Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love-Chapter 844 - 847: Benjamin Lucas IX Plans to Prank (Assist) Her Again
Chapter 844: Chapter 847: Benjamin Lucas IX Plans to Prank (Assist) Her Again
After last night, Benjamin Lucas IX could clearly feel the change in Mr. Lucas’s attitude towards Arianna Brooks.
Mr. Lucas had always been somewhat different towards Arianna, and now, he had intensified these differences even further.
The ordinarily aloof Mr. Lucas actually asked him to thank Arianna on his behalf.
This was simply unimaginable for Benjamin Lucas IX.
Inside, Benjamin was utterly frustrated!
Yet, he could not show it. Instead, he had to present a face full of admiration towards Arianna, nearly suffocating from the effort.
...
“Thank you, Mr. Lucas… Actually, it’s Mr. Cooper who is being overly polite. These were minor matters, all thanks to Mr. Lucas’s good guidance,” Lily said with a shy smile, though inwardly she was smirking with delight.

It was so amusing that Benjamin Lucas IX, who disliked her, yet found himself utterly helpless against her.
“Ahem, this is all Mr. Lucas’s intention, just be aware of that in your heart, and don’t get arrogant,” he coughed out dryly, offering her a few words of ‘education’ before instructing, “Alright, go to the tea room and make a cup of coffee for Ethan Wilson. It’s hot, so remember to make it iced coffee.”
Lily hummed in acknowledgement, waiting for any further hints from Benjamin.
But, after giving instructions, Benjamin did not offer any additional hints and simply sent her on her way.
Lily was secretly astonished.
Just yesterday, Benjamin had not allowed her to get near the CEO’s office.
Today, suddenly, he was letting her deliver coffee.
She thought about it and speculated what Benjamin might be implying; was he intentionally setting her up for embarrassment?
After all, without Benjamin’s word, she would never have known Aidan Lucas’s coffee preferences.
Iced coffee, no milk, no sugar, just two ice cubes.
If there was anything about the coffee that didn’t suit Aidan’s taste, he would not drink it.
Given his character, it would probably also annoy him.
Lily’s guess was indeed accurate; this was exactly what Benjamin intended.
Last night, he spent a long time persuading Mr. Lucas before he finally agreed to cooperate with him in testing Arianna Brooks.
He had thought that after last night, Arianna would certainly be loathed by Mr. Lucas, even severely rebuked.
But to his surprise, as soon as he came to work this morning, Mr. Lucas called him to the office and, on the contrary, reprimanded him instead.
Benjamin’s heart ached with bitterness and feelings of being wronged.
He clearly sensed Arianna’s unusual intentions towards Mr. Lucas.
Why didn’t she bite when he had created such a good opportunity for them last night?
It seemed he had underestimated Arianna Brooks.
Her actions were evidently a long-term strategy to catch a big fish.
Benjamin Lucas IX squinted his eyes, pondering to himself… It seems this Arianna Brooks is not easy to handle!

Lily prepared the iced coffee and came out from the tea room.
Carrying the coffee, she arrived outside the office.
“Knock knock…”
She knocked softly, but her heartbeat quickened in response.
“Come in.”
The man’s deep and indifferent voice came from inside the office.
The scene where he hugged her from behind, and his entire weight pressed upon her the night before, involuntarily flashed through her mind.
Lily didn’t understand why she would suddenly remember that image.
When she had first started working by his side, she wanted to win him back.
But now, she only wished to take good care of him.
He was too busy, so much that he barely had time to attend to himself.
Lily didn’t understand why he chose to live alone in a condo instead of in a mansion filled with servants.
If he were at the mansion, at least Ellie could take care of him.
Little did she know, it was because the second personality inside Aidan Lucas’s body was extremely wary of strangers.
He disliked unnecessary contact with others, and except for when Ben was in A City, he lived alone in a luxury condominium most of the time.
Steadying her nerves a bit, Lily reminded herself that now was not the time to be thinking about these things.
Discarding the random thoughts from her mind, she pushed the door open and entered.
