The hotel offered a variety of types of breakfasts. While Lucas and Tiara were enjoying their breakfast, the sunlight poured. in from outside, making the atmosphere even better.
“I’ll pass by Newborn Perfume when going to work. I’ll give you a ride.”
As he buttered his toast, Lucas said in a flat
voice.
Tiara took a sip of milk and shook her head hastily. “No need. I’m not going to Newborn. Perfume until the afternoon. Besides, didn’t we have agreed on not letting others know
our…”
She stopped speaking while Lucas looked up
at her.
After handing her the buttered toast, Lucas said, “Take it easy. I won’t eat my word. Only the head of Newborn Perfume knows from

Sean that you are hired by the headquarters, and that’s also the only thing he knows…”
After a moment’s pause, Lucas raised his head and cast a casual glance upon Tiara. The
latter couldn’t help feeling a little under
pressure.
He continued, “No one knows that you are my woman.”
After a brief pause, the last sentence sounded somewhat meaningful.
Tiara’s heartbeat quickened violently.
She had to admit that Lucas was extremely
charming.
Abstinent as he seemed, he knew how to fascinate her with words that were plain on the surface and yet charming in their naturalness.
“That’s great.”
Tiara’s eyes wandered among the breakfasts. In her hurry, she finished the food in her hand

and said, “I’m full and need to make a phone call.”
Before she left Wave Perfume, she had to get everything settled and at least keep Rachel out of trouble.
When she picked up her phone, she noticed more than two dozen missed calls from
Darren.
She was shocked for a while before giving a mocking smile.
To stay calm and undisturbed, she muted her cell phone yesterday after she got into the car. Although she had guessed that Darren would look for her, she didn’t expect him to be so
crazy.
Clearly, he had been anxious.
It was rare for him to call her during the time she was with him. Even when he called her, he mostly wanted to talk about work.
Just as Tiara was about to switch back to the home page, there was another call from

Darren.

She didn’t expect that he would call her so early.
After looking at the flickering name for a while, she turned to glance at Lucas, who sat at the table calmly eating breakfast. Elegant and handsome, like a fairy–tale prince, he looked noble and unattainable.
She answered the call after a moment’s
consideration.
After what had happened last night, her relationship with Darren was completely over. She no longer had to conceal from him her present relationship with Lucas.
She did nothing shameless and had nothing to fear.
“What’s wrong?”
“Tiara, where are you?”
Darren’s hoarse voice was heard. It appeared
that he had not rested well.

“Mr. Fred, is there anything?” Tiara asked deliberately, pretending not to know why Darren had called her.
“Tiara, don’t try to escape again. That’s not
use.”
Tiara could hardly control her smirk. “What do you mean by that? Why should I escape?”
She didn’t hurt anyone or do anything illegal. Why did she run away?
“Then, why didn’t you come back last night? I’ve been waiting for you the whole night.” After a pause, Darren continued, “I know there must have been some misunderstanding about what happened yesterday. As long as you come back and explain it to me, I won’t blame you. Do you hear me?”
After pondering for a moment, Tiara smiled, “OK. I’ll see you in the company later.”
It was only when she had finished her call and returned to the table that Lucas turned to look at her. He asked, “Are you leaving
now?”

“It’s in no hurry,” Tiara replied with a smile and moved her chair forward before sitting down.
As her spirits rose, so did her appetite. She went on eating calmly. “It’s not me who eagerly wants to meet him. Why am I in a hurry?”
She had waited for Darren numerous times, and finally, it was his turn to wait for her.
“He won’t let you off easily after what you did yesterday.”
Darren was too parsimonious to accept even the slightest loss, much less the enormous indignity that Tiara had inflicted upon him yesterday.
More importantly. Tiara’s resignation would definitely be a huge blow to his company.
“I won’t let him off either.”
Tiara looked at Lucas.
Lucas laughed.

Darren had been waiting almost the whole
day.
He didn’t even have lunch. When it was three o’clock in the afternoon, however, Tiara still
did not appear.
He tried to call her but got no answer. He became so irascible that he had a hard time keeping himself from smashing the phone.
“Darren, as I said, you shouldn’t have trusted Tiara.”
Leticia, half reclining on the spacious leather seat, was peeling an apple with a fruit knife. “She played a trick on us last night. No wonder she was weird yesterday. You said she would not betray you. You were fooled by her…”
“Stop!” Darren shouted out. He wanted to call Tiara again, but he knew that it was useless. Thus, he was vexed and could hardly control his temper.

At the shout, Leticia pursed her lips and looked down in a bad mood. “Why are you venting your anger on me? I didn’t betray your or the company, okay? It’s me who keeps staying with you and caring for you.”
Then, she walked over to Darren and handed him the peeled apple. “Here you are. No matter how angry you are, you have to eat something. Don’t hurt your health, okay? What should I do if you are ill?”
As she said, her big eyes turned watery. It looked as if she would soon burst into tears.
Darren softened instantly at her pitiful look. With a sigh, he took the apple and patted her shoulder. “I didn’t mean to vent anger on you. I was just not in a good mood. Sorry, I know you are worried about me. Don’t cry.”
“You’re just trying to smooth me. In your mind, Tiara is more important…” Leticia moved her body closer to Darren’s, igniting the desire in his heart.
“Mr. Fred, I…”

At that moment, the door was open, and Tiara poked her head in. She smiled at the scene in front of her. “Am I bothering you two? Then,
“Tiara!”
Darren immediately shook off Leticia’s hand and strode toward Tiara to stop her from leaving. “Come back!”
He had been waiting for her for such a long time. He couldn’t let her leave.
“Where have you been? Why did you not answer my calls? Do you know how anxious and worried I am? What exactly have you done?”
Darren grabbed Tiara’s arm and pulled her inside the office. Then, he closed the door.
Tiara looked at him with her eyes wide open. He had an anxious look on his face and kept caring for her as if he were indeed worried about her. It was then that it occurred to her his intimacy with Leticia before she came.

She caught a glimpse of Leticia’s sullen look. However, when she turned to face Leticia, the latter replaced that with a gentle smile and said, “Tiara, we are so worried about you. You haven’t returned home the whole night. Where have you been? Why were you with those from Newborn Perfume? Did they say anything to you? Don’t be deceived by them!”
