Chapter 67 As if he’d seen a ghost

After meeting Tobias, Kaia made her way to the law firm.

It wasn’t until the afternoon, amidst her busy work, that she noticed Lucien had called.

She stepped into the pantry to return his call.

In the meeting room, Lucien, as cold as ice, thawed at the sight of her name on his phone. “Hold on a second. I’ll take this call,” he said, rising from his seat.

Frank looked as if he’d seen a ghost. Since when did their CEO step out during a meeting to answer a call? It was unheard of!

The executives exchanged bewildered glances. Was there some kind of emergency?

Once outside the meeting room, Lucien couldn’t help the smile tugging at his lips. His voice came out softer than he intended, with an unmistakable trace of affection.

“My girlfriend finally checked her phone, huh?”

Kaia felt heat rush to her ears.

Girlfriend?

Since when had they become a couple?

At best, they were pretending.

She cleared her throat, trying to mask her flustered state. “I was swamped this afternoon and didn’t get the chance. What’s up?”

“Nothing much,” Lucien said, casually leaning against a wall. “Just wanted to check if my girlfriend had lunch.”

Kaia blinked, thrown off by his easy concern. “I had a salad.”

Lucien paused. “…Are you on a diet?”
