Chapter 105

LUCAS’S POV With Chairman Ray's position and influence, It's only natural for him to give his own son heads up on the project. That's how people like him roll. Connection, favours, shortcut—that's the word the high-profile lives in. Have been in their circle long enough to learn one thing: nothing is ever handed out fairly. I leaned back in my chair, my jaw tightening as I thought about Damien again. “I know we need more investors on this project,” I muttered with frustration in my tone. “But I just can't stand Damien Sight and his taste in women.” The words tasted bitter in my mouth even as I said it. The fact that he even shows interest in Eva makes me want to throw up. How could someone like him be drawn to her of all people. Elora chuckled softly, her eyes flickering with that mix of calmness and amusement that always manage to pull me back from the edge. “What really matters now is making sure this project runs smoothly and secure enough benefits. Every other thing can come next.”
