Chapter 862 Secret thoughts
Nia's expression became even more unnatural when she heard Arthur's words. The corners of her lips were already a little stiff, and she tried her best to maintain a smile, but no matter how she tried to hide it, the displeasure between her brows still leaked slightly.
Kevin, who had never spoken in front of Arthur, and was not even qualified to participate in their discussion, suddenly spoke,
"Mr. Davies, you must be joking. Miss Davidson gives you the equity in the name of a private person. It has nothing to do with Mr. Wood. Moreover, Miss Davidson is full of sincerity and hopes to promote the relationship between our two companies. To cooperate and seek common development, Mr. Davies, you will not question Miss Davidson's sincerity, right?"
Kevin's words were so scorching that Arthur couldn't help but look at him. He smiled slightly and said apologetically,
"Sorry, maybe I was thinking too much. Before, Miss Davidson seemed to value Mr. Wood's decision, so..."
"Mr. Davies, you were really thinking too much," Nia continued his words.
"This is my grievance with Spencer and has nothing to do with Casper. Now everything is over. Holding these shares will only make it difficult for you to deal with later, so I'm willing to take them out."
"In that case, I would like to thank you for your kindness," Arthur said with a smile. "Your generosity has indeed helped us. Of course, I'll compensate you as usual for the share of equity."
Amasun Group had now restructured its funds, and Nia knew exactly how much the 10% stake meant, so she was not too polite on this point. She didn't intend to stay longer after the discussion, so she got up and left after a while. Arthur escorted them out of the office himself.
As soon as Nia and Kevin got into the elevator, Nia relaxed like a breath of relief. She couldn't help saying,
"Arthur's sense of oppression is too strong, until now I still can't adapt."
"It's okay," Kevin, who stood side by side with Nia, smiled comfortingly and said, "At least our goal has been achieved."
Nia's eyebrows relaxed a little when she heard this, but she still had some doubts. "Do you think he's noticed something?"
"It's okay," Kevin said again. "It's better for him to detect your intention, so that he can know whom he is working with in the future."
"It's true," Nia said with all her eyes wide open, a little unconvinced.
"After this rescue operation, he must have seen that I need Casper's consent in everything. This move is to tell him that I, Nia, have the final say and no one can interfere!"
Kevin curled his lips and smiled, moving closer to Nia. Although there was no obvious inappropriate behavior, the two's arms were already stuck together, and his tone of voice no longer seemed like a subordinate.
"Nia, it'll depend on whether you can withstand the pressure later on."
"Don't worry. For the future, I'll be able to withstand it!" Nia gave Kevin a firm look, and there was a touch of familiarity between her eyebrows. She smiled at Kevin.
In the office, as soon as Nia and Kevin left, Arthur immediately told Lucia the news.
As soon as Lucia had heard what Arthur had said, she asked him,
"Nia only brought Kevin? What is she trying to prove?"
"Probably to prove that she's an independent individual, not subject to Casper's restraint and influence," Arthur recalled Nia's unnatural expression just now and said with a smile.
"I've only mentioned Casper's name three times, and Kevin couldn't help but speak. It seems that he and Nia have reached some kind of consensus."
"It can be seen who is in control between Casper and Nia. Nia has been used several times. It seems that this time she has learned to be smart." Lucia said softly.
"Learn to be smart?" Arthur didn't think so. "If she really has learned to be smart, she wouldn't have brought Kevin. In my opinion, it's just that the object of her attachment has changed, and she has not improved in essence."
How can such a woman be strong if she was blindly attached to a man?
"It seems that Casper didn't know that she came to see you today." Lucia really hoped that Nia would have a long memory.
While Lucia was talking to Arthur, the assistant suddenly walked into the office and told her that there was a visitor. Lucia didn't hang up the phone and asked the assistant who it was. "It's Casper Wood."
Lucia laughed out loud when she heard this, and said to Arthur,
"These two are quite consistent in their actions."
"Now you can probably see that their goals are different." Arthur also felt it funny. Casper didn't know that Nia came to find him, but did Nia know that he went to see Lucia alone?
"Talk tonight, I'll meet Casper first." Lucia and Arthur hung up the phone after talking, and she asked the assistant to bring him up.
Casper came alone. Of course, he knew nothing about the conversation between Lucia and Arthur. As soon as he entered the office, he said hello and asked if Lucia was free. Regardless of whether it was abrupt or not, he wanted to invite her out for a while.
"Is there anything inconvenient to say here?" Lucia asked Casper calmly without moving.
Casper smiled gently, and said without hesitation,
"It's a private matter to talk about. Of course it's not convenient here."
"Mr. Wood, am I familiar with you?" Lucia smiled but wasn't truly happy. She said in a calm voice, "Is there any personal matter between you and me?"
"Ms. Webb, I'm your savior anyway. Why are you so indifferent?" Casper wasn't embarrassed but smiled even more ambiguously.
Lucia rolled her eyes and asked instead,
"Didn't Miss Davidson come with you?"
"I just want to talk to you alone. There's no need to bring her along." Casper remained blunt.
"Okay, but I'll choose the location." Seeing Casper's expression of no guilt, Lucia didn't shirk, but stood up first and walked out the door. Casper followed behind her with a smile, never taking his eyes off her halfway.
Ten minutes later, Lucia and Casper came to a coffee shop near the company together. When walking on the street together, Lucia deliberately quickened her pace, while Casper acted very gentlemanly. If she slowed down, he slowed down too. And he ordered the flavors they liked respectively. Lucia glanced at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, and said impatiently on purpose,This is the property of NĂ´-velDrama.Org.
"Can we talk now?"
Casper didn't respond, but just looked at Lucia with a pleasing expression, as if trying to test Lucia's patience.
Lucia leaned on the back. Her eyes gradually turned cold. She tapped the table with her fingertips, raised her eyes to look at Casper and said,
"Can't you speak?"
