Lucas emerged from the room with a cushion in hand and quietly stepped over to Sloane. He gently slid the
cushion beneath her where she sat on the floor. “It’s cold down there,” he said softly.
Sloane looked up, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. Then she offered him a faint, appreciative smile. “Thanks.”
Lucas sat across from her, his gaze fixed on her. “If you need help,” he said, “Andrew can assist.”
Sloane met his eyes steadily. “A complimentary perk from our partnership?”
Lucas’s lips curled in a subtle smile, calm and confident. “I can tell Ms. Sloane isn't meant for small ponds.
Consider it an early investment. Could pay off in unexpected ways.”
Sloane's eyes lifted, her expression touched with amusement. “No wonder you're the man holding half of
Stonebridge’s business world in your hands. Sharp eye. Big moves.”
“I happen to have a proposal of my own,” she added. “The question is, Mr. Hawthorne-are you interested?”
Lucas leaned in slightly, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “Let’s hear it.”
Sloane's demeanor turned serious. She pulled a small, elegantly crafted brocade box from her bag. When she
opened it, a luminous, pearl-like pill rested quietly inside.
“Mr. Hawthorne,” she began, “this is the Disguise Pill. Something I've spent years refining. It's inspired by the
legendary Muscle Pill-but this is a superior version. All the benefits, none of the side effects.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas leaned closer, drawn to the subtle glow of the pill, his expression full of intrigue.
Sloane continued. “For women, it smooths and brightens the skin to a luster like white jade. It improves internal
balance, boosts energy, and keeps the body light and agile-without any side effects. Taken over time, the results
compound. It’s like turning back the clock. True preservation of youth.”
Lucas sat up straighter. For a brief moment, genuine surprise crossed his face. “If this hits the market, it'll cause
a frenzy in elite circles-socialites, heiresses, celebrities. Every woman with money will want it.”
Sloane's smile deepened. “Exactly. And | want to launch it through your auction house. With your network and
reputation, Disguise Pill could reach the highest circles around the world.

Lucas leaned back in his chair, tapping the armrest thoughtfully. “It’s a solid idea. But to make it work, the pre-
launch hype has to be perfect. I'll have Andrew coordinate with global fashion outlets, elite social influencers,
and high-end celebrities. We'll leak just enough to stir up the buzz. Everyone will be waiting for the drop.”
Sloane nodded. “And for the first auction, we'll only offer ten pills. That scarcity will drive the hype even further.”
Lucas smiled, clearly impressed. She'd thought of the sstrategy he had.
But of course, business was business-and profit cfirst.
He straightened up, face turning
serious. “Ms. Sloane, for the auction:

His tone was firm. “My connections and platform are what'll launch Disguise Pill to the world. Without them, even
the best product might never take off.”
Sloane didn't flinch. Her reply was
