Chapter 676 Secretly playing tricks

As soon as Lucia left, Nia rolled her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved as she said to Arthur,

"Mr. Davies, does Ms. Webb still hate me? She didn't want me to go with her, or I wouldn't go."

Arthur smiled with disgust in his heart and said,

"No, Lucia has always been gentle. Since we said we would work together, we won't take it out on you. We need all three of us tonight."

"Her gentleness is only for you, but not for me..." Nia was so determined to make Lucia look bad in front of Arthur that she forgot how formidable Arthur was. She was only trying to humiliate herself by pretending to be wronged in front of him.

However, Arthur for the greater good did not break out. Otherwise, just because she dared to say a few words against Lucia, Arthur can let her live worse than death.

"You're overthinking it..." Arthur said nonchalantly, hiding the coldness in his eyes. When Nia heard him say that, she didn't dare to say more. She understood that it was enough.

In the afternoon, Lucia had been staying in her office. She had deliberately asked Arthur to arrange for a live broadcast of the press conference today. Spencer must be furious right now.

But, who would he go to first?

Lucia thought with a sneer.

In the evening, as the sun set, Arthur drove to pick up Nia, and after Nia had settled into the backseat, he deliberately called Lucia.

"Lucia, I've got Ms. Davidson. I'm coming to get you."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"What? No? Why?"

"Don't be mad. I'm on my way."

"No, I didn't..."

"Lucia..."

Arthur finally hung up and turned to Nia. "Lucia said she wants to go alone, so we'll go straight to the restaurant."

"Okay," Nia replied obediently, curling her lips as Arthur turned around to drive.

From what Arthur said, Lucia seemed to be angry that he had come to pick Nia up first. This was a once-in-a-century scene. In the past, she could only envy the deep relationship between them. She didn't expect Lucia to be petty. She used to seem generous only because there was no people to threaten her.

But it was different now!

Nia suddenly felt confident and looked out of the window at the building that was passing by, thinking triumphantly that now she was here!

When Arthur and Nia arrived at the restaurant, Lucia was already waiting in a private room. Seeing them enter, Lucia didn't say a word. Instead, she looked sullen.

Arthur first pulled out a chair for Nia as a gentleman, and then he sat down beside Lucia to comfort her in a low voice. Nia smiled as she watched the scene unfold, feeling very happy in her heart.

The Luning Restaurant was located on the top floor of Prima Buiding. Arthur knew how to create an atmosphere. The private room he booked was right next to the French windows. He only had to turn his head slightly to have a panoramic view of the bustling night scene of the entire city. Especially now, Nia was happier.

After some time, Arthur finally managed to coax Lucia. He turned to Nia, who had been sitting politely and quietly, and said apologetically,

"Ms. Davidson, I'm sorry. Lucia's not feeling well."

"I'm fine." Nia shook her head in an understanding manner. "It's important to take care of Ms. Webb." As soon as Nia finished speaking, she saw Lucia glaring at her when Arthur wasn't looking. Her smile became even more gentle.

Although it was for the celebration of the project, the relationship between the three of them was indeed complicated, so there was nothing else to talk about. It was only when the dishes were served that the silent atmosphere was broken.

Nia did not feel uncomfortable at all. The environment here was so elegant, and the fact that she could see Lucia's unhappy expression was a perfect relief for her.

After the dishes were served, Lucia began to eat, ignoring Arthur and Nia. Arthur and Nia had no choice but to chat. Although they were talking about the project, they seemed to have a good chat, while Lucia buried her head deeper.

"Spencer should have heard about it by now." Suddenly, Nia mentioned Spencer. After all, he was the most important factor in their collaboration.

"With the way he's been acting, he's probably doing something about it right now," Arthur said worriedly. "I think he's going to go after you first, Ms. Davidson."

"It's been a while since I've been targeted by him," Nia said nonchalantly, taking one look at Lucia before continuing,

"You don't have to worry about me."

Sure enough, Lucia raised her head and stared at her for a second. Nia smiled and raised her glass to her.

Lucia smiled, raised her head and poured the entire glass of wine into her mouth. Arthur realized it was too late to stop her.

"Why did you drink all the wine..." Arthur said worriedly, patting Lucia on the back as she choked.

Lucia coughed a few times and her face turned red, but she did not make a sound.

Arthur looked helpless.

"Ms. Webb, don't drink so much if you're not feeling well," Nia said with concern.

"Don't worry about it!" Lucia shouted, looking very impersonal.

"Lucia, why do you say that..." Arthur frowned a little.

"Hmph!" Lucia scoffed, turning willfully away from Arthur.

Lucia's performance made the atmosphere freezing, and Arthur could only smile helplessly at Nia and continue to comfort her.

Nia's goal had been achieved. She pretended to look out the window, taste the food, and enjoy it all.

The topic could not be continued anymore. When Lucia was not so angry anymore, the three of them ate in silence. They had thought that the silence would continue, but they did not expect the fourth person to break the deadlock.

"Lucia, you have a good day..." the door of the room was pushed open without warning. A figure was leaning on the door frame, gloomily.

Nia was facing the door, but Arthur and Lucia had to turn around to see who it was. However, they didn't have to look, because they couldn't be mistaken for Spencer!

Before Arthur and the others could react, Spencer walked into the private room. Behind him was the restaurant manager, who apologized to Arthur,

"Mr. Davies, I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him."

"It's fine." Arthur graciously waved his hand to let the manager go first, and then looked at Spencer who had uninvited himself and was already sitting next to Nia.
