Lucia was sitting on the sofa. She was clearly sitting in a low position, but her eyebrows were arched and she was arrogant. Her aura was notparable to that of a woman like Nia who rode on a man''s influence. The moment she looked at her eyes, Nia was so intimidated by her that she backed away and lowered her eyebrows in apletely subliminal manner.
Seeing Nia''s cowardice made Spencer ashamed of himself. There was a difference between a queen and a maid.
"Ms. Webb, I am so sorry, and I swear to God that I will cut off all contact with Mr. Davies, and I will never again speak nonsense in front of you," Nia mumbled. The fear in her voice could be noticed. "You''re mistaken," Lucia said with a smile. "I''ve never interfered with your rtionship with Spencer. I''m angry because you threatened my child. You cut off contact with him. It''s got nothing to do with me. Find out your direction and start over."
Nia was stunned to hear what Lucia said. She wasn''t intelligent to quickly interpret what Lucia was saying. What did that mean? She didn''t care about her rtionship with Spencer?
However, Spencer knew what Lucia meant. He walked over and tugged Nia backward. He said to Lucia, "Lucia, you''re tired aftering back from the hospital. You''d better go back and rest." "Didn''t shee here to apologize to me? I haven''t heard her apology yet," Lucia said deliberately with a wink.
"She doesn''t know the real situation at all. Why do you have to make things difficult for her?" Spencer wasn''t really defending Nia, because he knew very well that Lucia''s sarcasm towards Nia was directed at him.
"All right," said Lucia, standing up and patting the hem of her skirt. "Since you are so protective of her, I won''t make thing s difficult to her."
After saying that, Lucia simply turned around and walked towards the building, as if the incident just now was nothing more than a diversion for her. Spencer red at Nia and quickly followed after her. After taking Lucia back to the building to help her pack her luggage, he rushed back to the living room of the vi and as soon as he entered the room, he scolded Nia sternly,
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
Nia was still in a daze, and Spencer''s scolding brought her back to her senses.
"Spencer," Nia looked aggrieved and said to Spencer, "The reporters finally left, which is why I had the opportunity toe and find you. I didn''t know that Lucia woulde back with you..."
Spencer sighed heavily. He didn''t want to exin anything to Nia, so he sat down on the couch and said to Nia,
"Don''t you evere here again?"
"Spencer?" Nia panicked when she heard Spencer say that. She sat down next to Spencer and took his arm and said,
"Weren''t those words meant for Lucia? Are you really going to cut me off?"
"Let''s talk about thister. Right now, we''re in the limelight. The reporters will be following us at any time. You''re stilling to me at a time like this. Aren''t you providing material for others to report on?!" Spencer scolded Nia.
"But Lucia already said that she doesn''t mind... at most, I won''t provoke her in the future." Nia said in a wronged manner. She didn''t want to leave Spencer. She had finally managed to make a name for herself with him.
"You think this is just about Lucia?" Spencer thought Nia was stupid, and said impatiently, "The recentpany''s stock price, because of this scandal, has dropped a lot. I still have to spend time to restore my image in the public. Don''t cause any troubles for me."
Nia was so upset about being med, but she didn''t give up and whispered to Spencer,
"What am I supposed to do now?"
"Stay home. Stay out of the public. If reporterse looking for you, just shut the door," Spencer said.
Nia pursed her lips tightly. She was unwilling but didn''t dare to bring it up. How could she show off to others by hiding at home all day?
Seeing Nia''s unhappy face, Spencer squinted and said in a low voice, "Did you hear what I said?"
"I heard what you said carefully," Nia replied in a low voice.
"You can go backter and give me a massage before you go back. I''m a little tired." Spencer closed his eyes and left Nia alone.
Nia looked at Spencer''s nonchnt face and feltplicated in her heart, but still obediently started massaging his shoulders.
The heat of the scandal subsided after Lucia publicly forgave Spencer in the press. Although it was asionally mentioned and only briefly, it was regarded as a joke.
As the second phase of the development project of South Sea began, Arthur became obsessed with his work and rarely appeared in public again. Even his social engagements were done by his underlings or Kyle. If there was not the asional interview with channel of finance and economics, almost everyone in Athegate thought he had left.
And it wasn''t just Arthur who disappeared. Lucia did it too.
By the time winter came, Lucia''s belly was already very obvious. The six-month-old fetus was clearly moving. Every time she put her hand on her belly and felt the baby''s movements, Lucia felt extremely happy.
In the past month and a half, she hardly left the house. The Webbex Group''s business were entirely managed by Kane. She felt very assured. Apart from the asional video conference with the higher-ups, the most she did was to sit in the backyard of the small building. Lying on a bench, she stared nkly at the gray-blue sky, and holding the plush ck coat that Arthur had bought for her.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
She could not touch Arthur''s body temperature. At least, she still had the warmth he gave her.
Jack and the others had been apanying Lucia for more than five months. Their rtion had been nurtured by ident. Sometimes, they were so careful as if they were four big brothers. They often came out to chat with her when they were sure that no one had found out, so Lucia won''t be bored.
Eventually, Lucia noticed something strange. Sometimes, Jack and the others were near the building, but her food was delivered on time. Once, Lucia asked Victor curiously,
"Victor, who brought all this food? I thought you didn''t leave."
Victor looked startled, then scratched his head and said, "Take-out."
"Really?" Lucia hugged the coat and rubbed her face. The soft touch made her happy. She said, "I thought you would worry about the food delivered. You prepared it yourself."
