It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 183

Two more years passed. Kathy and Lowe were both two years old. No matter how bloody a wound was, it could slowly heal over time, but the scar left by unforgettable heartbreak could never be erased. Sometimes it pricked people’s nerves to remind them of what had happened in the past.

It took Lucia five years to force herself to become stronger. Over the past five years, Lucia had changed a lot, with Tandy’s help. From now on, Lucia could take charge of the Dresse group alone as CEO. His position was now assured. Following Dresse Group tradition, she never appeared in front of the media or outsiders. Few people other than some senior executives at the Dresse Group knew Lucia.

In the office, after signing the last document today and handing it to her assistant Johnny, Lucia collapsed into the chair. She rubbed her sore eyes and leaned back in the chair, dozing. Lucia had lived such a tense and busy life for four years. At least when she was pregnant, Lucia never thought that she would continue to live such a life. Such a life was even crazier than hers when she worked for Domain Media.

The time for meals and rest was uncertain, and the documents to be processed were always piled up like a mountain. She could only take care of her own business. She had countless subordinates, who lived off her. The deepest feeling Lucia had had in recent years was that it was not easy to hold a high position.

People have always dreamed of holding a high position one day. But when they actually got such a position, they would find that the pressure and burden the position placed on them had already exceeded what they could bear. Lucia’s stomach began to hurt, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten dinner yet.

Suddenly his phone rang. Lucia wearily opened her eyes and glanced at the caller ID. The energy she had lost suddenly returned to her. The two cute children could always inadvertently bring him infinite gratification. The only thing Lucia didn’t regret in her life was that she had this pair of angels that belonged to her.

“Mom, I’m Kathy. I miss you.” Kathy’s soft voice came from the other end of the line.

“Kathy, Mom misses you too. » Lucia’s voice softened unconsciously, like that of a spoiled child.

Kathy was getting better and better at making people happy, but in fact she was as clever as a little fox. She had a sense of propriety and could make everyone around her happy. Her sweet voice would only make everyone like her, but wouldn’t annoy anyone. It was Kathy’s innate charm.

“Mom…Tandy is back.” Kathy carefully reported to Lucia everything that had happened around her.

“Are you pestering Tandy again?” Lucia teased her daughter.

“No no No. He’s with Lowe. I don’t know what secret they’re talking about.” Kathy swung.

“Then you can ask Tandy to talk to Mom. That way Lowe and Tandy couldn’t talk about any secrets. What do you think?” Lucia talked with her daughter patiently.

“Okay,” Kathy said, still in a soft voice.

Soon the phone was hung up. Lucia could only hear Kathy’s rapid footsteps. She shook her head helplessly and smiled weakly. She waited quietly until the phone was picked up again. Since recovering from childbirth, Tandy left and continued living her previous life as a mercenary. Since then, he had not intervened in any matters of the Dresse group or the Fredrickson family. Unless Lucia mentioned it, he would never talk about such things with Lucia. It was as if he had never participated.

“Lucia, it’s Tandy. His low, firm voice came from the other end of the line.

“How have you been these past two years?” » Lucia asked worriedly.

“Fine. What about you? You must have been very busy, but you have become like a fish in water. Your abilities are truly beyond my expectations. Adversity has not forced you to a dead end, but you allowed us to create a new world.” There was admiration for Lucia in Tandy’s tone.

“Without you, I wouldn’t have become who I am today. Thank you, Tandy,” Lucia said with a smile. She was grateful to Tandy from the bottom of her heart.

“This is what I have to do. Do you have time? How about we have dinner together?” Tandy extended an invitation.

“Sure, I’ll treat you to dinner.” The time and place is up to you,” Lucia agreed without hesitation.

Lucia hadn’t seen Tandy in two years. She knew more about him from Kathy, because Tandy often called Kathy, listened to her sweet voice, and carefully answered all her questions. Lucia never knew that Tandy was so patient before, but later she knew that her patience was only for Kathy. When confronting Lowe, Tandy became serious, treating Lowe as if the boy was an adult. It seemed that Lowe was also used to Tandy’s way of communicating.

Lucia shook her head helplessly. Sometimes the ways people got along were so subtle. Everyone had their own way of getting along. This was also one of Lucia’s experiences over the years. Faced with different people, she had to use different routes. She had to know how to take advantage of it. This was one of the reasons why Lucia could still hold her position without any objection.

“I’ll come get you downstairs.” See you in an hour,” Tandy said quickly.

“Okay. I will wait for you.”

After saying that, Lucia hung up the phone. She put the phone back on the desk casually. It was already half past six in the evening. The most important thing for Europeans was the time spent in family. They would never work overtime casually. At this time, there were only a few lights in the office building. The rest of the people had already returned from work. Looking at the heavy traffic outside Outside the French window, Lucia was lost in thought.

