Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 116

Luther paused, a bit confused. Why was Mr. Etheridge asking him that?

Was it possible Mr. Etheridge was having a change of heart, suddenly feeling guilty about all the late nights and lost weekends he’d demanded? Maybe he wanted to make it up to him—was this his way of offering some time off?

Luther quickly nodded. “Yes, I have a girlfriend. We’ve been together almost two years. Things are good.”

Lyman gave a thoughtful nod. “So, tell me—if you mess up and need to apologize, how should you do it?”

Now, this was a topic Luther knew well.

“You have to be sincere. Honestly, most women, when they’re upset, just want more attention. So, it helps to give a little gift, or maybe plan a special date.”

He glanced at Lyman, then spoke a bit more carefully.

He couldn’t help but wonder—was Mr. Etheridge having relationship trouble? Was it because of that whole online scandal? As his right-hand man, Luther felt it was practically his duty to help solve all of Mr. Etheridge’s problems.

Lyman’s expression was distant, his thoughts clearly elsewhere.

After a moment, Lyman spoke up. “Book me a private table somewhere. I want to take my wife out after work.”

It occurred to Lyman that since getting married, he hadn’t really done anything romantic. In this department, he was a total rookie. He definitely needed to step up his game.

“Of course, Mr. Etheridge. I’ll take care of it,” Luther replied respectfully.

“Oh, and pick up a few books for me. Something about relationships or keeping a marriage strong,” Lyman added.

He realized he really needed to brush up on this whole romance thing.

Luther hesitated for a second, but quickly agreed. “Absolutely.”

With that, Luther hurried off to make arrangements.

Later, as the workday ended, Lyman called Effie. He asked her to meet him across the street from her office after she finished for the day.

Effie didn’t find this unusual—Lyman would sometimes pick her up, as long as he wasn’t tied up with work events.
