It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 96

The strange atmosphere around Lucia and Lowell persisted. However, the k**s that day never happened again. Lowell did not take the initiative to do it again while Lucia deliberately kept a certain distance from him to prevent intimacy. It was as if what happened that night had never happened between them. But the atmosphere around them had already changed, that was certain.

The group chat on Lucia’s laptop kept flickering. In fact, they were making final preparations. Various ideas were constantly colliding, hoping to find the best way. So many words appeared on the screen, indicating that they were chatting passionately. It took a long time before the momentum finally stopped. Then they started talking about other trivial things.

“Lucia, when the result is confirmed, I will go to S City. Would you like to have dinner together sometime?”

One of them sent this message. Then the others suggested the same thing. After reading the messages, Lucia smiled and typed, “No problem.” It was the first time she decided to meet work friends under such circumstances. There was nothing wrong with meeting more people in her circle, so she couldn’t think of any reason to decline their invitation.

The planners who worked for Era Global Planning had more or less strange hobbies or ideas. That’s why they loved working as freelancers. If they wanted to meet, they had to find out in advance.

The four finalized the time and place they would meet and chatted for a little longer before all logging off. Lucia looked at the faded profile pictures on the screen and smiled. She shook her head and was about to turn off her laptop. But another discussion window opened.

“Still awake?” It was Lowell.

“I’m about to go to bed,” Lucia replied with a smile.

“You’re such a workaholic. I really hope you’re just a lazy person who reads novels in a cafe every day.”

“Well, it depends on my mood. I’m going to bed now.”

“How about dinner tomorrow?” »

“Sure. Just call me.”

“Alright good night.”

“Good night.”

After typing those last two words, Lucia shut down her laptop. Then she lay down on the soft bed and looked up at the stars in the sky. She was living a comfortable life recently. And she was so immersed in this feeling. With her current job, Lucia still felt the same sense of fulfillment as when she was previously at DZ Media. But this time she wasn’t as busy. Plus, she didn’t have to think about the disappointment and helplessness that marriage brought her. She just appreciated the tenderness Lowell gave her.

“Am I selfish? » She looked at the photo of her and Malcolm on her phone screen for a long time. Then she deleted it and the screen returned to its original state.

“It’s been a while now, Malcolm. You probably erased me from your memory too. Maybe I will see the news of your remarriage in the near future. We live in the same city. I may even meet Enoch. Why can’t I meet you? Are we destined to get lost?

At this thought, Lucia’s eyes darkened. It seemed that his happy mood had just disappeared. She sighed, drew the curtains and covered herself with the quilt. She didn’t want to think about Malcolm anymore.

It was late at night, but some people were still awake, thinking about different things in life.

A man was still sitting on the sofa indifferently. He rubbed his sore eyes with his hands and closed his laptop. Another man next to him handed him a glass of red wine. He took the glass gracefully and took a sip. He frowned and looked at the man next to him.

“Tandy, your taste seems to have deteriorated. How can I accept this kind of wine?” Obviously he wasn’t happy with the taste of the red wine in his glass. He shook off the remaining liquid and poured it into the potted plant on the table.

“I’m sorry, Commander. I thought you preferred tea recently,” Tandy said defiantly, raising her eyebrows.

“Ha ha! You still have the same character.” Hearing the commander’s laughter, the people around retreated silently. They left Tandy and Commander alone in the room. Tandy glanced at the man in front of him, who had looked strange, then put away the red wine on the table. He set up the tea tray and leisurely made tea.

“What’s the situation?” Commander asked casually.

“They found out that it was me who had done. But I’m not surprised. After all, its intelligence network is not inferior to ours.” There was a hint of appreciation in Tandy’s tone. “If they continued the investigation, they would discover a false identity, and nothing else . The dead cannot speak.” A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

“You did well.” The commander did not hesitate to congratulate him.

“But Commander, I still don’t understand. Why do you do that? What we did had no major effect on him. All we did was cause delays.” With bewilderment written all over his face, Tandy looked at the man in front of him. “

A war can destroy lives in a country. But a modern nuclear war can panic a country for many years. If you attack an enemy, will you give them a chance to recover? Or will you make sure they stay down?” The man said something insignificant and looked at Tandy indifferently.

“Commander, do you mean…?” Tandy didn’t finish her words.

The commander said nothing. He picked up the cup of tea, took a sip and put it down. Tandy looked at the man with complicated emotions in her eyes. Then the two just sat there in silence. Tandy continued to make tea while the Commander continued to drink it. No one took the initiative to say a word. Every now and then Tandy would stare at the commander for a moment.

