Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 

Aurelia was quite intuitive. Although Leslie hadn’t said anything, she could still understand what he was trying to convey. 

At that moment, no one on the other side had spoken up except for Eva. Lucia, who was the most important person in the meeting room, had remained silent. 

Aurelia stood up with a smile and responded, “Ms. Hanks, how could you accuse us of denying responsibility? We’re obviously trying to have a proper discussion with you. Since we have differing opinions, let’s enjoy a cup of coffee and calmly discuss this. We have plenty of time anyway.” 

Eva was genuinely enraged. She picked up the cup and drank half of the coffee, but then. put it down with a grimace of disgust. 

“Did you actually serve us instant coffee?” she asked. 

“Sorry, I only saw instant coffee on the table,” Aurelia explained as her gaze subtly shifted toward Lucia. 

Lucia took a sip as well since her cup was still in her hand. She glanced around at the people around her, all of whom were drinking coffee. 

Unlike the others, she was holding a cup of tea instead. 

Aurelia actually went all out on that tea, which cost 700 dollars per pound. 

Lucia also realized something was amiss. She set her cup down and looked at Aurelia. 

Aurelia smiled amiably. She was confident that Lucia understood her intention. 

Aurelia had learned about Lucia’s preferences from the information Leslie showed her. When they happened to pass by a tea emporium on their way, she bought some black tea that Lucia enjoyed. 

She tailored her approach according to Lucia’s preferences. 

If Lucia realized her drink was different from everyone else’s, she’d naturally become suspicious. After sipping the tea and realizing that it was her favorite kind, she should have realized that Aurelia was trying to get her attention. 

After a brief moment of eye contact, Lucia forcefully set down her cup of tea and glared

“Ms. Hanks, we expect you to address the problem without stirring up further issues here. You should also be aware that the necklace was borrowed in the name of IN Magazine. If you can’t handle this well, everyone will be held accountable,” Lucia remarked. 

Lucia’s remark immediately shifted all the responsibility onto Eva. 

Eva was initially a bit frustrated, but she soon regained her composure. 

“Rest assured, Ms. Lawson. I’ll definitely take care of it,” said Eva. 

“Take care of it? In such a short time, the agreement you drafted has already become invalid. What else can you do to resolve this?” Lucia exclaimed angrily. 

Everyone present nodded in agreement, feeling that the situation had become more complicated than before. 

Eva was furious. She remembered how Lucia had been against her ever since she joined the company. After all, Lucia thought her frequent job changes meant she wasn’t reliable, and promoting her to a director position right away felt like a huge risk. 

Although she was already the fashion director, Lucia would find fault in all of her decisions. As a result, she had long been displeased with Lucia. 

Was Lucia trying to shift all the blame on her? Did she really think she would be frightened by that? 

Eva casually glanced at Lucia and said with certainty, “I can assure you that I’ll be able to solve it.” 

“Ms. Hanks, actions speak louder than words. What can you assure us of? Are you capable of ensuring IN Magazine’s credibility in Carlino?” Lucia questioned. 

Eva sensed the disdain in Lucia’s tone and stood up, stating, “If I can’t help the company solve this issue, I’m willing to step down as Fashion Director of IN Magazine.”
