The faint smile on Ava’s face instantly vanished.
Elias saw Ava’s expression turn cold, and he immediately snapped out of it.
I stood expressionless on the side, not saying a word.
I had figured it out. Lukas’s friend was a flirtatious person. I never expected that he would set his sights on Ava.
Elias decided to leave while things were still under control. He blinked at Ava, “I’ll come to see you again later.”
As Elías left, I looked at Ava and said, “Ava, I just talked to Senior on the phone. After we finish work this afternoon, we’ll come over to see you. Take good care of yourself and ignore Elias. I can see through him.”
Ava glanced at me, “I can see through him too. Don’t worry, I only have feelings for Cole Harris.”
I looked at her with mixed feelings, “It’s good that you know. And don’t call him Harris anymore. Cole Harris no longer exists in this world. There’s only Cole Hopkins. Do you understand?”
Ava nodded, “Aurelia, I understand.”
After I tidied up the blanket for Ava, I left.
As soon as I arrived at the parking lot, I saw Lukas standing not far away, popping a mint candy into his mouth.
He saw me and his eyes flickered, “Get in the car, I’ll drive you back to the company.”
I hesitated. I didn’t dare to assume that Lukas was waiting here specifically to drive me back to the company.
I refused, “It’s alright. I drove here today, and I’ll be coming back in the afternoon as well.”
Lukas’s expression showed a mix of anger and annoyance. He repeated himself, “Get in the car. I don’t want to repeat myself for the third time. If you need it, I can drive you back in the afternoon too.”
I quickly shook my head, “Really, there’s no need, Mr Strakovski.”
Lukas’s face darkened, “I have something to talk to you about.”
He finished speaking and opened the car door, placing his hand on the door.
Hearing his words, I seemed to understand something. I immediately spoke seriously, “Mr Strakovski, I know what you want to say. Don’t worry, today’s events were just a coincidence. I won’t consider it as fate bringing us together from a thousand miles away, nor will I entertain any inappropriate thoughts about us being destined for each
other.”
Lukas’s handsome face turned pale, his voice through gritted teeth, “It’s not that I wanted to talk with you about.”
I looked a bit confused, “Then what did you want to say?”

Lukas glared at me with a cold face but remained silent.
I stood still for a few seconds, feeling overwhelmed by Lukas’s gaze. I decided to walk towards the car.
After all, I had ridden in his car before, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Lukas finally snorted and closed the car door, taking the driver’s seat.
As the car left the hospital, Lukas took a long time before speaking, “When did you meet Anthony?”
I answered truthfully, “Today.”
Lukas sneered sarcastically, “You meet someone today, and suddenly, you’re on such good terms with them. Your relationships seem to progress by leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time.”
My internal alarm bells rang loudly, and I quickly looked at Lukas, “Rest assured, Mr Strakovski. No matter how fast my relationship progresses with anyone, when it comes to you, I will ensure that I maintain the most basic boundaries and not make you uncomfortable.”
Lukas’s face turned as dark as squid ink. “Where did you get that?”
“What do you mean, then?” I furrowed my brows, a little puzzled by Lukas’s words.
Lukas struggled to stay calm and not argue with this woman. “It’s best for you to keep your distance from him. Don’t let others catch the both of you and spread that you knew Anthony before and collaborated to frame Bella. Do you understand?”
I was momentarily stunned, and then it all clicked in my mind.
I hadn’t thought of this possibility before, but considering the vivid imagination of some journalists, it was indeed possible.
I quickly nodded, “Rest assured, Mr Strakovski, I will be careful and not give anyone a handle.”
Lukas was furious. The traffic light turned red, and he stepped on the brake, turning his head to glare at me with extreme displeasure, “Can you stop with the formal speech? It sounds irritating to my ears.”
I hesitated for a moment and pursed my lips, “Alright, I’ll change it.”
Lukas never expected that someone’s words would make him so angry.
Although every sentence I said sounded respectful and even submissive, he found it deeply unsettling.
However, upon further thought, he was the one who asked me to keep my distance and not entertain any inappropriate thoughts, and now, he couldn’t even curse at me.
Seeing him silent, I couldn’t help but ask, “Mr Strakovski, is this the only reason you called me?”
Lukas responded coldly with a vague “hmm.”

I nodded, “Then thank you for reminding me. Without your words, I wouldn’t have thought of it myself.”
Lukas furrowed his brows and looked at me sharply.
I quickly added, “Sorry, I’m used to saying it that way. I’ll make sure to stop talking to you formally from now on.”
Lukas snorted but didn’t say anything else.
I turned my head to look out the car window, trying to lower my presence as much as possible.
