Chapter 22 Someone critical
After hanging up, Julian gave Jude a meaningful look.
Vanguard Law Firm had struck gold today. Mr. Graves just happened to show up too.
Julian then said, “Mr. Halston, | need to go pick someone up.”
Jude’s heart pounded. According to Julian’s tone, this person must be someone critical!
He smiled, “Of course, Mr. Rhodes. I'll cwith you!”
Kaia, hoping to take the chance to sneak out for sstomach medicine, excused herself to the Graves Group
representatives and stepped outside.
Shortly after she left, Lucien walked in, flanked by Julian and jude.
His sharp eyes swept across the room, and he raised an eyebrow.
Where is she?
The Graves Group employees immediately stood up, calling out in unison, “Mr. Graves!”
Warren looked completely stunned. He only ever saw this man in magazines before, and his voice trembled as he
spoke, “Mr.

Graves!”
Holy shit, it was the actual Lucien from the Graves family. This trip had definitely been worth it!
Julian moved to give up the head seat for Lucien, but Lucien waved him off casually. “I'll just sit here. Is this seat
taken?”
He was pointing to an empty chair.
“Uh, sure!” someone replied.
Julian’s heart jumped. he knew Lucien always kept his distance from women-but right next to that empty chair...

Two seconds later, Julian figured it out. Maybe he had introduced the Vanguard Law Firm members too quickly,
and Lucien hadn't realized that Kaia was a woman.

Kaia grabbed a pill from her purse and swallowed it dry, then asked a server for hot water and gulped it down.
Finally, she felt better.
But when she pushed open the door, she froze completely.
Why is Mr. Graves sitting right there next to my.
seat?
Jude looked at her. “Kaia, don't just stand there. Ci

down.”
Uh... Where should I sit?
Kaia stared at the only empty chair, completely spaced out.
Oh God, the only available seat was right next to Mr. Graves!
Lucien’s lips curved in the faintest hint of a smile. “Ms. Domont, aren't you going to sit down?”
His tone was utterly casual and indifferent.
Jude had no idea about the relationship of Lucien and Kaia. He assumed Kaia was too nervous to move after
seeing such an important figure.
He gestured with his eyes for Kaia to take her seat.
Everyone was giving her weird looks, so she laughed awkwardly. “Sorry about that. | was just so surprised to see
Mr. Graves.”
Lucien drummed his long fingers on the table, finding it strangely amusing to hear her address him so formally.
Jude smiled and raised his glass. “Mr. Graves, Kaia might be a bit nervous today. Please don’t take it personally.
Lettoast to you.”
With that, he drained it in one gulp.

Lucien’s eyes dropped to scan the wine glasses scattered across the table. Then he said, “Sorry, Mr. Halston. I'm
not drinking these days. Shall we switch to water instead?”
“I need a glass of warm water.”
Everyone stared at him in shock.
Seriously? Water at a business dinner like this?
But no one dared to argue. Within minutes, all the wine glasses had been swapped for water.
Then something even more surprising happened.
Lucien slid his glass of warm water over to Kaia-right there, in front of everyone.
Kaia froze.
Lucien, however, remained calm, nudging the glass a little closer.
“You look uncomfortable. This should help,” he said.
His tone was steady, like it was just a simple act of courtesy.
Kaia blinked and quickly understood.
