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.”

Lucas 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 I 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 same strategy he had.

But of course, business was business–and profit came first.

He straightened up, face turning serious. “Ms. Sloane, for the auction: I’ll handle all promotion, venue, and logistics. That means a heavy up–front cost. Given the scale of my contribution, I’m asking for a seventy–thirty split.”