Each city had its own view, while the only thing in common was the scene of heavy traffic. Her life of the past five years was gradually returning to the “Lucia’s spirit. Only those who had been through all kinds of trials could understand her.

During the first year after Lowell’s death, Lucia was pregnant and continued to receive all the information from Tandy. In the simplest way , Tandy helped Lucia familiarize herself with all the affairs of the Dresse Group as quickly as possible. He taught Lucia how to read financial statements, how to find flaws, and how to make different decisions for different people. It seemed Tandy never taught her knowledge in a serious way.

Sometimes he would inadvertently bring up a problem and ask Lucia how to solve it. Lucia gave a superficial answer based on her understanding and experience working as a city planner over the past few years, but Tandy directly adopted Lucia’s decision. When Lucia learned that the question was no longer what he had assumed, but something that had actually happened in the Dresse group, she was stunned. When she asked him why he did that, his answer was simple.

“Only in this way can you have the deepest understanding of every decision you make. It is impossible to succeed in a war on paper without practice. Your decisions may be right or wrong, but at least you should participate. You will then know where you are right and where you are wrong. It might also remind you not to make decisions casually. Every decision you make is linked to the livelihood of at least thousands of people.”

Tandy’s tone was neither light nor heavy, but her every word touched Lucia’s heart. When Tandy asked her questions again, Lucia thought twice before giving the answer. And Tandy always followed Lucia’s decisions and never changed them. If Lucia made a big mistake in her judgment, he would remind her. In this way, Lucia spent the first year carefully. Then she received the birth of two new lives.

Three months after Lucia gave birth, she made a complete recovery and Tandy left her without looking back. Lucia could only live on her own. She had never even seen anyone working in the Dresse group. Lucia had been proud since she was a child, so she would not compromise easily with anyone else. She clearly remembered that the first day she joined the Dresse Group, the senior executives looked at her with disdain and sneer in their eyes.

Lucia knew what they were thinking. Without Lowell, Lucia would never have been in such a high position in her life. Society was cruel and realistic. No matter how capable one was, if they didn’t have opportunities or supports, they would always struggle at the bottom of society. Even if they were outstanding at the bottom of society, they could never touch the top of the pyramid.

“Ms. Lucia, we do not agree with your decision on this matter.” A senior manager directly rejected Lucia’s proposal in Spanish and English.

Lucia just gave him an indifferent look and quickly refuted each of the senior executive’s questions in fluent Spanish. In the end, he was defeated and stopped questioning. At this moment, the feeling of accomplishment of fighting alone returned to Lucia. Lucia stubbornly held on to the questioning voices of these old foxes.

Finally, one day, the old foxes changed the way they called Lucia. They started calling him, “CEO.” Lucia knew that she had already won the approval in their hearts, but it was only approval, which was not enough to make her completely gain a foothold.

This happened in his second year. At this time, Lucia was becoming more and more mature and stable. Adversity did not defeat her, but made her stronger. Her long hair had been cut after Lowell’s death. Since then, she wore her hair short, which made her look capable and agile. A trace of sharpness and added sophistication in his eyes.

The third year, under the leadership of Lucia, the Dresse group developed steadily. She was in no hurry to expand the range of their power, but strengthened the original European market. When an economic crisis broke out in the European Union, Lucia’s calmness allowed the Dresse Group to avoid these possible risks. That year, the group’s performance soared and it became the only company not to suffer losses during the economic crisis.

At the end of this year, while other companies were suffering greatly and the unemployment rate continued to rise, the Dresse group on the other hand offered the most abundant annual bonus, becoming the most popular company in Europe in the ‘year. That year, no one on the board had any objection to Lucia’s decisions. Lucia had become the backbone of Dresse Group invisibly, just like the previous Lowell. She was the queen of the Dresse group.

From fourth grade until now, Lucia had played regularly. In the thirty-first year of her life, she finally began to expand Dresse Group worldwide. With her ambition and her ideal, she made the “Dresse Group” universes shine throughout the world. However, Lucia was always cautious regarding the Chinese market and she avoided any cooperation related to the Evans Group. She used her own way to protect her heart, which was no longer strong. She disguised herself with an iron wall as an omnipotent queen.

Time hasn’t left many marks on Lucia’s face. In private, Lucia still preferred jeans, sneakers and loose t-shirts. Facing strangers, she wore short hair, formal suits, coupled with high heels. The grace accumulated over time was enough to allow him to look around at all living things in an imposing manner.

It was Lucia, the reborn phoenix.
