Julian gave a half-hearted smile. “Well, that’s good. That’s really good.”

Jude added, “Kaia is head over heels for her husband, you know. I just told her to be careful, to watch out in case she got played, and guess what? She got mad at me.

“If you ask me, after getting married, a woman’s gotta keep her head on straight. You never know these days. Guys lie through their teeth. Shame she won’t listen.

“But hey, I can’t say too much. All I can do is keep an eye out for her. If that husband of hers ever dares to treat her badly, I’ll be the first one to deal with him.”

Lucien, trying hard to hold back his grin, felt the corners of his mouth tugging up so far they nearly reached his ears. Quietly, he decided Jude wasn’t a bad guy at all.

Julian’s assistant was startled to see Lucien standing just outside the office and paused for a moment before asking politely, “Are you here to see Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Graves?”

The office door had been left slightly ajar, and Julian, sharp-eared as always, immediately stood up and came out to greet him. Catching the subtle look in his own CEO’s eyes, he gave a stiff smile. “Oh, Mr. Graves, I didn’t realize you were here

Lucien said, “No worries. I just came by to ask about the project’s progress.” He made a show of peering into the office and said, “Oh, Mr. Halston, you’re here too? Don’t mind me, I won’t get in the way.”

Jude jumped to his feet in alarm. “Mr. Graves! Oh, uh, right, of

course.”

So, he and Julian then just stood there and watched as Lucien practically skipped away with a hint of a smirk playing at his lips.

Jude said, “See that, Mr. Rhodes? Mr. Graves is actually pretty approachable. He even smiled at us just now.”

Julian was too stunned to respond. Jude had practically sung his praises to the heavens, so of course Lucien was all smiles.

He honestly couldn’t figure out how Jude kept managing to land on his feet. Even without trying, he somehow ended up flattering Lucien perfectly!

The guy had unbelievable luck!

When Kaia was just about to get off work, Lucien suddenly told her that he would be picking her up for a dinner gathering that evening.
