Chapter 674 Reinvigorate owns this text.
When the elevator arrived on the first floor, there was a loud ding sound and Lucia was about to say something. Nia smiled and said to her,
"Ms. Webb, see you tomorrow." Then she proudly led Kevin out of the elevator and left.
After taking a few steps, Nia asked Kevin, "Is she still staring at me?"
Kevin turned around slightly and replied, "She is still glaring at you. Your words just now made her very angry, but Arthur is devoted to Lucia. Is it okay for you to provoke Lucia so much?"
"She's so focused on getting Arthur back that she can't wait to be nice to him. Why would she tell on me?" Nia said nonchalantly,
"I'll do it again and again if I have to!"
To avenge her past favoritism towards Daphne, Reynolds, for the harm she'd done to herself!
Nia was thinking viciously.
"Judging from her attitude, she has indeed made up her mind to attack Spencer. You have to be more careful in the future. They will only use you as a gun, not necessarily protecting you sincerely." Kevin reminded Nia.
"No," Nia replied as she bent over to get into the car, "You said it yourself. As long as I'm useful, they'll have to treat me with respect!"
Nia's vanity swelled. The thought that two people who were once out of her reach would one day be on an equal footing with her didn't bother her at all.
Kevin paused, not saying anything, but thinking that he must contact Jacob to tell him as soon as possible.
The next day, reporters from all the financial media arrived at the Branch of Davonnis' conference center as scheduled. They were busy looking for seats, thinking that this was just an ordinary press conference. It was hard to imagine how shocked I'll be later.
The moderator maintained order on the rostrum and the meeting began after the reporters had taken their seats.
On the side stage, Arthur was dressed in a smart suit. When he was about to go on stage, he didn't forget to say to Lucia and Nia, "We'll go on stage when we introduce you. We have a big surprise for Spencer."
"Of course." Lucia nodded, and Nia smiled meekly.
The presenter mentioned Arthur's name. As soon as Arthur went on stage, Nia said in a strange tone, "Arthur is so careful."
When Lucia heard that and looked away from Arthur at Nia, she said coldly,
"Are you trying to get under my skin?"
"Ms. Webb, how dare I?" Nia said with an innocent smile on her face, "I'm just stating the fact, aren't I?"
"His thoughtfulness is my own, and you are a mere by-product," said Lucia with a cold stare.
"Really?" Nia put on a show, looked at Arthur's direction, and said in an undeniable whisper.
Lucia stopped talking, but she subconsciously clenched her fists and caught a glimpse of her, which made Nia even more proud.
What she didn't know was that Lucia didn't leave Davonnis Corp after she left the elevator yesterday, but instead returned to Arthur's office.
"Nia's gone?" Arthur, who had been waiting for Lucia, asked as he handed her a warm cup of coffee and ushered her to the sofa.
Lucia took the coffee and stared at Arthur without saying a word. This was something she hadn't done for a long time. She really made Arthur blush.
"Is there something on my face?" Arthur couldn't resist asking.
Lucia moved her lips but said nothing, and watched the floor.
"Lucia..." Arthur called her again out of curiosity.
Originally, Lucia and Arthur had agreed to discuss some matters, but now she was no longer in the mood. Although she knew that Nia was deliberately using him to provoke her, Lucia was still unhappy! "You've been good to Nia." Finally, Lucia spoke under Arthur's gaze, but in a strange way.
"Have I been good to her?" It was a preposterous sentence for Arthur.
Lucia pouted and repeated what Nia had just said to her in the elevator. After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Arthur, nor did she wait for his reply. She looked away. Her brows unconsciously and slightly wrinkled. She seemed to have a kind of inexplicable and wronged feeling.
Arthur froze for a moment, then quickly realized what had happened.
The handsome features that should have been imperious softened into happiness.
She was jealous.
He reached out and touched Lucia's finger on the glass. It was just the right amount of flirtation. Arthur smiled gently and said,
"Lucia, I haven't changed."
Lucia looked up and into Arthur's tender eyes. After a few seconds of staring at each other, she was the first to surrender. She lowered her eyes and murmured,
"I didn't say anything..."
Arthur smiled even more when he heard this, but he also said,
"Nia has always had low self-esteem. Although she seems to have a lot of doubts about working together, she can't resist the satisfaction that comes from this, especially for you. She will definitely do her best to get back the so-called grievances that she suffered in the past. Once she does that, she will lose her insight into things. That's not a bad thing."
When it came to business, Lucia was willing to look back at Arthur, muttering to herself that she was a cheapskate and saying,
"It looks like she's goading me, but I'm goading her, right?"
"Just pretend she's bullshiting in order to fish Jacob out," Arthur said with a serious expression.
Lucia couldn't help laughing. Arthur could use that word!
Eye contact, they all knew each other.
Therefore, now that Nia mentioned Arthur's gentleness again, Lucia already had enough psychological preparation and countermeasures. The more anxious Nia was, the less vigilant Nia would be. Thinking of this, Lucia smiled in the direction that Nia couldn't see.
At that moment, Arthur on the podium announced the development plan. When the Webbex Group and Stable Growth Investment were mentioned and the names of Lucia and Nia were read out, there was silence, like the calm before the storm, and then, when the crowd reacted, the discussion exploded like thunder.
"Did I just hear correctly that Davies mentioned Webbex Group and Stable Growth Investment?!"
"No! I heard it too!"
"No way! How can the three of them work together!"
