Chapter 23 Clark and Alexa were happily chatting when they suddenly felt a strong aura among them . Clark looked up and was surprised when he saw a man standing beside their table . Not just any man , but a big , prominent man in the jewelry industry . Strakovski ! What brings you here ? He asked in astonishment . He had only met Lukas twice before , and he never expected that Lukas would recognize him . He quickly stood up , feeling unsure of where to put his hands and feet , Mr. Strakovski , are you also here for a meal ? Reese was still a bit dazed . Lukas was here , after all . Lukas glanced at Clark and then shifted his gaze to Alexas face , the corners of his lips curling slightly , Im here for this young lady ! Alexa blushed and stood up . Strakovski , do we know each other ? I feel like we are kindred spirits upon meeting ! Its quite fateful ! Lukas teased. Alexa blushed even more , feeling nervous . I … I also felt a connection with you , Mr. Strakovski . Lukas pondered for a moment and told his assistant , who was behind him , Since we have such a connection , please order a cup of green tea for this young lady . My treat ! Lukass words carried a deeper meaning , and he glanced meaningfully at Reese before looking back at Alexa . Well meet again ! After saying that , he turned around and left . Reese suddenly understood the meaning behind the green tea . If it werent for the inappropriate setting , she would have burst out laughing and snorting like a pig . Unfortunately , the other two at the table seemed oblivious to the hidden intentions of this important figure . As soon as they sat down , Clark looked excitedly at Alexa . Alexa , do you really not know Mr. Strakovski ? I can tell that he treats you differently . If you can connect with him , we will have a bright future ! He chimed . Alexa blushed and shook her head . I really dont know him . Its just … he seems to have a special interest 4.3 % Chapter 23 in me . Maybe he finds tny appearance appealing ? She sweetly asked . Watching Alexas cute and shy appearance made Reese close and roll her eyes internally . She couldnt bear to look at her sickening presence any longer . Right after dinner , Reese received a message from Lukas . [ Lukas : Come and visit the hotel from yesterday ! ] After reading the message , Reese excused herself and left the restaurant . As soon as she got into the car , she took out her phone , which was connected to the mini pinhole camera on her office desk . She saw that at 6:30 in the morning , someone sneaked into the design department and stole the backup design draft she had locked in her desk drawer . Reese couldnt help but sneer . How she knew these two very well ! But if it werent for her being vigilant and observing , her plan wouldnt have gone so smoothly ! When Reese arrived at the hotel , she was immediately engulfed in a hug by a man . Though a little surprised , she already knew who it was from . Lukas leaned his forehead against her shoulder , his voice low , You smell good . Reese blushed again and said , Wait a moment , Mr . … er … Lukas , I need to get something . Lukas lifted his head and looked at her , What do you call me ? Reese blushed even more , feeling a bit guilty , Hubby ! Lukas chuckled , Hubby ? Reese closed her eyes , her face red , but she mustered up the courage to say , Hubby ! Lukass lips curved slightly , You said it well . Heres a gift for you . He handed Reese a USB drive and then went to take a shower . Staring at his back , Reeses eyes flickered . She opened her bag , took out her notebook , and plugged in the USB drive . Then she saw the scene from the restaurant where she had dinner with Alexa and Clark . The camera captured Alexa and Clark entangling their legs under the table . 4.3 Chapter 23 Reese burst into laughter . She finally understood why Lukas ordered a cup of green tea for Alexa !
