“Ha! How would you know if I hadn't had the chance? If I ever got the opportunity to sleep with him, I'd have his baby and be the next Mrs. Luther.”
“Fine, fine. I'll call you Mrs. Luther, then. Happy?”
Meanwhile, the subject of their scandalous conversation had an angry grimace on the man's face.

Perhaps it was his piercing gaze, but it didn't take long before the two ladies instinctively turned toward him.
Unsurprisingly, one glance was all it took for them to be captivated by Artemis' darkly handsome face.
“Wow, Carol, that man's so handsome. Since when did we have such a good-looker move into the condominium?”

Soon, the realization hit Lily.
