Chapter 292 Jealousy
Lucia was leaning on Eduard's shoulder. Her eyes were already brimming with tears, but she wanted to laugh at his words. He was such a fascinating contradiction.
"All right, all right, I'll come visit you more often, okay? As long as Mr. Davis isn't jealous." Eduard was usually the best at saying sweet words with women, but to those he took seriously, what he said can be blunt, but always can make people smile.
"Then you must always visit me," said Lucia, looking up at him.
"It's a deal," Eduard said with a smile.
After leaving Eduard's office, Lucia returned to her own office. She had a few things to pack. While she was packing, Nia was standing in front of her desk, looking very reluctant.
Lucia found out about Nia's emotions, and as she cleaned up, she looked up at her and said, "Nia, what's going on?"
"Lucy, are you really leaving?" Nia asked with a frown.
"Well, it's time to go," replied Lucia with a smile.
"You're the best boss I've ever had... and we've worked so hard to get used to each other..." Nia said reluctantly. One of the most difficult things to get in the workplace was to meet a boss who was reasonable and had a good personality. Lucia was like this. She didn't know what her next boss will be like.
"Don't worry. I heard from Mr. Burton that the next CEO will be older and more composed. You will definitely be able to work well together." Lucia knew Nia's thoughts. To tell the truth, her ability to work was good. She also can not bear to part with her.
"It's not about the next one," Nia lowered her eyes and whispered, "I don't want to leave you..."
Lucia smiled and walked over to Nia and said, "Don't worry. We still have a chance to get along."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Although this wasn't much consolation, Nia could only accept it. She said to Lucia, "Lucy, we booked a private room at the Nova Hotel tonight to see you off. You have to be there at 8 o'clock." "Yes, I will," Lucia promised with a smile.
After packing up, Lucia said goodbye to the colleagues of rest of the departments and left Jibillion Inc. Nia was in a bad mood and needed her boyfriend's comfort the most.
In her spare time, she texted her boyfriend, Lennie, "Lennie, I'm not happy."
"What's up?" Lennie texted back quickly.
"My boss Lucia is going back to her own company. And the tacit understanding that we've developed is really hard to let go of," Nia said to Lennie.
"I see. Didn't you say that Lucia's return to her company would make her the next president? You don't want to miss that opportunity," replied Lennie.
"Opportunity?" Nia thought for a long time about what Lennie was saying and didn't quite understand what he meant, so she sent it over and asked.
"Yes. Think about it. If you stay at Jibillion, there's not much room for growth. But if you can follow Lucia to her company, just do well and you have a lot of growth. Isn't that great? You don't want to be an assistant forever, do you?" Lennie asked.
Nia frowned, and Lennie had a point. Lennie was born into a wealthy family. Meeting him was like the ugly duckling on a TV show. Even though Lennie had never mentioned it, Nia cared a lot about her job, and she wanted to be the kind of person that deserved to be with Lennie.
"But will Lucia let me go back to the JTP with her?" Nia was concerned.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Lennie replied quickly, and a few seconds later sent another message, "Nia, you're an excellent girl. Believe in yourself."
Nia watched Lennie's encouraging text as she smiled slightly.
Yeah, well, she never knew until she tried.
Lucia had not been so free for a long time. On an afternoon when she was not working, she wandered around the house for a while. When she was bored, she went to Fragranerde Hall to find Juliana. She liked their son very much.
"When are you going to name the baby?" Holding the baby in her arms, Lucia's movements were extremely gentle. She looked up and asked Juliana, while Kane, who was tidying up his clothes, immediately pricked up his ears.
"I don't know yet..." Juliana replied in a low voice, glancing off in Kane's direction.
Lucia could tell from her expression that Juliana still cared about the deception in the past.
Thinking that she, Poppy and Jacob were responsible for everything, Lucia offered Kane a helping hand,
"Poppy is dead, Julia. There are some things you don't have to take to heart. If you can't forget them all, it's better to bury them. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be sitting here holding the baby and talking to you right now."
"Lucia, maybe I'm not as generous as you're," Juliana said, frowning slightly.
"No, you're generous," said Lucia with a smile. "If not, how could you love the baby so much?"
"Because he is my child," said Juliana.
"No, because he's yours and Kane's..." Lucia said, looking at Juliana.
Juliana's eyes brightened and she understood Lucia's words instantly.
"It is because... the baby is mine and his," Juliana murmured. She turned to look at Kane, just in time to see Kane who was watching them talk, quickly put his head down and pretend to fix his clothes. She smiled knowingly and said to Lucia,
"The baby's name comes soon."
Lucia smiled gently and kissed the baby on the forehead. Now she missed Theodore.
In the evening, when Arthur returned from his office, he was not pleased to see Lucia in the villa,
"Why aren't you at work with me when you're bored? Why are you here with Julia..."
Lucia laughed bitterly. Juliana and Kane laughed. Lucia said,
"Isn't going to the office interrupting your work? I thought I'd come and see the baby..."
"Is the baby more important than me?" Arthur put his arms around Lucia's waist and questioned her seriously, which made all three of them laugh.
"Arthur, why are you so narrow-minded? Are you jealous of my baby?" Juliana teased Arthur playfully.
"The baby is a man," Arthur said, glancing at Juliana.
Juliana found it funny had a new understanding of Arthur's affection for Lucia.
"I miss Teddy too," said Lucia who was patting Arthur's chest in amusement.
