LittleNovelThe more Anika Styles thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the more she wanted to establish
her dominance over Reese Roberts.
Pointing her finger at Reese, Anika declared, "Miss Roberts, today | want to be perfectly clear with you. Don't
think just because you're a renowned designer now that you can look down on your clients. You better think
twice, who knows if your client's friend might becyour future boss? Do you understand, Miss Roberts?"
Her words were intended to be a direct hit, spoken in an almost straightforward
manner.
It was as if she assumed that Rose had already becMr. Strakovski's wife, and in the next moment, she would
be able to whisper into Rose's ear, potentially leading to Reese's downfall!
"Miss Styles," Reese glanced at her calmly, devoid of any emotions in her tone, "do you have any further design
requirements aside from these? If not, I'll continue working on the design. Feel free to enjoy your tea while | step
out to work."
With that, Reese finished speaking and stood up, heading out directly.

As she reached the door, she heard Anika Styles angrily shout, "Reese Roberts!"
Reese turned her head to look at Miss Styles, her gaze cold and piercing, causing Anika's heart to skip a beat.
Without saying a word, Reese opened the door and left.
Anika was infuriated. She was so close to saying outright that Rose might becMr. Strakovski's wife, but Miss
Roberts still dared to show her no respect!
She was really infuriated!
Once Rose climbed onto Mr. Strakovski's big tree, she would make Miss Roberts pay!
At the stime, in the CEO's office on the top floor.
Rose looked at Lukas cautiously, "Mr. Strakovski, about the previous rumors, I've been wanting to apologize to
you in person. Unfortunately, | never found the opportunity. | wanted to apologize to you face-to-face in
Menkerios before, but you didn't answer my call or respond to my messages. I..."
Lukas's expression was cold, and he interrupted her directly, "No need!"
Rose bit her lip, looking pitiable.
Unfortunately, Lukas lowered his head to look at his documents, not sparing her a single glance.
Rose tightened her lips, "Mr. Strakovski, if you don't need my apology, then what about gratitude? After all, |
benefited from this recent rumor. Will it affect your work, Mr. Strakovski?"
Lukas furrowed his brows and looked up at her, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Rose steeled herself and slowly took off her dress's outer layer, "Mr. Strakovski, | want... to thank you!"
Lukas's pupils contracted slightly, his expression instantly turning icy to the extreme. The temperature in the
office seemed to drop, "Put it back on!"
Rose instantly felt a sense of fear, "Mr. Strakovski! I..."
Lukas's voice was cold and intimidating, "Miss Gibbs, have sself-respect."
Rose looked embarrassed, standing pitifully in place, not moving.

Lukas was losing patience, "You've apologized, gratitude is unnecessary. You can leave now."
Rose felt a bit upset. While she had intentions of using Mr. Strakovski to advance, she also genuinely liked the
man.
He was powerful, indifferent, domineering, and every aspect of him held a fatal attraction for her.
She refused to believe that there was a man who wouldn't be swayed by her beauty.
She stubbornly stood her ground, reaching to pull at the strap of her dress. Lukas didn't expect this young
woman to have such thick skin in this day and age. His expression was as icy as frost as he spoke directly, "Miss
Gibbs, | think you might have misunderstood. | didn't pay any attention to those rumors because | didn't care in
the first place. Also, I'm married. My wife has a better background than you, a prettier face, a better figure, and a
higher education than you."
"l already have a precious gem; | have no interest in inferior imitations. Please restrain yourself! Furthermore, |
have no intention of betraying my wife. | suggest you leave immediately, or else | won't hesitate to have
someone escort you out. At that point, nobody's face will look good."
Rose finally froze. She looked at Lukas in disbelief, "Mr. Strakovski... you're married?"
