Chloe turned abruptly, her voice stuttering, "M-Mr. Strakovski..."

Reese looked at Lukas in surprise, her heart racing at his sudden appearance.

Lukas's expression was icy as he gazed at Chloe, "Miss Roberts is correct. I am indeed married."

Chloe was so shocked that her mouth could fit an egg.

Lukas took a step forward, his gaze dark and focused on Chloe, "Designer Preston, do I need to make a grand announcement whenever I get married?"

Chloe, already feeling guilty, became even more frightened when she saw Lukas's cold face. "No, Mr. Strakovski, I didn't mean that, I just..."

Lukas gave a disdainful snort, "I don't care what you mean. Let me make it clear: whether I'm single or married, it has nothing to do with you. Do you know what kind of people I detest the most?"

Chloe appeared dumbstruck, staring blankly at Lukas, shaking her head in confusion.

Lukas's expression turned dangerously intense, "I detest people who discuss my private matters. Is that clear?"

Chloe quickly nodded in fear.

"Leave," Lukas's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Chloe nodded frantically and hurried back to the private room.
