She Called Me Her People

Lucien's POV

I had been in meetings all day. They were long and boring as I was barely listening to anything.

My mind kept going back to Seraphina.

She had left without saying a word this morning, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

After everything that happened… why was she still keeping her distance?

Asher had handled the people behind her kidnapping, but I still felt uneasy. I needed to know if she was safe.

Then I received her message. "Mr. Lucien, can you please come and pick me up from the mall?"

She even pinned her location. She was asking for me.

Me!?

I didn't waste a second. I decided to leave everything and drive straight to the mall.

"Where are you going, boss?" my assistant asked. He looked clearly confused. "This is a major meeting, and you can't just walk out!"

He was right. This wasn't like me at all.
