Chapter 42

Unable to cover the nearly hundred-thousand-dollar dinner bill, Linda had no choice but to call Lucas.

Lucas, who had returned to his company by now, likely wasn't strapped for cash anymore.

When he heard she spent nearly a hundred thousand on dinner, Lucas' voice carried a hint of irritation, "Linda, were you dining on dragon meat? A meal for ninety-eight thousand?"

Linda's voice was filled with grievance, "I got an exclusive interview with Connor and was treating my colleagues. It was Chloe who ordered the meals. I didn't realize she ordered so much food, including some very expensive wine."

The mention of Chloe made Lucas frown. His tone softened considerably towards Linda, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. It was Chloe's doing, then."

After a brief pause, Lucas said, "I'm nearby. I'll be right there."
