A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Chapter 163

Reese pivoted in surprise, her attention now squarely fixed on Lukas. "Mr Strakovski, is there something else?"

Lukas's mood, already soured by her casual tone, seemed to darken further.

He couldn't help but feel that Reese's formal gratitude was merely an act driven by his assistance.

Suddenly, his thought process halted abruptly, a jarring realization hitting him. Did he desire something more than Reese's gratitude?

His face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He felt like his brain had gone haywire.

"Are you interested in seeking out your biological parents?" Lukas maintained his outward composure, his voice steady.

Reese pursed her lips, shaking her head gently. "Not at the moment. They abandoned me once. They might not want to be found in this lifetime."

Lukas's expression remained impassive. "Understood, you're dismissed."

As Reese returned to her station in the design department, Raven approached her with an air of urgency. "Reese, a client is waiting for you in the reception area. They're here for a personalized jewelry design."

Quickly regaining her focus, Reese nodded. "Fetch the contract and my notebook. I'll join them shortly."

Raven promptly retrieved the requested items, and Reese stepped into the reception area, her professional smile in place. "Hello. I assume you're here for a custom jewelry design?"

The visitor returned her smile. "I'm here on behalf of my employer."
