The Billionaire's Runaway Crush

Ritsa Chrysostomou Romance

“Is that why you got drunk and slept with me last night? Your husband cheated on you?” Placing his hands in his pockets he asked, giving her a deadly look and a wicked smile.
The woman looked at him, dumbfounded. She half opened her mouth but no sound came out. Her hand gripped the scarf she wore and she seemed to have difficulty breathing.
“What are you talking about? Who slept with you?” Adam asked confused, his eyes wandering from Lucas to a ghostly pale Lina.
Lucas didn’t bother to answer him, so he turned to his wife.
“Lina, baby, what is he talking about? How could you have slept with him last night? You stayed with Sally, right?” Adam started trembling and ran his fingers through his hair nervously.
Again, no reply from Lina. She just stood there like a statue, as if the matter didn’t concern her. She seemed completely lost.
Lucas walked over and took a seat, crossing his legs leisurely. Tapping his fingers on the conference table, he stared at Lina, with an icy glare.
“Well. you should have thought about that before cheating on her, Mr. Forester,” he told Adam, looking at him for the first time.
“You are the reason your wife got wasted and hit on me last night. So, yes, she had s.ex with me if that’s what you are asking,” he said casually as if nothing happened.
