Chapter 179


    After Lucia and Lyan submitted their first nning case, they have made several modifications, and


    eventually the final draft was decided.


    The day before the offline event, they went to the spot to supervise the building of stage and exhibition


    area.


    After bustling around for a day, the staff felt a little relieved and the tense atmosphere became a little


    rxed.


    "Lucia,e to have some coffee."


    Lyan bought several cups of coffee from the Starbucks nearby, shared them with the busy staff, and


    handed one of them to Lucia.


    Lucia smiled at her and gently said thanks.


    Then she turned around to look at the built stage and asked softly, "Didn''t we invite a star to warm up


    this show? Who is it?"


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Tomorrow the event would start.


    It was important to her whether the event was sessful or not, which rted to the generous bonus


    and her future opportunities.


    All of them was what she cared.


    Lyan followed her gaze to the banner which said"


    Mystery guest"


    and whispered to her,"


    I hear it is the female star Adeline, ourpany’s old partner."


    Hearing this familiar name, Lucia was a little shocked.


    She thought of the arrogant and aloof woman who she met in August''s officest time.


    It was her, unexpectedly and reasonably.


    She was so intimate with August, so it was natural to invite her attend this event.


    On thinking of all of this, Lucia felt a little jealous and mocked herself.


    Lyan noticed that and then asked, "What''s the matter?"


    "Nothing."


    Lucia soon recovered to reply casually.


    August and she had no rtionship anymore, so why did she think so much? She might as well focus


    on her work.


    Everything on the site was set up and ready for the event of tomorrow.


    Lucia got off work early with a good mood, then bought some father''s favorite dessert and went to


    hospital.


    But when she arrived at the hospital and opened the ward''s door, she saw her father was having a


    good sleep on the bed.


    Elisa sitting by the bed gave her a silent wave, indicating her to go out to talk.


    When the door was closed, Elisa took a breath of relief and said quietly,"


    He didn’t sleep well these two days.


    Before you came, he just felt asleep, so I hope he could have a good sleep."


    Lucia nodded and asked worriedly, "Did he feel better these days?"


    Elisa sighed,"


    No, still the same."


    A touch of gloom appeared on her mother’s face.


    After a while, she seemed to remember something, took out a bankbook from her pocket and gave it to


    Lucia,"


    This is our bankbook, in which is all the money we saved these years.


    Originally, we nned to make it as your dowry."


    Before finishing these words, Elisa choked with sobs.


    Lucia was also on the edge of weeping and she held her mother’s hands saying gently,"


    Mom, don’t worry.


    Father will be all right, and we will be fine."


    She didn’t care if she had the dowry and she just hoped that father could have the surgery as soon as


    possible and recovered well.


    "Lucia, I have called your aunt and all the rtives of your father to borrow money regardless of our


    face, but don’t get much.


    All the money is deposited in this card and the password is your birthday date."


    Then Elisa passed a card to her.


    Lucia had a pang of suffering.


    Looking at the bankbook and card in her hand, she felt more painful.


    Obviously, for father’s surgery Mother had tried her best to raise money.


    With pressed lips, she stroked mother’s hand andforted her softly, "It''s enough, Mom.


    Don''t worry.


    Leave it to me.


    I will hold an event tomorrow and after that I will get a generous bonus.


    Then we will have enough money for the operation.


    The tears glittered in Elisa''s eyes.


    She was touched, then nodded and said in a trembling voice,"


    Lucia, I don’t want to make you so hard.


    I have no other choice but to depend on you."


    Lucia hugged her andforted her in a soft voice.


    As she left the hospital, Lucia’s mood sank again.


    On thinking of father''s surgery, she felt a lot of pressure, like a heavy stone pressing on her heart.


    After returning to the apartment, she ate something hastily, and tried to throw all the bad emotion out of


    the window to go to sleep after thinking of the event tomorrow.


    Early the next morning, before it was light, Lucia got up, dressed up and rushed to the site of event to


    watch all the preparation.


    All the shelves and decorations were delivered here yesterday.


    After improving a little, it looked not bad.


    She checked the screen and products, making sure the security personnel and staff all prepared, and


    then she felt a little relieved.


    Lyan saw Luciae back and forth and can’t help calming her,"


    Lucia, it’s all ready now.


    Have a rest.


    Generally nothing will happen."


    Lucia nodded, but she didn’t know why she felt muffled in heart.


    In the morning, her right eyelid twitched several times, so she still felt a little uneasy.


    "Lyan, I will go check the new products again."


    Giving a smile to Lyan, Lucia strode to the exhibition area.


    Boehm was a subsidiary of Lion Group and the main business was intelligent technology.


    Their smart home products were popr in market these two years.


    This was a warm-up for new products.


    This event in this region was the first part, and they would hold other events in other regions.


    They hoped the consumers could try their new products, which could attract more attention for the


    official release of new droducts.


    In other words, this event wouldrgely decide the poprity of new products in the market.


    In addition, a lot of medias woulde to report it, so it was crucial for theunch of new products.


    After checking time and time again, Lucia felt a little assured.


    When the event was beginning, more and more people gathered here and the za became bustling.


    Lyan came over from the direction of the screen and gave her a gesture of OK, and said quietly,


    "Adeline arrives, so it will begin in no time."


    At this time, the MC walked on the stage and began to warm up the show.


    Lucia stood on one side watching there, and relieved in heart.


    A few minutester, with the cheers of MC, an elegatt woman in aqua blue dress surrounded by the


    bodyguards walked up on the stage, and then wave decently to the crowd.


    What a gorgeous beauty with bright eyes and white teeth! Expectedly, it was Adeline.


    Lucia was astonished with her beauty.


    Sure enough, every woman who had a rtionship with August was amazing beauty.


    Jeanne was lovely and gentle while Adeline was charming and gorgeous.


    They were beautiful in their own way.


    Did August try to make a rtionship with all kinds of beauty? When such a thought popped out, Lucia


    was stunned for a moment and immediately realized something was wrong.


    Why did she always think of August? Hasn''t she already made up mind to keep distance with him?


    Howe her will became so weak...


    Gritting her teeth, she recovered to herself.


    When looking up again, she saw Adeline was waving to the crowd under the stage, but the lively


    beautiful eyes put on her.


    Lucia was stunned for a second and looked up to her, finding she had moved her eyes away.


    Just now she literally felt Adeline’s cold and unreconciled eyes.Was that her illusion?
