I turned around and coldly looked at him. “Mr Strakovski, is there anything else?”
“It’s not a big deal. Just stay away from James in the future. He’s not someone I get along
with,” Lukas said with a frown.
“All right, Mr Strakovski, I understand.” I nodded.
Then I left.
Lukas rubbed his temples, feeling uncomfortable with my attitude that night.
I returned to my room, tossed the sleeve link on the bedside table, and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, Lukas stood in place for a while before going to the guest room to take a shower.
After the shower, he stood at the entrance of the master bedroom for a few seconds, thinking about the conversation he had with me. He couldn’t help but feel that even hugging me to sleep didn’t feel quite right.
He turned around and walked towards the guest room.
Before going to sleep, he popped a mint candy into his mouth. Since he quit smoking, occasionally having a mint candy had become a habit.
He thought about how easily he fell asleep while hugging me the previous night and believed he would fall asleep quickly again.
However, he tossed and turned for over three hours, unable to find sleep.
Lukas grew restless, sitting up in bed. Thinking of me in the next room, he hesitated for a few seconds before finally giving in and taking two sleeping pills. Only then did he cover himself with the blanket and try to sleep again.
The following day.
During breakfast, Lukas suddenly asked me, “What shower gel do you use?”
Chapter 50
I was startled. “I don’t pay much attention. I just use whatever I have around.”
“Now, what brand are you using?” he asked again.
I told him the name of the shower gel.
Lukas asked another question. “Do you use body lotion?”
I frowned, not understanding why he suddenly asked this.
I shook my head. “I don’t have that habit.”
“What shampoo do you use?” Lukas seemed restless, as if he hadn’t slept well
I gave him a puzzled look, wondering why he cared about such things. Suppressing my emotions, I calmly told him the name “Kerastase.”
Lukas nodded and took a few more bites of his breakfast. He seemed a bit absent–minded and then prodded, “What about perfume? Do you use it?”
Facing such a weird question from Lukas, I didn’t know what to say.
I finished my breakfast quickly and replied, “Sorry, I don’t use perfume. It’s not my habit.”
Lukas nodded again and didn’t ask any further.
After finishing my meal, I stood up and went to change my shoes.
“Where are you going?” Again, another question from Lukas.
“To work!” I replied succinctly.
Lukas furrowed his brows slightly, “Not coming with me?”
This time, I appeared aloof and indifferent. “Mr Strakovski, I can drive myself, so there’s no need for you to trouble yourself to send me. Also, considering our discreet marriage of convenience, I think it’s better to avoid suspicion.”
It was then that Lukas suddenly woke up and recalled the two comments he made to me the previous day. In a snap.

His tone turned cold. “Do as you wish!”
I left after changing my shoes, and Lukas’s eyes showed a trace of displeasure.
Once I was gone, Lukas instructed the housekeeper to buy the shower gel and shampoo that I mentioned.
He believed that the scent of me that helped him sleep must be from those products.
My car was a regular Volkswagen sedan, which I had left at my family’s residence when I was tricked by Ricardo and didn’t intend to drive back myself.
After Lukas’s comments yesterday, I decided that I wouldn’t ride in his car to work
anymore.
I politely informed the housekeeper at Hillcrest One Residence, and the car was promptly
driven back to me.
I had to admit that everyone at Lukas’s residence was very professional, from the housekeeper to the servants.
I rarely saw anyone in the villa except for the occasional appearance of the housekeeper.
However, the flowers and plants in the garden were well–taken care of, and every corner of the villa was spotless.
The meals, too, were prepared particularly well during meal times.
Driving my Volkswagen sedan, I went to work. When I arrived at the company, I found that no one was gossiping today, which surprised me.
I sat down and saw Raven walking over, whispering, “Sophia, I heard that Director Hopkins will come to work today!”
I was taken aback, suddenly realizing why the secretary’s office was acting so obediently today. I nodded. “I see.”
“If you can impress Director Hopkins, that Olivia won’t dare to bother you!” Raven’s voice
Chapter 50
was soft and silly.
I glanced at her and smiled, nodding, “All right, I’ll listen to you!”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone outside greeting, “Good morning, Director
Hopkins!”
I raised my head to see the rumored Director Hopkins, but I froze in shock when I saw the person. I stared at the man who was greeting the staff, my face full of astonishment.
