Aveline shifted her gaze from Lucas to the laptop on the table. She decided to sit down and began scrolling through the reference images, carefully studying each one.

The images showcased the evolution of modern domestic villa architecture, with many designs incorporating foreign elements that Lucas clearly disliked. As a result, he wanted something more distinct and personalized.

Engrossed in her task, Aveline didn't notice when Lucas moved behind her. Suddenly, he leaned down, placing his hands on the table and effectively trapping her in his embrace.

"I think this one looks good," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the screen.

Aveline stiffened, turning her head slightly to avoid his proximity. "If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you need to be so close?"

Lucas tilted his head to look at her, his eyes dark and unreadable, with a flicker of something she couldn't quite identify.

"I'm just making sure you can hear me," he replied in a low voice.

Aveline rolled her eyes and refocused on the screen. "If you prefer something more traditional, you could go for a classic English garden style-it's really elegant." Lucas asked, "Do you like the garden style?"

Aveline nodded. "Yes, I do. With rock formations and flowing water, it creates a peaceful environment where you can enjoy different views without even leaving home."
