Chapter 829 She Works for the Rival
Currer Sullen flew into a fury at the sight of Lucia, only fixing on her with the resentful gaze.
Returning Currer's glare with her fearless gaze, Lucia gracefully got herself seated at the other end of the sofa. ' What a coincidence Miss Sullen is here too." she smiled softly.
The eagerness on Reggio Smith's face froze at her greeting to Currer. Do you know each other?" he asked in a harsh tone as he examined the two women narrowly.
Of course. I've known each other for years." Lucia raised her eyebrows.' Miss Sullen used to work for Cloud Technology, and we often vied for the projects in the bidding."
The tension on Reggio's face was soon replaced by the iconic smile of an educated gentlemen as he introduced the two parties to each other.
Lucia didn't listen to him carefully, nor was she interested in his introduction. She snorted when Reggio finally finished his presentation, ' It's not my business what Mr. Smith and Miss Sullen is up to. What I know is I didn't get due respect, and that leads to my resolve to cancel our cooperation. But why do you invite me in when it's getting too late?"
Mrs. Adams, I'm terribly sorry but I'm really too busy to attend to your affair today." explained Reggio. 'In fact, we are so good friends that you can enter my office freely without any making appointment beforehand."
His words had Currer and August turn to Lucia in astonishment, though out of different reasons.
Yet Lucia only replied to Reggio with a cold sneer, "It seems you've forgotten we are no friends since that night when we met in Austos International Hotel."
'Lucia..." Reggio hurried to explain in an agitated tone, "that was a mistake. I can make apologies to you if you do mind that matter."
There's no call for that. I came for the business rather than private apologies." she rejected coldly.
With a sigh in despair, Reggio exclaimed after a long monologue in some incomprehensible language, "Everyone knows I'm after you. I'll try my best to win over you heart and make you Mrs. Smith one day."
A snort came abruptly, which drew the attentions of everyone to August, who had always been reticent.
