Monty felt that the three seemed to have a rather complicated relationship. So, he opened his mouth to ease the tensions. "Miss Webb should be Spencer's old acquaintance as she can take a joke made by Spencer."
Though Monty said so, Eduard still looked unhappy. He stood in front of Lucia to prevent Spencer from making eye contact with her.
Spencer was upset, but his face did not betray his emotions. He smiled politely at Eduard, turned sideways, and said to Lucia.
"Lucia, enjoy your time, I'll come back for you later."
Then he left with Monty and chatted with others. After all, his main purpose tonight was to meet more powerful people and pave the way for future development.
After Spencer left, Eduard stared at Spencer for a while. Spencer was laughing and joking with the others.
Then Eduard looked at Lucia and asked, "Lucia, how do you know such a refined rascal!"
A refined rascal?
Lucia laughed at Eduard's accurate description and replied, "I've met him a few times, but I don't know him well."
"Then why does he look like he knows you very well." Eduard was more upset. 'That guy just met Lucia a few times, but he looks so proud of it!'
Lucia said resignedly, "It's not like I can control his attitude. We know what's going on. That's enough."
Lucia was actually more upset than Eduard about Spencer. But as the executive of Jibillion Inc, she represented Jibillion, and she could not do anything that tarnished the image of Jibillion. So, she appeared much more tolerant than Eduard.
"Is it really nothing going on between you and Spencer?" Despite what Lucia said, Eduard felt that Spencer was being too intimate with her.
Lucia raised her eyebrows and gave Eduard a look, not bothering to talk to him anymore. She turned around to look at the vast night sky, wondering what Spencer was planning to do.
As the party continued, Eduard had to deal with those guests who came to him. Seeing Lucia in a bad mood, he took the people who come up to him away from her and coped with them alone.
Without the presence of Eduard who was talkative, Lucia enjoyed a moment of peace. The night breeze was pleasant, but she really wanted to go home now.
However, she could only feel lonely if she went back home where Theodore was not there.
In a depressed mood, Lucia took a glance at the luxurious venue and the upper-class people. She felt exhausted for no reason.
Without telling Eduard, Lucia walked out of the exit beside the venue entrance and left.
