After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Lucas' gaze was cold and deep as he responded, "Even as friends, you should approach business with seriousness. If your proposal can't convince others, handing it directly to me is just a waste of my time." Judy bit her lip slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of disappointment as she looked at him. "Mr. Tudor, must you always be so harsh? I'm really curious-how did your ex-wife manage to live with you?" Lucas replied, "So, you're curious about other people's married lives now? That's a bit inappropriate, don't you think?"

Judy pouted playfully. "You know that's not what I meant."

Lucas remained indifferent. "Actually, I don't."

A strange feeling crossed Judy's mind. Lucas' attitude toward her seemed different now. She remembered how he used to treat her well, even to the point of neglecting Aveline for her.

That special attention had caused Sophia to constantly target her. But it didn't matter-Sophia was never really her competition.

Now that Sophia had been kicked out of the Summer family, she was out of the picture for good. The only woman left by Lucas' side was her. Suppressing her doubts, Judy calmed herself and said, "Mr. Tudor, I've booked a table at a great restaurant for lunch. Why don't we try it together?" Lucas paused while flipping through his files. "Alright."

A flash of joy crossed Judy's eyes as she said, "Great, I'll see you at lunch."

She turned and left, but Lucas' expression remained composed, unaffected by her excitement. He picked up his phone and contacted Maria.

Maria, upon receiving his instructions, couldn't help but feel exasperated.

"Boss, you're going to lunch with another woman, but you want me to bring Aveline to the same place? Aren't you worried that your plan might backfire, and Aveline will just ignore you?" Maria couldn't even begin to express how absurd this situation was. How could someone be so bold in their approach? Wasn't there a simpler way to pursue someone?

But Lucas remained cold. "Just do as I said."

Maria rolled her eyes. "Fine, I got it."

...

At the studio, Aveline had just turned on her computer when Maria walked over and said, "Sidney has a family emergency. You'll need to join me for lunch instead." Aveline nodded. "No problem."
