Chapter 250
Vincent was already prepared for Lucas’ anger, but after knocking on the door twice, he still heard no response at all.
Vincent even suspected that the security guard had got it wrong. Perhaps Lucas hadn’t arrived yet?
Just as he was hesitating, he knocked on the door for the third time. Finally, Lucas’ deep voice came from inside. “Come in.”
Vincente took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He smelt smoke once he entered the office. Vincent then saw Lucas at the table.
Lucas was leaning against his armchair and the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. There was one cigarette in his dangling hand. Lucas’ cold face looked grimmer than it usually did.
Vincent had never seen Lucas like this. He called out meticulously. “Mr. Thomas?”
Lucas moved slightly, raised his hand, and took a puff. He spat out the smoke and said coldly. “Speak.”
The single word made Vincent chill.
Vincent shuddered and fearfully recounted what had happened half an hour ago. “Now, the netizens are all talking about it. Since Mr. Justin Thomas was sent to the hospital last night for emergency treatment, perhaps we should suppress the news?”
Hearing that, Lucas suddenly sneered. “What did you say?”
Lucas suddenly raised his head. His eyes were as cold as ice.
Vincent froze, not daring to look Lucas in the eye. “That perhaps we should suppress the news.”
“We don’t.”
Vincent couldn’t believe what he had heard. “But in that case, Mr. Justin Thomas will.”
“Are you my grandfather’s secretary or mine?”
Though Lucas was moody, he rarely said things like that.
Vincent had been working for Lucas for almost eight years and he had only heard that once in the past.
Vincent’s face paled. “I’m sorry, Mr. Thomas.”
Lucas snuffed out his cigarette and said, “Get out.”
Vincent felt relieved. He then hurried to turn to leave the office.
Vincent walked out of the office with cold sweat all over his body. Just as he closed the door, he turned around and saw Hari walking over.
“Mr. Hartley.”
Hari was too grumpy to joke. He nodded and said, “Is Lucas in?”
Vincent nodded, “Mr. Thomas is a bit…”
Hari pushed the door open before Vincent could finish.
Hari entered the door and said to Lucas, “Lucas, you were fooled by Jessica. Do you know that?”
As soon as Hari finished speaking, he looked down and met Lucas’ emotionless eyes.
Hari had not seen Lucas like this for a long time. Although he had known Lucas for so many years, when Lucas looked at him with such a cold and ruthless gaze, Hari still felt a chill. “Have you learned what
Morgan said this morning? Jessica never thought about getting married to you. She was just…”
Bang!
Lucas suddenly threw a gadget out and smashed it against the bookcase to the side. The glass door was broken and the noise shut Hari up.
When Hari came back to his senses and wanted to say something, he heard Lucas’ cold voice, “Get out!”
Normally. Hari would have teased Lucas.
But today, he didn’t dare to say anything at all.
Glancing at the smashed bookcase glass, Hari pursed his lips and turned to leave the office.
Vincent had also heard the noise inside just now. Hari was in a hurry when he went in, so he didn’t even close the door. Vincent was trying to close the door for them, yet he didn’t expect Lucas’ sudden move. Vincent even trembled.
Hari didn’t look good, either. He was not mad at Lucas. It was just what Lucas had frightened him.
They had been friends for years. Yet Hari never saw Lucas lose his temper like this. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucas was cold-blooded and didn’t have a good temper. But he seldom lost it.
Hari only came back to his senses when he saw Vincent. Hari tried to tell Vincent something, but in the end, he decided to keep mum.
No matter who showed up at this point, Lucas would still lose his temper.
The best solution is to leave him alone and let him cool down by himself.
After all, Lucas had just been tricked by his beloved woman. It was a lot to take in.
