Chapter 279

"Sit in the front passenger seat," Lucas commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Sophia had no choice but to comply. "Okay."

Back at Celestial Heights, Sophia followed Lucas to the entrance of the presidential suite. Desmond took out a key card, his heart pounding.

Once inside, Sophia said, "There are so many rooms here. Let me stay. It'll be easier to take care of you, okay?"

Sophia looked at Lucas. "Lucas, let me stay here. I promise I won't disturb you. I can cook for you and take care of you. Please?"

Lucas responded, "It's not appropriate."
