When Lukas entered the room, he saw Cole chatting with Elias.
Ava looked surprised and asked, "Do you guys know each other?"
Elias grinned. "We don't just know each other. We've been old acquaintances for a long time."
A nash of surprise crossed Ava's cold face.
At this moment, Cole noticed Lukas's arrival and immediately stood up, "Mr. Strakovski,"
Lukas glanced at him casually, "In private, you don't have to be so formal."
Carrying the food, I entered the room, deliberately avoiding Lukas and keeping a certain distance from him, as if he were a harmful
abject.
Lukas noticed my actions and his eyes darkened slightly, but he remained silent.
I opened the food, saying "Ava, Cole, let's have dinner."
Elias opened his own food, smiling, "Lukas, let's eat too."
My mouth twitched. I felt that this scene was a bit odd.
For a moment, the aroma of the food filled the entire ward.
Elias looked at Cole and said with a smile, 'Director Hopkins, I didn't expect you to be Ava and Designer Lopez's senior in college."
Hearing Elias's words, Ava subconsciously glanced at Cole, feeling flustered, "Who are you calling Ava? Don't call me like that."
Elias blinked, "But aren't you Ava? Isn't that your name?"
He clearly saw the change in Ava's eyes just now. He unintentionally glanced at Cole, and his gaze slightly darkened.
I saw this clearly. Afraid that Cole would misunderstand my relationship with Elias, I couldn't help but frown.
Though Lukas appeared to be eating, he always unintentionally observed my reactions.
't even shut up during a meal. If you don't want to
Seeing me frown, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, his face darkened, "You can't even eat, go back to your own ward."
Elias quickly spoke up. "Okay, I'll shut up."
After finishing their meal, Cole took his leave, planning to come back to see Ava another day.

Lukas unwrapped a mint candy, stood in front of the corridor, and watched Cole and Skylar below, his expression heavy, lost in thought.
Inside the ward, as soon as Cole left, Ava felt like she had been emptied looking listless.

Elias was an astute person, experienced with many women, yet untouched by them. No matter the woman, he could see through her at a glance. Ava's disappointment was too evident.
His eyes flickered as he smiled without reaching his eyes, "Ava, what's your relationship with Director Hopkins?
Ava furrowed her brows upon hearing him address her. She paused for a moment before explaining. "Tole is my senior from college!
Elias raised an eyebrow, his expression playful. Is that so? It doesn't feel like it."
Ava was afraid of others seeing through her feelings for Cole, so she immediately spoke up, "He saved my life before."
Elias hadn't expected this extra piece of information.
He had been interested in Ava since the first time he saw her.
He couldn't help but speak. "In the ancient times, if a beautiful woman was saved by a handsome man, she would say, Sir, Fm grateful to you as you have saved my life. I can only repay you with my body." Ava frowned and looked at him without saying a word.
Elias stared at her face and continued, "But if the savior was ugly, the beautiful woman would say, 'Sir, I'm grateful to you as you
have saved my life. I can only repay you in my next life."
Ava's mouth twitched twice, "What are you trying to say?"
Elias's expression was unusually serious, "So, what kind of feelings do you have for Cole?"
Ava's face changed instantly.
Just then, the door of the ward opened.
Skylar walked in and frowned when she saw Elias, "Mr. Schmidt, why are you still here? Ava needs rest."
Elias casually replied, "Okay, I'll leave."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door. When he reached the entrance, he couldn't help but say to Ava, "Don't forget,
you haven't answered my question yet."
Once Elias left, he saw Lukas standing outside with a dark expression.
He smirked, "You and Designer Lopez are
zare in a close relationship on paper, but why
y didn't you even say a word when you met?"
Lukas hooked his lips. "As you said, it's just a relationship on paper."
you are not acting normal when she's around. Could it be that you're
Elias caught up with him, looking at Lukas teasingly. "I feel like you secretly in love with her, but you're keeping it to yourself like a shy person?" Lukas's voice was indifferent, "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in her."
If anything, he was interested in her designing talent
Other than that, if he were to be asked what he liked about her, he'd only y say that he liked how she could make him fall asleep easily
as if he had no insomnia at all.

Elias was not convinced, "Don't be so stubborn. You might end up eating your own words one day."
Lukas snorted lightly. Rest assured. That day will never come. You take care of yourself. Tim leaving
Lukas walked away without looking back
Elias blinked, feeling that Laikas was unusually confident.
