Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 151

"I'm so sorry, Douglas. I saw someone outside and just…"

Liliana looked flustered. Bursting in without knocking was indeed rude.

"It's alright." Douglas Sewell put down the phone and smiled at her. "I was just finishing up anyway."

But the world wasn't full of such perfect coincidences.

Who just hangs up on someone while they're still in the middle of talking?

Liliana still felt embarrassed. "Next time, let's not meet in your office. You can just message me."

"That was my oversight. I shouldn't have asked you to come to my office and made you uncomfortable."

Douglas pointed to the chair across from him. "But since you're here today, we can't waste the opportunity. I happened to bring lunch, and it's getting cold."

On his desk sat takeout bags from a three-Michelin-star restaurant.

He opened them, taking out several dishes he had chosen on the way, specifically to Liliana's taste.

"You arranged for lunch too?" Liliana hurried over. "I already ordered lunch!"

Since she was asking Douglas for a favor, it was only natural that she treat him to lunch.

Douglas immediately said, "There's still time to cancel it. Otherwise, we won't be able to finish everything, and it'll be a waste."

"Douglas, if you keep doing this, I'll be too embarrassed to ask for your help next time," Liliana said honestly as she canceled her order.

Too much food would be a waste, so canceling was the right thing to do, but she still needed to make her point.

But Douglas always managed to strike the perfect balance, never making her feel overly uncomfortable while ensuring she would graciously accept.

"How do you know I won't have times when I need your help? If you draw such a clear line, does that mean you don't plan on helping me in the future?"

Liliana couldn't help but smile. "Of course not…"

Douglas smiled gently. "Sit down. Let's not waste time. Tell me about your design drafts."

The dishes were all laid out, and the office filled with the fragrant aroma of food.

His office had a completely different style from Cedric Forrest's.
