Chapter 379
Eden came to her senses and looked at Amelia. She forced a faint smile and said, "Amelia, you can go and eat! I'm not hungry!"
She had no appetite to eat at the moment. She felt sad and her mind was filled with random thoughts.
She was on the verge of breaking down. She had to adjust her mentality and finish today's work. She liked to complete her tasks daily and would not put them off until the next day.
When Amelia heard that, she said, "Director Bleu, you have to eat something. Why don't I bring a sandwich for you? You can eat it when you are hungry!"
"Okay! Thank you, Amelia." Eden nodded.
Amelia got up and went out of the office to have lunch.
Eden was the only one left in the office. She shed her tough appearance and slumped wearily on the desk!
She felt like she had been living a tired life every day ever since she came back to River City!
She felt that she was getting closer to the truth and she felt an indescribable panic in her heart.
She rested her head on the desk for some time before she got up to work.
Eden did not take any action or eat anything the whole day and she got off work at one o'clock.
Anson had not returned to the company. Eden knew that he had gone to hold a meeting with the shareholders.
Victor, on the other hand, had never stepped out of his office. He did not even have lunch.
He had been working after he calmed down and he only left the office when he finished his work.
He headed to Eden's office.
When he passed by Lucian, Lucian said faintly without looking up at him, "Director Bleu has already got off work."
Victor stopped suddenly, looked sideways at him, and asked, "How did you know I was going to find Director Bleu?" Was his intention so obvious?
He had to admit that there were times when he was deeply impressed by Lucian.
Lucian did not raise his head and look at him. He tidied the items on his desk and was prepared to get off work. "Do I even have to think about that?"
Lucian's tone was plain when he said that.
Victor felt that he would only be asking for trouble if he tried to guess Lucian's thoughts.
Victor glanced at Eden's office. The lights had been turned off. She had really left!
Why did she get off work so early today?
He had even thought of sending Eden back so that he could comfort her.
Victor turned around and walked to his office in disappointment.
Lucian looked at Victor’s back when Victor walked past him and asked in a serious tone, "Victor, are you really serious?" He had kept those words hidden in his heart for a long time.
Victor's heart skipped a beat when he heard Lucian’s serious tone. He turned around quickly and looked at Lucian. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he scrutinized Lucian. He said in an extremely
serious tone, "Lucian, are you also serious?"
Lucian's warm and beautiful eyes met with Victor's. They were so calm that Victor could not read his thoughts.
Lucian replied indifferently, "I was serious before."
Victor's pupils constricted suddenly. He was about to speak when Lucian spoke first, "I have already given up because you like her."
Victor's pupils constricted once more.
"Hehe..." Victor laughed. "Lucian, I didn't expect you to end up like this."
Lucian replied, "I didn't expect you to end up like this too!"
"Thank you!" Victor spoke as he walked to his office.
Lucian suddenly stopped him and asked, "Victor, why don't you accompany me for a drink?"
Victor looked back at him and asked, "Will it be like last time?"
Lucian replied, "I will restrain myself!"
Victor said, "Wait for me for five minutes then."
Lucian replied, "Alright!"
Five minutes later, Victor and Lucian left the Alwynn Group.
Lucian drove Victor to a well-decorated and high-end bar in River City.
Lucian ordered his favorite wine and drank continuously with Victor at a card table. Neither of them spoke nor broke the silence.
It seemed like they were in their own world and the noisy surroundings seemed to have nothing to do with them!
Victor only spoke when he had finished his fifth glass, "Lucian, you've drunk so much. You're going to get drunk again tonight!"
Victor was not as patient as Anson and stayed by Lucian's side for the whole night.
Lucian fixed his gaze on Victor's handsome face and frowned slightly. "Don't worry! It is enough forthat kind of thing to only happen once!" He would not embarrass himself in front of others again!
He was the academics among the four of them and had graduated from the highest education institution. He lived his life the way he chose and had the choice to love the people he wanted to love.
However...
Lucian's heart was filled with bitterness.
Victor looked at him quietly when he heard that. "Lucian, you will meet a better woman!" His voice was very pleasant with a touch of hoarseness to it.
Lucian was more introverted than him. He would keep everything buried deep in his heart even though he appeared to be calm.
No matter how much pain he felt in his heart, he wouldn't show it in front of other people.
That was the Lucian whom Victor knew. He had always been like that since he was a child.
To put it in another way, Victor was also the same.
However, he had a way to relieve his emotional pain!
He would run when he was a child but he started doing exercises after he grew up!
Lucian did not experience as much as Victor did.
Even though he had a warm family, he had a reticent character. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Victor could not actually figure that out.
Victor suddenly remembered something and asked, "When will you go back to inherit your family business?"
All three of his best friends’ families were very wealthy and they had their own business. Lucian's family was the same.
Lucian picked up the wine glass and finished the wine in the glass. He swallowed the wine in a sexy manner and he looked extremely elegant.
Four or five women who were dressed glamorously nearby couldn't help looking at Victor and Lucian obsessively.
Lucian leaned back lazily. He lowered his head for a while before saying, "I don't have plans to go back for the time being!"
Victor smiled and said, "That’s great. You can continue to stay with me as my secretary!"
Lucian looked up and glanced at him coldly. He had a serious expression on his face and he exuded a mature and restrained aura. "Victor, I know that deep down, you're happy. You can't find a secretary more suitable than me here!" "That’s true!" Victor did not deny that.
Lucian smiled faintly and did not speak. He picked up his wine glass and drank another glass of wine.
He did not swallow the wine quickly this time but tasted it slowly instead. The delicate eyebrows furrowed and he had a sad expression on his face.
