Hugo and Bella were happily chatting when they suddenly felt a strong aura among them.
Hugo looked up and was surprised when he saw a man standing beside their table. Not just any man, but a big, prominent man in the jewelry industry. “Mr. Strakovskit What brings
here?” He asked in astonishment.
you
He had only met Lukas twice before, and he never expected that Lukas would recognize
him.
He quickly stood up, feeling unsure of where to put his hands and feet, “Mr. Strakovski, are you also here for a meal?”
I was still a bit dazed. Lukas was here, after all.
Lukas glanced at Hugo and then shifted his gaze to Bella’s face, the corners of his lips curling slightly, “I’m here for this young lady!
Bella blushed and stood up. “Oh, Mr. Strakovski, do we know each other?
“I feel like we are kindred spirits upon meeting! It’s quite fateful!” Lukas teased.
Bella blushed even more, feeling nervous. “I… I also felt a connection with
Strakovski.”
you, Mr.
Lukas pondered for a moment and told his assistant, who was behind him, “Since we have such a connection, please order a cup of green tea for this young lady. My treat!”
Lukas’s words carried a deeper meaning, and he glanced meaningfully at me before looking back at Bella. “We’ll meet again!”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
I suddenly understood the meaning behind the green tea.
Chapter 41
If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, I would have burst out laughing and snorting like
a pig.
Unfortunately, the other two at the table seemed oblivious to the hidden intentions of this important figure.
As soon as they sat down, Hugo looked excitedly at Bella. “Bella, do you really not know Mr. Strakovski? I can tell that he treats you differently. If you can connect with him, we will
have a bright future!” He chimed.
Bella blushed and shook her head. “I really don’t know him. It’s just… he seems to have a special interest in me. Maybe he finds my appearance appealing?” She sweetly asked.
Watching Bella’s cute and shy appearance made me close and roll my eyes internally. I couldn’t bear to look at her sickening presence any longer.
Right after dinner, I received a message from Lukas.
[Lukas: Come and visit the hotel from yesterday!]
After reading the message, I excused myself and left the restaurant.
As soon as I got in the car, I took out my mobile phone and connected it to the mini pinhole camera on my desk.
I saw that at 6:30 in the morning, someone sneaked into the design department and stole the backup design draft I had locked in my desk drawer.
I couldn’t help but sneer. How I knew these two very well!
But if it weren’t for my being vigilant and observing, my plan wouldn’t have gone so
smoothly!
When I arrived at the hotel, I was immediately engulfed in a hug by a man. Though a little. surprised, I already knew who it was from.
Lukas leaned his forehead against my shoulder, his voice low, “You smell good.”
I blushed again and said, “Wait a moment, Mrer. Lukas, I need to get something.”
Lukas lifted his head and looked at me, “What do you call me?”
I blushed even more, feeling a bit guilty. “Hubby!”
Lukas chuckled, “Hubby?”
I closed my eyes, my face red, but I mustered up the courage to say, “Hubby!”
Lukas’s lips curved slightly, “You said it well. Here’s a gift for you.”
He handed me a USB drive and then went to take a shower.
Staring at his back, my eyes flickered. I opened my bag, took out my notebook, and plugged
in the USB drive.
Then I saw the scene from the restaurant where I had dinner with Bella and Hugo. The camera captured Bella and Hugo entangling their legs under the table.
I burst into laughter. I finally understood why Lukas ordered a cup of green tea for Bella!
After having a good laugh, I quickly opened the registration page for the Starlight Jewelry Competition and uploaded the design draft I had scanned in advance.
Both the Starlight Jewelry Competition and the Century Jewelry Competition hosted by Strakovski Jewelry would begin the evaluation process tomorrow.
The former might not be as famous as the latter, but both competitions had a completely transparent evaluation process.
And that was precisely what I was countin
And that was precisely what I was counting on!
