The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 18

Allison quickly cut him off, "Not necessary; my friend's driver is on the way; they'll take me home."

She clutched her phone nervously, her palms instantly drenched in sweat.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Lucian finally said, "Alright."

Allison heaved a sigh of relief, trying to chat with Lucian as casually as possible before hanging up.

Minutes later, Daisy's driver was nowhere in sight. But a pair of car headlights lit up in front of her.

A black Bentley slowly pulled up.

When Allison saw the license plate, she froze for a few seconds.

That was Lucian's car! Didn't he say he wasn't coming? Why did he suddenly appear?

The man in the car looked through the window. His gaze was accurately fixed on Allison before slowly winding down the window.

Allison had no idea why Lucian suddenly appeared here and she didn't dare look him in the eye. Just as she was about to find a place to hide, Daisy excitedly grabbed her arm.

"Allison!" Daisy called out.

Allison felt a headache coming on. She reluctantly looked at Lucian and braced herself to say, "Mr. Lindberg."

"Why haven't you gone home yet? It's late." Lucian asked, his tone neutral.

But Allison could hear the unspoken words.

In Lucian's eyes, she was now Allison, not "Penelope".

Having sorted out her thoughts, Allison's tone became much more relaxed. She laughed and said, "We just finished shopping and didn't expect it to rain."

The rainy night brought a touch of a chill

Lucian watched the girl's sudden smile; it felt like a ray of sunshine piercing through the dark clouds.

Daisy seized the opportunity to ask, "Are you busy now, Mr. Lindberg? There’s going to be traffic due to the rain and our driver might be late. Can you give us a lift?"

Allison's smile froze instantly.
