Chapter 273


    Lumma promptly took out her phone and essed the official website of TOP to check tomorrow’s


    auction schedule. The auction was scheduled to begin at 8 o’clock in the evening, so flying over


    tomorrow noon would still be feasible.


    Next, she checked the flights from Red Pine City to Coastal City for tomorrow. Both cities were bustling


    metropolises with an abundance of flights throughout the day.


    Considering Adam’s flying habits, Lumma booked a 10 o’clock morning flight. This way, they would


    arrive in Coastal City with two hours to spare before lunch. “Mr. Hills, I’ve made a reservation for the 10


    o’clock flight to Coastal City tomorrow.”


    Adam’s sole focus was to take Lumma away from Red Pine City, avoiding the time when Lucas would


    return. He didn’t realize that a simple sentence from him could create such a ripple of events for


    Lumma. “You don’t need to prepare anything else. I’m just going to have a casual look. You can


    continue reading your book.”


    “Understood.” Despite Adam’s statement, Lumma, being his assistant, couldn’t neglect making


    preparations in advance. Otherwise, if she arrived at the auction venue tomorrow and remained


    clueless about everything, her role as an assistant would lose its purpose.


    “Adam, are you and Lumma going to Coastal City for the auction?” Judy noticed their conversation and


    finally lifted her head from theic book. “I don’t have much going ontely. Can I join you?”


    “If you behave well, I might consider it.” Adam gestured to Judy, thinking that his intention was clear.


    However, Judy waspletely perplexed. “Adam, what do you want me to do?”


    Adam replied, “Aren’t you hungry?”


    Judy hadn’t felt hungry until Adam mentioned it, but as soon as he did, her stomach growled. “I think I


    am hungry. Let’s grab a bite first.”


    Lost in her book and studies, Lumma hadpletely lost track of time. When she finally checked, it


    was already half-past twelve. “Mr. Hills, I should take my leave now. I’ll see you at the airport tomorrow


    morning.”


    “Should I have the driver take you?” Adam didn’t explicitly ask Lumma to stay, but he subtly exchanged


    a nce with Judy. Judy instantly understood his intention.


    Judy hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Lumma’s arm. “Lumma, it’s mealtime. Why are you leaving?


    We’re going to Coastal City together tomorrow. Stay here tonight, and we can conveniently leave for


    the airport together.”


    Judy, I’m sorry! I have ns in the afternoon.” Lumma felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to continue staying


    without any official business, especially since she had an appointment with Selena to review the design


    drawings.


    “Who did you make ns with? Is it someone important?” Judy blinked her eyes, and tears welled up


    and rolled down from the corners of her eyes. “It’s okay, Lumma. Go and attend to your matters. Since I


    was born, my parents never cared for me, and due to my status, there aren’t many people who


    genuinely want to befriend me. If you don’t want to hang out with me, I understand.


    Goodbye…”


    Though urging Lumma to depart swiftly, she buried her face in Lumma’s embrace. She clung to Lumma


    tightly, weeping ever more sorrowfully.


    Judy’s eyes and nose turned red from crying. She looked pitiful, like a little bunny that had been


    mistreated. Lumma couldn’t bear to see her in such distress.


    Just as Lumma was about to offerfort, she noticed Adam frown beside her and state sternly, “Judy,


    how old are you? Still blubbering like that. If you must cry, do so in your room. Don’t act like a child.”


    His tone was somewhat harsh, and Lumma couldn’t bear to hear that. She patted Judy’s back gently.


    “Judy, don’t cry. The person I made ns with isn’t important. I’ll stay here today and keep you


    company.”


    “Really?” Judy wiped her tears and gestured an ‘OK’ sign behind Lumma, directed at Adam.

    “Lumma, you’re truly wonderful. I really like you.”


    Lumma was still getting used to Judy’s enthusiastic nature but tried to respond in a simr manner. “I


    like you too.


    Adam nced disapprovingly at Judy. He had asked Judy to find a way to keep Lumma there, but he


    hadn’t intended for them to confess their feelings to each other
