Chapter 209: The Ambiguous Coupleâs Suite Selina could hardly imagine what kind of impression she left on Logan.
Was she vain and over-the-top in his eyes?
The man raised a brow slightly. "Not going to finish listening? Youâve liked two hundred and fifteen tweets, and posted sixteen of your own. If Mrs.
Reid wants, I can read them all out loud."
Selina wanted to explode.
...She hadnât even realized sheâd liked that many tweets. And every single one was mocking Angelica.
No wonder Angelicaâs fans were foaming at the mouth to come for her.
But still...
Selina straightened her back, suddenly feeling justified.
"Whatâs wrong with me liking those posts? Am I not prettier than Angelica? Donât I have a better academic background? Isnât my design work leagues above hers?"
Logan chuckled. "No problem at all. Mrs. Reid is very confident."
Selina hesitated. That "very confident" wasnât sarcasm... right?
Seeing that she had fallen quiet, Logan smoothly changed the subject. "Luke just invested in a ski resort. Want to go?"
Selinaâs eyes lit up.
She had always wanted to learn how to ski, but something always got in the way.
"The resort hasnât officially opened yet," Logan said. "Luke only invited a few close friends to try it out early. Youâll have plenty of time to learn."
If it wasnât open to the public yet, that meant the place would be empty. Perfect for practice.
Selina swallowed. "Youâre going to teach me?"
Logan paused, then let out a low laugh. "Who else would Mrs. Reid want to teach her?"
Selina was mortified to realize her heart skipped a beat.
...
After agreeing on a date to go skiing, Selina headed upstairs to rest.
The next morning, when she woke up, Angelicaâs redemption video had taken over the headlines. Once again, she had cast herself as the pitiful, innocent victim.
Selina clicked into Twitter.
Angelica, wearing light makeup for a "bare-faced" look, stood in front of the camera looking haggard and remorseful. "I want to apologize on behalf of my mother. What she did is unforgivable, and sheâs already facing consequences for her actions. I just hope everyone can stay rational..."
Of course. Angelica had been ruthless enough to push all the blame onto Katie.
After days of public backlash, her fans finally felt vindicated.
[We knew our Angelica would never do such a thing. Itâs all that mother of hers dragging her down again!]
[Exactly! Katieâs her real mom. Of course Angelica trusted her! How was she supposed to know the design inspiration she gave her was stolen from Selina? Poor Angelica, getting blamed for nothing.]
There were a few differing opinions:
[But Katie gave Angelica the design, and Angelica claimed it as her own. Isnât that wrong no matter how you spin it? How can you call yourself a "genius designer" when youâre using someone elseâs ideas?]
That comment quickly got drowned out by angry fans:
[Shut up! Are you Selinaâs paid troll? Angelica didnât plagiarize!]
[So what if she used someone elseâs inspiration? Selina should be honored Angelica even used her ideas!]
[Whether Angelicaâs a genius designer or notâjust wait for the competition. Sheâll prove it.]
[Exactly. The design competition is coming up. Letâs see who wins!]
...
Selina closed the app, thoroughly bored.
Those rabid fans were all copy-pasting the same nonsense. Nothing new.
Just then, her phone rang.
Lukeâs arrogant voice came through loud and clear. "Heard youâre going to the ski resort too? Fine, out of the kindness of my heart, Iâll come personally to pick you up tomorrow. Touched?"
Selina: "..."
She glanced at the caller ID. "Youâre picking me up? No need. Loganâs coming with me."
"What, you mean you didnât know?" Luke suddenly got excited, raising his voice dramatically.
"Youâre supposed to be his foxy little wife, and you didnât even know Logan has plans tomorrow? How sadâguess itâs up to me to come pick you up!"
Selina raised an eyebrow. Logan had plans tomorrow?
Just then, Miller Butler seemed to have overheard and stepped in with a warm smile.
"Donât worry, maâam. Sir has a meeting tomorrow. Heâll join you a bit later after he flies out."
Selina had been about to suggest she wait and go with Logan, but Miller added, "Sirâs schedule tomorrow is packed. Heâll go straight from the meeting to the airport, no time to rest in between. And since itâll be quite late, he didnât want you getting tired with him. Thatâs why he specifically asked Young Master Luke to pick you up."
Luke chimed in, not one to miss his cue. "Yep, thatâs exactly what he said!"
Selina felt a small wave of warmth rise in her chest. "So thatâs why. I should post a tweet to thank him."
Miller smiled again. "Sir said as long as youâre happy, maâam, thatâs enough. No need for formal thanks between husband and wife."
Luke: "..."
Wait a secondâheâd started this to tease Selina, so how did it end up making their relationship seem even sweeter?!
...
Meanwhile, at Reid Group.
Jack finished briefing Logan: "Sir, Iâve adjusted the schedule. Youâll have at most five days free. The meetingâs been moved to tomorrow."
Logan nodded calmly. "And Selina?"
"Arranged. Young Master Luke will pick her up personally."
"Good."
Just then, an assistant knocked at the door.
"Sir, Miss Angelica is downstairs. Sheâs asking to see you."
"Not seeing her."
The assistant hesitated.
"She said... she wants to talk to you about the second condition."
Loganâs eyes flicked upward.
The second condition?
"...Let her up."
Angelica stepped into the room as if she had expected this all along.
"Mr. Reid, I knew youâd agree to meet me."
Logan didnât waste time.
"Whatâs your request?"
Angelicaâs eyes glinted.
"Mr. Reid, Iâd like..."
...
When it came time to leave, Selina glanced at the itinerary Jack had sentâsure enough, Loganâs day was packed from morning to night with meetings.
She boarded the private jet with Luke, and after a three-hour flight, their driver took them to a sprawling estate.
"Thereâs a hot spring resort and ski lodge inside," Luke explained cheerily. "Weâll stay in the resort tonightâsoaking in the springs is perfect after traveling. Oh! And listen..."
Luke suddenly leaned in, looking sneaky and excited.
"Selina, I arranged a very special room for you. Reserved it myselfânobody else got this one!"
Selina: "...?"
Lowering his voice further, Lukeâs eyes darted side to side.
"Not only does the room have a private hot spring... but letâs just say, I designed it for couples. Youâll love it."
Selina instantly had a bad feeling.
When she walked into the room, her fears were confirmedâ
The bathroom was transparent! The shower was separated from the bedroom only by frosted glass, revealing blurry silhouettes of everything.
And outside, in the garden, there was a huge, secluded open-air hot spring.
Luke swallowed hard, eyes gleaming.
"Think about it, Selina. A private outdoor hot spring, no interruptions... just you and Logan, soaking under the stars, maybe even, you know... hehe..."
He bolted before she could reply.
Leaving Selina frozen in place, staring at the room.
An open-air hot spring. A shower barely separated by foggy glass. This place was clearly made for couples.
Did Logan... know what kind of room Luke arranged?
