Chapter 31. Stupid Lucius

LUCIUS' POV

As soon as I arrived in my office, I buried myself in paperwork. I needed to finish my work for today so that I could take Maia out for dinner later on. After what happened last night, Lucian had been begging me to see Maia.

'Stop acting like a lovesick mutt, Lucian. I have work to do. If you won't stop complaining, I won't get to finish this early and you won't be able to go see her.' I spat through the mind-link.

Thankfully, Neal did not pass by the office to annoy me by asking for details of what happened at the Lake House. I would have never finished more than half of this paperwork if he was around.

I checked the time on my phone and I saw that it was 6:30 PM.

'I better finish this last report so that I can go and take Maia out for dinner.' I said to myself.

When I heard the doorknob twist, I shook my head and smirked.

"You sure did take your time, huh?" I asked, my eyes trained on the report I was reading.
