Lukas wanted the woman beside him to leave, but when he saw Reese looking at him, he remembered how she looked while talking with James.

He tightened his jaw slightly, deciding not to ask the other woman to move, and leaned back on the sofa casually.

Reese glanced at this scene and quickly turned her gaze away.

She felt a bit disappointed, as she had intended to have a conversation with the other woman.

Frowning a little, Reese tried to focus on Lukas. She kept staring at him for a moment without realizing it.

Lukas had also come directly from work, dressed in a suit and tie.

When he noticed Reese's gaze, his annoyance lessened a bit. He unconsciously reached out and loosened his tie, revealing a seductive knot at his throat.

Seeing him like this, Reese's mind flickered, and a word popped into her head: "poppy" - dangerous and alluring, something that draws people in even though it's deadly.

Reese pressed her lips together, reminding herself not to be swayed by Lukas's charm. After all, she was aware of the danger he posed.

In a daze, she thought to herself that sometimes, even if someone doesn't give you a reason to doubt them, having inappropriate thoughts could still lead to trouble, much like a moth drawn to a flame.

The celebrity sitting next to Lukas was Rose Gibbs, a second-tier star. She had pushed hard to get an invitation to this party, knowing that there would be influential people present, including Lukas. She hoped to benefit from these connections.

Rose had noticed Lukas as soon as he arrived. His aura was unmistakably powerful and superior, an air that was hard to miss. She understood that powerful people often maintained a low profile.
