"Good, then come with me and explain to Nia not to use her feelings anymore." Thinking that Reynolds would change his mind, Lucia continued to persuade him, but the next second, Reynolds refused flatly. "I didn't say I am leaving," said Reynolds.

Lucia looked at Reynolds helplessly, feeling confused. What else did he want to do?

"You don't have to worry about why I'm here. I just promise you I won't mess with Webbex again," Reynolds said lightly.

"Reynolds, go home. Your nature is free. You like to lecture and impart knowledge. Why are you stuck in this company?" Lucia said helplessly.

"I told you, don't worry about it," Reynolds had completely stopped looking Lucia in the eye. He lowered his eyes and said, "Also, I advise you not to tell Nia about the situation. She expects too much from me. If you explain it, it will only make it harder for her to accept it."

Lucia knew it, of course, but she didn't want to see Nia get bogged down, and the longer it went on, the more she would be stuck with Reynolds.

"What are you gonna do? Lie to her all the time?"

"You can't wake her up if she wants to, or you could try," Reynolds said coolly.

"Reynolds, what the hell are you talking about?" Lucia didn't believe that Reynolds had no remorse.

But he did and replied, "Nia is still useful to me right now. Since I'm not leaving, I need to know what you do every day. If you don't like it, you can just fire Nia. But first, after you fire her, I'll tell her the truth." Lucia was momentarily speechless. She didn't expect Reynolds to go his own way after all she had said.

"Go home. I'll do something later. You just watch." Reynolds was tired, and his eyes looked a little fatigue.

Monty, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Reynolds worriedly. He rarely saw such an expression on his face. Seeing Lucia still staring at him, he said,

"Lucia, you'd better go back first. You can handle the case of the factory however you like. We won't have any more action here."

"That's not what I want," Lucia said through clenched teeth.

Monty winked at Lucia behind Reynolds' back. Lucia took the hint, looked into Reynolds' cold eyes, and bit her lip.

"Well, I'm going back, Reynolds. I want you to think about what I said today."

With that, Lucia picked up her bag and gave Reynolds a long glance before leaving. Listening to the sound of her high heels fade away until they couldn't hear her, Reynolds slowly sat back down on the sofa and stared blankly at the ground.

Monty looked at the obvious palm print on Reynolds' face and sighed helplessly. He sat down and said softly, "Reynolds, what she said makes sense. There are some things you really can't force."

Even Monty thought Reynolds' efforts were futile. It was his decision to love her, but whether that love was reciprocated or not was beyond anyone's control.

"I don't want to..." Reynolds's deep voice rang out a long time later. "I'm no worse than Arthur or Spencer. Why can't I be on Lucia's list?"

Monty had nothing to say, and no one could solve the mystery.

"No matter what, I'm not going to let Spencer go, so I have to stay," Reynolds said after Lucia had left.

"Spencer is a real threat, and it's ridiculous that she's with him," Monty agreed.

"Do you think I'm going to tell Nia the truth?" Actually, Reynolds was listening to Lucia's words, but he was just too angry to compromise.

"Come on, don't be her worst enemy," said Monty.

Reynolds nodded and looked out the French window at the vast blue sky, with his mind already following Lucia.

Coming out of Luxwell Investment, Lucia gasped. owns this text.

The air seemed to be getting a little gloomy, and she looked up at the blue sky. All she can think about was what was going to happen to Nia. Should she tell her? But how would Nia feel if she knew that Reynolds' true love was for her, and that he was only approaching her to get some information from her?

Lucia was not a saint, and will not demand others to be like that.

"She's going to hate me." Lucia thought with a bitter smile.

Half an hour later, when Lucia returned to the office, she saw Kane approaching her anxiously in the lobby,

"Lucia, how's it going? Have you seen Reynolds?"

"Yes..." Lucia replied listlessly, then went upstairs with Kane and told him what had happened at Luxwell Investment. Kane was stunned.

"Is he so radical that he's willing to attack Webbex just to get you back to USA?"

"Because he knows how important the Group is to me. If Webbex disappears, I'm afraid I won't have any reason to stay in the country," Lucia thought with a wry smile.

As she spoke, the elevator arrived at the floor where her office was, and Kane's question of "what about Nia" stopped abruptly because Nia was standing not far from the elevator entrance.

When she saw Nia, Lucia's mood became even more complicated. She motioned for Kane to follow her, and as she passed Nia, she only nodded slightly and said nothing.

When Lucia and Kane walked into the office, Nia looked hesitantly in the direction of the door. Just now, she clearly heard what Kane said. What did he mean? What did he tell Lucia about her? Nia was upset.

Daphne happened to be downstairs sorting through some papers, so Nia snuck up to the office door and noticed that it was tightly shut. Nia broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead. After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and gently pushed the door open with a small crack, which was small, but the conversation between Lucia and Kane could be heard.

"I can't tell her the truth. Reynolds is right. She'll be devastated and she'll hate me," said Lucia.

"But it's not good to keep her around. She's not that simple," said Kane.

"I know... but I can't bear that," Lucia said awkwardly.

"I'll find a way to get her out of your life so Reynolds has nothing to say," Kane said after a while.

"That's the way it has to be," Lucia said with a sigh. "Let's hold a press conference this afternoon and say we've reached a settlement with Luxwell, that the evaluation error was purely a mistake, and we will apologize to the public."
