The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 20

The next day, bright and early, Allison got a call from Lucian. Well, more accurately, it was a call for Penelope.

He invited her to go somewhere with him that night.

Having already turned him down once yesterday, Allison didn’t dare say no again. So she hurriedly put on heavy makeup, trying her best to look like Penelope.

After lunch, Lucian’s driver, Dominic, arrived on time to pick her up.

They headed to an underground auction.

By the time Allison arrived, every seal was filled. Dominic led her upstairs, all the way to a room.

As soon as the door swung open, the first thing Allison saw was a man on the sofa, holding a glass of wine.

Despite her makeup, Allison was still scared he might see through her, so she chose to sit as far away from him as possible.

Lucian’s gaze fell on her face, her heavy makeup making him frown slightly. He gestured for her to come over, “Come here.”

Allison pursed her lips, knowing she couldn’t avoid him, so she slowly shuffled over with her head down.

Before she could get close, he suddenly reached out and yanked her into his arms.
