It was the morning when Lucia made a phone call. Nia and Daphne were working in their respective seats, and Daphne's phone suddenly rang.

After picking up the phone, Daphne greeted her excitedly, knowing that it was Lucia in the USA. Nia on the side heard Daphne calling Lucia, and her ears perked up immediately.

"Well, do you want to stay for a few more days? Yes, I know. It's the financial statement, right? Well, I will negotiate with him. I see, then Lucia, have a good vacation. I will wait for you to come back." After Daphne earnestly listened to Lucia's instructions, the two hung up the phone.

Nia guessed most of the content of the conversation between the two, and realized that Lucia asked Daphne to arrange work instead of her. And her brows immediately furrowed.

After Daphne hung up the phone, she stood up and repeated Lucia's instructions to Nia. After she finished speaking, Nia replied coldly,

"I see."

Daphne noticed Nia frowning and looking unhappy, so she asked her, "Nia, are you uncomfortable?"

When Nia was upset, she heard Daphne say this and replied, "Well, my stomach is uncomfortable."

"Then go back and rest. Just leave it to me here." Daphne suggested with concern.

Nia glanced at Daphne and asked her, "But Lucia has just explained her work, so I can't go back and rest now."

"It's okay. I'm here." Daphne patted her chest and said so. She wasn't scheming at all and just hoped that Nia could rest well.

"Okay then, I'll go back to rest first. I'll leave it to you." Nia picked up her bag, got up after speaking, and left without saying anything. Daphne looked at her leaving back and sincerely hoped that her stomach pain got better soon.

Out of company, Nia walked on the street with anger. She was extremely unwilling. She had followed Lucia for so long. Why did she not look for her when she arranged work, but Daphne? Was Daphne more capable than her? Was she better at the job than her?

"Daphne, who do you think you are!" Angrily muttering to herself, Nia was displeased. Now she just left the company. She didn't know what to do for a while, so she called Lennie.

"Lennie, I'm alone on the street. Can I go to your place?"

"I'm in the company now. It's not very convenient." Lennie rejected Nia's suggestion.

Nia was in a bad mood now. She was unhappy when she heard Lennie's rejection, so she said with anger, "Lennie, you don't want me to appear in your company? Are you afraid others will know your girlfriend is just a little assistant?"

Lennie was silent for a while, then said to Nia seriously for the first time, "Nia, are you serious when you say these words?"

As soon as Nia heard Lennie's deep voice, she knew that he was not happy. Realizing that what she said was a little wayward, she quickly replied,

"Lennie, I didn't mean to say that. I was just afraid that you would dislike me."

"I didn't dislike you. You are Lucia's assistant when I first dated with you." Lennie said solemnly, "It's just that I'm entertaining clients now, which is really inconvenient."

"I'm sorry, then I won't go. I'll go home by myself and wait for you to get off work." Nia said obediently, not realizing that she was being led away by Lennie.

"Good, I'll go after work." After Lennie finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Nia calmed down for a while and walked to the subway station to go home. She would never know that Lennie on the other side had an impatient look on his face after he hung up the phone.

"Lennie, are you going to stay with that woman all the time?" Lennie was in his office at the moment, but the person sitting beside him was not a client, but a handsome man of his age, who was a foreigner. "She can be close to Lucia all the time. Of course I want to be with her." Lennie replied simply, making no secret of her intention to use Nia.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Are you really that obsessed with Lucia? You even came here for her, and I'm even here too." The man asked.

"Obsessed?" Lennie looked at the blue sky outside the window and said, "I am more than obsessed with her..."

It was an inscribed presence in the soul. Lennie added inwardly.

Thousands of miles away in the USA, Lucia and Arthur spent a pleasant four-day vacation with Theodore. The family had fun in all the famous beaches in Irvine. Otis had an important business two days ago. On the fifth day, Lucia and Arthur said goodbye to Theodore and Helena.

The night before the departure, after Theodore fell asleep, Helena specially called Lucia and Arthur into the living room to chat with them about Esmae.

"Lucia, my mother is too stubborn, but she always loves you. You must not hate what she is doing now." Helena actually admired Lucia. If she was so forced by her mother to separate from the man she loved, and she would even go to marry a man she hated, she must have collapsed long ago.

"I know. I don't hold grudges against her, but I don't know what to do now." Lucia said melancholy, and looked unconsciously worried.

"If you and Arthur have no hope, then it's even more impossible for me and Otis," Helena said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I felt really hesitant when I fell in love with Otis, but Otis is so charming. His character is completely the opposite of me, calm and secure. I really couldn't help being attracted to him."

"Otis is a good man." Arthur did not forget to praise Otis at this time.

"Well, so don't give up on Lucia. My hope and Otis's are on you too." Helena said seriously to Arthur.

"Of course," Arthur said firmly, taking Lucia's hand. "I'll never let go of her hand in my life."

"Seeing you like this makes me more confident," Helena finally smiled, and then said to Lucia guiltily,

"Lucia, I'm sorry I can't give Teddy to you. I have my difficulties too, but don't worry. I will take good care of him."

"Helena, don't say that," Lucia smiled back at Helena tenderly, and said, "I am very relieved that Teddy is with you. Now I have just taken back the Webbex Group. To be honest, I may not be able to take good care of Teddy. He may be better when he's still here. So I'm going to keep bothering you."

"Silly, why are you being so polite to me." Helena said, patting Lucia's arm lightly.
