay for breakfast because he wanted to discuss the design draft.
But she also knew that she couldn't offend the big Buddha in front of her, especially, they have something important to discuss.
Breakfast was eaten quietly.
Lucas was sitting opposite Sandy. It was originally a very ordinary meal, but it was as elegant as Western food that he had eaten.
Sandy couldn't help but thought of the comments made to him by the group of women in the office yesterday. Such a man is indeed the best among the first-class.
After eating, seeing Lucas wiping his mouth gracefully, Sandy just wanted to ask about the Galaxy Bay project, but he got up and walked upstairs, leaving only one sentence, "I will send you back later. Just stay. Let's talk about it on the way."
Sandy choked and wanted to say that she didn't need him to send her off. She would just take a taxi by herself, but he had already entered the bedroom.
When the man changed his suit and the two took the elevator to the underground parking lot, they met a middle-aged man on the elevator.
The middle-aged man, also in a black suit, quietly glanced at Sandy for several times, and finally couldn't help but ask Lucas who was aside, "Nephew, is this the girlfriend you are dating now?"
Sandy was a little embarrassed when he looked at her. When she heard what he said, her face suddenly blushed. Just when she wanted to explain, she saw Lucas faintly nodded at the middle-aged man, "Uncle, you're going to the company so early today, huh."
The middle-aged man chuckled, then glanced at Sandy and said, "You also know that we ran to study medicine. There is no one who inherits the mantle at home. I am as blessed as your father. If we do it early, we can leave the stall and play everywhere after."
The two men smiled tacitly.
Sandy felt a little irritated.
After getting in the car, the car immediately drove into the traffic.
The traffic in Junction town was a bit heavy. Sitting next to Lucas, Sandy always felt unnatural. Seeing the man still didn't speak, she couldn't help turning her head and looking at the man with perfect cheeks beside him, "Mr. Johnson, I think you should explain that I am not yours..." At this point, her face was slightly embarrassed.
It is easy to mislead others, thinking that she is his...girlfriend.
From the corner of Lucas's eyes, seeing her tangled look, he curled the corners of his lips and asked faintly, "Do you know my preferences?"
It's too obvious to change the subject.
Sandy was more entangled, but seeing that he was finally about to enter the topic she wanted to talk about, she had to nod her head helplessly, "I think that no one in Junction town knows your preference, but I only heard some rumors about you. For example, the official said you prefer new classical style, but Mr. Johnson’s family prefers a modernist style and a simple atmosphere." She paused and turned her head to look at the man driving. “I don’t know if you have any opinion on the architectural style of the Galaxy Bay community this time?"
Not only the interior design, but the architectural design is the highlight of the competition for the Galaxy Bay project.
Only half of Lucas's cheek appeared in Sandy's line of sight.
The window on his side was half open, so the sun shining diagonally over him and the faint gold sprinkled on him, making him less indifferent and softer.
"Although the Galaxy Bay community is a high-end community, it is only an apartment community." His voice is low and deep, but he has a clear and pleasant sound in the early morning. "The neoclassical style can be applied to the overall style of the community, but it is not suitable for the interior design."
Sandy paused; a flash of light flashed in her eyes.
"Mr. Johnson, I will definitely work hard to draw the design draft well!"
Sandy was excited for a while and couldn't help but said it to the man in front of her.
Commitment. Her eyes were shining and still has a silent look. She has a gentle face and because of this smile, she was a lot brighter.
Lucas looked at the small face in front of her with a smile on his face. It turned out that looking at her just a little bit can make him so satisfied.
In the latter part of the journey, the conversation between the two gradually became more natural.
Until Sandy got out of the car, she said thank you, and walked towards Henry's villa.
Behind her, a deep gaze has been watching her far away.
Lucas lit a cigarette between his fingers, but didn't smoke it and just let the cigarette burn. He thought of the name that Sandy had been murmuring after rolling into his arms last night, and his eyes suddenly narrowed with a hint of force and gloom.
The next second, he stubbed out the cigarette, drove the steering wheel, and left the road directly.
...
After Sandy got out of the car, she was uneasy.
This anxiety originated from the man who had just sent her back.
Although she tried to behave more natural in the morning, the longer she woke up, the deeper she remembered last night. Apart from the fact that Lucas sent her to her apartment, she also remembered other things, such as—
When she was lost in the middle of last night, she felt that she was held by him in his arms.
Sandy didn't know Lucas very well, but she also knew how resolute this man was in the market and how unkind he was to women.
So, why should he be so close to her?
Thinking of the incident two years ago, Sandy suddenly felt a headache...
Before opening the door of the villa, Thea greeted her when she heard the door opening.
"Sandy, where did you go last night? You turned off your phone when I called you. Henry found you in the middle of the night and almost died of anxiety."
Seeing the cyan underneath Thea's eyes, Sandy whispered softly, "Mom, I stayed with...Tanya for one-night last night. Sorry, my phone is out of power, so I didn't receive your call. "
Of course, she couldn't talk about staying with Lucas for one night.
Thea breathed a sigh of relief, sighed again, and took her hand, "Sandy, mom knows that you are a good woman. Henry used to be wrong, but now he is slowly changing. When he learned last night that you haven't returned home yet, he drove out the car again to find you for most of the night, and just came back, you... Hey, I have to tell you, I know it is not easy for a husband and wife to be together sometimes, but don't be angry with him... …"
