Chapter 846: Chapter 849 Unexpectedly, Mr. Lucas Can Also Be Swayed by Lust
With just four simple words, he shattered Benjamin Lucas IX’s expectations.
The first two words, ‘won’t happen’, answered Benjamin Lucas IX’s question.
Telling him that the woman hadn’t irritated him.
The last two words, ‘tastes good’, were his assessment of the coffee that Alice had made.
Benjamin Lucas IX was on the verge of tears.
Oh, heavens, oh earth!
He had never imagined that one day Mr. Lucas would become this kind of man who is swayed by beauty and forgets his friends!
When he had first joined Mr. Lucas’s side, he was so nervous he had sought guidance from both Samuel Mckinley and Ellie, practicing over a hundred times before daring to present his coffee to Mr. Lucas, thinking it wasn’t bad.
After Mr. Lucas had finished drinking it, he didn’t comment much, but from then on, whenever Samuel Mckinley wasn’t around, the task of making coffee for Mr. Lucas fell on him.
He had thought that it was just Mr. Lucas being his usual cold self, and the lack of comment was acknowledgment in itself.
It wasn’t until later, when they got to know each other better and he brazenly asked once, that Mr. Lucas simply said, “Hmm, passable.”
He remembered those words clearly; that was Mr. Lucas’s exact evaluation at the time!
And there he went, gloating to his little brother, thinking that getting a ‘passable’ out of the notoriously picky Mr. Lucas was a great honor.

But, oh, how comparing people could be the death of one.
Today, he fully understood the real meaning of those words!
Benjamin Lucas IX felt a twitch in his temples but could only say insincerely, “As long as Mr. Lucas likes it, that’s good. I’ll step out now, call me when you’re free, Mr. Lucas.”
Just as Benjamin Lucas IX was about to leave, the man suddenly called out to him.
“Wait.”
“Does Mr. Lucas have another order?” Benjamin Lucas IX’s heart leaped with hope.
He sincerely hoped Mr. Lucas had a change of heart and found that woman unacceptable.
“Yeah, you don’t have to make the coffee in the future, let her make it.”
“…”
Benjamin Lucas IX suddenly felt as if he had been shot in the kneecap.
With a heart full of pain, Benjamin Lucas IX left the office, wanting to cry but having no tears.

“Debby, things really aren’t looking good here. Maybe you should see about getting the young master to come back? If that woman keeps bewitching him, I’m afraid Mr. Lucas won’t hold out!”
With a facade of refinement and calm, Benjamin Lucas IX hid in a corner of the hallway, sneakily making a phone call.
He had just relayed everything that happened from last night to this morning to Harrison Lucas over the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Harrison Lucas’s childish voice came through, “Big brother, the young master is really busy lately, he doesn’t have time for such trivial matters, don’t bother him.”
“How can this be a trivial matter? Little brother, you haven’t seen that woman; she really is… well, in any case, she’s a woman with ulterior motives, and I strongly suspect that she’s been sent by Theodore Lucas!”
“Theodore Lucas…” Harrison’s childish voice carried a tone of seriousness.
“In that case, think of another way to test her. Give her an even better opportunity; if she truly has a hidden agenda, she will reveal herself. Big brother, you have to remember, loyalty exists only when temptation is insufficient. Once the temptation is great enough, the most loyal person will betray.”
“Little brother, are you starting again with your ‘human nature is inherently evil’ theory? According to you, if the temptation is big enough, even you would betray the young master one day?”
Hearing this, Chester laughed softly, “Not possible…”
“For me, he is the greatest temptation in the world.”
“Cough… Little brother, you… remember, you’re a boy. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about the young master, be careful or Mr. Lucas will cripple you…”
On the other end of the phone, the exceptionally beautiful little boy’s eyes dimmed.
“Don’t worry, big brother, I know who I am. The concerns you have will never happen in my lifetime. Alright, I won’t keep talking, the professor is about to arrive, and I still need to accompany the young master to his lesson.”
