Arthur looked down at Lola. His eyes were as deep as the ocean, as if he was examining her. "Arthur?" Sensing something was amiss, Lola winked uncomfortably and called out to Arthur.
After a long silence, Arthur said "I'm sorry" in a low voice and started walking towards Lucia. Yes, he was walking towards Lucia.
Lola bit her lip and chased after him.
It was Reynolds who first spotted Arthur, and as he approached, Reynolds subconsciously blocked Lucia behind him, but how could he block Arthur's approach?
Sensing Reynolds' unnatural movements, Lucia glanced slightly sideways in his direction, and the next moment she saw Arthur.
Arthur was the one Lucia was careful about in her heart. Although just glancing, the moment she saw him, Lucia felt that he changed.
When he first came tonight, Arthur was silent and melancholy, and even though he looked handsome on the outside, Lucia knew that his heart was aching. But now, the light in Arthur's eyes was absolutely positive and determined.
Arthur?
Lucia quietly wondered.
"Lucia, we're ready to go back," Arthur said as he approached Reynolds, leaning slightly to Lucia. Otis and the others leaned in.
For a moment, a group of complicated people, all came to Lucia.
"Well, Good-bye," said Lucia in a low voice, as she stepped out from behind Reynolds with her eyes slightly lowered.
"Take care of yourself," Arthur said quickly, catching a glimpse of Spencer coming this way.
"Er... OK." Lucia felt that something was different about Arthur, but she couldn't prove it, so she hesitated to respond to his concern.
"Otis, let's go back first." Arthur was the first one to leave the weird circle when Spencer rushed over. Lola quickly chased after him. Otis and the rest left with Arthur after saying goodbye to Lucia. At that moment, Spencer had just arrived, but he had only time to see Arthur and his men off.
"Why didn't he greet and leave?" Spencer sneered.
Lucia lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"Lucia, we're leaving too. Take good care of yourself. Don't forget that you're in a special situation." Reynolds couldn't be bothered to face Spencer, so he said a gentle goodbye to Lucia, who smiled and nodded. Then he led Monty to the entrance.
As he walked, Monty turned to make a phone call gesture to Lucia and gave a big smile to Spencer who was pale.
Spencer was furious.
"What were you talking about?!" Spencer asked Lucia in a tough, forceful tone.
Lucia raised an eyebrow and looked askance at Spencer. "Is this about you?" She said coldly
"You!" Spencer choked at Lucia's indifference.
"What?" Lucia said with a cold expression on her face. She glanced at Nia next to her and said, "I'm going back now. You guys can handle the rest."
Lucia turned and left without looking back.
Spencer subconsciously took a step forward and finally stopped. There was indeed no one around now. There were only a few attendants cleaning up the venue, but she, Lucia! She was embarrassing himself! Spencer stood where he was. He was furious. He had thought that she would feel sad and uncomfortable if he ignored her, but he did not expect her to feel like a fish in water. It was as if all of this had just happened to suit her heart! Spencer can't take it!
While Spencer was fuming, a soft, muffled voice rang out beside him,
"Mr. Davies, are you and Ms. Webb... not on good terms?"
After observing for the past few days, Nia had already determined that there must be some grudges between Spencer and Lucia. She was only asking now to show her presence and pretend to be gentle. Spencer glanced at Nia and saw the gentleness between her eyes. It was rare that he didn't scold her for being nosy. Instead, he replied in a bitter tone,
"My relationship with her is too complicated to explain."
"Actually, I know that you were angry with Ms. Webb today. The necklace on my neck was meant for her, wasn't it?" Nia reached out to touch the crystal necklace on her neck and said. Spencer raised an eyebrow. She wasn't stupid.
"The kindness you showed me today was meant for Ms. Webb. She... has missed so much and doesn't know how to appreciate it," Nia said regretfully.
Spencer smiled, felt the urge to tease Nia, and said, "If only Lucia could read my mind like you
do."
Nia frowned and said,Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Mr. Davies, don't say that. I may have complaints on Ms. Webb because of Reynolds, but I've known her for more than two years. She's gentle. She's polite. She's the perfect woman. And I'm sure she'll understand, but...may be emotionally unstable right now. After all, you've been so good to her."
Spencer smiled. Although he knew that Nia was ambitious and didn't necessarily mean what she said right now, he couldn't deny that her words were kind.
"All right, enough of this unpleasantness. The party's over. Where's your home? I'll take you home," Spencer said.
"Are you going to take me home?" Nia blushed, feeling flattered again.
"You can't go home by yourself. It's not convenient for you," Spencer said softly.
Nia was overjoyed. She had been waiting for Spencer to say that. She was wearing expensive jewelry now, and she didn't dare to go back on her own. As she thought about this, Nia stammered again, "I'll give you your necklace and dress back when I get home."
"No, you can keep it," Spencer said graciously, raising his hand to indicate that Nia was holding onto him.
Nia's blush deepened as she shyly took Spencer's arm and left with him, while Lucia, the hostess, was escorted home by the driver and Spencer's men.
On the way back, Otis hadn't noticed Arthur's change at first. He happened to see a smile on his lips, and Arthur had been looking out the window. "Arthur, you seem in a good mood?"
"Not bad," said Arthur, looking back at Otis with a soft look in his eyes. "I saw her tonight, after all."
