Suddenly, Reese remembered the twhen she had moved into the Hill Crest One Residence for the first time.
She had accidentally fallen off the bed, which had caused a bruise on the corner of Lukas' mouth. Back then, he
had just had to put up with it in silence. Now, he had no problem with the ambiguous appearance of the wound,
even flaunting it at work.
But why did it feel like Lukas was showing off? Reese's face twitched, wondering if she was overthinking things.
As Reese pondered, in the CEO's office...
As soon as Elias walked through the door, his eyes landed on the injury at the corner of Lukas' mouth.
"Oh my, what happened to the corner of your mouth?" he exclaimed with a laugh. Lukas raised his eyebrows and
looked at him. "My little white cat did that."
"Scratched or bitten?" Elias couldn't help but grin mischievously. "It seems to be pretty intense."
Lukas kept his cool, "It was pretty intense. Are you jealous?"

Elias put his hand over his heart mockingly, "My, my, how shameless of you, Lukas Strakovski, flaunting it like
that as if you've got a girlfriend?"
Lukas shot back, "I don't know. Maybe you should get one, too."
Elias' disappointment was obvious as he sat down on the sofa in the office with a hand on his chest and utter
disbelief in his face. "How cyou have a girlfriend? Being single is awes- you can do whatever you
want!"
Lukas had a look at him and decided to ignore his comments.
Elias was persistent, "You can't do that. Once you get a girlfriend, don't you ever forget about your friends!"
Lukas gave him a look, "Who does anyone need friends for?"
Elias was amazed, "Lukas, you've changed so much in just one night. | hardly recognize you! Where is my friend
Lukas and what did you do to him?"
Lukas leaned back lazily in his chair, "Of course, I'm going to change. I have a girlfriend now."
Elias, half teasing, half amused, inquired, "About Little Reese scratching your mouth, does your girlfriend know
about it? Is she okay with it?"
Lukas, realizing Elias’ intention, smiled gently, "She's just as lovely as Little Reese, so of course she doesn't
mind."
Of course, Lukas knew that Elias was deliberately teasing him.
Elias' playful mockery continued, "My God, Lukas! You really have beca goner. Once you've fallen into
Reese's trap, I'm afraid there's not going to be any way out for you!"
Lukas, unimpressed, remarked, "If you want to pullout, | won't move."
Elias shrugged, "All right, | wish you luck. But when you think about it, you and Reese are quite a pair. Do you

Lukas replied with a raised eyebrow, "It's good to know we're a perfect match."
Elias couldn't take the teasing anymore, "All right, dude, just stop showing off your affection so much, okay?"
Lukas, undisturbed, began to read a document and calmly explained, "It depends on my mood."
Elias had originally wanted to inquire about Lukas' evening, but now, seeing his confident demeanor, he felt
there was no need to pry further.
Changing the subject, Elias asked, "Now that you two are together, when are you going to invite us to dinner?"
Lukas raised an eyebrow, "Us?"
Elias explained with a grin, "Yes,and Ava. I'm your good friend, and Ava is Reese's best friend. If you two are
together, the four of us should definitely go out for dinner!"
Lukas looked at him, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "You want to have dinner with Ava?"
