"That would be too much trouble," Aveline replied calmly, her nonchalant attitude clearly frustrating Aaron, who turned to Lucas, only to see him staring intently at Aveline. "Lucas, you..." Aaron began.

"Is it still the same account number?" Lucas interrupted, getting straight to the point.

Aaron was left speechless.

Really, buddy?

Was that how he wanted to spend his money?

Aaron couldn't help but feel exasperated.

Aveline nodded. "Yes, the same one."

Lucas continued, "I'll have Desmond transfer the money. You'll be in charge of my meals for the next month."

Aveline raised an eyebrow, sensing this agreement might have been made a bit too hastily. Maybe she should have asked for ten million instead. Oh well... Aaron glanced back and forth between the two of them, finally deciding to keep his thoughts to himself.

"Alright, if they're both okay with it, who am I to interfere?" he thought.

Lucas finished all the food Aveline had brought, with no sign of discomfort whatsoever.

Aaron stood with his arms crossed, watching in disbelief. He found it puzzling-Lucas couldn't stomach anyone else's cooking, yet Aveline's was perfectly fine. How interesting.

As Aveline packed up the lunchbox and turned to leave, Lucas kept his eyes on her until she disappeared from sight, reluctantly pulling his gaze away.
