Spencer, of course, sensed Lucia's anger, but with Esmae present, he pulled her even tighter with his arms. As Esmae began to move forward, Spencer whispered into Lucia's ear, "Lucia, behave yourself. Don't forget what I did for Teddy and what you promised Ms. Wilson."
Lucia glared at Spencer, and now that he had pushed her too far, she gritted her teeth,
"Spencer, you're the one who needs to behave yourself. If you don't let go, I promise you, the next minute you'll be on the ground and everyone in Athegate will laugh at you!"
Spencer looked at Lucia's face. Although he couldn't see her eyes, he didn't miss the action of Lucia biting her lip to suppress her temper. After some time, Spencer thought that the reporters from Prospect Focus Magazine should have already taken the photos. He let go of his arms around her waist, but said,
"Okay, I won't hug you, but can we at least walk together?"
Lucia scoffed. Spencer let go of her the next second, and Lucia's disgust subsided.
As soon as Spencer let go, Lucia strode forward to catch up with Esmae, and Spencer had no choice but to follow. owns this text.
Esmae knew that Spencer and Lucia were behind, and there must have been a little argument between them, but she pretended not to know, and soon walked to the line of cars waiting outside.
Spencer's driver opened the door for Esmae, but when she got in the car, Lucia didn't want to follow. Instead, she stood by the car and said,
"Esmae, can you go to rest first? I want to go back to the company immediately."
"Lucia, Ms. Wilson just got off the plane. Shouldn't you accompany her back to the hotel to rest first?" Spencer stopped Lucia as soon as he heard that she was going to act alone. Lucia didn't say anything but looked at Esmae.
Spencer thought that Esmae would help him stop Lucia, but instead she said, "Go. You've been gone so long. There must be a lot of important things for you to do back at the company. Just come to the hotel with me when you're done."
"Ms. Wilson..." Spencer lost his mind and looked at Esmae unwillingly. It was hard for him to get out of the house if he wanted to entertain Esmae. Who knew if Lucia would run straight to Arthur after she acted alone?
"Go ahead," Esmae said to Lucia, ignoring Spencer's protest.
Lucia nodded, didn't even look at Spencer, turned around, walked to the nearest cab, got in it, and left.
Watching Lucia leave in a car, Spencer turned to Esmae and complained, "Ms. Wilson, why did you let Lucia leave? What if she runs to Arthur?"
Esmae sneered, "Lucia is your fiancee, not your exclusive domain. You can't control her movements. Besides, she wants to meet someone. It's useless to control her. It's better to be generous and let her go." Spencer was in a hurry, but when he heard Esmae's words, he got in the car and sat across from her. When the car door closed, he asked her,
"Ms. Wilson, has Lucia really given up?"
Spencer was smart enough to know that Esmae hated Arthur more than he did, and if Lucia did go to Arthur, she'd react a lot more violently than he did. Now she was taking it in stride, and he must be pretty sure he'd got Lucia under control.
"What's she gonna do about it?" Esmae closed her eyes and leaned against the backrest as the car began to move forward slowly,
"Your kindness to Teddy may not be enough to bind her heart. She needs other means to intimidate her, but my kindness to her can control all her actions. However, this control is limited. Whether she will be willing to stay by your side in the future depends on your performance."
Spencer was completely relieved to hear Esmae's words. Lucia wouldn't do anything rash. After thinking it through, Spencer smiled,
"Ms. Wilson, you really thought this through."
Hearing Spencer's words, Esmae opened her eyes and gave Spencer a cold look,
"I know you like to play tricks to get what you want, but there are no shortcuts in relationships. You have to give your heart and soul to get Lucia's favor. Don't try to kidnap her with Teddy. It will only make her feel even more disgusted."
As soon as Spencer heard this, he knew that Esmae had heard his conversation with Lucia. He nodded his head in acceptance and promised that he would be true to her.
Esmae listened to Spencer for a while. He didn't know if she believed him or not, but soon she closed her eyes again. Spencer immediately shut his mouth and left her alone.
Lucia's cab drove all the way downtown to the Webbex Group, and Spencer didn't have to worry about her going to Arthur because Lucia had no idea what kind of feeling she was going to have when facing Arthur.
Lucia was the executioner to cut off the feelings. How dared she face Arthur who was hurt by her? Moreover, she had been lying, which was really difficult and painful.
An hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the Webbex Group building. Lucia got out of the car, took off her sunglasses and looked at the familiar building. Today, the Webbex Group and her son were Lucia's only spiritual support.
Even behind bars, Lucia would never abandon Webbex Group. It was her father's work, and she wouldn't let it go wrong, no matter how hard she tried.
When Lucia appeared in the lobby, some employees even rubbed their eyes exaggeratedly. They couldn't believe that the CEO, who had disappeared for almost a month, had returned without any warning. Lucia walked briskly all the way to the office. Just as she was taking the elevator, the news of her return spread throughout the Webbex Group. All the employees were surprised and started discussing it.
It was a good thing that Lucia had returned to the company as the president of the Group. However, she still had a triangular relationship with Arthur and Spencer. It was hard for them to treat her with pure respect.
"The CEO comes back for the engagement party, doesn't he?"
"Yes, she has disappeared for almost a month. She doesn't even care about the company's affairs. As soon as she comes back, she abandons her old love and gets engaged to her new love." "I couldn't appreciate such a character."
"I do not think the president is a fickle woman. There must be some misunderstanding..."
"What could possibly go wrong? Tomorrow is her and Spencer's engagement party. We'll see about that."
