Chapter 845: Chapter 848: Aidan Lucas’s Opinion of Her
This was an extremely spacious office, and Lily carried the coffee in her hand as she looked towards the farthest end.
At the place furthest from the door, there was a large office desk.
Behind the desk, a man with handsome, stern features was bent over, flipping through the documents in his hands.
Behind him was a large expanse of floor-to-ceiling glass.
The summer sunlight streamed in from outside the window, falling on the man’s beautiful features.
It added a layer of warm gold to the cold and harsh aura that enveloped him.
He really was a good-looking man, making it difficult for one to take their eyes off him.
Lily forced herself to look away from Aidan Lucas’s face, lowered her head, and slowly walked towards the desk.
She reached the side of the desk and gently set down the coffee cup.
The man, who had been engrossed in his work, did not even lift his head.
“Mr. Cooper, your coffee,”
Her voice was light, but it lacked the delicate affectation of other women.
Though it had a soft and sweet feel to it, it carried a sense of purity and clarity when heard.

The narrow black pupils suddenly paused.
…
Seeing that he still didn’t look up, Lily didn’t say anything more and left after placing the coffee.
What she didn’t know was that the man was deep in thought.
Last night, before he left, he heard that voice—”Goodnight, I hope you have sweet dreams.”
Light, soft and sugary, the voice carried genuine concern.
Why did she care about him like that?
The man lifted his gaze to find that the assistant who had brought the coffee, receiving no response, had already made her way to the door.
From his perspective, he could see her soft black hair cascading down her shoulders, forming beautiful curves as she walked.
Her long dark hair framed her petite figure, looking strikingly familiar.
A strange feeling suddenly arose from the depths of his heart.
This scene seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
It was as if he had once before found himself in a similar situation.
She was leaving.
And he could only watch her petite figure open the door and leave.

After delivering the coffee, Lily returned to her seat.
She now shared an office with Benjamin Lucas IX.
Upon seeing that Alice had returned without any signs of having cried or coffee stains on her clothes, Benjamin suddenly sprang up.
“You… you’re alright?” Benjamin adjusted his gold-framed glasses, his face a picture of disbelief.
“I’m fine,” Lily feigned ignorance, “Mr. Lucas, should I be having any issues? Or is there something else you’d like me to do?”
“I… never mind, it’s nothing! Just reorganize those files on the desk, I need to make a phone call,” Benjamin said and hurriedly left her alone as he dashed out.
Lily chuckled inwardly.
Pfft, this Benjamin, too funny.

Benjamin rushed out of the office and found any excuse to see Aidan Lucas.
Seeing Mr. Lucas looking normal, with no sign of displeasure, Benjamin felt a bit perplexed.
Glancing to the side, he noticed that the cup of coffee was still placed next to him, seemingly untouched.
Finally, a smile appeared on Benjamin’s face, thinking he had found the answer.
Oh, no wonder Mr. Lucas hadn’t lost his temper—it was because he hadn’t drunk it yet.
If that was the case…
“Mr. Lucas, I’m not sure if the coffee made by the new assistant is to your taste? I was worried that it wouldn’t be good and would anger you, so I came specially to check,” Benjamin said, looking apprehensive, but his heart was wild with excitement.
Drink it, drink it—please take a sip, Mr. Lucas.
It didn’t matter if he ended up splashing the entire cup of coffee on his face after drinking it. As long as Mr. Lucas got angry and drove that woman away, even if Benjamin had to have coffee splashed on him ten times over, he would savor every moment.
However, Mr. Lucas’s response utterly disappointed Benjamin.
“No need, it’s fragrant,”
In the man’s cold voice was a pleasure that he himself had not detected.
