Chapter 88 is indeed no match
Lucia’s deep affection for Arthur is now interpreted by Juliana as a person who turns the other cheek like a book. Even though Lucia’s eyebrows are like water, gentle and sweet, and looks very good to get along with, Juliana, who already has some misunderstandings about her, now believes Poppy’s words.
“This is Juliana, she just returned home yesterday.” Arthur greeted Lucia and stretched out his arm to embrace her when he came to her, intending to ease her excitement just now.
“What are you doing, this is a public place!” Lucia blushed and pushed Arthur away, not to mention that there was a Juliana standing next to her. Looking at Juliana, she greeted her with a smile: “Hello Miss Knight, first time meeting, I’m Lucia.”
Lucia’s respect for the workplace was once again misinterpreted by Juliana, thinking that she was using a rejection tactic on Arthur. Restraining herself from the urge to sneer, she extended her hand and responded indifferently, “Hello, I’m Juliana, first time meeting, please advise me.”
With Lucia by his side, Arthur’s attention has always been fully focused on her, and if not for that, he might have noticed that something was wrong with Juliana.
But Lucia is very intelligent, she found that Juliana seems to be a bit indifferent to herself, but after all, they are the first time to meet, want to meet like old friends to get acquainted also impossible, so she does not care, to Juliana mildly said:
“It’s just about lunch break, let’s go have lunch together, shall we?”
Juliana pulled on a fake smile and nodded.
Lucia asked Arthur and Juliana to wait for her for a while, and went back to her office to get something:
“Julia, what’s wrong?”
Juliana hastily pulled up a big smile and said to Arthur:
“What else can I do, it’s not because your girlfriend is too beautiful, I am compared to it, not happy!”
She also gave a deliberate cold snort.
Juliana’s words made Arthur laugh, and he nodded in a pretentious manner, then deliberately looked Juliana up and down and said fervently, “Indeed, it is no match.”
“You!” Juliana choked in anger.
Arthur and Juliana were laughing when Lucia came out with her things, and as soon as Arthur saw Lucia, he went over and helped her pick up her bag.
Juliana stood aside and watched Arthur and Lucia laughing and joking, her heart suddenly lost some, she also found, as long as Lucia appeared, Arthur can even ignore their own existence, although this jealousy is not from love, but still will make Juliana inexplicably upset.
“Let’s go when Miss Webb is ready, shall we?” Finally, Juliana couldn’t resist interjecting.
When Juliana said something, Arthur and Lucia realized that they had neglected her, especially Lucia felt sorry for Arthur who had been teasing her, so she hastened to pull Arthur over to Juliana and said:
“Sorry, Miss Knight you’re hungry, let’s go now.”
“Lucia, you don’t have to be so polite to her, just call her Julia.” Arthur laughed at the side, as a middleman, he naturally did not want his best friend and his lover to be so rusty.
Lucia was a little embarrassed, after all, it was only the first time they had met, but for Arthur’s sake, she shouted ‘Julia’ with a cheeky smile and a nod of her head, displeased in her heart that Lucia was too good at getting close.
However, also in order to take into account Arthur, Juliana still also intimately shouted ‘Lucia’, Lucia suddenly smiled more, think Juliana is very good to get along with, besides, she has long heard a lot of rumors about her from Arthur, such a cheerful and frank woman, she is very like.
Arthur still insisted on holding Lucia’s hand and rubbing it from time to time to confirm her body temperature, while Lucia was shyly burying her head, always feeling embarrassed in front of Juliana.
When Juliana went out with her friends before, she had to be the light bulb as a single person, but she had never felt so bright.
Arthur took Lucia and Juliana to a famous Western restaurant in the city. Juliana had lived abroad for a long time and although she had a deep love for her motherland, she still preferred Western style in her eating habits, so Arthur did not take her to a Chinese restaurant on purpose.
Juliana really felt enough of this meal at noon.
During the meal, although Lucia kept teasing herself to talk and trying to get closer, Arthur beside her was able to bring the conversation back to Lucia and their child, Theodore, with a few words.
Juliana knew that Arthur didn’t mean it, after all, their relationship was like siblings, there was no need to be polite, but with Lucia in the room, she was just inexplicably upset.
But Lucia’s elegance and rich knowledge revealed in the conversation was a surprise to Juliana, and she was even more surprised after knowing that she also graduated from MIT.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
However, this little knowledge did not make Juliana change her mind about Lucia.
The long lunch time passed, of course, this is only for Juliana’s feelings, as for Arthur, he is not enough time with Lucia, but even so, once the time came, he still had to reluctantly send Lucia back to the office.
Under Jibillion Inc, Juliana did not get out of the car and sat in the back seat while Arthur dropped Lucia off in front of the office before asking her:
“Why were you so angry just now?”
Previously Juliana had been around, so Arthur did not ask Lucia the reason for her anger at the company at noon. As Lucia’s boyfriend, he naturally had to understand her emotional changes.
“Hey,” Lucia said with a helpless sigh:
“Just now that person is the company’s project department’s old staff, so many years has been dedicated to their duties, did not expect this time for a little selfishness to our bid for a project’s base price revealed to the opponent, the project department nearly a month of effort lost, I found out that he betrayed the company after talking to him, originally wanted to understand the inside story, did not expect him to shirk responsibility. ”
I see, Arthur nodded with understanding, and added: “Just dismissal is too cheap.”
Arthur has always tolerated betrayal, and if it is someone from Davonnis Corp, he will not only dismiss the person, but also send him to court to receive sanctions.
“He has said he has old people and children to take care of, forget it, dismissal is already the harshest punishment for him.” Lucia just acted, in fact, has been merciful.
“You’re just too nice to talk to.” Arthur praised Lucia’s innocence, but raised his hand to pinch her cheek and scolded her falsely.
“Come on, go and keep Julia company, she’s had a hard time coming to see you.” Noticing that the two had been talking for too long, Lucia glanced at the car parked on the side of the road and said to Arthur.
“Good, then you work well, I will come to pick you up after work this afternoon.” Arthur said with a smile and stole a fragrance on Lucia’s lips when she wasn’t paying attention, putting Lucia to shame, and the two of them made a scene for a while before separating.
Lucia went back to work and Arthur returned to the car and immediately turned his head excitedly to ask Juliana sitting in the back: “Well, I told you Lucia was nice to be around.”
Juliana softly hmm, did not say anything more, just when they talk when they have been watching in the car, Lucia seems to be looking towards this side, do not know and Arthur said what he said?
Once there is an established impression, even a frank person like Juliana begins to speculate about the actions of others.
