Chapter 288: No will protect me
In the entire meeting, Lucius kept staring at Layla, who was engrossed in checking the proposal, listening to the presentation, talking with the clients. ’Doesn’t she look so beautiful while working too? The subtle expression on her face, which would turn serious sometimes, make my heart flutter,’ he thought, bringing his hand to chest while smiling slowly.
As this last meeting concluded, Layla shook hands with the client while Aiden led their way to see them off to the car.
The other assistant gathered the files from the table and walked away while Layla looked at the watch on her hand. "Now, we can go," she said, shifting his gaze to Lucius, who was smiling on his own while his hand placement was still on his chest.
"Lucius, what are you thinking?" Layla asked him, curious to know. But he didn’t respond to her.
"Lucius!" Layla slammed her hand on the table, jolting him out of his thoughts.
"Huh?" Lucius shifted his gaze to her, finally coming out of his thoughts. "The meeting is over?" he mumbled.
"Yes. Where are you lost? I can’t believe you are the director in the company. I’ve noticed now you stay lost sometimes during the work," Layla stated like a stern boss.
"I was lost in your thoughts," Lucius replied and pulled her chair close to him. Her face inched close to his and she looked toward the door.
"Anyone can come inside," she whispered.
"And they will return seeing us like this?" Lucius said. His hand moved to the back of her nape and he crashed his lips above hers.
Layla pressed her hands on his chest but not to push him away but to heard the gentle, rapid beats of his heart. She kissed him back with equal fervor before they finally pulled away.