At Evans Group, the planning department seemed to be in trouble. This department generally only did internal promotion planning. But they were also responsible for all matters related to planning external cooperation. At that time, the atmosphere in the planning department was a bit weird. The still invincible Evans group had encountered a difficult problem.

“What did you say?” Joel, the director of the planning department, roars. His face tightened in anger.

“Sir, we were sure of winning. There should be no problem getting this position. But the opponent is too powerful. We are now not sure of the outcome.

Evans Group was a famous brand. Shopping centers rarely refuse to display their products in the most visible areas. Perhaps this was why the staff had become lax and took this matter for granted. Naturally, it was easy for others to take advantage of their escape in such a situation. Others had found a better way. With the same competing products, the initial decision would likely be changed. Winning and losing were common in the business world.

Joel’s face immediately darkened. He had lost a battle he was so sure he would win. This would definitely have a big impact on his performance review this quarter. If he couldn’t find a better cure, he’d probably be out of office by the end of the year. After all, Evans Group did not keep unnecessary employees.

“Who are they?” Joel asked darkly.

“The other party hired independent planners from Era Global Planning. It was our negligence. We didn’t expect them to search for our target position,” the assistant explained.

“What is the current situation?” The frown on Joel’s face deepened. If their opponent was Era Global Planning, their chances of winning were really slim. Additionally, Era Global Planning followed a rule. They did not accept jobs from their clients’ competitors.

“The mall has made preliminary communication with them and also sent us an email, explaining the reason. Probably because they don’t want to offend either side. Sir, should we report this to the higher-ups? If anything something is wrong, we will all be punished.” The assistant’s voice was full of worry.

“You can leave now. I’ll manage. I don’t need you to tell me what to do,” Joel said in exasperation.

He then typed up a report explaining the current situation and emailed it to his immediate supervisor. Then he paced around his office, occasionally looking at the phone on his desk. He was afraid it would ring and give him nightmares.

If only Era Global Planning wasn’t involved in this matter, perhaps his email would only reach his immediate superior. But as it was, his email was forwarded to Bob, Malcolm’s assistant.

Bob read it carefully. Then he lowered his head and thought for a moment. Era Global Planning talent was what every business wanted. After all, they were independent. They were not employed by Era Global Planning. What’s more, they were able to change the almost decided outcome. This really piqued his interest.

Bob picked up the phone and inquired about the planners involved in the project through special channels. And when he saw Lucia’s name on the list, he was so surprised that he dropped his pen on the floor. He ran downstairs with the document and went to Enoch’s office.

“What is this?” Enoch asked in confusion as he looked at Bob. He has rarely seen Bob with such a pale face.

Bob had worked for Malcolm for a long time. No matter how serious the situation was, the expression on his face did not change. Sometimes Enoch even thought Bob was a robot with a human brain. He was absolutely expressionless. It was rare to see him panicked. So Enoch was full of curiosity.

“Mr… Mrs. Evans…” Bob didn’t know where to start. In the end, he simply put the document on Enoch’s desk and remained silent.

As much as he could, he wanted to stay out of his boss’s private affairs. In matters involving Lucia, intelligent people must learn to ask for instructions. Regarding the replacement of the business model for perfume advertising last time, everyone took it for granted. As a result, they were severely punished by Malcolm. This time something new happened while Malcolm was away. If he made the decision himself, he would probably have to kill himself after Malcolm returned.

” Lucy? For what? What’s wrong with her?” When Enoch heard Lucia’s name, he seemed a little nervous.

He glanced at Bob, who was hesitant to speak, and lowered his head to look at the document. The more he read the information , the darker it looked.

‘Oh my God! What is that? Why does Lucia always cause trouble when Malcolm isn’t around? What are these people doing who watch over her every day? Why didn’t they discover anything? Enoch suddenly felt cold sweat break out from his back. He could already imagine what he would be like after Malcolm found out.

He remembered the day he met Lucia. It seemed that she was not going shopping that day but was taking a survey in the mall. Enoch let out a long sigh. His head hurt suddenly.

“Sir, what should we do now? » Bob asked dutifully.

“Let her do what she wants. The loss doesn’t matter. Malcolm will say the same thing when he finds out,” Enoch thought for a while and said helplessly.

“Yes sir.” Bob was still hesitant, but he said nothing more and quickly left Enoch’s office.

As soon as Bob left, Enoch picked up his phone. He had to call Malcolm and report what happened. But before he could dial Malcolm’s number, the phone on his desk suddenly rang. He thought for a moment, put down his phone and answered.

A slight delay in Malcolm’s call wouldn’t cause much trouble. But after that phone call, Enoch didn’t expect that he was so busy dealing with urgent issues that he forgot to call Malcolm.
