Lucia opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to call Arthur’s name, but she quickly reacted and changed the address,
“Mr. Davies, I heard from Kane that Davonnis Corp is developing an industrial park north of the city after Christmas, and I’d like to take a stake in it.”
Arthur, knowing that the truth between the two of them had always been shrouded in a veil, did not deliberately mind her changing her address to him. When he heard her say this, he simply replied,
“Okay.”
In fact, it was supposed to be the company’s top-secret that Arthur had personally leaked to Kane, so Lucia asked, and he didn’t say no, of course. It should be said that whatever Lucia asked, he will do his best.
“A two-way partnership is not as strong as a three-way partnership. Mr. Davies, it’s needed to find another partner,” she said, adding that Arthur’s decision would never surprise her.
“Yes, I’ll talk to her in a few days,” Arthur said softly, and his eyes were still full of tenderness.
“Don’t let her know I’m involved,” Lucia urged.
“Yes.” Arthur nodded. There was no need to negotiate.
The ten billion worth project was decided in a few words by Lucia and Arthur, but after the decision, Lucia had nothing to say. Her hand touched her knee a little, and her eyes went to her toes.
“You’ve lost weight,” Arthur whispered as he looked at the tiny wrist sticking out of Lucia’s sleeve.
“I haven’t had much of an appetite these days,” said Lucia softly, looking down.
“I’m sorry,” Arthur murmured, looking at Lucia’s slightly fluttered eyelashes.
Lucia’s heart skipped a beat. She could hardly contain her emotions. She knew, of course, why Arthur said he was sorry.
Ever since Spencer had surrounded the building, Arthur could no longer bring her food. Although they hadn’t said anything to each other, they both knew what was going on.
“Arthur…” finally, lucia called out Arthur’s name in the same helpless tone as Arthur, but before Arthur could react, the door of the office was suddenly opened. They looked over in unison.
“Spencer’s here,” Kyle said anxiously to Arthur, with his eyes looking sideways. Apparently, Spencer was already on his way.
“He has a lot of nerve…” Arthur half-squinted his eagle eyes.
Lucia stood up slowly and said to Kyle, “Let him in.”
She wanted to “talk” to him about working with Davonnis Corp.
As soon as Lucia spoke, Kyle, who was standing in the doorway trying to clear the way, was pushed away by a hand, and Spencer took his place.
“Lucia! There you are!” shouted Spencer angrily, seeing Lucia in the office and Arthur sitting across from her.
Lucia smiled and looked at Spencer calmly. Arthur stood up slowly and the two of them stared at Spencer.
Their actions made Spencer feel like an unruly intruder, and an insignificant person. Thinking of this, Spencer glared at Arthur and walked toward Lucia,
“Come back with me at once!”
“Spencer, have some manners,” Lucia said coldly, staring straight into Spencer’s eyes.
“Manners?!” Spencer’s voice instantly raised several degrees. “How dare you talk to me about having manners? Why did you come to this place without telling me? Where are your manners?”
“I’m here on business with Mr. Davies. Would you like me to inform you?” Lucia sneered.
Arthur sat back down again, leaning back against the sofa and sneering at Spencer. As for holding him down, Lucia was enough.
“Business?” Lucia’s words made Spencer frown. His eyes wandered between the two of them for a moment, then he pointed at Arthur rudely and asked Lucia,
“What business do you have with him?! I think you’ve come to rekindle your romance!”
“Spencer, watch your language and your manners,” said Arthur who was being pointed by Spencer’s finger. His purple eyes were gleaming with coldness.
“Ms. Webb and I are talking about a joint project. This has nothing to do with you. Are you trying to get me to ‘invite’ you out of here by showing up uninvited and being so rude?”
“Arthur, don’t think I’m afraid of you,” Spencer said unapologetically, but he put his finger down. He knew this wasn’t his place, but he still shouted,
“Lucia is my fiancee, and I have a right to know where she is and who she is meeting, not an outsider like you!”
Arthur shrugged, chuckled indifferently, and handed the floor to Lucia.
“Spencer, stop talking about the fiancee status. We’re at Davonnis Corp. In Mr. Davies’ office. I was talking to him about working together. The relationship between you and I has nothing to do with Mr. Davies. Will you please go back and leave us alone?”
Lucia was being polite, but Spencer was furious.
“Working together? With what? Working with doing one thing under cover of another?” Spencer was unsparing in his sarcasm, “Whatever project you want to do, I have Cloudwork. Come back with me at once!”
As he spoke, Spencer wanted to reach out to grab Lucia’s hand, but she easily dodged it. Lucia frowned. She was clearly running out of patience. She glared at Spencer and shouted,
“Spencer, watch your mouth. I’m not done with Mr. Davies. Even if we are, I’m the one who decides whether or not to leave. Don’t embarrass yourself here!”
“You’re embarrassing yourself!” Spencer was furious. Lucia had evaded him several times to embarrass him in front of Arthur. His eyes were already showing signs of hysteria, and he didn’t think twice about what he said,
“What kind of relationship did you have with Arthur? Why do you want to work with him when you can’t? How dare you come to him so early in the morning? Are you trying to hook up with Arthur now that my company’s reputation is in tatters?”
As soon as Spencer said that, a clear slap sounded and Lucia slapped him without hesitation.
“Spencer, Mr. Davies just said, watch your words and actions. Don’t say something about hooking up. You’re not only insulting me, but you’re also insulting yourself!”
