F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 62

Third POV

Lukas lazily lifted his eyes, his demeanor composed as ever. "Let them wait in the reception room. Go and call Aurelia."

Elena was a member of the Schmidt family. Lukas, wanting to maintain good relations with Elias, decided to handle the situation himself.

Martins nodded and left to fetch Aurelia while Lukas settled back at his desk.

He casually popped a mint candy into his mouth before finally making his way to the reception room.

As Lukas stepped inside, upon entering, Lukas immediately noticed Gerald flailing about before kneeling on the ground. The aftermath of last night's altercation with Lukas was evident from the welts scattered across his body, causing him to wince in pain each time he moved.

Lukas maintained his stoic expression as he walked over and seated himself on the sofa.

Elena's eyes lit up with admiration as she gazed at Lukas. She had heard rumors of Emily going abroad and saw an opportunity with Lukas, now seemingly single.

With a smile, she spoke, "Lukas, I heard that Gerald upset you last night. That's why I brought him here today to make amends."

"You speak of making amends, but where are the actual amends?" Lukas raised an eyebrow indifferently.

Elena's smile faltered for a moment. The apology was merely a pretext. She hadn't anticipated Lukas taking it seriously.

The jewelry industry in Mediopolis is flourishing. Gerald Hughes was her cousin. The Hughes family also ran a successful jewelry business.

Unfortunately, Gerald, the fool, had carelessly offended Lukas last night. As a result, several crucial business deals for the Hughes family fell through this morning.

Panicking, they rushed to seek Elena's help.

She decided to bring Gerald, who was in the hospital, to Strakovski Jewelry's headquarters to apologize to Lukas in person.

Luckily, Elena was no ordinary person. She was a bit embarrassed for a few seconds but quickly regained her composure. "If you want to see him apologize, I can make him do it right now."

Lukas glanced at Elena. "No need. But you're apologizing to the wrong person. The one he offended is not me!"

Taken aback for a moment, she soon recovered and smiled. "I know. I heard that he offended the new designer of your company, Aurelia. She's the one making a buzz online, right?"

Lukas couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance at her description of Aurelia. He let out a light snort but remained silent.

"Although Mr Strakovski said that, you should still apologize to him first. After all, Miss Lopez is an important employee of Mr Strakovski's company!" Elena gently tugged at Gerald's sleeve, urging him to apologize to Lukas first.

Upon hearing this question for the second time today, Lukas's expression subtly changed. This was the second time he heard this today.

She cast a cold glance at Elena and retorted, "Regardless of whether I like her or not, who are you to ask?"

Elena was taken aback, her expression stiffening and the smile on her face faltering.

Just then there was a knock on the door and a man and a woman walked in.

Aurelia POV

I had just entered the room when I felt Elena looking at me with a slightly hostile gaze.

That gaze was fleeting, though, and she gave me a forced smile.

Lukas's tone was indifferent, neither happy nor angry. "The main character has arrived. Whether you want to apologize or seek revenge, it's up to you."

Hearing this, Gerald immediately knelt and crawled towards me, bowing his head vigorously. "Miss Lopez, I was wrong. I'm not worthy to be called a human. I'm worse than a beast. Please spare me. I really didn't mean to do that last night. It was because of your mother's orders that I dared to act that way. Please forgive me, all right?"
