Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Lucinda swatted at his hands, shooting him a sharp, warning glare.

After all, there were security cameras in the elevator.

But Nathan didnt seem to care.

As soon as the elevator doors slid open, he swept her off her feet, carrying her out with a gleam in his eye.

He hadnt seen Lucinda in days, and his mind was on other thingsnone of which involved Lingering in an elevator.

As they stepped out, a cleaner appeared in their path, busying herself with her tasks.

Seeing the couple, she quickly turned her face toward the wall, keen on giving them their privacy.

Later that evening, Dulcie dialed Alyans number.

She had something weighing on her mind.

On the other end of the line, there was a rush of background noise Alyan was probably at a bar. But it quieted down almost immediately when he answered.

Alyans voice came through, low and raspy.

Whats up, Dulcie? I hope Im not interrupting.

I just… need to ask you something.noveldrama

Go ahead, Alyan replied, his tone shifting into a more serious register.

What do you think of Miley? I mean… do you like her? Maybe, have feelings for her? A brief silence followed before Alyan spoke again, more guarded this time.

Why are you asking? Answer the question first.

Dulcie pressed, her voice firmer now.

If Alyan did have feelings for Miley, Dulcie, as his friend, was more than ready to play matchmaker.

I… well, Dulcie, I think shes a great girl.

Dulcie felt a wave of relief wash over her.

She encouraged Alyan with a bright smile, saying, If you like her, you should go for it.

Sitting around wont get you anywhere.

And trust me, the way Miley was looking at you today, Im pretty sure shes into you too.

Dont worry-Ill help.

She couldnt help but smile wider.

She knew Alyan wasnt the kind of guy to fall head over heels easily.

But Alyans voice held a trace of anxiety as he replied, Dulcie, I know youre just trying to help, and I appreciate it.

But we shouldnt rush this. Miley had only just returned safely.

She needed time to rest and recover.

Besides, there was something much more pressing on his mind -HoLlis.

He had to eliminate him, no question about it.

Dulcies tone softened.

I get it.

I just wanted to understand where your heart was.

You havent been able to rest much these last few days, and I know a big battles coming.

Just take care of yourself.
