Lukas answered the phone in his deep voice: "Hello!"
Emily's voice on the other end of the phone was a little surprised: "Lukas, you finally answered my phone call. |
thought you wouldn't answer it!"
He heard Emily's words and remained silent. Reese was sitting next to him and he didn't want to explain
anything.
Emily continued to say: "Lukas, | know you are always the toughest and softest person. You misstoo, don't
you?"
Lukas remained silent as if he hadn't heard what she said.
Emily was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Lukas, are you listening?"
His face was dark, his voice was cold: "Yes."
She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Listen. Although I'm not the first person to wish you a happy birthday
today, | may be the last. Soon it will be twelve o'clock. Happy birthday!"

He hummed but didn't say thank you.
Emily didn't seem to notice. She got used to his personality.
Thinking of the big argument on the phone with Lukas and the lack of contact during this period, she took a deep
breath and her voice becsofter: "Lukas, it was my fault the last twe argued. | shouldn't have done that.
Because of Victoria, | argued with you on the phone!"
At this point, she stopped and continued: "You're right. Victoria made a mistake and she deserved it. You were
right to fire her. | shouldn't be angry with you just because | have a good relationship with her. It's because |
have a bad personality and am too hot-tempered. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please don't be angry withanymore,
okay?"
Lukas' eyes darkened. He said: "These things have nothing to do with me. You don't have to tell me!"
Because Reese was by his side, he even said: "You and | have nothing to do with each other anymore. You don't
have to apologize to me. It's not appropriate."
Emily's tone was a bit worried: "The two of us quarreled because of Victoria, how could it have nothing to do with
you?"
After speaking, she felt her tone was a bit harsh.
Lukas didn't answer at all.
Emily thought he was angry, so she started to apologize again: "Lukas, it's my fault. | couldn't control my temper
just now. Don't be angry. Today is your birthday, | have to make you happy!"
Finally, Lukas couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly: "Don't botheranymore and | will be happy!"
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and turned it off.
Reese glanced at him in surprise, asking: "Who called to make you so angry?"
He frowned, thinking about his last statement. It was easy for people to overthink.
He explained: "It was a customer who wisheda happy birthday and then beggedto work together. | got a
little angry and hung up!"

Reese thought of Lukas's last words and basically believed them.
However, she always felt something was wrong. Something was a bit strange.
But Lukas probably wouldn't lie to her, so she didn't continue asking.
After Lukas's birthday, the atmosphere between Reese and him becincreasingly better.
For a month, the two didn't even quarrel a word.
Immediately after that, the first episode of the series that Reese participated in, Beauty Girls, was broadcast.
In the evening, when he returned, she was sitting in front of the TV waiting to watch the premiere.
Lukas changed his shoes, went upstairs to change into hclothes, cdown, calmly sat on the sofa, and
watched TV with Reese.
The show hadn't even started yet. She was surfing on her phone when she suddenly saw a news story.
She suddenly raised her head to look at Lukas and asked: "Lukas, do you know? When Molly's parents returned,
they were covered with sacks and beaten!"
His nerves suddenly tensed up. He felt guilty and asked back, "How do you know?"
