Chapter 97 Set Lucia Up
"Are you sure he will come back on 15th?" Poppy confirmed suddenly and solemnly.
"Well, it is."
"Okay, then let's set the time on that day and let he see Lucia's true face!" Poppy's voice was powerful, as if she was really doing something right.
"Miss Powell, I want to remind you again. Our purpose this time is to let Arthur see Lucia's true face, not to deliberately induce Lucia to do something she wouldn't do. You have to recognize this. If there is another element to the process, then I'll quit immediately and tell Arthur the truth."
In the end, Juliana still didn't quite believe Poppy's character. She cared about Arthur, but she didn't want to use despicable means to induce Lucia to make mistakes. It was a matter of principle.
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I will only create opportunities for Lucia and her lover to be alone. When the time comes, Lucia will show her true face and I will never interfere her." Poppy assured Juliana.
"That's good. I'll wait for your good news." Juliana hung up the phone after talking about it.
After the phone call, Poppy puckered immediately and said contemptuously, "She's worked with me to frame Lucia. Why pretending lofty?!"
As soon as Poppy finished speaking, the bedroom door was opened. Jacob, who had just returned from the company, walked into the room. Poppy immediately put down the phone and smiled to greet him. She said coquettishly,
"Jacob, why do you suddenly come back?"
It was 10 in the morning. Jacob should still be at the company.
"I heard from my subordinates that you bought a lot of hallucinogenic drugs from the black market. Poppy, what do you want to do?" Jacob had been following Poppy's movements. This morning, he heard from his subordinates that Poppy sent people to buy the drugs, and immediately went home to ask her about it.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Who leaked this out?
Poppy looked down. On the surface, she pretended to be calm and replied, "Buy it and prepared to use it later." "Prepare?" Jacob raised his eyebrows when he heard this, obviously not believing Poppy's words.
"You know now Lucia wants to screw us. I prepare some hallucinogens in case I need it, can't I?" Faced with Jacob's doubts, Poppy raised her tone and used bluff to cover up her guilty conscience.
"Of course you can..." Jacob replied coldly, and then said casually, "Poppy, we are one, and we should act in the same way. Don't be impulsive and do irreversible things yourself."
"I know," Poppy sensed Jacob's tone soften and her voice immediately turned softer. She leaned into her husband's arms and said softly, "There are no secrets between us." "Yes, no secrets," replied Jacob.
As a couple, the two seemed to have reached an agreement on the surface, but in fact they each had different thoughts.
On the evening of the 14th, Juliana took the initiative to come to Lucia's house, and asked Lucia if she wanted to participate in a public welfare activity tomorrow. This was an activity organized by the city's public welfare foundation. Many famous entrepreneurs will be invited to participate in the opening ceremony. Of course, she knew that Eduard and Lucia will be there.
"Julia, are you interested in it?" Lucia was surprised. There was indeed an opening ceremony for a charity event tomorrow. Eduard was one of the ribbon-cutters.
"Well, I'm very interested in public welfare. Can you take me to attend tomorrow?" Juliana asked immediately.
"No problem," Lucia pondered, "It's just that I have to accompany my boss tomorrow. I may not be able to take care of you all the time."
"It's okay. I want to see what I can do. After all, everyone has a share in public welfare. Besides, I'm also very curious about your boss. I heard that he took the seat of the CEO of Jibillion Inc of European Region at a young age." Juliana suddenly turned the topic to Eduard.
Lucia looked at Juliana, and vaguely felt that it was a bit weird for Juliana to mention Eduard at this time. The two people had never met before. Why did she suddenly say that she was curious about him? "Lucia, why are you so stunned?" Seeing Lucia staring at her without saying a word, Juliana pretended not to know anything.
"No, it's just a little accidental that you will be curious about Eduard." Lucia bluntly stated her doubts.
Hearing Lucia calling Eduard's name affectionately, the contempt and disgust in Juliana's heart reached a peak, but she smiled and replied,
"Are you surprised? Arthur mentioned him that he helps you at work. I think this person should have a good character. It would be nice to have a chance to get to know him."
Lucia's doubts did not disappear by Juliana's words. One was a business elite and the other was an archaeologist. They had nothing to do with each other. Arthur said that Juliana's family was rich, and she didn't need a so-called business marriage to maintain the family. Why did she suddenly mention her boss?
However, although Lucia had some doubts in her heart, out of her trust in Arthur, she did not speculate on Juliana's intentions, but just smiled and reminded her,
"Eduard's character is good, but the tidbits keep going. Julia, if you're interested in him, you'd better be cautious."
Because Juliana was Arthur's childhood friend, even though Eduard was Lucia's immediate boss, Lucia still put forward her views on Eduard's private life pertinently. But in Juliana's eyes, this behavior was like food aggression, as if Lucia was afraid that Juliana will steal her lover. Juliana smiled and nodded, hiding all her thoughts in her jet-black eyes.
"I don't think it's a big deal. After all, he is single. To find a suitable partner, you can only contact as many people as possible."
"Okay, then Eduard and I will pick you up tomorrow." Seeing that Juliana didn't care about that, Lucia said with a smile.
The next day, after communicating with Eduard, Lucia went with him to pick up Juliana
After picking up Juliana, the three people set off to the opening ceremony site together. In the car, Lucia tried to find a topic to talk with Juliana and Eduard, but the strange thing was that Eduard took the conversation, but Juliana was not. It seemed that Juliana didn't want to speak too much, and it ended up being Lucia and Eduard chatting.
Lucia arrived at the opening ceremony in an unexplained mood. Today's opening ceremony was very grand. Even the mayor came to the venue, so Lucia and Eduard immediately began to socialize as soon as they arrived. Juliana, who was by their side, did not show any signs of discomfort, follow them leisurely.
