On the way back, Lucas instructed Flynn, “Professor Crawford is advanced in years, so she can’t live on that barren land alone. Quickly set up a project department this afternoon for the preliminary construction works. We’ll need to set up at least a few sheds for food and accommodation.
“We can’t neglect security either. Assign a few bodyguards to protect Professor Crawford.”
“Yes, Lucas!” Flynn took note of everything and then ordered his subordinates to start working.
Lucas didn’t stay in the company for long. After seeing Flynn busy with the preparations, he left the Stardust Corporation and returned home.
Around eight in the evening, Cheyenne finally arrived home. She dragged her weary feet across the floor and flung herself onto the couch in the living room.
!!
Seeing how exhausted Cheyenne was, Lucas felt distressed and rubbed her shoulders for her. “You don’t have to work so hard. I can afford to provide for you for the rest of your life.”
Cheyenne’s sore shoulders were much better under Lucas’s hands, and she laughed. “I know you’re probably wealthy beyond my imagination! But I can’t just be a parasite at home. It’s very fulfilling to watch my business grow and flourish!”
Lucas knew what Cheyenne was thinking. Besides, if he got her to stay home all the time, she wouldn’t like it, and it would be a waste of her talent too.
But he said it because he felt sorry for her.
Lucas helped the exhausted Cheyenne massage her shoulders, back, and legs, and she immediately felt much more relaxed.
“Honey, speaking of which, you have a lot of connections in DC. Today, I discussed cooperating with the Smiths and also signed a cooperation agreement with the Williams. They are both part of the eight top families of DC. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to meet the helmsmen of these two wealthy families, let alone sign a contract with them.”
Cheyenne sat up from the sofa and continued, “Even the Huttons and the Howards have taken the initiative to invite me to cooperate with them, but I haven’t agreed for now because I’ll only consider cooperating with these two families if you agree. But even then, the Brilliance Corporation has made a lot of progress in DC this time.
“It probably won’t take more than two years for the Brilliance Corporation to become a famous enterprise in DC like the Stardust Corporation!”
At the mention of the company’s achievements and progress, Cheyenne was extremely excited, and her face was glowing.
Although Lucas’s heart ached for Cheyenne, and he wished she could get some good rest at home without having to do anything, at the same time, he didn’t want her to stay home and be an ordinary housewife precisely because of the radiance of her face now.
Since Cheyenne was so enthusiastic about work and her company, he would let her continue being happy!
“I don’t mind those two families anymore. If you think there’s a good opportunity for cooperation, you can give it a try. The Brilliance Corporation isn’t cozying up to them but the other way around,” Lucas said with a smile.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Cheyenne chided Lucas, completely disagreeing with his statement.
In Cheyenne’s opinion, the Howards and the Huttons were among the eight top families of DC, and their reputations were known to almost everyone. On the other hand, the Brilliance Corporation had only started developing in DC and still had a long way to go.
The two of them were snuggling together. It was a rare chance for them to sit and chat like this. Suddenly, Lucas’s phone rang.
The loud ringtone was quite a killjoy.
When Lucas saw the caller ID on his phone, he frowned.
Frankly, he didn’t want to answer this call.
“Honey, aren’t you going to pick up? Who’s calling?” Cheyenne asked doubtfully.
“It’s Alexander Steele,” Lucas replied and answered the call after some thought.
As soon as the call connected, Alexander’s enthusiastic voice came. “Lucas, I’m in front of your house right now. Come out quickly. I’ll take you somewhere good!”
What he said made Lucas frown even more.
They had met Alexander for the first time at the auction yesterday, and they had just had dinner together in the evening. Lucas didn’t tell him where they lived, but Alexander actually found out his address and was waiting outside his house.
He recalled that Flynn had told him last night that Alexander was investigating him, and it made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Lucas originally had a good impression of Alexander, but he lost all interest now.
“I have something to do today. I’ll pass,” Lucas said calmly.
Alexander didn’t expect Lucas to turn him down. After being stunned for a moment, he said, “Lucas, can’t you do me a favor? I’ve already driven to your doorstep, and it’s not nice for you to refuse to come out, right? Besides, I want to introduce some friends to you. I believe you’ll be interested!”
Lucas initially wanted to turn him down, but when he heard Alexander say ‘you’ll be interested’, his interest was really aroused.
Although he still didn’t know what Alexander had up his sleeve, he wasn’t afraid of anything.
“Alright, wait for me. I’ll be out soon,” Lucas said.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you outside.” Alexander hung up.
Cheyenne was sitting next to Lucas, so she had naturally heard their conversation. She asked, “Are you going out?”
Lucas kissed Cheyenne’s forehead and said, “Yeah, I’m going out to take a look. Just stay at home and get some rest. I’ll get Jordan to come over with Maddy to accompany you.”
Cheyenne was just about to decline, but at the thought that Lucas would be worried about her safety if she was home alone, she nodded and said, “Alright.”
Lucas called Jordan and was relieved to hear that he would come over soon.
After stepping out of the door, Lucas saw a black Lamborghini parked by the road. Alexander was leaning against it and looking at the lights in the distance.
Seeing Lucas come out, Alexander smiled and greeted him. “Lucas, surely you won’t blame me for coming uninvited, will you?”
Lucas glanced at him and said indifferently, “For one, I don’t like people investigating my affairs.”
Alexander was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained, “Uh… Lucas, don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t investigate you. Your villa was developed by the Steels, and the price is incredibly high, so… I already knew that you lived here before I met you.”
Lucas raised his brows but didn’t pursue the matter. He changed the subject and asked, “Where are you taking me?”
Alexander smiled mysteriously. “You’ll know when we get there. It will definitely be an unforgettable memory!”
