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

Lukas's handsome face turned slightly grim, and his voice sounded stiff. "I was just asking casually. No need to overthink it."

"Okay. I didn't think too much. Is there anything else, Mr. Strakovski?" Reese's voice was neither cold nor warm.

Lukas almost felt like he was going to cough up blood. He had never felt so frustrated before. Why did it feel like he was desperately trying to have a conversation with Reese?

His tone became stern, trying to appear as if he didn't care, as he replied, "I have nothing else to share except that Elias has requested to meet up tonight, and he suggested that I invite you. It's entirely your choice whether you attend or not."

Reese furrowed her brow. "Another drinking session?"

"What do you mean, 'another' drinking session?" Lukas's expression remained aloof.

Helpless, Reese could only sigh. "Mr. Strakovski, you got drunk last night. Have you forgotten already?"

Suddenly recalling last night's events, Lukas's voice grew somewhat uneasy. "I drank too much last night and lost my memory."

His response made Reese feel even more helpless. She had suspected he would forget. Otherwise, he wouldn't be talking to her so casually today. She responded calmly, "Mr. Strakovski, you got drunk last night. Are you planning to attend another drinking session tonight? I made plans to have dinner with friends, and I really don't have time. If you're going to go, try to drink less."
