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

Lucas withdrew his cold gaze and said, "Get back to work."

Desmond hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Mr. Tudor, there's a message from the main house. Madam Barbara wants to see you." Lucas remained indifferent. "Okay."

He only gave a curt acknowledgment without indicating whether he would go or not.

Desmond carefully continued, "Mr. Tudor, no matter what Madam Barbara has done, she's getting on in years, and her health isn't what it used to be. She just wants to see you... Perhaps you should consider-" Lucas glanced at him. "You're so diligent. Should I give you a raise?"

Desmond was taken aback at first, then chuckled awkwardly. "Actually, there's no need for that trouble. A bit more in the year-end bonus would do."

"You've got some nerve," Lucas said coolly.

Desmond grinned. "Mr. Tudor, I'm just saying. You don't have to take it seriously. I've got things to do, so I'll be going now."

Before Lucas had a chance to get angry, Desmond made a quick exit!

Lucas' eyes returned to the document in front of him, but no matter how long he stared, he couldn't seem to focus on a single word.
