Chapter 20
That one sentence made all the difference. Lucas Grey finally stopped rushing to hang up the phone.
He even wanted to chat a bit more with Sylvia Morgan!
It was normal for David Fox to want to kill him; Lucas Grey could accept that. But if David Fox wanted to go after the Grey family, that was absolutely unacceptable.
So, at a little past three in the afternoon, Lucas Grey arrived at the rooftop of the building Sylvia Morgan had told him about.
She was the only person in the massive swimming pool.
Wearing a bikini, she lounged on a unicorn float, basking in the sun.
Her fair skin gleamed under the sunlight, and her slim waist paired with her voluptuous curves made her look like Marilyn Monroe stepped out of a magazine.
Lucas Grey swallowed hard in his mind and cleared his throat. “Miss Morgan, isn’t this kind of place a little inappropriate for a business discussion?”
Sylvia Morgan chuckled, took off her sunglasses, and swam to the edge, beckoning him with a finger.
The intent was obvious, but Lucas Grey was still curious what she had to say, so he leaned in.
As soon as he did, Sylvia Morgan wrapped an arm around his neck and yanked him into the pool.
Splash!
Lucas Grey instantly turned into a drowned rat.
Above him, Sylvia Morgan’s playful laughter echoed. Lucas Grey wiped the water off his face, furious, and grabbed her float, pulling it down.
With a scream, Sylvia Morgan also fell into the water.
Feeling triumphant, Lucas Grey grinned, but before he could let out a laugh, Sylvia Morgan grabbed his leg underwater.
His eyes widened as he was dragged under.
The next moment, Sylvia Morgan wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him underwater.
...
[What the hell? Why is this woman suddenly kissing me? Is she nuts?]
Lucas Grey tried to struggle, but he was helpless in the water. Sylvia Morgan swam like a mermaid, her legs wrapping around him as she absorbed all the air from his lungs before surfacing first.
By the time Lucas Grey got out of the pool, she had already dried her hair with a towel and was sitting on a lounge chair sipping juice.
“Hey, I have a fiancée. You can’t just go around kissing people. Don’t you have any shame?”
Despite what he said, he remembered very well. Sylvia Morgan might look sexy, but she was actually extremely innocent. She had focused solely on martial arts and family responsibilities growing up, never caring about men.
It was exactly that innocence that made her fall for the male lead without realizing it.
But now, she had thrown herself at him. Hugging and kissing without warning. Her character had completely changed.
Thankfully, Lucas Grey was used to female leads collapsing their own personas by now...
As expected, even when insulted, Sylvia Morgan didn’t care. She sipped her juice and glanced at him. “You got it backwards. I only kissed you because I care about you.”
When she saw the news about his engagement to Rose White earlier, she nearly smashed her phone in anger.
She had thought that with her looks, taking him away from Rose White would be a piece of cake.
Who knew Rose White would move so fast?
If she didn’t step up her game, she might never get another chance to get close to Lucas Grey.
“Why do you care about me?”
