Chapter 860 A Woman Trying to Be Smart
Nia frowned. The fear in her heart faded a lot, replaced by unwillingness. What did he mean by this?!
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Nia's eyes, Casper continued to say mercilessly,
"Although this company is under your name, I taught you to take care of it. Almost all the top executives in the company are my trusted subordinates. You just need to listen to my orders. Don't talk too much, you know?"
Originally, Nia was just a pawn used by Casper to turn around, but now that Spencer had been dealt with, her role did not seem to be that important.
Nia understood the meaning of Casper's words, and for a moment, she seemed to have returned to the days when she was used by Reynolds and Spencer. At that time, she seemed to have a lot of glory, but in fact she was just a chess piece that they played wantonly!
After being exploited again and again, even a fool can learn to be smarter, so this time Nia didn't want to vent her dissatisfaction and unwillingness to him as before, but smiled slightly under Casper's cruelty. Aggrieved, she said softly,
"Casper, don't be so serious, okay? I'm just thinking about you. Think about it. Leon and the others don't have a good image. What do people think when they are with you? Won't you be the one being questioned by all the gossip? If you really want to put them into the company, just train them well. I know how important they are to you, and it's impossible to target them specifically." When he looked at Nia's docile expression, Casper's machismo was satisfied, and the gloomy eyes were slightly relieved. He raised his hand and held Nia's chin and said,
"It's good to talk like this. You're right. The image of the few of them is indeed a bit sluggish. I will pay attention to it."
"Okay, then I'll go out first. We'll have dinner at home tonight." Nia said sweetly with a deeper smile.
"Good." Casper responded, walked straight to the desk and ignored Nia.
Nia turned around and left the office by herself.
The door behind her had just closed, and the docile smile just now disappeared in an instant. Nia stared coldly at the ground with dark eyes.
She had been childish twice. This time Nia was very sober and clearly knew what the "identity" Casper said was.
"Miss Davidson, what's wrong?" Just as Nia was mourning her situation, a concerned voice sounded. She looked up and saw that it was Kevin, her vice president.
Kevin was Casper's trusted subordinate raised in the early years. Naturally, Nia would not show her true emotions in front of him. She immediately recovered her smile, shook her head and said, "I'm just a little uncomfortable, and it will be fine after standing for a while."
"Really?" Kevin was noncommittal, staring at Nia for a while, as if he had something to say.
"Kevin, what do you want to say?" Sensitively aware of his strangeness, Nia asked.
Kevin glanced at the door of Casper's office, then whispered,
"Miss Davidson, can I talk to you?"
To say that the most profound thing Nia had learned from Casper was to observe words and emotions. When she saw Kevin's sneaky behavior, she smiled and replied, "Sure, go to my office."
That day, Nia and Kevin chatted for a long time.
Arthur didn't think of Lola until Otis mentioned her to him again, and he blamed himself for being negligent, so he immediately contacted his classmate.
"Mr. Davies, you finally remember me." Lola teased Arthur as soon as she answered the phone.
"Sorry, there have been too many things recently," Arthur didn't tell Lola the news of Lucia's kidnapping but asked instead,
"Did you get any results from my last favor?"
"You didn't even say hello to me. It's really your style." Lola laughed, and then talked about her trip to Mexico.
Lola used the long vacation to come to Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. This was a very polarized city. Outside the high walls, there were many slums and chaotic and complex environments, and Lauren lived here.
A few days after meeting Lauren, Lola brought up the matter of Jacob. Naturally, Lauren would not shirk, immediately agreed to help her investigate, and then took her to visit this charming and dark city. After the long vacation, Lola returned to the USA. She was also awaiting the results of Lauren's investigation.
"So it still hasn't been found out?" Arthur said with some disappointment. If Jacob's whereabouts can be found out, Lucia can really let go of all her worries.
"That can't be helped. You must know that the environment there is extremely complicated," Lola comforted Arthur. "People of all races live together, and there are countless people from your motherland. It is not easy to find people who deliberately hide from them, but the Lauren family is powerful, and he will definitely find out."
"I hope so," Arthur said with a sigh. "He didn't realize that I asked you to investigate?"
Lola snorted when she heard the words. Arthur's eyes moved, and he said helplessly, "He knows?"
"You also know how smart that guy is," Lola replied helplessly. "I'm originally from the FBI. It seemed even more suspicious to ask him to investigate Jacob in a private capacity. Later, he tricked me out after a few words. Sorry."
"It's okay." Now that he knew it, Arthur smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for him to contact me."
"I've already given him the number." Lola took the opportunity to say slyly.
"Miss Mccarthy!" Arthur was dumbfounded.This is the property of NĂ´-velDrama.Org.
"What's wrong with Lola?" Lucia, who had just come out of the bathroom, immediately asked with a smile when she heard Arthur address Lola "respectfully".
"Ask her yourself." Arthur handed Lucia the phone.
Taking the phone, Lucia greeted Lola,
"Lola, long time no see. How are you?"
"Lucia, hello." Lola immediately sighed, because she didn't get a few words of greeting from Arthur.
Lucia was a little puzzled, but she still chatted with her. Only then did she learn about Lauren's news. When she heard that it was related to Jacob's whereabouts, she immediately cheered up. She was also a little disappointed when she heard that the investigation had not yet come to fruition.
Sensing Lucia's emotions, Lola once again assumed the role of "comforter master", saying,
"Lucia, don't worry. The Lauren family is powerful. It's only a matter of time before Jacob is found. Good things take time. You have to be patient."
"I know," Lucia replied, "Thank you for worrying about us."
"You're welcome," Lola said repeatedly, "It should."
After finishing the call with Lola, Lucia turned around and saw Arthur lying on the bedside coaxing their daughter. The baby was giggling because of him.
