Chapter 1650 Chosen by Mr. Jepherson
Before she left, Raeleigh took a look at Lucy and thought that she looked rather comely.
Downstairs, Raeleigh asked Jepherson, "How long has Lucy been working for you?"
"Going on two years."
"She has a thing for Stuart?"
"Not sure."
"Then why are you trying to set them up?"
Jepherson pulled Raeleigh over. "Shouldn't I? Stuart and I are the same age, but there has never been
a girl around him. He'll be thirty in another two years. If it were in the sixties, he would've already been
a father to a group of children."
Raeleigh said nothing in response.
Feeling rather speechless.
Who said that he'd have to get hitched and start a family before he was thirty?
Jepherson took this too lightly. Love wasn't something the onlookers could simply meddle in.
Raeleigh found it hard to imagine the kind of journey someone like Stuart would have in his love life.
...
"Where's Mr. Jepherson?" Stuart returned to see the door to Jepherson's office wide open, so he
entered. Jepherson and Raeleigh were nowhere to be seen while Lucy was cleaning up.
Lucy looked over at Stuart and said, "He'd left. Mr. Jepherson told me to have you send me home as
it's late. But you don't have to; I have a car." Lucy said as she cleaned up.
Stuart wouldn't go against Jepherson's orders, so he did as told.
Stuart helped out then asked Lucy, "Are you going home for dinner or eating outside?"
"I'm going home to eat. My parents are waiting for me, so I have to."
After cleaning up, Lucy washed her hands and followed Stuart outside. Then she brought him to her
car.
As they walked, Lucy kept telling him he didn't need to send her off, but Stuart kept silent, following her
to the underground parking lot. When they arrived, Lucy intended to drive only for Stuart to tell her to sit
in the front passenger seat while he drove.
As she stayed quite some distance away from the company in addition to the traffic jam, Stuart was still
in the car at eight.
However, he wasn't anxious at all while Lucy had called her brother and parents. She seemed to have
a lot of family members.
When she reached home, her brother was waiting for her at the door.
Lucy got out of the car and planned to let Stuart drive her car back. It wasn't until she looked back
that she found the Harvey family's car had been following behind.
"Thank you for sending me back, Mr. Robertson."
Lucy got out of the car and thanked Stuart. Stuart had intended to leave then, but the driver got out and
went to him before he could.
"It's from Mr. Jepherson."
The driver handed the phone to Stuart. He answered the phone and looked at the person coming over.
"Lucy, who is this?"
It was Lucy's older brother, Chirsen. She introduced Stuart, saying, "He's Mr. Harvey's assistant.
Seeing it's so late, he sent me back."
"Is that so? Invite him in for dinner then. We're waiting for you anyways; we can't let him leave with an
empty stomach."
"Oh no, I don't think he has the time..."
Lucy intended to refuse on his behalf, but Stuart returned the phone to the driver and said, "I happen to
be hungry; thank you for the invitation."
Lucy didn't know how to respond.
Holding her bag, Lucy stood beside her car, looking somewhat lost.
He was just here to send her back. How had things developed into this?
Hearing Stuart's answer and Lucy's reaction, Chirsen had a hunch.
There had never been a boy around Lucy growing up, as she never thought much of them; Stuart was Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
probably no exception. However, Stuart probably had a thing for his sister; if he didn't, he wouldn't have
accepted his invitation.
Chirsen hurriedly invited Stuart in.
It took no time for Lucy's parents to approve of Stuart when they saw the handsome and well-spoken
guest.
With the arrival of an unexpected guest, Lucy's mother, Melinda hurriedly cooked up another dish.
While Lucy's father, Morgus, and Chirsen entertained Stuart, Lucy went upstairs to get changed. It
didn't take long for her to come back down.
She wore light-colored loungewear and a pair of slippers. When she came downstairs, Lucy said, "Mr.
Robertson is always tied up with work. Don't ask him too many questions; he's my boss."
Stuart sized Lucy up and said after a while, "It's okay; I also find it fun to talk with Mr. Morgus and Mr.
Chirsen."
Lucy was utterly speechless. First time visiting, and already he was talking to her so candidly?
He seemed to have really thought of himself as part of the family.
"C'mon over; dinner's ready. Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Robertson."
Melinda put down the dish and said to Stuart. Lucy knew her mother was obviously trying to please
him.
"Mom, Stuart is my superior. It's not what you think." Lucy knew very well that Stuart and Jepherson
had a relationship that no one else could even start to aspire.
Melinda ignored her and said, "Let's eat."
Why would he stay if he didn't have feelings for her?
With that, Stuart went to wash his hands and stayed with the Wagners for dinner.
As the family ate, they asked Stuart all kinds of questions; his age, family members, hobbies, and
things like that.
Lucy was like a stepmother's child, sitting next to Stuart, eating with a bitter face.
Stuart stayed for a while after dinner as per Melinda's request. When he was ready to leave, Lucy went
to see him off, feeling glad that he was finally leaving.
Out the door, standing next to the car, Stuart asked Lucy, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Lucy looked at Stuart, confused, but she vaguely felt it wasn't something Stuart should know.
"Why would you ask me this?"
Lucy found it strange.
Stuart said bluntly, "I'm an orphan who grew up in the Harvey family; Mr. Harvey and his family raised
me. When I grew up, I stayed by his side and worked for them. For this, I'll do whatever they want me
to do."
"What do you mean?"
Still confused, Lucy fixed her gaze at Stuart's handsome and gentle face.
Stuart glanced over at Chirsen, who was standing at the front door, waiting for Lucy.
"Would you mind taking a stroll with me?"
Lucy looked back and understood he wanted to talk in private, so she agreed.
"Give me a moment; I'll just let my brother know."
After informing Chirsen, Lucy followed Stuart to the streetlights.
It was a somewhat cold autumn. Stuart removed his coat and draped it over Lucy's shoulder, and she
said thanks.
A long shadow formed as they walked under the streetlights. Stuart put his hands behind his back while
Lucy buried hers inside her clothes. As they walked away and back to Lucy's house, Stuart told Lucy
his stories in the Harvey family.
After stopping, Lucy asked, "Are you going to listen to Mr. Jepherson even when it comes to your
marriage?"
Stuart blinked and asked, "Do you hate me?"
Stumped, Lucy shook her head. "No."
Stuart smiled and said, "I should be glad Mr. Jepherson chose you and not Miss Perry from HR."
Lucy thought for a moment. She had an impression of that Miss Perry he was referring to; she was very
imperious.
