They both lived in the sbuilding, so it was inevitable they would run into each other.
Inside the elevator, Aveline pressed the floor button and moved to stand in the corner. Lucas, tall and imposing, filled the space with a sense of pressure. His striking, sharp features showed little emotion as he watched her through the mirrored walls. "Want to cover to my place for dinner?" he asked.
"No," Aveline replied.

"Are you sure?" Lucas persisted. "Why not try my cooking and givespointers? That way, if we part ways in the future, I won't starve myself." Aveline was speechless for a moment. She glanced up at him and said, "Even if you can't cook, you wouldn't starve." With his skyrocketingworth and status as the youngest Chairman in Cloudflare City, there was hardly anything he couldn't get. If he wanted something to eat, all he'd need to do was put out the word, and people would likely line up to bring it to him. Lucas turned to face her fully, his eyes fixed on her. "But I wouldn't eat well, stay warm, or feel at ease." Aveline's breath caught in her throat for a moment, and she looked away. Just then, the elevator doors opened. She glanced at the floor indicator and said, "This is your stop." His apartment was on the floor below hers.
Lucas stepped closer, narrowing the distance between them. "Aveline, are you sure you won't reconsider?" "No," she replied, her tone as cold as ice.
"Alright then," Lucas conceded with a sigh before stepping out of the elevator.
The doors closed slowly, shutting off their view of each other.
Aveline withdrew her gaze, feeling the walls around her heart begin to waver, sparking a faint sense of crisis within her. She didn't want to go through the sexperiences again; she just wanted to live her life in peace. Now that the order was complete, she planned to tell Maria about her resignation tomorrow.
She pressed her fingerprint against the scanner, and the door opened, but there was no sign of Selena inside. Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen-it was a call from Selena.
"Hello?" "Hey, beautiful Ave, I've moved out," Selena announced cheerfully. Aveline frowned, puzzled. "Why did you suddenly move out?" Selena chuckled. "I plan to stay around for a while, and I can't just keep freeloading, you know. I found another job and I'm getting back to my career." Aveline replied, "But you didn't have to move out." Selena cleared her throat softly, "Well, I started dating someone. Living with you would make you a third wheel, wouldn't it?" Aveline paused. "...Alright." Selena continued, "I've already found a job. Cout and have dinner with me; it's my treat." Aveline leaned lazily against the sofa. "I'm not really hungry." "Oh, con, let's celebrate!" Selena pleaded playfully.

Aveline changed into fresh clothes, grabbed her car keys, and headed out. By the tshe arrived at the restaurant, the sky had already darkened. The warm lights
illuminated the cozy ambiance of the place, casting a serene glow. "Over here, darling!" Selena waved at her.
Aveline walked over. Their table was tucked in a more private area and once the sliding door was closed, it ΕΠ felt nicely secluded. Selena handed her the menu. "Go ahead, order whatever you like."
