President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Isabella Montgomery didn’t gain the upper hand and was so angry that her chest was heaving violently.

People came and went here and there and since she already knew about Victoria’s sharp tongue, she knew that if she continued the confrontation, the one who would lose face would be herself.

She looked to the man beside her and changed the subject, “Haven’t you always wondered who took the Serene Haven Estates order? She did, but how did she take it? No one will ever know.”

Lucas Steele heard the conversation they had just been having loud and clear, and a glint of amusement crossed his eyes.

“So pretty to look at.” A low whistle from the man came.

He offered his hand in greeting, his smile light and lazy, with a wicked look on his handsome face, “Hello! My name is Lucas Steele. You would have heard of me.”

Victoria did hear about him, after all, designers do exchange industry information with each other, and although she communicates less, she often looked at other designers’ work for inspiration.

Lucas Steele was a name that was not new in the industry.

She symbolically extended her hand, nodding slightly, and was just about to draw it back when Lucas Steele took it close and placed his lips on it and kissed it before releasing it.

“Poppy is both beautiful and talented, so I’m sure many people are pursuing you.”

Victoria was caught off guard at his flirtation and her brows went cold.

Isabella knew immediately what Lucas Steele meant, it was a look full of teasing.

Lucas Steele had always been a womanizer, and when he got his hands on someone, he would find a reason to dump them within a week at most. Everyone knew that he was rich and noble. And when that luxury car was driven, a lot of women would jump on it.

A glint of nastiness crossed her eyes, and she could only hope that Lucas Steele would catch up with Victoria and dump her hard again.

“Lucas Steele! You’re both designers, you should have something in common, why don’t you talk more? I’ll just go in first.”

The corners of Lucas Steele’s mouth curved as he looked over at Victoria, “Does Miss Blackwell have company?”

Victoria ignored it, “No company. But I’m more used to being alone.”

The rejection was obvious, but Lucas Steele walked beside her as if he couldn’t understand, “It’s no fun being alone, I can show you around inside the art gallery.”

Victoria forced down her temper and pulled wet wipes out of her bag, unapologetically wiping her hands, especially where his lips had just touched them.

It was like she wanted to rub off a layer of skin.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Lucas Steele didn’t feel humiliated when he saw her doing that but instead moved closer to her ear, “By the way, from the first moment, something about you seemed familiar. You remember Richard Steele of the Three-Beam Group, don’t you? He’s my father, you met up with my father at school a couple years ago, I think, and I seem to remember.”

Lucas Steele’s lips curled into a teasing smile and he raised his hand about to reach over and touch her face.

“Since we are old acquaintances, you don’t have to pretend, how much is it, you make a price…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Victoria wasted no time in lifting her knee straight up and slamming it into the man’s most vulnerable spot.

Lucas Steele’s face went instantly white, and he bent over woefully.

“Mr. Steele has such a good memory. So you should remember my kick as well, after all, that’s what I did to your horny father back in the day.”

Her tone was light, and she took out a paper towel to dry the water stains on her pale fingertips.

“I have business to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself.”

Lucas Steele got anxious and angry, and waited for the sharp pain to ease before holding onto the side and straightening his back.

By the time he met Isabella Montgomery on campus, he was back to normal, and just holding a fire in his heart.

“That woman is quite interesting.”

Isabella Montgomery knew Lucas Steele had moved her mind.

“If you like her, why don’t you chase her down? She’s arrogant as hell, and I’ve seen her having breakfast with Nick at the hotel before, so she must be even more arrogant now.”

There was not a woman in Veridian City who wouldn’t want something with Nick.

Isabella Montgomery had been chasing after him for years, and didn’t even get a look from him.

The playfulness on Lucas Steele’s face intensified, “Something to do with Nick, I would be more interested.”

It seemed she would taste better than she looked.

Isabella Montgomery grunted, “Cut the big talk, how long will it take to catch up?”

“Three days for the other woman but she’s hotter, so a week or so.”

Lucas Steele thought about the kick he’d just gotten, and was determined to play hard to get when he’d caught up with her, before dumping her and making her cry to get him back!
