After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Yes," the assistant responded, turning to leave. Juliet's room was right across Gernard's.

After the assistant left, she finally closed the door.

Then, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

"I know where Aveline is!" Her eyes gleamed with determination as she stared ahead. "But you have to help me!"

The other person chuckled lightly before asking, "How do you want me to help?"

Juliet replied, "I can't even get close to Lucas right now. I need you to help me get close to him, and the best way is to make sure it's a done deal! Once we've slept together, he won't be able to escape!" Another soft laugh came from the other side, followed by, "Sure, no problem."

Juliet's gaze was full of certainty as she revealed Aveline's current whereabouts. "My brother has already sent someone there. You better hurry," she added, then hung up. Night fell.

Despite the bitter cold of midwinter, the city was still buzzing with activity.
