Silence fell between them following the exchange. Lucas resumed his meal, his brow furrowed in displeasure. What was wrong with the chef here today? Why did everything taste so off?

During their meal, Lucas’s curiosity overcame his irritation, prompting him to inquire, “Johnson, why do you have feelings for Belinda? What’s so special about her?” What on earth was so great about that woman?

Lucas’s gaze dropped, his long lashes veiling whatever emotion flickered in his eyes, rendering his thoughts unreadable to Johnson.

Looking at Lucas’s reaction, Johnson spoke up, his smile tinged with relief. “I’m actually glad to hear you don’t have feelings for her, Lucas. Otherwise, I’d have no chance competing against you.”
