Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136
Luna raised her arm and pointed to the table. Jessica turned to look. The coffee cup at Jessica’s side was indeed gone. And the empty cup on the floor was Jessica’s.
Seeing that Jessica was silent, Luna turned to Lucas. “Lucas, don’t blame Miss Hall. She really didn’t push me too hard. It was my problem. I’m too fragile after that car accident.”
“Why did Mr. Thomas suddenly come to our company? Are you here to save the beauty, big hero? Jessica snorted as she looked at Lucas, whose face was stern and brows knitted.
Trissy called me.”
Lucas was working in his office when he received a call from Trissy.
Trissy said anxiously that Luna planned to leave LA because she was not recovering well.
And Luna wanted to do something for Lucas before leaving, so she had gone to Jessica herself.
Trissy called Lucas and told him she feared that Luna would be bullied.
After getting that call, Lucas immediately put down his work and drove to the Hall Group.
Lucas collected his thoughts and looked at Jessica with concern. Are you alright?”
Jessica raised her eyebrows, wondering if Lucas was blind. The one who didn’t look alright was standing on the other side.
Jessica crossed her arms in front of her chest and sighed. “I’m fine. It’s just that I’m a little tired after wasting so much time listening to Miss Cheek’s nonsense.”
When Luna found out that Lucas had only been paying attention to Jessica ever since he came and didn’t even look at her, she gritted her teeth with anger.
Luna suddenly covered her arm and softly exclaimed.
Jessica and Lucas both turned to Luna. Luna then bit her lips and said, ‘I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s just that I bumped my arm when I fell:
“If you know you are not in good health, don’t run around. Since you are fine and have nothing important to talk about, you should just go back.’ Lucas looked at Luna and said impatiently.
With that, Luna was dumbfounded on the spot, and Jessica could not help but laugh out loud.
“B.. but, Lou,” Luna muttered, in disbelief, “Miss Hall pushed me just now.”
“Didn’t you say you were fine?’ Lucas said with a frown.
“I’m sorry, Miss Cheek. I didn’t mean to interrupt your makeup story. I just want to remind you that the Hall Group is not like the Cheek company, which can’t even afford to install surveillance cameras.”
Jessica then turned to Lucas. “Since Mr. Thomas is here, I’ll go back to the meeting.”
Jessica turned to leave after saying that. She heard Lucas say to Luna behind her, “I’ll ask Vincent to drive you home. Stay at home after you’re back. I’ll send you to Boston next month. There are good hospitals there. You can stay there for recuperation.”
“No, I’m not going there. Lou, let me stay in LA. I won’t cause you any more trouble. Luna’s voice trembled when she heard that. She panicked.
This was totally unexpected. Luna failed to make Lucas hate Jess ca, and Lucas even wanted to send Luna away.
Although Luna had experienced great pain physically, she wouldn’t have recovered that soon if Lucas hadn’t helped her financially.
After Luna arrived in LA, it was also Lucas who took care of her and Trissy. Luna was already used to living such a luxurious life, so how could she be willing to return to her previous life?
Jessica had just returned to the office when she saw Wendy walking in with a stack of documents in her arms.
“Miss Hall, are you alright?”
Wendy also knew that Lucas had dropped by. She was worried that Lucas would take Luna’s side and bully Jessica with Luna.
“I’m fine. It’s Miss Cheek who is in trouble.” Jessica smiled. She thought of Lucas’ attitude just now and still found it a little unbelievable.
This time, Lucas didn’t question Jessica at all.
After Lucas had Vincent send Luna back, he returned to his office.
Just as Lucas sat down, he received a message from Hari.
It was a photo taken by a paparazzo, and the people in the photo were Terry and a young woman, who were walking together to a hotel.
Hari sent this photo to Lucas, not for gossip.
Hari did that mainly for Lucas’ good. Terry had been chasing Jessica for quite some time. Hari thought he should let Lucas know about the latest update.
Lucas glanced at the photo in the message and put down his phone. He lit a cigarette and recalled what had happened at the Hall Group just now.
Lucas’ phone vibrated again.
Lucas bent his head and saw that it was Hari’s message again.
