After a few seconds, Daphne reacted and whispered suspiciously, "Does Nia know?"

Then why did she suggest that she make chocolate for Lucia?

"Of course Nia knows." Nia had been with her for a long time. She should tell Daphne some of Lucia's preferences when she came to work, so Lucia never specifically told Daphne about this. Now, with Daphne's tone, she seemed to have no idea.

"Did Nia suggest you make me the cup of chocolate?" Lucia asked Daphne tentatively after thinking for a while.

Daphne's mind was simple. She nodded without thinking too much,

"Well, when you came back from USA some time ago, I was worried because you looked tired. At this time, Nia suggested that I make you a cup of hot chocolate, saying that chocolate can make you feel good and suit you, so I just..."

Daphne didn't dare to finish the words, because she knew that she had made a big mistake.

"Lucia, I'm sorry. I don't know..." Daphne said as her eyes turned red, and she felt that she was so guilty.

Seeing Daphne's guilt, Lucia suddenly felt distressed. She quickly stood up and came to Daphne's side to comfort her, "It's okay. My tone was too grim just now."

"No," Daphne looked at Lucia pitifully and said, "It's my fault. I don't understand it clearly. I'm stupid. I don't find you don't like it every time, and I keep making chocolate for you. Lucia, you must be very embarrassed. You barely drink it every time."

Daphne felt even more guilty when she thought about the empty cups she collected every time she came in. At that time, she thought Lucia liked it very much.

"Silly girl..." Daphne's kindness was really touching. Lucia gave her a light hug and comforted her, "It's okay. We just make it clear now." owns this text.

"Yes," Daphne wiped away her tears and said firmly, "I will never make chocolate again! I'll make you what... what kind of coffee..." Daphne stupidly forgot the name of coffee that Lucia liked.

"Baking premium blue mountain," Lucia said with a smile because of Daphne's lovely reaction, "It's not something that can be brewed casually. Only a skilled barista can brew it. You don't have to worry about it. If you want to send me water, just ordinary coffee or plain water will do."

"That's too frivolous!" Daphne was reluctant.

Her reaction amused Lucia who wiped her tears and said, "Okay, don't mind. Go out to work and call Nia in by the way." "Okay..." Daphne nodded, thought for a while and then said, "Lucia, I don't think Nia did it on purpose. I don't blame her."

If Lucia blamed Nia for this, she would be even more disliked by her. Daphne thought so, but didn't dare to say it.

"Well, I know." Lucia nodded, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. Whether it was intentional or not, she'll find out later. Daphne adjusted herself and went out. When she got to the assistant seat, she said to Nia, "Nia, Lucia asked you to come to her office."

"Ah?" Nia, who was still in a daze, didn't react at once, "For what?"

"I don't know either..." Daphne lowered her eyes and said so a little guilty.

Nia gave Daphne a suspicious look before finally standing up and entering Lucia's office.

After she entered the office, Nia saw the cup of chocolate that Lucia had pushed to the edge of the table, and was about to drop. The chocolate was cold by now, and there was no more heat.

Nia stared at the cup. Her heart skipped a beat for no reason. She could only hardened herself and ask Lucia, "Lucia, is there anything you want me to do?"

"Nia, don't you know I hate chocolate?" Lucia was less tactful when speaking to Nia, especially when she made a mistake.

As soon as Nia heard this, she knew that Daphne had told her this. She was very regretful now. At that time, she really didn't do it on purpose. She just thought Daphne was annoying and made fun of her. "Well, I know." She thought a lot, but on the surface, Nia just answered lightly.

"You've been my assistant for more than a year. Daphne has just come. There are some things you need to tell her how to do, instead of deliberately misleading her, you know?" Lucia's words were hidden with somethings, and every sentence was warning Nia.

In fact, Lucia didn't dislike Nia, but appreciated her ability to do things. However, the workplace rules were too cruel, and some small things can often reveal big problems. If Nia really misled Daphne on purpose, it was because of her ulterior motives, so she was so strict to Nia.

"Lucia, this matter is indeed my negligence. Last time Daphne asked me what to drink to relieve anxiety and feel good. I just told her casually, but I didn't expect her..." Nia innocently pushed the fault on Daphne.

Lucia stared at Nia with scrutiny for a while. With the principle of using people without suspicion, she decided to believe Nia's words. However, she added,

"Nia, Daphne has been making chocolate for me. You can't be ignorant. Although you explained that you didn't intentionally mislead her, as a senior, you should also give her correct guidance, so that you two can work together well, right?"

"Yeah, I'll remember it." Nia admitted "sincerely".

"Okay, I'm not going to talk about this again. Get the chocolate out," said Lucia.

Nia gritted her teeth secretly, and respectfully stepped forward and took out the cup. She just walked out of the office door, and she couldn't help shaking her whole body, not out of fear, but out of anger. Daphne! She really underestimated her. First she invited Eduard, and now she complained in front of Lucia, okay! If that was the case, don't blame her for being ruthless!

Nia's long-standing dissatisfaction and resentment against Daphne in her heart had now implicated Lucia, because Lucia will only defend her!

Returning to her assistant seat angrily, Nia glared at Daphne before smashing the cup on her desk. She said sarcastically,

"Daphne, well done. You first asked Eduard to teach me a lesson, and now you are suing me in front of Lucia. You really rely on people behind your back to do whatever you want, right?!"

Daphne was scolded innocently. After listening to Nia's words, she realized that Lucia really asked her about the chocolate. Daphne certainly wouldn't blame Lucia, because she was doing it for her own good, but Nia said it too much!
