I had to make the man believe that I had come to Lucas's palace with good intentions I knew very well that if I gave a negative response to his questions, then there would be a lot of eyes on me.
And suspicions would arise too. And that was something I didn't want.
It would only derail my plans.
So I brought up the corners of my mouth in a smile and leaned back against the chair, trying to feel very comfortable and at peace with myself. I didn't want him to think that the question bothered me or gave me hard thoughts.
He should know that I already had my answer waiting for him. But it was the questions that would come afterwards that I would have to worry about. Men like him always asked the right questions. And if one wasn't careful enough, one would fail.
He wasn't just in that seat for nothing.
"Yes."
His right brow jumped up in question, but I waited for him to put it into words. There was no way I was jumping into conclusions with just the movement of his skin.
