Chapter 307
Anna Ross gently brushed the dust off her clothes.
Lucas Evans reached out to steady her.
She avoided his hand.
She leaned against the wall to regain her balance.
Then she helped Mia Lawrence up.
Lucas's hand hung in the air.
He slowly withdrew it.
The driver who had followed them frowned deeply.
The driver remembered what had just happened.
Lucas had rushed over without regard for his own safety.
Yet she responded with cold indifference.
The driver's eyes darkened.
Anna didn't notice.
She thanked Lucas.
Then she turned to leave.
Lucas quickly caught up.
"Anna, let me drive you both home."
His voice held a pleading tone.
Anna paused for a moment.
"That won't be necessary."
Her voice was soft.
But distant.
Mia suddenly gave her a push.
"My head is spinning."
She blinked at Lucas.
"We could really use a ride."
Lucas immediately told the driver to bring the car around.
The driver reluctantly complied.
Anna shot her friend an exasperated look.
Mia stuck out her tongue.
She pulled Anna firmly toward the car.
Silence filled the vehicle.
Only Mia's breathing could be heard.
Lucas watched Anna through the rearview mirror.
She happened to look up at that moment.
They both averted their eyes simultaneously.
Lucas broke the silence.
"That time at the bar..."
He hesitated slightly.
"I had too much to drink. I didn't say anything inappropriate, did I?"
Anna's expression remained calm.
"You fell asleep as soon as you saw me."
She brushed it off lightly.
Lucas smiled.
His gaze returned to the road ahead.
The driver tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
His expression grew increasingly displeased.
The car stopped outside their apartment building.
Lucas watched them leave.
His eyes were gentle.
The driver finally couldn't hold back.
"Young master, is she really worth it?"
His voice held confusion.
Lucas simply smiled.
He signaled for the driver to continue.
Some people.
Once they capture your heart.
You can never let them go.

Anna had just arrived at the office.
When she received an urgent notification.
An important client was visiting today.
Adrian Sinclair had instructed her to organize the documents.
Everything had to be completed before two o'clock.
She looked at the piles of numbers.
She couldn't help but massage her temples.
Last night, Mia had held her while crying about her troubles.
They had talked until dawn before finally sleeping.
Now her whole body felt heavy and groggy.
Noah Watson approached with some documents.
"We're both required to attend the meeting."
He quickly briefed her on the key points.
Anna took a deep breath.
She buried herself in her work.
