Lucas set his phone down. He did not reply to her message. Hey in his bed and stared nkly at the ceiling.


    He could not protect his dog, nor could he protect his servant. He was nothing more than a puppet of the Woods family.


    He refused to live his life this way, but the Woods would serve as a good tform for him to better himself.


    At the moment, he simply needed to be patient and wait for his chance.


    Meanwhile, La was in her office at Tate Industries.


    "Are you worried about something? You''ve been looking troubled for the entire day. Is there apany crisis?" The assistant Tyler walked inside with a cup of coffee.


    La rubbed the bridge of her nose and epted the coffee from her assistant.


    "I confessed my love to someone and was rejected," La said, before taking a sip of coffee and frowning at the bitterness.


    "Huh? Who did you fall in love with? Who has the luck to catch your interest?!" Tyler was shocked. "Do you know what our employees say about you? They all say that you will never get married because your father and brother are just too brilliant, so ordinary men won''t impress you." "That''s not quite right... I don''t just value someone''s ability to make money, okay? Two people have to be happy to be together." "That''s true! But I''ve never seen you go on a date with anyone at all. Who did you confess to?" Tyler was curious.


    La was the perfect woman in anyone''s eyes, not only because she was a brilliant individual by her own merit but also because of her family background. It is what made it truly the hard for someone to imaginruly troubles that could gue someone that perfect.  La was so close to perfection that she could be described as a goddess, and a man would have to be blind to reject her.


    La finished her coffee and picked up her phone to check the time. "Tyler, stop rubbing dirt on my wound." "I''m sorry, I don''t mean to. I just can''t imagine what kind of man would impress you," Tyler said apologetically.


    La was young and had just started working. Despite being the head of thepany, she had always been kind and approachable with att her employees, which was why her assistant dared to ask questions about her personal life.


    "I like guys like Eric Santos," La said before grabbing her purse to leave.

    Tyler remained frozen in ce and thought to himself, "Eric Santos? Does she likes Eric Santos? Oh my, what standards! But Eric has been popr for years, and it feel like he is from a different time."  La took the elevator to the underground parking lot and drove her car out of the building.


    She had reflected on her actions and thoughts after Eric had rejected her, and she could not quite regain herposure as she had never been so miserable in her life before.
