Chapter 208

Ever since they were divorced, he had not managed to sleep this well.

Having slept through the night, it was already daytime when he opened his eyes.

Ashlyn wasn’t around, so he took a bath before heading downstairs. Once he was out, a maid presented him with a new suit and tie.

“Mr. Nolan, this is for you.”

“Don’t worry, this is new,” Jared casually remarked with a lollipop in his mouth.

“Did you prepare it?” Lucas looked at him indifferently.

“My… Lyn prepared it.” Jared almost used the word ‘Boss’ but managed to correct himself in the nick of time.

Phew! I almost blew our cover.

Although he did not see Ashlyn, Lucas remained in a good mood.

With that, he wore the suit prepared by Ashlyn and went straight to Nolan Group tower.

In the president’s office, Lucas was going through his work.

As he enjoyed a good night’s sleep and had a brand new suit presented to him in the morning, he was in particularly high spirits that day.

Even when his secretary accidentally spilled coffee on his documents, he didn’t make a fuss.

He just let her off with instructions to reprint the document.

With that, she quickly returned to her office.

For almost two months, Lucas had been holding their feet to the fire every day with his cold and intimidating demeanor.

But today, he was like a totally different person. What is going on?

When she shared this with the head secretary, the latter sighed, “I don’t know what got into him either.

Four years ago, he always struck fear into our hearts at work. And then, we unexpectedly enjoyed four years of peace. But now, he seems to be back to his old self.”

Ever since graduation, she had joined the Nolan Group as a secretary and had slogged for many years before being promoted to head secretary. Therefore, she knew the Nolan Group like the back of her hand, including all of Lucas’ habits and preferences.

“Oh? Was Mr. Nolan much gentler during that four years?”

The junior secretary seemed puzzled.

“That goes without saying. He was the perfect gentleman then. But now, he is just a tyrant,” the head secretary muttered, “Anyway, enough of this. We might be fired for gossiping about the management.”

Meanwhile, Spencer suspected that Lucas and Ashlyn were back together.

Why else would Mr. Nolan be in such a good mood?

However, he didn’t dare ask and kept his speculation to himself.

At that moment, Lucas’ phone rang and Spencer caught a glimpse of it.

Hera.

Why is this woman still bothering Mr. Nolan?

Lucas shot a glance at Spencer who then knowingly answered the phone.

Before he could say anything, a coquettish voice spoke, “Lucas…”

Clearing his throat, Spencer answered with a professional tone, “I’m sorry, Ms. Chapman.”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a sharp shrill. “Why is it you? Where’s Lucas?”

Spencer could feel the pain from the shrill piercing his eardrums. “Mr. Nolan is having a management meeting and can’t answer your call. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“I’m not going to tell you what I want to say to Lucas. Just tell him to call me back once he is free,” Hera replied in an upset tone.

Before Spencer could answer, she slammed the phone and ended the call.

Hera’s nose was covered in bandage and it was all Ashlyn’s fault. If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t look so miserable, let alone be boycotted by the fashion industry.

After she left the hospital the other day, she bundled herself up with clothes and visited her plastic surgeon. There, she requested for her nose to be redone anew.

Currently, she was recuperating from the surgery.

However, she put all the blame on Ashlyn.

Just the thought of Ashlyn alone infuriated her so much that she wanted to drink Ashlyn’s blood and skin her alive.

In the Nolan Group president’s office.

When Spencer saw that the call had ended, he cordially said, “She hung up.”
