Chapter 869 Mutual Perfunctoriness
"I think she still hates me at all," Nia grumbled coldly. "She also treats me indifferently, as if she is really amazing!"
"Now the only ones who can check and balance Casper are Lucia and Arthur," Kevin comforted Nia. "You don't care whether she hates you, as long as she doesn't embarrass you on the surface. When the time comes and you really want to offend Casper openly, we have backers to rely on."
"Do you really think Arthur and Lucia will help me?" Nia frowned, somewhat questioning Kevin's decision.
"Once Casper's ambitions are exposed, they will naturally choose a side. No matter how you think about it, our side has the upper hand. Besides, we still have the final trump card, don't we?" Kevin said indifferently.
"You mean..." Nia's face darkened. Could it be that the trump card Kevin mentioned was...
"That's the last step, if Casper really wants to embarrass us," Kevin's eyes flashed brightly and fiercely behind the gold-rimmed glasses.
"Before that, we must rely on the strength of Arthur and Lucia to develop Stable Growth. Otherwise we will get nothing if Casper falls."
"I know, I will bear it a little bit in the future, for the sake of our future." Nia's brows relaxed, and Kevin's words made the gloom in her heart dissipate a lot.
"Come to me if you feel wronged. I will always support you behind you." Kevin hugged Nia tightly, not forgetting to express his loyalty.
Nia was very happy. She had always been the only one standing behind a man to be obsequious. But she had never had a man supporting her behind. She snuggled into Kevin's arms contentedly, and imagined the future of the two together with him.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Lucia and Arthur had a dinner appointment with Nia and Casper. On that day, Nia came to Casper's office early to remind him but she didn't expect to see him and his secretary kissing on the sofa as soon as she entered the door. Nia's heart seemed to stop. She punched the door of the office.
The secretary was taken aback, but Casper was much calmer. He waved his hand to let the secretary go out first, and sat on the sofa looking at Nia in disheveled clothes, without any embarrassment or nervousness of being caught.
The secretary buried her head in guilt when she passed by Nia. Nia snorted coldly, and said to Casper after she went out,
"Casper, don't you care how I feel? Fucking these women in the office!?"
"I've been under a lot of pressure recently. It's just for entertainment. Do you come up to remind me about the dinner?" Casper shrugged indifferently, and in a few words, he took away the matter of having affairs with other women.
"There's still two hours left for the appointment," Nia said aggrievedly, sneering at Casper.
"You still have the mind doing it here."
Casper smiled. He stood up, walked to Nia, put his hand on her shoulder and asked,
"Jealous?"
"What do you think!?" Nia glared at Casper pitifully.
"Just for fun. Isn't it you who is the right one?" Casper laughed.
Right onw? As soon as Nia thought about it, an idea flashed through her mind. Before she could think twice, she said that idea,
"Casper, have you ever thought about marrying me?"
Casper was stunned, but also Nia who asked the question.
Nia really wanted to slap herself now. How could she speak out what was in her mind!?
The expression on Casper's face can be described as wonderful, with contempt hidden under the astonishment, and perfunctoriness besides contempt, which was ridiculous after it. He calmed down his confused mood, and said with an embarrassing smile,
"Why did you bring this up suddenly? Our goal has not been achieved yet. It's too early to think about it, right?"
Nia looked at the stiff and unnatural smile on Casper's lips, and smiled herself. Only she knew the bitterness in her heart. She said half-jokingly,
"Just a casual mention. Don't take it to heart. Get ready quickly."
After speaking, Nia raised her hand to tidy up Casper's skirt, and nothing unusual could be seen in her slightly drooping eyes. Casper looked down at her with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Nia had already started to think wildly, and it seemed that her plan must be accelerated, and it can't be ruined by this woman in the end!
And Nia had no kindness in her heart. Casper's perfunctory words has cut off the last trace of her wishful thinking. Now she only thought about how to seek her own interests and future!
An hour later, Nia held Casper's hand and went to the appointment together. The two walked forward together, but they weren't thinking the same.
On the other side, Arthur drove downstairs to the Webbex Group. After parking the car, he walked directly into the lobby of the building.
One must know that Arthur hadn't come to Lucia in such an open and aboveboard manner for a long time, so the moment he appeared, he caused an uproar in the Webbex Group.
Since the press conference was held more than ten days ago, everyone knew that Arthur and Lucia had never forgotten each other. After Esmae's explanation, the two were even understood by onlookers as s fateful couple. Apart from lamenting their difficulty, they also supported their relationship, and hoped that they could be together again. But it was a pity that Arthur had already suppressed the media. Otherwise the people of Athegate would have seen reports of them long ago.
Arthur reappeared in the Webbex Group, which was exactly the scene that all employees were looking forward to. Based on the awe of Lucia, as employees, they naturally hoped that the president would no longer be disturbed by gossip. And they stood together, which was the best to kill the rumor.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Arthur went straight to the president's elevator as usual. Of course he knew that everyone was talking about him, but he just didn't care.
Taking the elevator all the way up, when Arthur appeared in front of Lucia's office, she was still buried in her work. Arthur smiled at Lucia who was working hard, and knocked on the door lightly. "Arthur, why are you here so early?" Lucia looked up and saw Arthur, and smiled sweetly. The setting sun projected from the French windows behind her seemed even brighter.
Arthur walked towards Lucia, just like walking towards the sunshine in his heart. Feeling the warmth in his heart, he said softly,
"It's getting late. Are you so busy that you forget the time?"
Lucia looked down at her watch when she heard the words, only to realize that it was already five o'clock. She stuck out her tongue and smiled, saying playfully,
"It turns out that I myself forgot the time."
"If you're too busy, ask Kane for help. Don't tire yourself out." Walking to Lucia's side, Arthur said distressedly after seeing the stacked documents on the table.
