A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 274

Yesterday, Lukas spent an evening with Elias over drinks. He firmly believed that a true gentleman should never engage in disputes with women. This time, he decided to take the proactive step of going back home, providing Reese an honorable exit from the situation.

Martins, upon witnessing Lukas's decision, finally exhaled a sigh of relief. "What type of flowers do you think we should buy, Mr. Strakovski? Roses, perhaps?"

Having a vague idea about the ongoing situation between Reese and his superior, Martins speculated that Lukas was gearing up to extend an apology to Miss Roberts.

As expected, Lukas affirmed Martins' hunch, albeit with a slight shake of his head regarding the flower choice. "Let's opt for lilies; their symbolism should suffice," Lukas suggested.

Lukas had always harbored a belief that roses were overly conspicuous when it came to conveying sentiments of affection.

Accepting the suggestion, Martins concurred, "Very well, I'll take care of it promptly."

While en route to the office's exit, Martins encountered his typically chilly and composed Mr Strakovski once more, who interjected, "Oh, one more thing!"

Pausing in his tracks, Martins pivoted back with a quizzical expression. "Mr. Strakovski, is there an additional task you require me to address?"

Lukas posed a somewhat awkward question, "Do I come across as oily in these clothes? Does the overall look... come across as appealing?"

Martins shuddered at this question. When did the Mr. Strakovski lose all his confidence?

Gathering his thoughts, Martins responded earnestly, "Absolutely not, Mr. Strakovski. Truth be told, you appear remarkably dashing in this ensemble!"

However, Lukas seemed to brush aside the compliment and cleared his throat, delving into an inquiry that evidently weighed on his mind. "Well... does it not appear overly off-putting, though?"

Martins was stunned, and at that moment, he thought he was hallucinating!

He looked at Lukas with a puzzled face: "Mr Strakovski, what are you talking about?" "

Lukas, his handsome countenance contorted in a subtle display of irritation. He waved his hand dismissively, "Never mind, just leave."

He is still very bothered by what Reese said, that he disgusts her!

But...where did he exactly disgust her?

Lukas furrowed his brows deeply, took out a cigarette, and just as he was about to light it, he suddenly remembered that he had to go home that night and stuffed the cigarette back into the pack.

By the third encounter, she had finally let go of Luther and felt a calm within her that was undeniable.

Now, at their fourth meeting, she looked at Luther full of gratitude. For if it weren't for Luther calling out to her just in the nick of time, who knows, she could have been hit by that car!

Reese looked calmly at Luther and said, "Luther, thank you for saving my life today!"

However, Luther furrowed his brow and replied, "Lia, you know that I didn't save you to garner your thanks. I was just scared, that's all."

Reese smiled and replied, "Regardless of your intentions, I have to thank you. You saved me, that is a fact!"

With a sigh of resignation, Luther changed the subject: "Lia, he isn't treating you well, is he?"

Reese furrowed her brow and asked, "Who?"

Luther's expression was filled with sadness and frustration as he replied, "Of course I mean your current boyfriend. The doctor says you've been having trouble sleeping and that you seem exhausted. Isn't it because of him? Even today, when you were standing on the side of the road staring off into space, wasn't that because of him? He nearly killed you, don't you realize that? You must leave him!
