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

Usually, it was a miracle if he didn't work them to the ground, but today, he was offering her a break? This thought crossed her mind, and she voiced it aloud, "Boss, are you feeling alright today?"

Lucas was speechless.

Among his subordinates, only Maria dared speak to him like that, with no regard for formalities. But he couldn't do anything about it-Maria was both highly capable and incredibly loyal.

Lucas glanced at Aveline beside him, holding back his temper as he said, "Do you want the time off or not?"

"Of course I do!" Maria agreed without hesitation. Lucas was showing her some grace today, and she wasn't about to waste the opportunity.

"Just let me know once the date is set," Lucas replied calmly.

"Got it," Maria answered, then quickly ended the call.
