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.

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.

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.

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.
