Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 62

The door to the lounge swung open and out came only Stefan. The man who just played the role of a "peacemaker" was now lying in bed, half asleep.

It was a rainy day and quite refreshing. A perfect day to be in bed.

Lucinda thought about the crappy weather and how she couldn't get back to the coffee shop, so she decided to catch some Z's in Stefan's lounge. Then she drifted off without a care in the world.

She had no idea how long she had been sleeping when her stomach growled and woke her up. She grabbed her phone from the nightstand, glanced at the time, and it was already past one in the afternoon. No wonder her tummy was rumbling.

She jumped out of bed, ran her fingers through her hair, clipped her long hair at the back of her head, and dashed out.

"Stefan... Ike, you're here too?"

She saw her own brother sitting across from Stefan, their conversation interrupted by her sudden appearance.

Ike was here to discuss a partnership with Ascend Global on behalf of his company. They were so engrossed in their discussion that they even forgot to eat until Lucinda barged in.

Ike looked at his sister dressed in Stefan's clothes, then at Stefan, and noticed how Stefan was looking at his sister with such gentleness. Stefan quickly got up and walked over to Lucinda.

"Lucy, you're awake? Hungry, huh? I've asked the manager at Ascend Global Hotel to prepare some food. We can go eat now, no need to wait."

Ike suddenly realized Stefan didn't forget about eating because of his work, but he was intentionally waiting for Lucinda to wake up.

"I was woken up by my hunger."

Lucinda whispered, then asked him, "Why is my brother here?"
