Chapter 39 A Man at Work Is the Hottest
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 she felt very moved. 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, but she didn't want Arthur to see it because she found it embarrassing. So she put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear.
"I don't want anything. I just feel so happy to be cared for."
Arthur put his arms around her waist. "Well, I'll take care of you forever."
It was a promise Arthur could make.
Lucia was touched by Arthur's words and asked the question she had always wanted to ask, "Arthur, why are you being so nice to me?"
Arthur could only give a plausible answer, "Because I want to."
Typical Arthur! Lucia laughed when she heard this. As a boy who did not know much about romance, Arthur never sweet talked her, but his words were often the most touching.
"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 buried her face in his shoulder. But she did not know that this would make her breath on his sensitive ears and turn him on.
Arthur clasped Lucia around the waist and forcibly turned her towards him, kissing her as his eyes caught her rosy cheeks.
The warmth and softness 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 to be drenched in love.
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 press conference held in the afternoon. 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 his change happened.
Lucia was absolutely gorgeous. People who knew her would naturally imagine her as a competent and powerful beauty in the workplace. After all, she was the CEO of Jibillion Inc. But when she stood next to Arthur, her tenderness prevailed over her strong personalities.
When the two walked into Branch of Davonnis wearing matching suits, they had everyone's attention. But they ignored all of it and only focused on each other. They were really a perfect match!
Arthur, of course, was aware of the employees' attention and knew that most of it was directed at Lucia, so jealousy surged through him.
Sensing Arthur's jealousy, Lucia was amused and said jokingly, "It's your idea to wear matching suits. 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 him.
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 away from Arthur's office. Next to the seat was a rest area for visitors to wait. There were sofas and tables in simple style and warm color placed in the rest area, which looked very comfortable.
They passed through a lobby filled with sounds made by busy staff, and 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' workspace 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. His gaze fell on Lucia in surprise. Apparently, he was amazed by Lucia who looked stunning. But after seeing Arthur's fierce gaze, Kyle quickly looked away.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"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 his desk. She noticed Arthur glaring at Kyle just now.
Arthur neither admitted or denied it.
Lucia smiled and said nothing. They arrived at Arthur's office and opened the door. Lucia looked at the layout curiously.
This understated luxury really suited Arthur's character.
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. One could tell it was an office a the first sight.
"Sit wherever you like. I'm gonna check the files." They still had some time before the launch. Arthur had some business to attend to, so he let Lucia kill time by herself.
Lucia picked up the fragrant coffee and took a sip of it. The warmth flowed into her stomach. She wouldn't disturb Arthur who was at work. Instead, she drank coffee and watched him working. Immersed in his work, Arthur looked at each document quickly and intently. Kyle came in from time to time 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 lost in her thoughts, while Arthur was dealing with the papers on the desk one by one.. An hour passed quickly. When Arthur finished his work, he looked up and saw Lucia, who was in a daze. Arthur smiled when he saw her eyes on him.
