“I’m back to discuss the wedding.” Lucas walked over and signaled at her “Shall we go out for a chat?”

The two arrived at the wine cellar.

They sat on a leather sofa under the bright crystal lights that echoed with the expensive wine cabinets around them, the extravagant cellar was decorated and well-stocked.

Rachel dropped some ice cubes into her brandy and swirled the glass lightly. The ice cubes clinked against the glass wall, emitting a crisp, cracking sound. “Have you taken care of Hans Grey?” she asked.

She did not know if Hans would let it go, but Rachel understood Lucas too well. He would not let Hans off easily.
