President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

There was no other way for the moment.

“Mr. Steele named an address; it’s come to this, and I shouldn’t be able to go without it.”

A small smile crossed Lucas’ eyes, he loved that about Victoria.

Smart enough.

He’d heard that Weston had suffered losses with her and had a delicate relationship with Nick, and it was women like that that were fun to conquer.

“Poppy, I’ll call a car to come pick you up.”

Lanting Mansion.

Victoria had just gotten out of the car when she saw Lucas standing outside holding a huge bouquet of roses, dressed in a white suit with a dashing, multi-colored look.

Just as she stood, Lucas came towards her holding the flowers.

“Poppy, these are for you.”

Victoria didn’t answer, but smiled a little, “Is Mr. Steele always like that with your partners?”

“You’re more than just a partner in my heart. Come on, I booked the biggest private room in there, which has a view of the entire Veridian City.”

After being rejected, Lucas didn’t feel embarrassed.

When he entered the lobby, he casually gave the bouquet of roses to the receptionist, causing her to blush.

Lanting Mansion was well known and favored by its partners in Veridian City, and a few of the top private rooms did have views overlooking the entire Veridian City.

Lucas’s afterglow looked at Victoria’s figure, which was cool and seductive, yet not at all contradictory, but just right.

The corners of his mouth curved up as the two waited for the elevator and happened to run into another group of people who had also come here.

At the head of the group was none other than Nick, and standing beside him, as it happened, was Ethan Reynolds as well as Chloe Reynolds, and Aidan, whom Victoria had met earlier at the casino, and who it seemed had a dinner date here tonight as well.

Nick still had that long, tall, cool demeanor.

His gaze fell on Victoria for just a moment before he withdrew it, the sensation quietly regal, cold and piercing.

Aidan was originally talking to Nick about something, and noticing his gaze, he followed suit, and when he did, he saw Victoria.

“Poppy?”

Before Nick could speak, Aidan opened his mouth instead.

The mole on the tip of his nose was exquisite and his eyes curved up, “What a coincidence, you came here for dinner?”

When he finished speaking, his eyes fell back on Lucas.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Lucas didn’t have a great reputation, and like Weston, was a notorious womanizer, so how could she get involved with someone like that if she liked Nick?

But Aidan quickly had a new explanation, and it looked like she knew Nick was here before she followed him.

Victoria met her client and couldn’t possibly pretend she hadn’t seen him, so she nodded politely, “Mr. Andrews, Mr. Blackwood.”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Chloe jumped out of the way.

“Ethan! That’s the bitch that put me in the police station! And talking bad about our family in front of all those people!”

Chloe had never been so humiliated and couldn’t even hold her head up in front of her classmates these days. She didn’t expect to run into her here today.

Victoria’s brow wrinkled at Chloe calling her a bitch and laughed softly.

“Miss Reynolds wrongly accused me of stealing your bracelet in public. You continued to play dumb when you were busted, and you did embarrass your family that day. Including now, and you continue to embarrass your family.”

Her tone was light, and she was polite to Lucas when she saw that the elevator had arrived.

“Mr. Steele, please.”

“Ladies first.”

Victoria stopped declining and took the lead.

Lucas raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curving up as he nodded to a few, “Mr. Andrews, after you?”

The elevator was wide enough for so many people.

But Chloe was sarcastic again by Victoria and was pissed off right now.

“I’m not going up there, I’m sick of riding in an elevator with a woman like that!”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Nick was seen stepping in, standing at the furthest distance from Victoria, and Aidan stepped in as well.

“Nick, brother!”

Chloe’s face went straight white with nothing but shame.

She craned her neck to try to see her brother.

Ethan’s looks were on the cold, hard side, with an unspeakably brooding, dangerous look in his eyes.

His feet lifted, leaving Chloe alone and embarrassed outside.

And Victoria, standing closest to the elevator buttons, saw Chloe and asked an extra question.

“Miss Reynolds, won’t you come in?”
