The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1164

Chapter 1164

Meanwhile, Lucian was having a weekly wrap-up meeting in a conference room at Farwell Group.

Members of the upper management apprehensively looked at Lucian, who was sitting at the end of the table.

They had been cautious for the past two days, for Lucian seemed to be in a bad mood.

The tension in the conference room was so thick one could cut it with a knife, and when it was time for progress reports, they all walked on eggshells, fearing a single mistake from them would send Lucian flying into a rage.

The directors of departments with terrible performances didn’t even dare to raise their heads during the meeting.

Everyone held their breaths in dread until a knock came on the door.

The director who was presenting stopped talking and followed the lines of sight of his colleagues. Everyone in the conference room focused their attention on the door.

The door opened to reveal an awkward Cayden standing in the doorway, holding a phone.

Cayden shot an apologetic smile at the rest before turning to look at Lucian with a troubled expression. “Mr. Farwell, your phone.”

Lucian, who was already in a bad mood, got even more furious when the meeting was disrupted. His expression turned stonier than ever, and he was seconds away from chewing Cayden out.

On second thought, however, he figured Cayden had been working for him long enough to know not to disturb a meeting unless there was something important.

Lucian suppressed his anger at that thought and gestured for Cayden to bring his phone over.

Cayden discreetly let out a sigh of relief and hurried into the room. He even clicked on the text message, displaying it on the screen before handing it over to Lucian.

When Lucian reached for the phone, Cayden deliberately glanced at the screen, implying Lucian to look at it.

Noticing Cayden’s out-of-the-ordinary behavior, Lucian followed his line of sight and dropped his gaze to the phone.

With a glance, Lucian caught the name “Jarvis” on the screen.
