The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 153 The Heel Disaster Chapter 153 The Heel Disaster +30 Free Coins Earlier, when she'd spotted this ingredient at Lucas's place, she'd thrown it together for dinner on a whim. Lucas went absolutely crazy for it. Not everyone liked steamed food-some folks just couldn't stand that fishy aftertaste. And Lucas? He was super picky. But every bite Sherry made? He ate it up like it was the best thing he'd ever tasted. But their little chat-plus Lucas's usual cold, deep voice softening just a tiny bit? It had everyone around them shook.

"Are they gonna dip for a candlelit dinner?" one coworker whispered. "No way-they're sneaking off for a private meal! Mr. Harrison is head-over-heels, man. King crab for lunch? I wanna be spoiled like that too!" another whined. Then-crack! Maura's high heel snapped clean in half. She stumbled forward, arms flailing. "Mr. Harrison, help me!" Maura stumbled and fell straight toward them-and that move? It felt weirdly familiar, like she'd done it before. Just like the last time she "almost" fell... and some guy jumped in to catch her.

Maura glanced down and saw it was some random dude holding her arm. She'd totally wasted her shot. Her face turned beet-red. "Let go of me! Haven't you ever seen a girl before? Why are you grabbing my hand? You think you can just touch me like that? I'm a good, pure girl-and now you've messed me up!" As she yelled, she flicked her eyes over to Lucas, like she was hinting that she was a pure girl. Then she batted her eyes at him, tears pooling in them. "Mr. Harrison, you gotta have my back! There's a pervert here! He touched me so fast-he must've been waiting for a chance! I'm so scared!

He even grabbed my hand! Can you get this creep away from me? "What if he comes after me when I'm alone? What am I gonna do?" With her little cute face looking that wronged? She totally played the part of a scared pretty girl who'd been messed with. Totally pitiful... Then Tony lost his cool. His voice was rough but sassy-way more wronged than Maura could ever look. "Who in their right mind would hit on a fake girl like you? Your boobs are flatter than mine! I'm way purer 1/3 09:40 Wed, Jan 28 Chapter 153 The Heel Disaster than you! "You can't get a guy?

Good for you-I got one who actually likes me!" Everyone burst out laughing. +30 Free Coins "C'mon, Maura-you didn't know Tony's gay? Hit on you? Please, his body's way hotter than yours!" Tony played along, flipping his imaginary long hair and rolling his eyes at Maura, with disgust all over his face. "Some people need to quit being so full of themselves." Maura's face went from shy pink to bright red... then straight to purple. Lucas frowned in annoyance. His eyes turned cold and then he grabbed Sherry's hand. "Enough. Quit crowding around here. Get back to work.

"Let's eat-this crab will get cold if we hang around." He didn't even glance at Maura. Not even a split-second look. Maura bit her lip so hard it almost bled, trying to hold back tears. "Mr. Harrison, please! I almost fell! My ankle's twisted. Can't you just..." "Max, take Ms. Raymer to the hospital," Lucas cut her off, his voice flat. Then he walked off without looking back. Not a single hint of worry in his eyes-only softness, and it was all for Sherry. Before, Maura could lie to herself and tell herself he was just cold to everybody, not just her. But now?

With Sherry right there, getting all his kindness? He didn't care about her one bit. Why? I'm just as pretty as her-prettier, even! I'm soft and cute. So why did Lucas have to be nice to that woman? She'd been watching Lucas like a hawk. He's only been off work for a little bit, recovering from his accident. And in that tiny window? Someone just slithered in and stole him. She's such a bitch. "Don't touch me!" Maura snapped at Max, pulling away like he was gross. "A lowly assistant like you ain't allowed to touch me!

Know your place-I'm way better than you!" Max stared at her, confused and ticked off. "What's your deal? You think you're hot stuff? Who do you think you are, princess?" Maura glared at him, her nose up in the air. "I can't even talk to someone as rude as you. Your words are 2/3 09:41 Wed, Jan 28 GM (100 +30 Free Coins Chapter 153 The Heel Disaster gross and shameless." She tried to walk, but her heel was broken-she limped, one foot high, one foot low, looking ridiculous. Then she tripped over her own feet and fell flat on her butt. Total embarrassment.

She could hear people laughing not far away, like they were making fun of her. This time, her ankle really hurt. "What are you standing there for? Help me up! Didn't Mr. Harrison tell you to take care of me? Is this how you do your job?!" Max got mad right back, crossing his arms. "Sorry, but I can't touch someone as 'noble' as you. What if my dirty hands ruin your 'fancy blood'? Then I'd be screwed, right?" admin
