Maria thought Lucas must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today. Since when was he so easygoing?
Usually, it was a miracle if he didn't work them to the ground, but today, he was offering her a break? This
thought crossed her mind, and she voiced it aloud, "Boss, are you feeling alright today?"
Lucas was speechless.
Among his subordinates, only Maria dared speak to him like that, with no regard for formalities. But he couldn't
do anything about it-Maria was both highly capable and incredibly loyal.
Lucas glanced at Aveline beside him, holding back his temper as he said, "Do you want the toff or not?"
"Of course | do!" Maria agreed without hesitation. Lucas was showing her sgrace today, and she wasn't
about to waste the opportunity.
"Just letknow once the date is set," Lucas replied calmly.
"Got it," Maria answered, then quickly ended the call.
Lucas turned to Aveline and asked, "Is that enough sincerity for you?"

Aveline shook her head. "Not quite."
Lucas looked at her and gently placed his hand on her round belly, asking, "Then what else do you wantto
do?"
Aveline replied, "Maria and the others have been by your side for so long. For something as big as a wedding,
you should make a gesture-send a gift." So that was what she meant.
Even without her prompting, Lucas had already planned to send a wedding gift.
He leaned closer, kissed the corner of her lips, and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. We'll send a gift in our nas
a couple. She'll remember your kindness." Aveline gave him a little push. "I don't want it to be like that."
"How about this, then?" Lucas's breath grew warmer as he kissed her face, his fingers lifting the hem of her
dress.
Aveline's pale cheeks flushed. "What are you doing? It's broad daylight."
Lucas' eyes darkened. "So, what you're saying is, it's fine as long as it's at night?"
Aveline glared at him, annoyed, and got up to walk away. She was pregnant, and he still couldn't behave!
Sidney watched Maria as she busily answered calls, a smile never leaving his lips.
Maria had taken several more calls, and by the tshe realized it, her phone was about to die.
She sighed.
She'd expected her friends to just like or comment on her post, maybe message her on WhatsApp, but she
hadn't imagined they'd all star she
calling her one by one.
She regretted posting that photo a little now.
"Sir, ma'am, these are our latest wedding dress designs. Is there a particular style you like?" the sales assistant
asked the moment Maria finally hung up her phone.
Maria opened the catalog and flipped through the beautiful photos for a while before turning to Sidney. "What do
you think?"
But when she looked over, she found Sidney had been watching her the whole time, his eyes bright with
undisguised joy and excitement.
Maria reached out and pinched his cheek. "Snap out of it!"

Sidney caught her hand and asked, "Which one do you like?"
Maria replied, "I can't decide, that's why I'm asking you."
She flipped through the catalog again and said, "They all feel pretty similar."
Hearing that, the sales assistant eagerly recommended the most
luxurious package they"
subtly sensing that money wouldn't be an issue for them.
Maria's interest was piqued as she looked at the options.
Sidney said, "I'll go with whatever you like."
Maria was speechless.
Why had he becso clingy all of a sudden? It was a bit overwhelming.
In the end, they settled on one design and scheduled the photoshoot. Two hours had already passed.
