Misunderstanding??

A Week Later – White Wings Villa

Lucian sat at his writing desk, the quiet of White Wings Villa surrounding him. The soft scratch of his pen against paper was the only sound, yet his mind was restless.

A few days ago, after returning from the Aurora Youth Center birthday reunion, Lucian had spent a lively day out with Nyra, accompanied by Jimu and his girlfriend, Raeysa Montclair.

[Flashback – Solstice Technologies]

The glass towers of Solstice Technologies gleamed under the morning sun. Inside the sleek office, Dorian Montclair, composed and decisive, reviewed reports. His presence commanded respect.

A knock at the door announced Raeysa Montclair, nineteen, confident and curious.

Raeysa: “Good morning, Father. Did you need me for something today?”

Dorian: “Morning, Raeysa. Just checking in on your schedule. I know you’ve been busy with your own projects.”

Raeysa: “I’ve got everything under control. But I wanted to ask your advice on the new campaign. Your input always helps.”

Dorian: “Very well. Let’s go over it together. You’ve got potential, Raeysa, but remember—strategy is just as important as creativity.”

The two leaned over the documents, blending professionalism with warmth—the father mentoring the daughter, preparing her for challenges ahead.

[Outing to CTK]

Back in the present of that day, Nyra leaned on Lucian’s arm as they walked.

Nyra: “Lucy, where are we going?”

Lucian (smiling): “On a date, of course”

Nyra: “What’s gotten into you, suddenly for a date?”

Lucian: “Actually, Jimu said CTK is launching a new product and asked me to bring you too. I thought you might like it, so we’re going to take a look.”

Nyra squeezed his arm happily.

Nyra: “Really? So happy.”

Jimu and Raeysa followed behind.

Raeysa: “Jimu, since when does she know Brother Lucy?”

Jimu: “It’s been around a month, maybe. Why?”

Raeysa (thoughtful): “Nothing… I just feel like I’ve seen her somewhere.”

Jimu: “She’s a bit older, that’s why maybe you’re mistaken.”

Raeysa (thinking): “Hmm… maybe. But I’m sure I’ve seen her somewhere.”

Jimu:" c'mon, you..."

[CTK Lobby]

Inside the sleek CTK lobby, Jimu nudged Lucian.

Jimu: “Lucian, look! That’s the CEO of Aurevelle Beauty Co., Raphel Wind.”

Lucian: “So young… around our age.”

Jimu: “Yes, in partnership with CTK.”

Lucian: “Then the product is originally from Aurevelle Beauty.”

Jimu: “Seems so. They’re new in the market, came to my company for partnership, but ended up with CTK.Tsk*, That arrogant fool misjudged them.”

Raphel stepped forward to speak.

Raphel: “Good evening, everyone. Today, I’m proud to unveil something close to our hearts—the LunéAura Glow Kit. Designed for every girl who dares to shine in her own way…”

Nyra’s eyes sparkled.

Nyra: “Wow, amazing, Lucy!”

Lucian: “Then let’s get one for you later.”

Nyra (happily): “Really, thank you!”

In the crowd, Raeysa spotted someone familiar.

Raeysa: “Eh! Look, Son of Alimna Group—Resal Alimna.”

Raeysa (realizing): “Right… last time I saw Nyra with him.”

Jimu: “Ah!! Really? Are you mistaken?”

Raeysa: “No, I’m sure. At the Liusong party, they were holding hands.”

Jimu (worried): “I understand. Don’t tell Lucian yet—he won’t believe it without proof.”

Jimu:" Let's see how the things go."

[Present – White Wings Villa]

Lucian leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.

Lucian: “Uff… let’s take a break. I can’t get enough inspiration. How should I lead the story… troublesome!!”

Juju (maid): “Do you need something, Mr. Throne?”

Lucian: “Don’t mind me. I’m going for a short walk. Also, don’t call me Mr.—just Lucian will do.”

Juju(blushing): “Understood… L-Lucian.”

Lucian (smiling): “That’s more like it.”

[On the Streets walk]

Lucian wandered into a nearby restaurant. To his shock, Nyra was inside, laughing and flirting with a boy. Lucian watched for a while .And A cold fury washed over him. He Walks straight to them.

Nyra (panicking): “Lucy! W-wait! I… it’s not what it looks like!”

Lucian grabbed the boy’s collar and struck him. Others tried to hold him back.

Rasel: “Look, who’s here—the great author Lucian Throne. Want to beat me? Or are you staring at her?”

Lucian: “How dare you do that to her!”

Rasel: “Hahaha… she only dates rich guys, you fool.”

Lucian: “Shut up!!”

Before he could strike again, Nyra grabbed his hand and pulled him outside, he is smiling teasingly, but Lucian was furious.

Lucian: “What’s going on? Care to explain?”

Nyra: “Nothing… it was a misunderstanding.”

Lucian: “Oh, so I’m blind? Or a little child who doesn’t understand?”

Nyra: “No, please hear me out!”

Lucian:"I was watching you guys for a while and I am more than sure. There is nothing you can expect more."
