A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 228

Just at that moment, the employee elevator stopped on the first floor.

The doors opened, and three people waiting outside entered the elevator together.

As soon as she saw who had entered, the faint smile that had just appeared on Reese's face disappeared instantly.

When Ms. Gibbs saw Lukas, she was shocked.

Her voice was soft and sweet, full of delight as she greeted, "Mr. Strakovski! Good morning!"

Indeed, the three people who had entered were Miss Gibbs and Miss Styles, along with Reese's assistant, Miss Rivers.

Seeing Miss Gibbs, Reese's mood inexplicably... worsened.

Lukas put away his phone, furrowing his brows as he looked at Miss Gibbs, "What are you doing here?"

Reese was quite familiar with the tone in which Lukas spoke. She lowered her gaze, her thoughts uncertain.

Rose felt ecstatic and wasn't affected by Lukas's expression at all, "I'm here to work on some designs with Miss Roberts!"

Lukas's tone turned slightly chilly, "Hmm."

Seeing that they were nearing the design department floor, Miss Styles nudged Rose's arm.

Rose hurriedly spoke up again, "Mr. Strakovski, there's something I'd like to discuss with you privately."

Lukas unconsciously glanced at Reese, then gave Miss Gibs a scrutinizing look. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's discuss it in my office then."

Rose immediately sighed in relief, nodding happily with a satisfied "yes."

Compared to Rose's happiness, Anika was even more delighted. She had an expression of triumphant joy, as if she were the one called to Mr. Strakovski's office.

Reese, on the other hand, maintained her expressionless face, her gaze fixed on the smooth elevator wall, not saying a word.

Reese glanced at Miss Styles calmly and confidently, "Miss Styles, can we continue discussing the design requirements? Even if you're a client, there's a limit. I don't need you to teach me how my assistant should do her job."

Anika didn't expect that after throwing Miss Reese's design draft and receiving no immediate reaction, her mentioning Miss Reese's assistant would immediately trigger a defensive response.

She sneered coldly, looking down on Miss Roberts, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Reese's gaze remained unwavering, "Certainly not!"

When dealing with a mad dog, she certainly wouldn't want to bite back after being bitten. That would make her no different from the other party.

Seeing Miss Roberts's indifferent demeanor, Anika's anger grew.

Her close friend, Rose, had already caught onto Mr. Strakovski, a big shot. And who was Mr. Strakovski? He was Reese's boss!

Reese Roberts, a mere designer, dared to have this kind of attitude towards her!
