“But Lucia just ignores me!” Nia said with a sad face.
“Be patient,” Kevin said again. “You and her have a lot of grievances, so what’s the use of that show? From now on, I will follow Casper’s instructions. You have the right to ignore it and just take care of the relationship between you and Lucia.”
Face or life, Nia didn’t have to bother to choose, and answered again and again.
“Also, with Casper’s behavior style, he will never leave you alone. Try not to contact me during this time, and look around more. He must have sent someone to watch you.” Kevin reminded.
“He actually sent someone to watch me?!” Hearing Kevin’s words, Nia felt a chill down her spine.
“Of course, he used to be a person who likes to control everything. Back then, Poppy was also firmly controlled by him. We can’t repeat the same mistakes and let him foolishly manipulate us.”
“I understand. I will be careful,” Nia quickly agreed again. Now she can no longer think for herself, but can only rely on Kevin’s calmness.
“Stable Growth cooperates with Webbex Group. I have an excuse to contact Lucia. You have to be careful yourself. If Casper finds any clues…”
Nia could imagine Casper executing herself and Kevin, and it terrified her.
“Don’t worry. He doesn’t know about our relationship. Well, that’s all for now. You calm down and think about how to win Lucia over. If it doesn’t work, just use the last trick.” Kevin didn’t say much, and just hung up the phone.
After the call was over, only Nia was left alone in the living room, standing blankly. At this time, a horn sounded outside the window, which scared her like a frightened rabbit, and she almost jumped up.
She ran to the window and found that it was only a neighbor who was honking the horn downstairs. Nia stroked her chest and panted heavily. What Kevin said was undoubtedly like a sharp knife lying on her heart. If she was not careful, this sharp knife will be take her life!
No! Everything that she had finally obtained must not be gone!
At noon the next day, Lucia, who had just finished lunch with Arthur, came back to the company and saw Nia sitting on the sofa next to the assistant seat waiting for her, with a drink on the coffee table. Out of the corner of her eye, Lucia recognized that she bought it at her favorite cafe.
“Miss Davidson, why didn’t you tell me before you came?” Lucia smiled while standing in front of Nia.
Nia stood up quickly, raised her hands to comb her hair, changed her usual gorgeous makeup, and looked at Lucia today with a light makeup and said with a smile,
“I just passed your favorite coffee shop just now, and I remembered your favorite special roasted coffee, so I bought a cup of it there. You can try it and it’s still hot.”
After speaking, Nia picked up the cup and handed it to Lucia, looking at her helplessly.
“I’m sorry to have you to come here just for a cup of coffee.” Lucia didn’t immediately reach out to take it, but looked at Nia apologetically and said.
Nia looked sincere, smiled and continued, “Ms. Webb, you are welcome. Recently, I always think of the days when I was with you. I couldn’t be more innocent and happy at that time. So when I passed by that coffee shop, I couldn’t help but feel like I brought you a cup of coffee as before.”
Lucia’s eyes sparkled, and she slowly lowered her head to look at the cup of coffee in Nia’s hand. Her tone was gentle and not revealing too much emotion. She just reached out to take it and said calmly,
“Now your status is different. You don’t need to do anything for me. I accept it this time. You don’t need to trouble yourself next time. My assistant will do these things.”
“It’s okay. I’m willing…” Nia still stared at Lucia closely and said earnestly, “Besides, I really envy her…”
After speaking, Nia turned her head and glanced at Lucia’s current assistant. Her eyes were full of explicit feelings.
Lucia smiled, as if she didn’t understand the deep meaning of Nia’s words. She opened the coffee cup and took a sip. Sure enough, it was still hot. The coffee shop she liked was not close to the Webbex Group. To keep the coffee temperature must need some efforts, but her action seemed genuinely sincere.
“Will you come in and sit down?” Lucia asked Nia after the coffee was tasted.
Nia quickly shook her head, smiled embarrassedly and said,
“No, I’m just here to deliver coffee, so I don’t want to disturb you anymore. Ms. Webb, I’m leaving first, and we’ll talk next time we have a chance.”
After speaking, Nia did exactly as she said, and left immediately. Lucia took the cup of coffee and watched her leave with a smile. After Nia disappeared from sight, she asked the assistant,
“How long has Nia been here?”
“Fifteen minutes.”
The timing was pretty good. The smile on Lucia’s lips deepened, and she turned back to the office with the cup of coffee.
Early the next morning, the assistant greeted Lucia as soon as she arrived at the company, holding a cup of coffee in her hand. Lucia raised her eyebrows slightly. Before the assistant could speak, she asked,
“Is it from Nia?”
“Well, she delivered it herself, and said she didn’t want to disturb you, and she has already left first.” The assistant told Lucia.
“Really?” Lucia took the coffee and smiled lightly, saying to the assistant, “You will accept all the coffee she brings in the future, but don’t mention me.”
“Okay.” The assistant nodded. In the next week, as Lucia expected, Nia would take pains to bring a cup of coffee to Webbex Group every morning. At first, she just put down the coffee and left. But after a week, she wasn’t patient anymore.
“Gracie, Ms. Webb hasn’t come yet?” This time, Nia didn’t leave immediately after putting down the coffee, but started a conversation with Lucia’s assistant as if nothing had happened.
“Not yet.” Gracie replied politely.
Nia frowned. She had been insisting on this “sincere” behavior for a week. At the beginning, she calculated the time to send Lucia coffee before work. Later, she deliberately delayed the time to meet Lucia and express her nostalgia. But she did not expect not to meet her.
This made Nia a little impatient. After all, getting up early every morning to buy coffee was no longer something she should do in her capacity.
“Did Ms. Webb … not say anything?” Nia asked cautiously after a moment’s hesitation.
“What does she say?” Gracie asked Nia in a nonchalant manner. ” What kind of things do you want to know?”
“It’s all right,” Nia quickly waved her hand and said, “Then I’ll put the coffee here and go first.”
Seeing Nia leaving in a hurry, Gracie couldn’t help laughing that Lucia really predicted things well.
