Chapter 643 Repeating the same old trick
Nia lowered her head shyly and murmured,
"But... Thanks..."
Arthur smiled and said nothing more.
The hall was warm, but it was chilly outside. It was getting closer to eleven o'clock, and the guests began to say goodbye to Spencer.
Spencer was the busiest person at this time, so he couldn't care less about the others.
Just after eleven o'clock, Lucia was escorted away by the there siblings of Brown family. She wouldn't have even said to Spencer if she hadn't cared about his dignity. It was not expectant that Spencer pretended to be polite, thanked them for taking care of Lucia and let them go.
As they left the hall, Lucia glanced in Arthur's direction. As she expected, their eyes met again, and Lucia's heart was warmed.
The happiest thing was to be able to see him who was looking into her eyes with just a casual glance.
The feeling was really good. Lucia's eyes were as warm as the softest sunshine in spring, and she left the hall with a slight smile.
In the car, Lucia put the sleeping baby into the crib and smiled,
"Nia is going to be in trouble tonight."
"What do you mean?"
Lucia suddenly mentioned Nia, and Helena was curious.
"Spencer has always paid attention to maintaining the illusion of harmony on the stage," Lucia explained to Helena. "It's so easy for me to go home first. There must be something important he needs to do alone later."
"I see," murmured Helena. "I wondered why he agreed so easily."
"What goes around comes around. I tried to talk Nia out of it earlier, but she wouldn't listen," Reynolds said with a sneer.
"If human can be simple, how nice..." looking at the mist on the window, Lucia could not help but sigh.
The car sped forward, and Lucia's sigh drifted into the wind.
When it was close to midnight, even some of the rich ladies and gentlemen who liked to play around began to leave. Spencer still maintained a polite attitude and sent off the guests one by one. Although many accidents happened, the christening and the dinner were very successful.
The guests all enjoyed themselves, and he did.
Finally, the last guest also left. Spencer looked around the hall and confirmed that Arthur and Nia had left about 40 minutes ago. He left the hotel after handing the rest to his staff. Although he had drunk a lot of wine and his face was red from it, he still drove his car to the east of the city.
That direction was Nia's home.
More than 40 minutes ago, Arthur and Nia left the party together. Instead of saying goodbye to Spencer, they left quietly.
Down in the hotel lobby, Nia was about to make a call for her men to pick her up when Arthur said,
"I'll take you back."
Nia's heart skipped a few beats before she said shyly, "Mr. Davies, don't bother. You and I are going in different directions. I'll just have my assistant pick me up."
"It's okay." Arthur was always concise, and the decision will not be changed. After saying that, he threw the car key to a doorman, waiting for him to drive the car over.
A man's overbearing behavior sometimes really can make a woman be tempted, especially this kind of consideration after being overbearing.
Nia hadn't had much to drink, but her cheeks were still a little red in the cold wind.
After the car was pulled over, Arthur went down the steps to open the door for Nia and turned around to look at her.
Nia looked at Arthur standing next to the limo. He was looking so handsome, and there was a real feeling of being taken care of.
With a slight smile, Nia got in the car and accepted Arthur's kindness.
Nia's house wasn't near the hotel, and it was late at night, so Arthur didn't drive very fast. It took nearly half an hour for the car to reach Nia's luxurious apartment.
After getting out of the car and saying a few simple good-byes, Arthur got in the car and left. Nia looked in the direction he left, put her hand on her chest, and blushed as she muttered, "No wonder Lucia loved him so much. This man is so charming..."
However, the cold wind soon woke Nia up. Arthur was definitely not someone she could dream about. It would be nice to have a crush on him once in a while.
Turning around and heading upstairs, Nia couldn't help but curl her lips when she thought about how Arthur defended herself tonight, even though she warned herself not to overthink it.
Nia, who had just come home, finished the shower and was about to contact Jacob in her study. However, she was startled by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
She subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost one o'clock in the morning. Who came to visit her?
This suspicion only lasted a few seconds, and Nia immediately thought of a person...
Trying to do it again?
Nia's gaze gradually turned cold. Amidst the incessant ringing of the doorbell, she resolutely turned around and walked into the study. After confirming that all the surveillance cameras in the apartment were normal, she was like a strongman who cut off all means of retreat, and summon up the courage to open the door.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
As soon as the door was opened, Spencer, who was reeking of alcohol, rushed in. Nia had been on guard for a long time, so she quickly turned around and dodged him.
Spencer staggered a few steps, stood still, and then turned around with a slight smile on his face as he asked Nia, "Why is it so slow to open the door?"
"What are you doing here again?" Nia closed the door behind her, crossed her arms, and stared coldly at Spencer.
Spencer sneered, walked to the sofa, sat down, and ordered Nia, "Go get me a glass of water."
There was a time when Spencer came here drunk, and Nia would have scrambled for him by his word or his command, but now it was different!
"Want some water?" Nia sneered sarcastically. "There's plenty in the bathroom."
After hearing Nia's words, Spencer laughed instead of being angry. He even laughed out loud. After the laughter stopped, he stretched his arms and legs on the back of the sofa and acted like he was the host. He crossed his legs and said to Nia,
"Wasn't the warning I gave you last time enough? Not only did you not listen to me, but you also wanted to gang up with Arthur to deal with me. Nia, have you ever thought about what kind of person you are?" "Spencer, aren't you overthinking it? The Branch of Davonnis is a powerful force. Who wouldn't want to work with them? I certainly hope so. That's what business is all about. Don't take it personally. You're not that important."
Nia continued to ridicule without reserve.
