As the chief of the Cao Clan, Lucilla had seen a lot of people over the past ten years, and as a result, her insight had grown exponentially. Therefore, she could see at a glance that the man in front of her was not as simple as he looked. The reason why she came to the Osmanthus Yard was that Lucas had told her that Mr. Rookie had arrived and stayed in this place.
Originally, she had planned to send people to call Mr. Rookie over, but she later changed her mind. If this he was indeed very different from others, and if he could be helpful to the Cao Clan, then she certainly needed to know who he was first. However, she was still on guard against him, as she had not yet discounted the possibility that her two uncles, who were after the position of the clan chief, could have arranged this whole thing. After all, it wasn't the first time that something like this happened.
When she arrived at the Osmanthus Yard, she was told that Mr. Rookie had gone out. She planned to leave and come back later, but she saw an osmanthus tree that was blossoming in the yard, so she decided to stop for a while and enjoy the flowers.
Later, Rocky saw her admiring the flowers. At that moment, their eyes met underneath the shadow that the flowers cast, but they didn't say anything.
With her wit and experience, Lucilla immediately guessed that the man in front of her was the legendary Mr. Rookie.
And when Rocky saw her, he could tell that Lucilla was not an ordinary woman and probably a lady of the Cao Clan.
Silence reigned between them, but their minds were filled with questions, as they analyzed and observed each other. It was Rocky who broke the silence.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. The flowers are quite lovely, aren't they?" Rocky said with a smile but didn't bother to wait for a reply. He just nodded at her, and turned away to go back to his room.
At first, Lucilla was caught by surprise when he suddenly appeared, so she couldn't talk. But she was filled with confusion when he only made a passing comment and immediately turned to leave. After all, she was the chief of the clan, and most men would pay an arm and a leg just to get a moment with her. She was confident that she was alluring and irresistible, and yet, Rocky didn't even show interest. He didn't ask who she was, and he acted like he was blind to her beauty, which made her feel a little frustrated.
"You must be Mr. Rookie," Lucilla said in a soft but pleasant voice. It was enough to make him stop in his tracks and look back at her, and she suppressed a smirk when it seemed like he was about to fall for her charms.
"Miss, do you know me?"
Rocky asked with a confused look, and his head tilted to the side as if he was trying to remember something. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Rookie. I'm Lucilla Cao,"
she said in salutation. "Lucilla Cao...and Queenie Cao... Are you Queenie's sister?" As soon as he heard the name, he immediately thought of Queenie, and he was quick to ask her if they were related in any way.
"Yes, I'm Queenie's elder sister," Lucilla said with a nod.
"Oh, you are her elder sister! It's nice to meet you. May I know what brought you here, Miss Lucilla?" Rocky asked and cupped his hands to show respect.
"I came here to see you, Mr. Rookie," Lucilla said bluntly. However, it didn't escape her notice that he called her Miss Lucilla instead of addressing her as Chief Lucilla, so he probably didn't know that she was the chief of the Cao Clan.
