Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Inside the restaurant, Aurora and Lucas‘ dinner remained undisturbed by the commotion outside.

“What are your thoughts on Vanguard Group’s hot spring resort project?” Lucas asked casually, elegantly slicing his steak.

Aurora set down her fork, her expression turning serious.

“Vanguard Group plans to develop a high–end hot spring resort that combines wellness, leisure, and entertainment.

“I’ve drafted an initial concept that integrates modern architectural design with natural landscapes to create a space that’s both contemporary and Zen–inspired.”

Lucas raised an intrigued eyebrow. “Oh? Let’s hear it.”

Aurora retrieved her tablet from her bag, pulled up her design proposal, and handed it to him while explaining her vision in

detail.

Lucas skimmed through the concept as he listened to her analysis, his gaze filled with admiration.

He had to admit that Aurora’s design philosophy was unique, and more importantly, it held strong commercial potential.

“Your concept is creative and has great market appeal,” he remarked, returning the tablet.

“However, I suggest refining some details. For example, the hot spring areas could have more diverse themes, incorporating

interactive experiences to make them more engaging.

“The spa section could partner with internationally renowned brands to enhance its prestige.

“The dining options should include signature dishes that highlight local flavors.

“As for the accommodations, adding smart technology features could significantly improve guest experience.”

Aurora listened intently, nodding as she absorbed his suggestions.

She absentmindedly traced the edge of her tablet, momentarily lost in thought.

“You…” She looked up at him, her clear eyes filled with curiosity. “Why are you suddenly giving me advice?”

Her gaze held a flicker of doubt. “And… how do you know so much about Vanguard’s project?”

Lucas swirled his wine glass slowly, his long fingers effortlessly elegant.

The soft glow of the restaurant lights reflected in his deep, enigmatic eyes, making them look even more unfathomable.

“Just giving you a few pointers,” he said nonchalantly.

He took a slow sip of wine before adding, “Vanguard’s project won’t be easy to secure. If you’re planning to use it as your way back into Walton Corporation…!

He paused, his intense gaze locking onto hers.

“You’re going to have to work a little harder.”

Aurora remained silent for a moment, absorbing Lucas‘ words.

He was right–securing the Vanguard Group project would be a formidable challenge.

Many companies were eyeing it hungrily, and if she wanted to claim it, the road ahead wouldn’t be easy.

Taking a deep breath, she slipped her tablet back into her bag, her tone firm with resolve.

“I’ll do my best.”

Lucas watched her, amusement flickering in his gaze as he caught the stubborn determination on her face.

The corner of his lips curved subtly.

Setting down his wine glass, his voice dropped to a low, magnetic timbre. “You know, you look really good when you’re serious about work.”

Aurora’s cheeks flushed slightly. She instinctively turned her head away, avoiding his eyes.

Lucas chuckled softly and stood up, his tall frame looming over her, exuding an invisible sense of dominance.

“I’m just being honest,” he murmured, leaning down ever so slightly, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

“But if you ever need help… just ask me.”
