Chapter 163: Sanctuary
Lucas led me to his company’s parking garage and walked me over to his car. It was a white, luxury car that felt very ’Lucas’ with its brown leather interior. He opened the door for me with a smile, and as soon as I sat down, I felt a pleasant coffee scent inside the car.
He wasn’t kidding about enjoying his coffee.
The interior of the car was clean, but still had signs of Lucas’s hardworking personality. There were a few folders, filled with paperwork, in the back seat, along with a few small boxes that I didn’t recognize.
"I live on the outskirts of the city, so it’ll be about a twenty-five-minute drive," he said as he entered the driver’s seat.
I smiled and nodded, "I look forward to seeing your house. I imagine that it’s very bright and airy."
Lucas turned his head and looked at me with a stunned look. "How did you know?" he asked with a genuinely curious tone.
I finally broke out into laughter. "Oh, I don’t know, just a wild guess," I teased.
Lucas blinked at me like I’d just spoiled a surprise.
"No, seriously," he said as he merged into traffic. "How’d you guess? The living room’s got, like, floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s kind of my favorite part."
