Chapter 39 A Serious Man is the Most Handsome
Lucia finished the formalities and went downstairs. Arthur was sitting in the car, waiting for her downstairs. She did not know how long he had waited, but was moved to tears. When he saw her coming out of the office, Arthur got out of the car and gave her a big hug.
It was the first time they had ever been so intimate, even though they were clearly in a relationship. Lucia blushed and shyly didn’t want Arthur to see her, so she put her chin behind his ear and whispered.
“I don’t want anything. I just feel so happy to be cared for.”
Arthur hugged Lucia around her waist. “Well, it will always be like this.”
That was a guarantee Arthur could make.
Hearing Arthur’s words, Lucia felt warm in her heart and asked her doubts, “Arthur, why are you being so nice to me?”
Arthur could only give a plausible answer, “Because I want to.”
That’s a perfectly standard Arthur answer. Lucia laughed when she heard this. As an engineering boy, Arthur never spoke any flowery language, but he was also the most impressionable.
“In the future, I will care about you the same way.” Lucia could not be the only one who enjoyed happiness. As one partner in a relationship, she also showed him that she cared.
“Really?” Arthur curled his mouth and turned to look at Lucia’s face. However, Lucia was now shy and did not want him to see her blush, so she hid behind his ear even more, but she did not know that this would make her breath spit in his sensitive ears, and would stir Arthur’s senses.
Arthur simply clasped Lucia around the waist and forcibly turned her towards him, kissing her as his eyes caught her rosy cheeks.
The warm and soft touch on her lips caught Lucia off guard. Instead of trying to run away, as she had done the first time, the only thing she could do this time was to hug Arthur by the neck and let herself drift with him.
After returning home, Lucia and Arthur found infinite happiness in a simple lunch and a few small dishes. After the noon break, Arthur told Lucia to get ready for the afternoon launch.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Arthur was cold and intolerant of others, but when Lucia stood beside him, the expression on his face became gentler. Even his pace slowed to match hers, which would make one wonder how this happened.
Lucia’s beauty, of course, needed no further elaboration. People who knew her would naturally imagine a beautiful woman who was competent and powerful in the workplace. After all, she was the CEO of Jibillion Inc. But when she stood next to Arthur, this competence was replaced by softness, and strength was replaced by tenderness.
When the two of them walked into the Branch of Davonnis building, dressed in identical suits, it was as if they were gods and goddesses, ignoring everything but each other.
They were more than a match! They were a perfect match!
Arthur, of course, was aware of the employees’ attentions and knew that they were mostly directed at Lucia, so she was very jealous.
Sensing Arthur’s jealousy, Lucia was amused and said jokingly, “Didn’t you make me wear the same color suit specifically? That’s why we caught their attention.”
“I did it so everyone would know you were mine!” Arthur was more jealous than ever. If it weren’t for the fact that they were all members of his own company, he would have responded to them one by one with a look that could kill.
Arthur wanted to hide Lucia. As he thought, Arthur took Lucia’s hand and sped toward the elevator. Lucia smiled and followed in his footsteps.
The whole building was occupied by Branch of Davonnis. Arthur’s office was on the top floor. When the elevator reached the top floor, Lucia marveled at the layout of the top floor.
The floors were almost empty except for the basic support columns, and the walls were uniformly painted a pleasant light blue, which looked like a blue sky at first glance.
Arthur’s office was at the left end of the floor, and Kyle’s secretary seat was set up about five meters back. Next to the seat was a rest area for visitors to wait. There were simple but warm high-end sofas and end tables in the rest area, which looked very comfortable.
They passed through a lobby filled with fast-paced sounds, then took the elevator to the quiet, empty floor.
“It’s so quiet…” Lucia couldn’t help but praise. Some executives liked to locate their offices near their employees’ workspaces so they could watch them work at any time, but Arthur certainly had no qualms about that.
“Yes, indeed.” The layout was designed by Arthur himself, naturally because he didn’t like to be disturbed.
While they were talking, Kyle, who was in the secretary’s chair, saw Lucia coming back and stood up to greet her. Her eyes obviously changed when she saw Lucia, and she couldn’t hide the sense of surprise. However, after she saw her director’s “tough” eyes, Kyle quickly looked away.
“Mr. Davies, everything is in order.”
“Okay, come and remind me when the time is up.” Arthur glanced at Kyle and took Lucia back to his office.
“Do you always scare your secretary like that?” Lucia asked amusingly, glancing back at Kyle, who had returned to the secretarial table. She didn’t miss Arthur glaring at Kyle just now.
Arthur would not confirm or deny it.
Lucia smiled and said nothing. They arrived at Arthur’s office and opened the door. Lucia looked at the layout curiously.
It was… Arthur’s low-key luxury.
The office was minimalist, with minimal furniture and no fancy items for ostentation other than essential necessities.
But what remained were absolutely simple yet elegant luxuries. There was no clutter to be seen on the tables or shelves, and the papers were neatly and meticulously arranged. As soon as you saw it, you knew it was an office space.
“Sit wherever you like. I’m gonna check the files.” We still had some time before the launch. Arthur had some business to attend to, so he let Lucia kill time by herself.
Lucia reached for the steaming aroma of the coffee and took a sip of it. The warmth flowed into her stomach. She wouldn’t mess with Arthur’s work. Instead, she drank coffee and watched him work.
Immersed in his work, Arthur looked at each document cleanly and intently. Kyle would come in after a while to assist him or bring in papers for him to sign, but the rest of the time the office was quiet.
Lucia liked the silence and unconsciously began to sit on the sofa and stare at Arthur in a daze, holding her chin. This man was really handsome at work.
Until now, Lucia still had a sense of unreality that Arthur did not belong to her. After all, this man was too perfect, and he was the father of her own child. When thinking of this coincidence, Lucia still felt a little stunned.
Lucia was in a daze, and the number of papers on Arthur’s desk was also decreasing. An hour passed quickly. When Arthur finished his work, he looked up and saw Lucia with a misty look in her eyes.
Arthur smiled when he saw her eyes on him.
