As the CEO of the company, Lucas naturally had certain privileges. So, was it Lucas who had arranged for the flowers to be sent?

Lucas pointed toward the hotel logo. "Grandma knows we're both in Pearlia. Let's video call her later."

Evelyn thought it over and agreed in the end. "Alright."

They had already signed an agreement to keep it a secret for a year. Lucas did not need to remind her of the unspoken rules.

She withdrew her gaze and walked back inside.

Lucas followed her in at a leisurely pace.
