Chapter 13
As she said this, Sylvia Morgan’s middle finger crossed lightly against her index finger.
In the West, this gesture signifies a lie and invalidates the vow.
But Lucas Grey didn’t know that. He didn’t notice it either.
Right now, he was completely shocked.
“Sylvia Morgan, do you even know what you’re saying?”
“Of course I know. I’m confessing to you. I like you.”
Sylvia Morgan smiled with full confidence, a smile of someone determined to win.
Taking something that belonged to someone else was her favorite thing to do.
Especially if it came from a woman he didn’t even like. That made it all the easier.
Boom.
Lucas Grey felt as if lightning had struck him.
[Bullshit! She’s absolutely talking nonsense. How could she possibly fall in love with me at first sight? If this were real, it wouldn’t just be a collapse of my character. It would be the collapse of the entire worldview!]
[No, she’s only saying this because she hasn’t met the male lead yet. As soon as she sees him, she’s bound to be drawn in. It’s a law of this world!]
[When do they meet again? That’s right, after the engagement banquet, when the male lead takes Rose White away, he chases President Kang to the Morgan family to avenge her. That’s when he meets Sylvia Morgan. They fight, admire each other, and begin their love-hate relationship.]
At this thought, Lucas Grey took a deep breath.
He just had to hang in there.
If he could hold out until she met the male lead, everything would go back on track.
So he gave an awkward smile. “You’re the eldest daughter of the Morgan family. Why waste your time on someone like me, a playboy who already has someone in his heart?”
“How about this? I’ll take you home first, and we’ll talk another time.”
Sylvia Morgan let out a soft laugh.
Sending her home already?
Wishful thinking.
“You take me out for a drive and won’t even treat me to a cup of coffee? Is that how you treat your guests?”
Well, that did sound kind of rude.
Lucas Grey scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
It was all this woman’s fault for saying such crazy things. She had thrown his mind into chaos. He just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
“Alright then, I’ll buy you a coffee.”
Seeing a café nearby, Lucas Grey parked the car and walked in with her.
Who would have thought, just as they sat down, his phone would ring?
He looked at it and saw that the caller was Rose White.
What the hell? Why would she be calling him?
Lucas Grey was instantly on edge, afraid that something had gone wrong without his knowing. He hurriedly picked up. “Hello? Baby Rose, what’s up?”
Rose?
Sylvia Morgan was stirring her coffee. When she heard those two words, she immediately lifted her head.
Lucas Grey turned his body slightly to avoid her gaze. From the other end came a cold voice: “Can’t I call you if I don’t have anything to say?”
“O-of course you can. You calling me is something I dream about. I’m flattered, really!”
Sylvia Morgan took a sip of her coffee, expressionless as she listened to his flattering tone. She gave a sneer.
Truly a simp.
At that moment, Rose White had just parked her car outside the café.
While talking on the phone, she stepped out and walked toward the entrance.
She didn’t know why, but where his sweet talk used to make her feel nothing but disgust, it now gave her a strange sense of satisfaction and superiority.
Still, she was perfectly aware that this little brat was probably cursing her in his heart while buttering her up with his mouth.
