When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 811 Go Back To Being Friends

Mason was dumbfounded. He hadn’t anticipated that his meeting with Jessica would be spotted by Lucille, let alone having a picture taken.

He texted: Lucy, let me explain.

However, Lucille had blocked him.

Mason felt a chill in his heart. He immediately set off toward Lucille’s company.

Inside the office, Lucille’s expression was grim. She was so frustrated with Mason that she felt like punching him a few times. Why wouldn’t he just tell the truth even now?

Since the company Lucille worked for wasn’t particularly large and lacked any significant security, Mason was able to march straight into the office, swiftly taking Lucille’s hand in his own.

“Lucy, let me explain.”

Lucille was filled with surprise.

The surrounding coworkers all looked over.

Lucille had no option but to follow Mason out.

Once they found themselves in a secluded spot, Mason immediately apologized to her, “Lucy, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied. I was afraid you’d be upset. I didn’t dare tell you the truth.”

Afraid I’d be upset?

Lucille was even more upset now.

“So, if I were afraid you’d be upset and sought the e company of other men outside, would you find that acceptable?”

Mason had thought he wasn’t in the upon hearing Lucille’s words, he couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“Of course not,” he said weakly.

Long. But

Lucille’s face flushed red with anger. “Isn’t this the same thing? What do you mean you were afraid to tell me because I might get upset? What if I spent the late hours with another man, cuddling and hugging him, and didn’t tell you? What would you do?”

Mason fell silent.

He reckoned he would take that man down.

However, the issue at hand wasn’t this assumption.

“I’m sorry, Lucy. I really messed up this time.”

Mason had thought that having a meal with Jessica was no big deal. However, after hearing Lucille’s perspective, he started to feel that he was in the wrong.

“Trust me, I absolutely didn’t embrace her. She caught me off guard when she suddenly hugged me. I couldn’t react in time.”

“Really?” Lucille was still deeply disappointed in him. He couldn’t react in time? What does that even mean?

She lowered her gaze. “Do you think Ms. Quill is much better than me?” –This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“How do you know her last name is Quill?” Mason asked in confusion.

Lucille didn’t respond. Instead, she produced the recorded conversation she had with Jessica from that evening.

“I knew Mason’s woman was no good. Now that I see her, it’s true.” Jessica’s voice could be heard first.

“So in your opinion, do you think you and Mason are a better match?” Lucille asked.

“Of course, we’re definitely a better match than you and Mason. You’re so petty, playing these tracking games. If Mason knew about it, wouldn’t he despise you? Well, I guess he wouldn’t despise you because he never liked you in the first place. Do you know why I arranged a private meeting with Mason today? I want to seduce him. What can you possibly do about it?”

The recording ended at this point.

Mason was utterly shocked.

“I can’t believe she’s that type of woman.”

He had always held preconceived notions, believing that Jessica was kind and naive. Little did he know she had the audacity to provoke Lucille.

At that moment, he realized he had made a grave mistake.

“Lucy, I…”

This time, he didn’t even know how to begin apologizing.

Lucille simply looked at him coldly. He’s Nathaniel’s chief personal assistant, yet surprisingly, he’s interested in such a woman.

“Mason, I’m really disappointed in you. Let’s just go back to being friends from now on. I’ll be moving out, and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t come looking for me at my office anymore. Otherwise, we won’t even be able to remain friends.”

Mason stared at her, dumbfounded. “You want to break up with me?”
