In the super deluxe office, the high-level meeting of the Gray Group is in progress, and the chief financial officer is reporting the work.
Lucien slightly purses his lips and listens carefully.
The mobile phone on the table suddenly rings. Lucien takes up the phone and glances at the screen. The corners of his mouth slightly cock up, "Hello ~"
As Lucien says it, he stands up and walks out, leaving the CFO at a loss. She doesn't know if she should go on talking or wait for Lucien to come back.
The technical director next to her jokes, "Mr. Gray is on the phone. Wait for a while, please. Didn't you hear his voice just now? It's so soulful and as gentle as water. It must be a call from his girlfriend."
The chief executive officer also smiles, "Well, that "hello" is so sweet."
They have no sooner finished speaking than Lucien opens the door and comes in, "I have something to deal with. That's all for today."
That's all? None of them is caught off guard. This is the quarterly summary meeting. And the report is to be transmitted to the board of directors. How... does it end?
Lucien turns around and goes away, ignoring all eyes of doubt.
In the quietest corner of Starbucks, Nina orders a latte, but she can't drink it.
There is a fire burning in her heart, which makes her even breathing painful.
Lucien's tall and slender figure appears at the Starbucks door. Through the window and several rows of seats, he sees Nina at a glance. He walks straight to Nina with long steps.
