Chapter 752 Uninvited Guest

"Mr. Wood, I don't know you very well. Since you're here to visit me on behalf of Ms. Davidson, now that the mission is complete, there's nothing more to say." Lucia did not hide her estrangement from him, and insisted on showing it.

She had always felt that he looked at her in a strange way, but for a moment she didn't know what it was.

Instead of getting angry, Jacob laughed. He walked over to the couch and sat down, not embarrassed at all, and asking Lucia.

"Ms. Webb, you seem to have misunderstood me."

"I didn't ask you to sit down," said Lucia, with a faint smile on her lips but no smile but a distant look in her eyes.

"So it shouldn't be a misunderstanding."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Lucia's words made Jacob laugh. He leaned back on the couch as if he were at home.

"Ms. Webb, I've told you before that you're my goddess. It's only human to pay more attention to you. Isn't it normal to want to get close to someone you admire?"

Staring at his carefree movements, Lucia was displeased, and her eyebrows rose at his words.

Close? She didn't expect him to be so blunt, but...

"Does Nia know what you're thinking?"

Jacob laughed again and quickly explained,

"Nia and I are just friends. Besides, I know that you and Davies are close, so I appreciate that. I won't cause you any trouble."

"What you're doing right now is really bothering me." Lucia had always been gentle and polite, but for some reason, she was impatient with him. She couldn't wait to tell him that she hated him. Jacob's smile didn't go away when he heard Lucia say that. Instead, he smiled wildly.

Lucia didn't flinch, but looked back at him, as if there was some sort of magical game going on between the two of them.

Unbeknownst to Lucia, he now saw through her the glory of the past.

Once, he stood here overlooking the whole Athegate, never thought that one day he will be so miserable by Lucia.

It was impossible to guess what he was thinking, but Lucia looked at him and felt a strange familiarity, like someone she knew.

Who was it?

The more Lucia thought about it, the more she furrowed her brows. She was a little dazed. Jacob was the first to react. When he saw Lucia looking at him critically, he quickly restrained his thoughts and thought that it was bad.

"Ms. Webb, if you look at me engrossed, I might misunderstand."

His joke didn't sound funny at all.

Lucia's brow unfurled, her mind was instantly hidden. She walked from the bookcase to the couch, but instead of sitting down, she said to him,

"Mr. Wood, you should go back."

"Ms. Webb, is the eviction order too direct?" said Jacob. However, he still stood up cooperatively. As he stood up, his gaze landed directly on Lucia's face. As the angle changed, he recklessly admired the stunning impact that her exquisite face brought to him.

Sure enough, the woman was beautiful enough to be forgiven for all her faults.

Jacob thought to himself that since they were not far away, he could smell the faint fragrance of Lucia, which seemed to be mixed with the faint scent of milk.

Not knowing what it would be like to hold her in his arms and ravage her, Jacob couldn't help but think about the more lewd things.

"Don't," said Lucia, squinting dangerously at him,

"Look at me!"

Although Jacob had a harmless smile on his face, the way he stared at her was uncomfortably creepy, like being stared at by a peeping tom.

Jacob's smile faltered, and he smiled wryly after he reacted.

"Ms. Webb, am I that annoying to you?"

At this point, Jacob wasn't happy because she didn't try to hide her dislike for him, just like she did with him in the past!

"You and Ms. Davidson are close, and we should have avoided each other. Next time, please come with Ms. Davidson. If you're alone again, I won't see you again," Lucia said coldly.

"I'm sorry I was so rude today," said Jacob, knowing better than to really piss Lucia off.

"Please go back," Lucia said to him, glancing at the door.

"Ms. Webb, take care of yourself. I'll see you later." he smiled. Without looking at Lucia's reaction, he turned around and walked towards the door. However, just a few steps later, the door of the office opened by itself. At first, he thought that it was the assistant who opened the door, until he met Arthur's extremely handsome face, and the cold light in his eyes when he saw him.

"Hello, Mr. Davies," Jacob said to Arthur, hiding his fear.

Arthur did not immediately respond. He glanced at him and then at Lucia, who was standing behind him. Lucia's expression was unnatural. It seemed that their conversation had not been "pleasant".

"Where is Ms. Davidson?" Arthur asked.

"She's in a meeting, and she asked me to come over and see if Ms. Webb has recovered," Jacob said with a smile, forcing himself to look Arthur in the eyes.

"Are you finished now?" Arthur continued, without anger.

"Yes," Jacob said.

"Go ahead." No sooner had Jacob finished speaking than Arthur sidled past him and walked in, not hiding his indifference towards him, straight to Lucia.

"Lucia, it's a little cold today. Why are you dressed so thinly?" Arthur stood between Lucia and Jacob, stroking her face and speaking softly.

"It's warm enough inside." Lucia smiled sweetly, not feeling cold.

Even without looking back, Jacob could guess how close Lucia and Arthur were. Lucia even spoke to Arthur in a sweet tone. With his back to them, Jacob furrowed her brow, with his eyes flashing obscure, dark light.

Holding Lucia's hand in his palm, Arthur saw that she was looking behind him. He did not turn around and said,

"Is there anything else, Mr. Wood?"

"Nothing, I'll see myself out," Jacob whispered, pushing open the door and walking out of the office.

Walking slowly down the corridor, Jacob's expression was gloomy. Even when the assistant asked him if he wanted her to walk him down the stairs, Jacob only glanced at her. The assistant could not understand why he did this.

"What's he doing here?" Arthur asked as he sat Lucia down in the office and put his arm around her.
