Chapter 963 Suspicious Characters
Arthur smiled slightly, and said jokingly, “Is that the man who made me win a month’s bet?”
“Arthur!” Lucia blushed and scolded.
“I remember,” Arthur admired the charming blush on Lucia’s face, and then replied as she wished,
“Is there something wrong with that man?”
“I met him several times in the Dekee hotel.” Lucia gave Arthur a “bad” look before saying, “I always feel that this person looks more and more familiar.”
Arthur frowned when he heard this, stared at Lucia and asked,
“Are you interested in him?”
Lucia paused, looked up and saw Arthur’s serious face, and the next second she laughed out loud, “Mr. Davies, are you jealous again?”
Arthur pursed his lips, because he never tolerated such things.
“How is that possible!” Lucia immediately said, “It’s just a coincidence. We met him on the plane, but you thought he was watching us all the time. You thought he was just passing by, but I didn’t expect to meet him in the hotel. Normal people would be curious about the coincidence, right?”
“It’s a coincidence in this world. I only believe in the fate between you and me,” Arthur replied seriously, “I’ll let Kyle check his identity.”
“Isn’t this a bit of an invasion of privacy?” Lucia said dumbfounded, and Arthur was taking it too seriously.
“Do you want to check?” Arthur asked Lucia back.
Lucia stared into Arthur’s purple eyes for a few seconds, and finally could only surrender, “Check, I can rest assured after checking.”
When Arthur heard this, he immediately raised a slight smile, thinking in his heart that he should be the one who can rest assured…
Eve showed the vitality like a little flower in this seaside travel itinerary. During the whole four days, she had maintained strong energy, caressing every sea breeze passing by her greedily, letting the sun fall on herself wantonly, and touching each gravel with her toes.
Lying on the deck chair, Nia took a deep breath of the salt sea breeze, and said to Lauren who had been watching Eve who was piling up sand.
“It seems that this trip is really worthy. Eve has never been so happy.”
Listening to Nia’s voice, Lauren smiled for the first time, for the smile on Eve’s face.
“Mr. Osade, thank you very much.” Nia was dissatisfied with Lauren’s ignorance, and said again.
Lauren frowned slightly, moved his eyes away from Eve and slowly moved to Nia’s face, asking lightly,
“She would be happier if you didn’t tell her about those so-called difficult resumes.”
When Nia heard this, she suddenly felt that the soft sunlight just now became dazzling. Did Eve tell him all about her “experience”? !
“Mr. Osade, do you think I’m lying?”
“Did I say that?” Lauren asked back, curling his lips.
“Everyone has their own position. Maybe my description is unfair, but I didn’t deliberately slander anyone. Otherwise, you can investigate it by yourself.” In fact, Nia was not afraid of Lauren’s investigation at all, because even if he found something, he would choose to help her because of Eve.
“Not interested.” Lauren snorted coldly and turned to look at Eve.
“Last time I also told you that I will have a problem soon, and I will trouble you.” From the initial temptation to the direct request, Nia felt that she had controlled Lauren.
Lauren stared at Eve’s direction noncommittally, but it was such an ambiguous attitude that made Nia more confident.
For four whole days, Casper couldn’t contact Nia, and the only thing he knew was that she had packed away the suitcase and some clothes she often wore, and Casper began to feel uneasy about this.
Where did Nia go? Had she betrayed him? ! But if that was the case, why hadn’t Lucia found him yet?
Casper was never one to sit still. Since he started to doubt, he must confirm it, and the best way was to contact Lucia directly. She hated Jacob so much that if she had learned something from Nia, she would not have avoided talking about it and done nothing about it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of holding the StandHill Investment Company shareholders’ meeting, Casper found Lucia alone after the meeting, but whether it was intentional or not, Arthur had already turned down the meeting on the pretext of being busy with work.
“Mr. Wood, do you have something to do with me?” Casper’s assistant “invited” her to his office, so Lucia asked her assistant to wait outside the door, mediating with Casper alone.
“I don’t know where Nia has been these few days. Is there any news about it, Ms. Webb?” Casper cut to the point, staring at Lucia for a moment and asking, as if trying to read some message from her face.
Lucia raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked with a chuckle, “Mr. Wood, Ms. Davidson and you should have a closer relationship. Even you don’t know where she went, so how would I know?”
“Ms. Webb, you really don’t know?” Casper asked persistently.
Lucia glanced at Casper impatiently. She didn’t even want to sit down since she came in, but just put her hands in her trouser pockets and looked at him coldly.
“If you don’t believe it, then I have nothing to do.” She said lightly.
“Sorry, I was just worried about Nia’s safety, and I was in a hurry,” Casper quickly changed the subject when he saw Lucia’s displeasure, and added,
“Ms. Webb, please sit down and talk. Don’t be so formal.”
“Thank you, I’m not tired.” Lucia refused mercilessly.
Seeing Lucia’s decisive attitude, Casper smiled wryly and said,
“Ms. Webb, I think you are still too hostile to me. Haven’t I already confessed everything to you and Mr. Davies?”
“It’s like that, but people’s hearts are unpredictable,” Lucia said after hooking the corners of her lips, “Even if it’s spoken from the mouth, it may be distorted.”
“Do you still doubt me?!” Casper stood up excitedly and asked.
“Don’t get excited,” Lucia looked at Casper’s reaction amusedly and thought he acted very realistically. “Mr. Wood, you’re also a businessman. You have seen a lot of ups and downs in business. Can you trust one person completely just by a few words?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Casper gave another wry smile when he heard the words, and said helplessly, “It seems that I didn’t do well enough.”
The more Lucia listened, the more impatient she became. She said in a deep voice,
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
Casper couldn’t get any information from Lucia, so he had no choice but to let her go. Lucia even refused his see-off, and left with her assistant.
After Lucia left, Leon came over from another office and asked Casper,
“Mr. Wood, what’s up? Is there anything suspicious about Lucia?”
“She doesn’t know about Nia’s whereabouts,” Casper said affirmatively.
