Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1801

“Don’t be so formal with me. We’re partners, after all.”

Daniel could already see how restrained Aurora was, so whenever he spoke, he subtly steered the conversation elsewhere.

He didn’t want Aurora fixating on one single issue or thanking him endlessly.

The truth was, he felt undeserving.

If Lucas ever uncovered the truth behind this matter, Daniel would be mortified.

Hearing him say that, Aurora finally realized he meant it.

There was no need to be polite.

He wasn’t brushing her off either, and everything he said sounded sincere, without any pretense.

With that in mind, Aurora stopped insisting.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take your advice seriously.” Aurora rose and thanked him once more.

“No matter what, when the studio first opened, I really did rely on your help. Once I’m free, dinner’s on me.”

“Miss Walton, you’re far too polite.”

Hearing that, Daniel felt a little embarrassed.

He never expected Aurora to remember that initial project for so long.

It made him feel unworthy of the credit.

And if she ever learned that Lucas had been behind everything all along, what then?

But after thinking it through, Daniel felt more at ease.

If Lucas wanted it kept quiet back then, he wouldn’t suddenly reveal it later.

No one would willingly sabotage themselves like that.
