Chapter 673 Smooth SigningCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

While Nia and Kevin were looking forward to Jacob's instructions, when they called, the number turned out to be empty, and Jacob had apparently dropped the number.

"What to do..." Nia was distraught.

Kevin was silent for a while and looked up at Nia and said, "Now, it's up to you to make the decision."

"How am I supposed to decide?" Nia panicked. "What if I don't think what Jacob thinks..."

"Calm down," Kevin comforted Nia when he saw that she had no idea what to do.

"Wasn't Mr. Taylor's previous attitude to take things as they come? I don't think the situation will change with Lucia. If there is a conspiracy, Arthur can do it alone, and he can sign the contract with Lucia first, and then with us. Why do we have to sign the contract today? What will they do if we go back on our word? Arthur and Lucia would not be so foolish."

"You mean..." Nia calmed down a little after listening to Kevin's words. She murmured, "Lucia wanted me to know that she was involved in this project. Do we really need to bury the hatchet?" "It's not like that. She just sees the value in you," Kevin reminded Nia.

"It's true..." Nia was convinced. "Just like Arthur. How could he be friends with me? Didn't he see me as a thorn in Spencer's side?"

"That's the idea." Kevin nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go reply to them!" Nia said seriously.

Kevin accompanied Nia back to the conference room together.

"Are you sure?" Lucia called out to Nia as soon as she caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye.

Nia took a deep breath, looked up at Lucia, and said, "Mr. Davies was kind enough to invite me, so I can't deny him the honor. Stable Growth is taking a stake in this project as usual."

Who cared! Nia cheered herself up in her heart, but she neglected to notice that Arthur and Lucia's lips curled up slightly when they heard her reply.

Even if they had already broken up for more than a year, they stood together, having tacit understanding.

Nia had given the answer, so there was no need for any more nonsense. The signing ceremony will begin immediately. Before signing, Nia will go over the contract again and again in case there were any gaps in the contract. As an assistant before, she had the ability to review documents for her boss in the early years, but even so, she still let Kevin read the contract after finding no loopholes. Seeing him nod his head, she signed her name solemnly.

In contrast to Nia's caution, Arthur and Lucia were able to sign the contract very quickly. Soon, the contract was signed and the three of them became partners.

After shaking hands with each other, Lucia smiled and said, "We will be partners from now on, but we must work together."

Nia pursed her lips and said nothing. Her wariness of Lucia could not be let down.

"Ms. Davidson," Lucia continued, raising her eyebrows. "You have to be at the 10 a. m. press conference tomorrow."

"What press conference?" Nia had never heard the news.

"Do you think I have the patience to let Spencer find out about our partnership on his own?" Lucia smiled and asked Nia.

Nia's eyes widened and she turned to Arthur for confirmation.

Arthur noticed Nia's gaze, and said, "I wonder if you're available tomorrow?"

In groups of three, each person had a different level of trust in others. Nia was now inclined to trust Arthur, and with Lucia present, she will listen to him more. This was a psychological effect. "Yes," Nia could only reply.

"The project will be launched after Christmas. We are only signing the contract now. After that, the person in charge of the project will negotiate with you," Arthur explained patiently.

"Okay, anything you need, just let me know." Nia knew Arthur sided with Lucia, so she didn't question him.

"OK, the contract has been signed, then I have to go." The first person to leave, unexpectedly was Lucia who handed the contract to her men and turned away.

Nia hesitated for a moment, but Lucia was already out the door, and she quickly said to Arthur, "Mr. Davies, I have to go."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," Arthur said gently, then watched as Nia trotted off after Lucia.

It was worth it to fish Jacob out with a project.

Arthur looked down at the signature on the contract, with a light flashing in his eyes.

"Ms. Webb, please wait!" Nia and Kevin chased after her and called out to Lucia as she was about to close the elevator door.

Lucia looked impatient, but pressed the button.

Nia and Kevin sped up a few steps into the elevator and stood in tight quarters with Lucia and her four men.

After several seconds of awkwardness and watching the number of floors on the elevator decrease, Nia finally lost her composure and spoke up,

"Have you really made up your mind to break up with Spencer?"

Lucia was looking straight ahead, and when she heard Nia speak, she turned to look at her, sneered, and said,

"My relationship with you is not good enough to be repeated."

Nia furrowed her brows and suddenly realized that she would only be nice to herself in front of Arthur, which proved that her hostility toward herself had never diminished. Nia was relieved to realize that. If Lucia suddenly became good to herself, she will feel uncomfortable.

"You weren't so hard on me in front of Arthur." said Nia purposely, with a chuckle. She said Arthur's name affectionately.

Sure enough, the next second she saw Lucia's eyes become sharp.

"Arthur?" Lucia's eyes darkened, and she said with a strange look on her face, "I think he takes good care of you..." Despite Lucia's scorn, the jealousy in her words was palpable. Nia laughed in her heart, but she looked innocent, "Do you feel the same way?"

It turned out that there was a day when Lucia was jealous of her, and Nia's vanity was more satisfied than ever.

"I warn you," Lucia said. Her eyes were cold. "He is mine!"

Nia, of course, couldn't possibly have real feelings for Arthur, but to show her place, she chuckled and wisely chose to remain silent at this time. As if she knew what she was doing, she also saw Lucia's eyes widen in anger.
