Chapter 308 Eduard is here
Although JTP had a lot of famous titles, if she looked closely at the internal management and operation methods, she can see that Jacob was completely using the old money left by her father. Many friends who had cooperated with Eric before, because of Jacob's character problems, had cut off cooperation one after another, and its reputation in the industry was not very good. To improve this situation, it took considerable thinking and planning.
"Jacob, I thought you really has the ability..." After closing the document, Lucia muttered to herself. With the current development trend of JTP, within ten years, it will definitely become an empty shelf, outwardly strong and inwardly weak.
Just as Lucia was bothering about business, Nia knocked on her door, stuck her head in and said, "Lucia, Mr. Burton is here for you."
"Eduard?" Lucia raised her eyebrows, with her eyes lit up. She stood up and said, "Please invite him in."
Nia nodded and immediately ushered Eduard in. Much to Lucia's surprise, Daphne was behind him.
"Daphne, why are you here?" With a smile on Lucia's face, she left the desk and walked towards them, holding Daphne's hand as soon as they got there.
Nia looked at Daphne a few more times. She remembered this woman. She was Poppy's former assistant. Why was Lucia so enthusiastic about her? Eduard, who was completely ignored, turned his head to wink at Daphne, and asked her with confusion, "Daphne, am I transparent?" Daphne was holding hands with Lucia when she heard his words and pursed her lips and said mischievously, "Lucia, can you see Eduard?"
"I can't see him." Lucia replied without hesitation, and Eduard put on a bitter look in an instant, and immediately made the two women amused.
Nia on the side had a feeling of being excluded. She took a step forward and said to Lucia, "Lucia, then I'll go out first."
"Yeah." Lucia nodded, still looking at Daphne. The smile deepened when she noticed her leg was fully recovered.
Nia somehow felt suffocated in her chest, so she hurried out of the office, being afraid that she might be feeling something she shouldn't have. Taking Daphne to the sofa and sitting down, Lucia asked her, "Daphne, why do you come to the company to find me?"
For Daphne, Lucia really treated her like a sister.
"I heard from Eduard that Jacob has run away and no one can hurt me anymore, so I want to go back to work and be by your side." Daphne said with a sweet smile.
Hearing this, Lucia glanced at Eduard, who was sitting next to Daphne, and saw that he shook his head bitterly to her while Daphne was not paying attention. Lucia knew that this was Daphne's own idea, so she asked her,
"Are you sure you can come back to work? You're injured. Should you continue to recuperate?"
Otherwise Eduard should be anxious. Lucia added quietly in her heart.
"Lucia, I feel really good," Daphne explained anxiously when Lucia didn't agree immediately, "My leg injury wasn't that serious, and it's really bothering him to stay at Eduard's house every day. I want to go back to the company work hard and study hard."
Lucia still didn't respond immediately, but glanced at Eduard again. Seeing him wink straight at her, Lucia smiled,
"That's fine, but isn't the place you rented out already?"
"Yeah." Daphne answered honestly, not knowing why Lucia would turn to ask about her accommodation.
"In this case, you can go back to work in the company, but continue to live in Eduard's house. There are many rooms in his house."
"No!" Daphne, who was simple-minded immediately shook her head, "I've been bothering Eduard for a long time... and I haven't paid a penny of rent. I really can't..."
"You just said you are going back to work," Eduard finally said, cutting off Daphne directly,
"You don't have money for a while, let alone find a place to live, buy furniture, water and electricity. Lucia is right, my house has always been empty. Anyway, you already live there now, then continue to live. I won't want your rent."
Daphne wanted to continue refusing, but she felt that Eduard's words seemed... very reasonable... Under the situation of hesitation, Daphne looked at Lucia with trust.
Lucia didn't think it was funny. She was going to help her.
"Daphne, just stay there, so I can feel at ease." Lucia stood by Eduard's side.
"Lucia, but I..." Daphne tried to struggle. Eduard was nice to her, but he was a man after all, and, she said,
"I'm afraid of disturbing Eduard's girlfriend..."
As soon as Daphne finished speaking, Eduard, who was sitting next to her, spit out the coffee he had just had.
Lucia raised her hand to cover her mouth lightly. She was afraid that she couldn't hold back her laughter. It turned out that this was what Daphne was worried about.
Daphne didn't expect Eduard to act like this, so she hurriedly wiped his clothes in a panic, but Eduard clasped her wrist and asked,
"What are you thinking? How can you have such a ridiculous idea!"
"No..." Daphne replied innocently, "Don't you have a lot of girlfriends, Eduard? Magazines often report them, but they haven't been there since I moved into your house. Am I a trouble..."
"I..." Eduard choked after uttering the word "I", feeling as though he was being slapped in the face by his past.
This time, Lucia's laughter couldn't be hidden any longer, and the schadenfreude was obvious.
"Lucia!" Eduard was annoyed, and now he can only hope Lucia would help him.
Lucia cleared her throat, and under Daphne's curious eyes, told her, "Daphne, Eduard is not a playboy. You know that there are many social contacts in the upper class, and sometimes just a meal between friends will be magnified by the media, magazines and propaganda. He's actually a bachelor."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Daphne was doubtful. Was it true? She turned to look at Eduard, only to see Eduard nodded to her, so she smiled embarrassedly,
"It turns out I thought it was myself that prevented Eduard from having a girlfriend..."
"No," Eduard said with certainty.
"Then I'll continue to bother Eduard." Daphne said to Eduard with a wide-eyed smile.
Eduard nodded. The hidden meaning of success in his eyes was clearly seen by Lucia who felt it hilarious. Even Eduard who was dissolute, would become so serious.
