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

Lucas leaned in closer, his face only inches from hers.

Seeing her cool, indifferent expression, he smirked slightly. "Aveline, are you just pretending not to know me now that you've gotten what you wanted?"

Aveline frowned, "When did I ever pretend not to know you?"

"Then why won't you let me have a kiss?" Lucas countered.

Aveline was at a loss for words. She pushed him away and stood up, saying, "Lucas, what we have is just a transaction. I hope you won't complicate it with anything else. It won't do either of us any good." Lucas looked at her overly composed face and chuckled, "But I think it does me a lot of good."

"Will you do what I asked or not?" Aveline demanded, clearly frustrated by his persistence.

"Of course," Lucas replied as he moved closer to her, his voice soothing, "Since you asked, I'll do it, and I'll make sure it's done perfectly."

Satisfied with his answer, Aveline turned and left.

With Lucas' help, she wouldn't have to worry about sending Hilda away. She decided to return to Cloudflare City today.

"You're leaving already? So soon? Can't you stay a few more days?" Zachary asked, trying to persuade her to stay when he heard she was leaving.
