Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 492

This provocation could not be more obvious.

Mace Smith’s expression suddenly turned dark.

He shouted, “Joel Foster, what do you mean by this?!”

Joel shrugged and said, “It means whatever you think it means.”

Lucy Katz could smell the gunpowder igniting between the two and secretly cursed.

‘What is Joel doing?’

She did not think too much and quickly wedged herself between both men and laughed superficially.

“Second Young Master Joel, you certainly know how to crack a joke. Mace and I are already engaged. What show are you talking about? Mace, you should know that Second Young Master Foster was just teasing you. How could you take it so seriously?”

Lucy distinctively drew a line between who was close and distant.

Mace’s complexion improved drastically.

He smiled and stroked Lucy’s head, “Lucy, you’re right. I took it too seriously. Second Young Master Foster, allow me to apologize for my earlier behavior.”

Joel’s eyes immediately turned a thick dark color, like the sky before a thunderstorm.

He ground his teeth and seethed, “Lucy Katz!”

His heart was burning with anger and jealousy. He felt like he was going insane.

Lucy’s heart shrunk. She was still a little afraid of him.

This was not the time for them to mess around.

Lucy’s voice turned cold and she even changed the way she addressed him.

“President Foster, we’re not that close.”

Since she changed the way she addressed him, the ruthlessness at the bottom of Joel’s heart was instantly aggravated.

“Ha! Not close? Are you sure? That day...”

Joel paused.

He felt like he was going crazy.

Yes. He had to be out of his mind, else why would he bring that up at this time? She had previously forbidden him from saying it out loud.

As he imagined, Lucy’s pretty face suddenly blackened and her voice became sharper.

“I don’t know what President Foster is referring to. If seeing me makes President Foster upset, please let me know. From now on, let’s just go our separate ways. Why would you joke about this?”

Lucy’s words were a clear warning that if he dared to speak another word of this, she would cut off all ties with him.

‘This was enough.’

‘At least this proved that something went on between them and they were not at all strangers like she mentioned earlier.’

Joel laughed bitterly deep down inside. Lucy Katz, was he under her spell? Why else would he waste his time on her?

Too bad no one could answer him.

This included Lucy Katz.

Joel quickly regained his composure. He lazily lifted his eyes and scoffed, “Ms. Katz, you know I’m just messing around. Why are you getting mad?”

Lucy instantly felt relieved.

He still had a touch of sanity.

As long as Joel did not insist on bringing her down, they could still salvage the situation.

Lucy looked up at him, smiled politely, and replied, ”Please forgive me for being so impulsive, Second Young Master Foster.”

She then grabbed Mace and pulled him towards the entrance of the party.

Joel tried to suppress his agony and could only stare longingly at Lucy’s back as she walked away from him.

‘Lucy. Lu…’

He said softly in his heart.

At this moment, a woman hugged him from behind and asked, “Joel, what are you doing?”

Joel turned around and did not have the time to hide the sadness in his eyes.

He quickly turned away and replied, “Jada, you’re here.”
