Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

“No…impossible.” It took Milly Gray a while to react after Lily Gray left.

“I can’t believe it, mother… 1 can’t believe it… Why would Mr. Lucas marry Lily Gray? She’s like a wilted flower – damaged goods. Mr. Lucas could never be interested in her!”

Milly was furious and grabbing Rowena Gray’s arm. She couldn’t accept the truth.

Rowena hurriedly reassured her, “Milly, don’t worry. Don’t believe that girl’s words! She’s just afraid that you’ll snatch Mr. Lucas away, so she’s making up lies! If she had really married Mr. Lucas, the whole of A City would be buzzing with the news by now. It’s impossible that no one knows about it.”

“That’s right, Milly; don’t be sad. Your mother is right. Lily is just trying to scare us off by saying these things because she’s afraid that Mr. Lucas will fall for you!”

Lily Gray’s warning was completely ignored by the Gray family.

What’s more, after they returned to the Gray family mansion, they never thought about moving out. Instead, they continued to live there, acting as if they were still the owners.

Lily Gray had just left the lawyer’s office when she received a call from Aidan Lucas.

“Now?” She was a bit surprised by his words.

It was still working hours; why would he want her to come to his company?

Last time she had visited, Samuel Mckinley had specifically reminded her that Aidan Lucas didn’t like women showing up at his office uninvited.

Of course, childhood friends like Joan Wellington were an exception.

Over the phone, the man’s indifferent voice came, “There’s a banquet tonight. Come over, and accompany me.”

Lily Gray paused, almost blurting out that he could bring Joan Wellington or the female star from that night instead.

But recalling his support towards her recently, those sharp words got stuck in her throat.

“Okay, 1’11 come over now.” She hung up the phone and stared blankly out of the window.

Ever since Aidan Lucas suddenly appeared at the courthouse, their relationship had taken a slightly more delicate turn.

It didn’t seem like they had reconciled, especially given that he never explained his dinner with Joan Wellington or the romantic rumors with the female star.

Of course, if their relationship were strictly a contract, he wouldn’t need to explain anything.

But it didn’t feel like they hadn’t made up either.

Since returning from the courthouse, Aidan Lucas had been coming home after work every day to eat dinner with her, even taking walks together, and his attitude towards her seemed much warmer than before.

Lily Gray couldn’t figure out what role she played in Aidan Lucas’s life: a simple business partner or a “wife” cared for with a mix of personal feelings?

But she started to have a vague feeling about one thing: she seemed to have developed unwanted feelings for this man.

Lily Gray quickly arrived at the Royal Palace Group.

This time, she wasn’t stopped by anyone. Samuel Mckinley came to fetch her, leading her directly to the CEO’s office on the top floor.

When she saw Aidan Lucas, he was initially looking down, signing documents at the large, solid wood office desk.

The immaculately dressed man had handsome, sharp facial features. He lifted his head, his cold gaze softening slightly when he saw her.

“Come here.” He suddenly gestured with a finger.

Lily Gray’s eyes twitched, and before she could react, she was already walking towards him.

The man’s beauty was captivating, and even with their awkward relationship, she couldn’t help but obediently approach him.

Once in front of him, she saw his attire and her eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration.

Wow, a man with a good body looks great in anything!

He was wearing a classic three-piece tailored suit – a shirt, waistcoat, and tailored jacket, topped off with a tightly knotted tie that added an air of restraint.

Before Lily Gray could recover from her amazement, the man sitting in the office chair suddenly stood up and, right in front of her, removed his outer tailored jacket.

The dark waistcoat was also removed.

Lily Gray felt her heart skip a beat.

Aidan Lucas…. what was he trying to do?!
