Nia didn’t miss the change in Casper’s expression. She sneered in her heart and said with a sad face,
“In the past, there were many major events in the company that required me to review and make decisions in person. But recently, I’ve been too idle, as if there are no major events at once. Isn’t this not a smooth development?”
While speaking, Nia deliberately stared at Casper closely, intent on seeing his embarrassed expression.
But Casper was much more skilled than her. He was still relaxed and undisturbed when faced with the question raised by Nia. He smiled and said,
“It means that our subordinates are extremely capable, and Kevin is also dedicated to sharing the official duties for you. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Nia couldn’t help “admiring” Casper in her heart. What a cunning person!
So she cooperated with the play, and suddenly realized, “It turns out this is the case, then I don’t worry. It’s just hard work for Kevin.”
“He’s the one who works for us, a pawn,” Casper said with a twitch of his mouth. “If he dares to disagree, I can get rid of him at any time.”
Casper just wanted to warn her, but he didn’t expect that Nia had a close relationship with Kevin. Nia smiled and didn’t say anything more, but after Casper left, she turned around and told Kevin exactly what he said.
Kevin sneered after hearing Nia’s words. As if to retaliate against Casper’s contempt for him, he also put his arms around Nia in the office, and said coldly,
“I have known for a long time that he’s ruthless, and it’s expected that he can say such things.”
“Today I’ve learned he has two faces. He says sweet words, but in fact he hides a lot of schemes in the dark. We have to be more careful.” Although Nia said so, her body still took the initiative to snuggle into Kevin’s arms.
“Lucia has changed her mind about you now. Find an appropriate opportunity to mention our matter. Remember to think carefully about every word you say, and don’t bring us in.” Kevin told Nia seriously.
“I know,” Nia replied, ” Lucia is very smart. I will be careful.”
After that, Nia and Casper met Lucia and Arthur when they attended events or dinners, but they didn’t have much interaction except for the politesse, and it seemed that they were peaceful on the surface.
But as soon as Casper saw Lucia, he couldn’t hold back his emotions. There seemed to be commotion in his heart. He always wanted to talk to her. There was a business party in Athegate tonight. The celebrities gathered and it was extremely lively. After waiting all night, Casper finally seized the opportunity and hurried forward to talk when Lucia was alone.
“Ms. Webb, why didn’t Mr. Davies accompany you?” Casper asked in surprise as if he had just seen Lucia leaning on the fence when he walked to the balcony and the breeze was blowing in his face.
Lucia gave him a sideways look, and sneered in her heart. Wasn’t he just waiting for this opportunity? In fact, why did Arthur leave her side? He just wanted to create an “opportunity” for Casper. After all, he couldn’t be tricked without contact.
“Arthur went chatting with his friends. I’m here to have fresh air.” Lucia raised her hand to fan the wind, and with just a small movement, it easily caught Casper’s attention.
Tonight, Lucia was wearing a light blue dress. Her slender neck and round shoulders were exposed behind her tied hair, and her fair skin glistened under the moonlight, making her alluring.
Not hearing Casper’s response, Lucia turned her head slightly and met his stunning gaze. She frowned slightly in displeasure, and said unceremoniously,
“Mr. Wood, would you please restrain yourself?”
Casper smiled awkwardly, but obediently suppressed the longing in his heart, and said calmly,
“Sorry, Ms. Webb, you are so beautiful. I believe that every men will not be able to take their eyes off you.”
“Isn’t Nia beautiful too?” Lucia raised her chin towards Nia who was not far away, and said intentionally.
“I said earlier that she is no match for you.” How could a sparrow compete with a phoenix? Casper answered simply.
“Should I say you’re honest, or cold?” Lucia said half-sarcastically.
“I don’t understand what you mean,” Casper said, playing dumb.
Lucia twitched the corners of her lips and gave a very perfunctory smile. She turned around and continued to look at the small garden beyond the balcony. She was silent, as if she didn’t intend to pay attention to Casper.
Casper had long been used to Lucia’s indifferent attitude. Although he was unhappy, he was still like a moth to a flame, and he can’t help but talk to her thick-skinnedly.
“Ms. Webb, how do you think about the stake?”
Lucia’s eyes moved slightly. If it wasn’t for making him tell this, she wouldn’t bother to talk to him, so she turned her head slightly, looked at Casper and asked in confusion.
“Why are you bringing this up again? Didn’t I tell you? I can take a stake, and Arthur is also very interested.”
“The Davonnis Corp branch is huge. I don’t think Mr. Davies is really interested in my small company.” Casper said directly without hiding his thoughts.
“What do you mean?” Lucia asked Casper without suppressing a sneer.
“I sincerely invite you to cooperate, but the purpose of Mr. Davies’s participation is probably just for fun. Isn’t that unfair to me?” Casper said calmly.
“Even if Arthur is for me, wouldn’t it be helpful for you to have Davonnis Corp on board?” Lucia said.
“That’s true…” But his purpose was only her alone. Casper dragged on, not daring to say what he really thought.
“Nia has been being nice to me all this time,” Lucia said deliberately, seeing that Casper was hiding deeply.
“Is it just for this?”
“Nia asks for your forgiveness. It has nothing to do with the new company.” Casper immediately denied it.
“Really?” Lucia turned her head back, staring at the rockery in the garden, and said lightly, “Then you have to persuade her. Some hatred, some resentment, not a few times to show kindness and a few nice words can let go.”
“I thought you won’t hold a grudge.” Casper said with a smile.
Lucia turned her head and stared at Casper when she heard the words. Every word she said was filled with strength from the bottom of her heart. She was speaking to him, and also to the person behind him.
“I have never been a magnanimous person. I hold vengeance very much, and I’ll take revenge, especially some people who have hurt me deeply. I’ll never let go!”
Casper was startled by the light in Lucia’s eyes. At this moment, he seemed to be Jacob but Casper!
“Why are you so sullen? You are not the person I said.” Seeing Casper’s expression changed, Lucia smiled slightly, but her voice was icy cold.
