Chapter 3124
Ivy answered honestly, "It's been three years since I last saw him, so it's true that I don't know him that well. Regardless, he's helped me in the past, and I will never forget that." "Well, your brother is actually planning to invest in Lucas' company; that much is true. He knows that Lucas helped you before and sees this as a way of repaying him." "Oh, what else did Hayden say? Did he have a message for me?" Ivy asked. Ms. Feake shook her head. "No. He just told me to keep an eye on Lucas." Ms. Feake proceeded to give Ivy her phone number, and as Ivy saved it to her phone, she asked, "Ms. Feake, what's your name?" "Missy Feake." "Hahaha! That sounds exactly like 'Ms. Feake'!" "Funny, right?" Missy said. "A little. Can I call you Missy from now on, then?" "You can call me whatever you want, princess." Ivy could not help but burst into laughter. The two emerged from the restroom, only to see Caspian rushing ahead of them in a flurry. Missy immediately called ou

Without hesitation, Caspian said, "I've seen people like that before! If I had a cousin that pretty, I would obey her every word, too!" Lucas was instantly rendered speechless. "Should I book the restaurant for lunch now? Ms. Feake specifically asked to dine with you, so you ought to oblige." "You need to come along," Lucas said. "Hahaha! Look how scared you are. It's almost as though you are worried that Ms. Feake will swallow you whole." "Don't you think she's weird? She acts just like Ivy did when she first came here." Caspian shook his head. "It's not the same. Ivy didn't call before coming here; but Ms. Feake did, and we agreed for her to come." Lucas realized that there was no point in arguing with Caspian and waved him off. "Go ahead and book the restaurant." After a pause, he continued, "You said Ivy and Ms. Feake are getting along, right? Bring Ivy along as well." "All right! I will let her know." Caspian emerged from Lucas' office and ran into Ivy, who retur

Ivy was puzzled as she had not said much. "I've met many people, and those who are both poor and spiritually rich are few and far between. At least, I've never come across one, so your family must be wealthy. If Lucas thinks so, then I believe in his judgment." "All right. Having money isn't a crime, right? Can I continue working at your company?" Ivy asked. Caspian assured her, "Of course! If you come from a wealthy family, I won't feel guilty asking you to do things." Ivy found herself at a loss for words. "All right. Go ahead and make the reservation! Remember, you must learn Ms. Feake's preferences. Order dishes she likes. Lucas and I aren't picky eaters." Ivy said, "Lucas is a bit picky." Caspian seemed surprised. "Huh? Is he? I've known him for so long, and I've never seen him being picky! He eats whatever I buy, and he's never told me he dislikes anything!" Ivy agreed: "All right, got it. I'll take care of it." With that said, Ivy left. Caspian scratched his

"Caspian, are you making fun of me?" Ivy asked. "Of course not. This is the first time I've seen so many women interested in Lucas. It's exciting!" Caspian said. Ivy fell silent. Caspian elbowed Lucas and said, "You are in luck this year! Feeling troubled?" Lucas glared at him. "You're overthinking this! Is romance all you think about?" Caspian flinched. "I'll just keep quiet and watch the drama unfold." Ivy picked up the jug and poured herself a glass of water. Caspian immediately handed her his glass. "I want water, too." Ivy poured him a glass and turned to Lucas. "Do you want water?" Lucas simply handed her his glass without a word. As Ivy finished pouring him a glass of water, Missy arrived alone. Caspian promptly smiled and asked, "Ms. Feake, where's your companion?" Missy replied, "He's resting at the hotel. I didn't ask him to come." "Oh! Then I'll have the waiter bring the dishes out now." With that, Caspian signaled the waiter to start serving them.

Ivy immediately stopped them. "He can't drink. Let's just drink juice," she said before standing up to order juice. Missy grabbed her hand and said, "Your boss hasn't said anything, so why are you panicking? I'm just a woman; it's not like I could do anything to him." Ivy gave up, and Missy raised her glass to click it against Lucas'. "Lucas, I know you've just graduated and might not have a high tolerance for alcohol, but it's fine. You need to drink more to build up your tolerance! This wine doesn't have a high alcohol content anyway!" She immediately finished her wine in one big gulp, and Ivy swallowed hard at the sight. Missy set down her glass and gestured at Lucas. "Aren't you going to drink? Why are you just staring at me?" As he had downed his wine earlier, Lucas' cheeks were flushed. He rarely drank so he was already feeling a bit tipsy. "Ms. Feake, I can drink, but if I have this glass of wine, we won't be able to discuss anything." Lucas' clear aversion and dista

"Did you come to Taronia for Lucas?" Caspian asked "Not entirely. Even if Lucas wasn't here, I still would have come." Caspian nodded. "I've known him for so many years, and I've only ever heard him mention one woman." Ivy's eyebrows arched. "And who is that?" Caspian continued, "His former nanny. She passed away, and he dragged me to church to pray for her one day." A bitter look crossed Ivy's face. Caspian went on, "He was quite emotional that day. He'd been drinking. Once he sobered up, he didn't remember any of it." "So he prayed for me before..." she murmured. "What?" Ivy shook her head with a smile. "It's nothing! I just find it hard to believe that Lucas, who doesn't seem superstitious, would pray for someone who's passed away." Caspian chuckled. "Hahaha! He had too much to drink that day. While I was helping him home, he saw the church and refused to go any farther. So we went inside to pray. I asked him who it was for, and he said it was for his former nann

"Don't misunderstand me! I don't consider you a substitute for my ex. You're much better than him. My ex had no ambition and nowhere near your level of competence..." Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Ms. Feake, I'm not interested in your personal life." Missy chuckled. "Then what are you interested in? Lucas, there's no one else here so you don't need to be so cautious." "I'm not being cautious; I'm speaking the truth. Ms. Feake, give up on any notions you might have. I'm not interested in you." Lucas' tone grew sterner. "I'm not interested in investing in your father's company either. If it wasn't for Caspian's insistence, I would never have met with you." Lucas' cold and detached attitude shocked Missy. She had never seen such an indifferent man, apart from Hayden. She had once been infatuated with Hayden. She had been coldly rejected by him in a similarly straightforward manner. "Could you please explain why you don't like me? I'm good-looking, and I have a great body..." Missy

Lucas' face was still flushed from the alcohol. "What did you think would happen between us?" He paused and glanced at Ivy. "Where's Caspian?" "He's probably sleeping in your office. Your face is quite red. Do you want to go home and rest?" Ivy asked. "I'm not drunk," Lucas retorted. "I can drive you home, you know! I drove Caspian's car today, and I realized I'm not too bad at driving." Ivy followed behind him as he walked on. "Where's Ms. Feake? Did you drop her off at the hotel?" she asked as they entered the office. "No, we just chatted briefly and went our separate ways," Lucas replied. "What did you talk about? I feel like Ms. Feake has a thing for you. Did she confess her feelings or do something to you?" Ivy inquired. "You seem to know everything. Are you assuming that or did she tell you about it?" Lucas asked. "It's just a guess! Her behavior was quite obvious." Ivy followed Lucas into the office. "What did you two actually talk about?" Lucas frowned. "Are you
