An incoming call from Max:
"Lucas, are you ready?" my assistant Max asks.
"Um, yes, just leaving," I reply, fixing my coat.
"Okay, then I'll see you at headquarters," he says.
I quickly take my keys and head out for the meeting. Just as I'm about to leave, I see Ivy exiting as well. We both nod and get into our cars. Wait, how the hell are we somewhat matching?
We reach the location and hand our car keys to the chauffeurs.
"What are we going to say we were doing or who we are?" I ask her as we both walk next to each other to the elevator.
"Hm, easy. None of their damn business," she says, looking unbothered. Great, we're going to get killed by our PR teams today.
"Okay, alright, yup, that works too, but how about we start with something nice, like 'friends' and 'just casually met at the grocery store'?"
She stops walking listening to that and thinks about it and then smiles. "Something nice, hmm, how about a 'no and fuck off' for starters?" she says, staring me dead in the eye, making me roll mine. Without replying, I start walking to the hall since she clearly doesn't care. Just as I'm about to reach the elevator, I feel a hand on my wrist.
"Stop, Lyn."
I turn around. "Why? You clearly don't care enough to reply properly."
"Ugh, it's just that you've never been in this situation before. I have. The more information you give them, the more they try to eat you alive and ask more questions. In these situations, it's best to give zero fucks about 'being nice'. "
I nod. "Well, you didn't have to be so grumpy. You could've just said that," I say, entering the elevator after her.
she says with a shrug.
We all settle down. Grace and Max are sitting right behind us with Ivy and me in front, and two annoying guys with a girl making weird faces are in front of us. The girl is looking at me like she wants me on a dinner plate, and the guy is staring at Storm in the same way. It's fucking disgusting.
"Well, first we would like to intoduce ourselves I'm zach , he is jacob and she is celine . We would like to first ask how did you both meet and are you both dating as the rumors suggest, because we've seen you both together on multiple occasions now," they ask, looking us dead in the eye. For some unknown reason, I want to throw him out of the 25th-floor window.
"Oh, that's easy. We met on 'go to hell' road and were minding our own business, something you guys don't know how to do. By the way, why the fuck are you all here , and where is Ava and the rest of her team?" That guy takes a deep breath, about to say something when celine cuts him off.
"They are somewhere I don't fucking care and neither should you because we're right in front of you. Now, please cooperate before it's too late," she says with way too much confidence . From behind, I hear Grace clicking her tongue in disappointment with her guard fully on, as if there is going to be an explosion. I turn my head slightly to her side
