Chapter 144 My hand froze in mid air .
Martins looked surprised at me and said , Ms.
Lopez , are you looking for Mr.
Strakovski ? I put my hand down somewhat uncomfortably and nodded , Yes , Im coming to get some information from Mr.
Strakovski .
Martins nodded and left the office .
I entered the office , but Lukas didnt even raise his head and continued to look at the documents .
Seeing Lukas treating me as if I were invisible , I subconsciously thought of what had happened last night .
I self deprecatingly tugged at my lips , realizing that I had been overestimating my importance .
Naively , I thought that after spending so much time together , there would be some sort of emotional connection between us .
However , in the end , in Lukass eyes , I was nothing more than someone he helped casually when he was in a good mood , and I had taken that too seriously .
Since Lukas remained silent , I took the initiative and spoke calmly , Mr.
Strakovski , I came to get the relevant information for the Menkerios Heart of the Sea Jewelry Competition .
Lukas remained composed on the surface but felt chaotic inside .
He looked at me and didnt respond to my words .
Instead , he said , Congratulations on winning the Champion at the Morning Light Jewelry Competition .
My expression remained neutral , Thank you , but the credit mainly goes to you , Mr.
Strakovski .
I said .
Our conversation was polite and official , but extremely awkward .
Lukas felt helpless because he knew that even if he apologized now , I might not listen .
After all , he had already said hurtful words last night .
A tinge of helplessness flashed in his eyes as he handed over the documents beside him , These are the relevant information for the competition in Mediopolis .
Ive already had Martins print it out .
Take a look , theres still half a month left , so practice and prepare well .
I nodded politely but distantly , I will .
Taking the documents , I turned to leave .
Lukas stood up from his office chair , Skylar .
I turned around , looking at him with a cold expression , Is there anything else you want to say , Mr.
Strakovski ? Lukas cleared his throat and said , For the Menkerios Heart of the Sea Jewelry Competition , do you want me or Cole to go with you ? Im more familiar with the situation there , but Cole … Mid this in an attempt to give us a chance to reconcile .
He 14:03 Escape From My Step Brothers Dangerous Obsession 88.3 % Chapter 144 However , before Lukas could finish his sentence , I interrupted him without restraint , influenced by the words from last night , Mr.
Strakovski , I wont trouble you anymore .
Director Hopkins already said he will accompany me .
Lukas didnt expect that one day he would be eager to help but be refused .
But ultimately , it was the hurtful words that he threw at me from last night that caused me to act so distantly toward him .
Though his face looked unpleasant , he still said in a deep voice , Skylar , I drank too much alcohol yesterday .
Im sorry .
My face tensed , Mr.
Strakovski , theres no need to apologize .
Our true thoughts come out of the surface when we get drunk , and I understand your feelings .
So dont worry , Mr.
Strakovski , I wont dare to be so presumptuous in the future .
After saying that , I turned and left the office , thoughtfully closing the door for Lukas .
Lukass face turned ironclad , and a storm was brewing within him .
I was not someone who would wallow in self pity .
Although Lukass attitude did hurt me and he already apologized , I wont ask him for help because after what happened last night , I realized that I was not qualified to ask someone like Lukas Strakovski for help .
I knew I had to find my own way to deal with things .
During lunchtime , Avas usually cold little face showed a rare hint of frustration .
She said , I realized that even after coming to Strakovski Jewelry , I still cant meet Cole .
Every time I go to the design department , hes always in his office .
Tell me , Skylar , should I come to interview for the assistant position in the jewelry design department ? I was already racking her brain for solutions as Ava spoke .
Ah? I suddenly looked up and said involuntarily , pulling me out of her train of thought .

Ava immediately noticed something was off with her best friend .
Whats wrong with you ? Youve been absent minded all afternoon .
She asked .
I pursed my lips , about to speak , but Ava interrupted , Be honest because whenever you have that gloomy expression and purse your lips , it means youre about to make up a story .
I knew I was already helpless .
I knew Ava understood me too well .
Either I wouldnt say anything , or if I did , Ava would easily see through any lie .
After thinking about it for a moment , I decided to tell her the truth about my mothers demand to have Bella work in the same company as me , and her blackmailing me with my late fathers letter made just for me .
Ava furrowed her eyebrows , So , what do you plan to do , then ? I glanced at her and whispered , As for Lukass side , I know theres no chance hell let Bella into Strakovski Jewelry .
However , if this plan fails , my mom will burn the letter my dad left for me .
So , I want to steal the letter from her before the deadline shes set , so she wont be able to threaten me anymore .
