His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 765:

After a long while, Lucas finally picked up the call.

“Hello, Lucas. I’m downstairs at your company. Could you please let me come up?” Verena said as soon as the call was connected.

“I’m extremely busy,” Lucas said coldly, his voice devoid of warmth.

Upon hearing Lucas’ words, Verena bit her lip, a wave of anxiety washing over her. “I promise I won’t take up too much of your time. And, I have something significant to share with you,” she said, hoping to break through his icy demeanor.noveldrama

“Perhaps another day. I will hang up now.” With that curt dismissal,

Lucas abruptly disconnected the call, leaving no room for a response.

Verena stared blankly at the phone screen, her expression turning pale.

She had never envisioned that one day, Lucas would evade her to such an extent.

He had agreed to be friends with her.

But what was the reality now? Who would shun their friends in such a cold manner?

It appeared her strategy of being Lucas’ friend to get closer to him was failing miserably.

She needed to devise another plan now—one that would capture his attention and reignite the connection they had once shared.

She couldn’t permit Lucas to drift further away from her. Absolutely not!

During the lunch break, Belinda excitedly dispatched a group call.

Shortly after, Bethany and Johnson both answered the call.

“What’s going on?” Johnson asked.

“I have two consecutive days off coming up. Are you both available? Should we go out and have some fun? Perhaps we could select a resort or something and just unwind,” Belinda said.

“Count me in!” Bethany concurred eagerly.

“I can join you, too,” Johnson said.

“Do you have any destinations in mind?” Belinda inquired.

Bethany quickly replied, “How about we visit a hot spring? I’ve been longing to go to the resort with hot spring in Crystalhill for ages but never found the opportunity.”

Upon hearing this suggestion, Belinda fell silent for a moment, contemplating the idea.

“Belinda has a phobia of water,” Johnson said.

Bethany suddenly realized her oversight. “Oh right! How could I forget that? Never mind; let’s consider another place.”

“Let’s go there,” Belinda suddenly said.

“Belinda, you…” Bethany said with uncertainty.

“The water in the hot spring isn’t too deep. I will be perfectly fine,” Belinda assured her friends with unwavering confidence.

“Alright then, since you insist, shall we make arrangements for that location? How about we depart at nine tomorrow morning?” Bethany said.

“Okay!” Belinda replied.
