Chapter 3008: Chapter 198: Sudden Nausea

"You’re welcome, Director Lucas. I’m glad you like it." The secretary called ’Jasmine’ had eyes that sparkled.

The other two new female secretaries, who handed out Chinese takeaway, salad, and coffee, showed disappointed expressions.

Next time, they’ll remember that Director Lucas likes to eat sweets and drink lemon tea. Who would have thought that such a clean and handsome man would actually have a sweet tooth... what a mistake.

These three are all secretaries under Harrison Lucas. In the more than two years that Harrison has been at Royal Palace, he has climbed step by step to the position of financial director, and his working ability undoubtedly crushes everyone else.

When ’he’ first parachuted into the company, the entire company thought that Harrison was able to directly enter the Royal Palace Headquarters without examination simply because ’he’ was named Lucas.

But when everyone found out that Harrison had been with that impressive young master Ben Lucas at Royal Palace since childhood and had followed Ben Lucas from the Military Academy to the military, serving as Ben Lucas’s adjutant, being by his side for at least twenty years, everyone shut up.

Although Ben Lucas pursued a military career and rarely appeared at Royal Palace, he would occasionally drop by during holidays or when Mr. Lucas had matters to attend to.

And when he did, his awe-inspiring, indifferent, and stringent military management style almost always managed to peel a layer off everyone’s skin.

The key point is, his strict seriousness is not just for show; every time, he accurately pinpoints issues, earning him both respect and fear across Royal Palace.

As for Harrison Lucas, to have stayed under such a strict individual like Ben Lucas for over twenty years ’unharmed’ proves his outstanding abilities.

Indeed, when Harrison parachuted into Royal Palace Group, aside from the initial period of adjustment, he quickly demonstrated his abilities flawlessly.

Two years later, he was already securely seated as financial director, holding the fiscal power of the Royal Palace Group.

Such a man, handsome and capable, initially comes across as indifferent and cold, but once he raises the corners of his lips in a smile, it warms the heart.

Moreover, ever since Director Lucas entered Royal Palace, he has remained chaste, not taking advantage of his youth and power to mess around with relationships.

For as long as ’he’ has been at Royal Palace, those under him have never seen ’him’ dating any woman, nor have they seen ’him’ engaging in any inappropriate flirtations with other female employees.

In short, one sentence sums it up—Director Lucas is the most popular single gentleman in the Finance Department on the 32nd floor, or even in the entire Royal Palace Group.

Not being sensitive to women’s feelings, Harrison Lucas naturally didn’t know that all the subordinates saw ’him’ as a golden bachelor, watching eagerly.

Harrison Lucas entered the office with hot lemon tea and tiramisu, and after closing the door, a joyful smile appeared on his cool face.

Desserts, her favorites.

Harrison Lucas placed the hot tea and cake on the office desk, happily picking up a small spoon and scooping a bite.

Just as it touched the lips, sweetness melted into the heart, and before the smile on the lips could fade, Harrison suddenly felt the sweetness in his mouth turn off, becoming so cloying that it made him nauseous.

"Ugh..." Harrison covered his mouth, his gastrointestinal muscles contracting, feeling an urge to vomit.

Was this cake spoiled?

Harrison put down the spoon, his slender eyebrows knitted tightly, never expecting that the subordinates would buy spoiled cake.

He was just about to call the secretary in to handle it. If it was indeed an issue with the vendor, a complaint must be made, if only to prevent others from getting sick.

But the phone suddenly rang beside him.
