Chapter 129
Lucy pushed him away with all his strength and sniffed. "Arthur, please let me go! The person you've been longing for is still alive. Why did you miss out on me, your... substitute?"
It was particularly difficult to say the words "a substitute".
A while ago, she had been trying to convince herself not to argue with a 'dead person'. But now, this 'dead person' was resurrected!
"God really knows how to play with me!"
"As I said, Mrs. Johnson will only be you!" Wasn't what he said clear enough?
Lucy took a deep breath. "Arthur, when you were hospitalized a few days ago, you were still looking at Elyse's photos. She's still alive, but you made me believe that I'm the only Mrs. Johnson. Don't you think it's too difficult?"
"I will prove it with my actions!" Arthur looked at her red and swollen eyes, and there seemed to be a thorn in his heart. He had said that he would not let anyone hurt her again, but he kept making her cry!
Lucy didn't want to argue with him anymore. When he saw Elyse yesterday, his actions had already proved who he really cared about!
She picked up her bag and wanted to go to the company.
But Arthur followed closely behind her and left the room.
"I'm going to the company. Please don't follow me." Lucy turned around and tried his best to remain calm. She was going to work and didn't want to bring her messy emotional life with her!
Arthur took her hand and said, "I'll give you a ride."
Before she struggled to refuse, he added, "If you don't want your neighbors to come out and laugh at you, I'll give you a ride."
Su gave the surrounding tightly shut doors a look, and then with a frown, swallowed the words of rejection.
They went downstairs and got in an Audi.
Lucy sat in the passenger seat, gave an address, and then looked out of the window.
She did not ask him where he got the car, nor did she continue to persuade him to let her go... She knew him very well. He would never change his mind.
The scenery outside the window continuously retreated, but none of it entered Lucy's heart.
She couldn't tolerate the ambiguous relationship between Arthur and Elyse, nor did she have the ability to make him let go of her. She didn't know what to do anymore!
The car soon arrived at the company's entrance.
When Lucy and Arthur got out of the car, several young women ran over. One of them said, "My God,
Ms. Morgan, it's really you! Is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome!"
Just as Lucy was about to say no, Arthur spoke first and introduced himself in a possessive manner. "Hello, I am Arthur, Lucy's husband."
"Hello, Mr. Johnson, I'm Ms. Morgan's employee!"
"Me too."
"Me too."
They looked at Lucy and then looked at Arthur with envy. Ms. Morgan was so lucky to marry such a handsome and noble man!
Lucy frowned and didn't waste any effort to explain. He directly walked towards the office building.
The female employees looked at each other in dismay. Why did the boss seem to be very angry?
They didn't dare to say much. After saying goodbye to Arthur, they quickly followed their boss.
Arthur watched as Lucy entered the elevator. Only then did he return to his Audi car and light up a cigarette.
In the midst of the smoke, the former Elyse and the current Lucy intertwined with each other. In the end, all that was left was Lucy's beautiful smiling face.
"Lucy..." He muttered softly and spat out a mouthful of smoke.
Before yesterday, he had never thought of making a choice between Elyse and Lucy. But after yesterday, he realized that there was only Lucy left in his heart, and Elyse was just one of his obsessions.
He wanted to know how Elyse had managed to survive the car accident and why she hadn't come to him even though she was still alive.
But he had never thought that he would abandon Lucy and be with Elyse again!
"Hello, sir. You can't park here. Please move." The security guard knocked on the door and said in Mandarin with City B accent.
Arthur nodded, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, moved the steering wheel, and returned to his villa in City B.
...
When Lucy suddenly returned to the company, the employees were both surprised and delighted.
The heads of several departments quickly sorted out the information of the company and put it in her office. The department leaders anxiously waited for her evaluation.
"I am not a tiger that eats humans. Why are you all so scared?" Lucy looked at his old companions who were trembling with fear. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
It seemed that she had never treated them harshly, nor did she deliberately pick on them!
"You are much more terrifying than a human-eating tiger!" A person in charge said with a smile, "You can make us all get out of here with just one word. A tiger can't do that!"
There was a burst of laughter in the office.
"Go! I'm telling you all to get lost. Do you want the company to close down?" Lucy rolled his eyes at the person in charge of speaking. The depression and grievance in his heart eased quite a bit when he saw his old companions.
Her family members were like enemies, and these old friends were like her family members. Even if they were wronged and saw their families, they would still be happy!
The other people in charge answered with a smile and reported the situation in concise language.
"Everyone has done a good job! Leo, please inform everyone that no one will leave after work today. I'll treat them to dinner tonight!" Lucy was very grateful to the employees who had accompanied her all the way. The company had developed from nothing to now. It was the result of everyone's hard work!
Especially after so many ups and downs, she attached more importance to the friendship with her old friends!
"Ms. Morgan is straightforward. Those little bastards are going to be very happy this time!"
"Where are dozens of people? You're so poor!"
"Let's make it clear first. Ms. Morgan, you can pay for it yourself. Don't take the bill to me!"
The last person to speak was a member of the company. Usually, spending a penny in the company was like eating his flesh.
Lucy said grumpily, "Okay, okay, I'll pay for it myself. I don't want to spend a penny in the company!"
Even as the boss of the company, every time she paid the bill in her own company, she would be scolded by the company for more than half an hour.
After chatting for a while, they went out. Lucy stayed in the office to read the information handed over by several people in charge.
Near noon, the clerk's secretary knocked on her office door. "Ms. Morgan, your husband is here to deliver food to you."
The secretary tried hard to put on a steady look, but she still couldn't hide the envy and gossip in her eyes.
"Alright, I understand. You can leave now." Lucy's beautiful face had a standard smile on it. However, her pale fingertips betrayed her emotions as she gripped the black pen.
After the secretary left, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
She rubbed the spot between her eyebrows in pain. Her heart was in a mess... She didn't want to see Arthur!
Arthur apologized, saying that she would be the only Mrs. Johnson, but she didn't believe it at all.
He had loved Elyse for so many years, and after he was forced to marry her, every time he drank with her, he would call her by her name! How could she believe that he would give up on Elyse?
A few months ago, he had risked his life to save her from the kidnapper. In order to keep her alive, he had even gotten into a car accident.
At that time, she was really shaken. She felt that he might have feelings for her, but there was a big premise for this feeling—Sheng Wan was dead!
However, the truth was cruel. Elyse wasn't dead!
