Long Time, My Baby

Chapter 42 The Project Plan Was Settled

After dinner, Zoe took Leah into her room.

"Leah, let me show you something." Zoe rummaged through her suitcase.

"It's late today. You took a long flight and then went to the amusement park. Let's see it tomorrow." Looking at the busy little figure, Leah smiled.

"No, you must see it today. Leah, don't go." Zoe raised her head and looked at Leah.

"Okay, okay, I won't leave." Leah couldn't figure out why she liked this little girl so much.

Zoe smiled at her and then lowered her head to look for her.

"I found it." Zoe took out several photo frames from the bottom of her suitcase.

"What's this?" Leah squatted down and took the photo frame from her hand.

"I took this picture. You and Lucian went to Mohe County last time to see the aurora, right?" Zoe looked at Leah with a smile.

Leah looked at the photo in her hand in surprise. It was a gorgeous aurora.

"It's so beautiful." Leah praised.

"That's a photo taken with a high-tech telescope. It has a close view and a beautiful view." Zoe introduced, "Leah, look at this photo. This is taken on the top of the mountain where you are watching the aurora. This is..."

"Ahem." A light cough sounded at the door. The two people sitting on the ground looked up at the door.

"What are you doing? The floor is cold. You two sit on the bed. " Lucian stood at the door in a bathrobe, with the belt around his waist loosely tied.

"Mr. Lucian." Zoe stood up and said excitedly, "Come here. This is my gift for Leah and you."

"Oh?" Lucian walked over and looked at the photo in Leah's hand, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"I hurt Leah last time. This is my apology." Zoe smiled at Leah.

Looking at her lovely face, Leah was a little surprised. This little girl was so thoughtful.

"Thank you, Zoe'." Lucian also smiled.

"I'm glad you like it."

"Hey, everyone is here." Angus walked in.

"Angus." When Zoe saw Angus, she immediately walked up to him and held his arm.

Angus rubbed her nose and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm showing my photos to Leah." Zoe pulled Angus into the photo.

"All right, all right. Take the photos and leave now." Angus began to drive them away.

Lucian raised her eyebrows, "This is my home. Are you driving me away?"

"It's so late. What are you doing in my room? Hurry up and leave." Angus held Zoe tighter and looked a little uncomfortable.

"No." Lucian raised his head.

Now it was Leah's turn to feel embarrassed. She looked at Angus apologetically and said, "I'm sorry."

"Let's go." Leah pushed Lucian.

She put her hand on his arm and it made him feel comfortable. "Okay, let's go."

Seeing Lucian holding Leah's waist and walking out, Angus couldn't help smiling.

"Angus, what are you laughing at?" Zoe asked in confusion.

Angus whispered in her ear, which made Zoe blush.

"Well, Zoe', you are tired today. Let's go to bed."

"Okay."

In the bedroom, Leah put the photos on the table one by one.

"Not tired?" Lucian held her waist from behind.

Leah stiffened and held his hand. She wanted to push him away, but she hesitated and didn't move.

Lucian frowned and put her head on her slender shoulder. She looked at her hand thoughtfully and asked, "do you like these photos?"

"Yeah." Leah leaned against his chest with her back against his chest.

Feeling her support, Lucian's eyes lit up with joy.

"It's itchy." Leah twisted her body.

"Where does it itch? I'll scratch you. " Lucian said in a hoarse voice.

Lucian turned her around and looked into her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Leah was embarrassed. 'Shameless! Shameless!'

"Ha ha." Lucian chuckled and smiled at her pouting.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower." Leah pushed him.

"Don't go." Lucian lowered her head and clenched her lips.

Leah frowned because of the pain, and Lucian became gentle at once.

"I will be gentle." Lucian whispered in her ear.

"But I can't do it today. I..." Leah got anxious.

Lucian froze and touched something soft like plastic.

Leah blushed, "I really can't make it today."

"You are such a torturing temptress." Lucian gnashed her teeth and looked at the scene in front of him.

Leah didn't dare to move. After a while, Lucian asked, "Does your belly hurt?"

"A little." Leah replied in a low voice.

"Wait." Lucian stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

Looking at his receding figure, Leah breathed a sigh of relief. She went to wash her hands and put cold water on her face. She muttered to herself, "You are getting bolder."

After a while, Lucian came in with a cup of brown sugar ginger tea. Seeing that Leah was patting her face with cold water in the bathroom, a hint of displeasure flashed through his eyes. "What are you doing?"

"What?" Leah turned around, "nothing."

With a gloomy face, Lucian pulled her to sit on the bed, picked up the brown sugar ginger tea on the table and handed it to her, "Don't touch cold water from now on."

"Why?" Holding the cup in her hand, Leah felt warm.

"There is no reason. Cold water is not good for girls' health. Don't touch it in the future. There is always hot water at home." Lucian didn't look good.

"Oh, I see." Leah nodded.

Hearing her soft reply, Lucian's eyes softened. "Don't take a shower tonight. You'll catch a cold."

"Okay." Leah felt warm and smiled.

After drinking the water, Leah simply washed her face and rinsed her mouth before lying on the bed.

Suddenly, the screen of the mobile phone on the bedside table lit up. Lucian reached for the mobile phone, with an imperceptible coldness flashing in his eyes.

There were several words on the screen, "Leah, do you have a stomachache today?" Remember to drink brown sugar ginger tea and have a good rest.

Charlie? Why doesn't he give up? Humph.

"Lucian, who is it?" Leah saw Lucian looking at her phone for a while.

"Nothing. It's a scam message." Lucian deleted the message, put the phone back, and held Leah in his arms.

"Okay." Leah didn't think too much and closed her eyes. She was so tired today that she fell asleep soon.

Looking at her sleeping face, Lucian] thought for a while. She hadn't completely accepted him yet, and Charlie didn't give up. It seemed that he had to speed up.

The second day, as soon as Leah went to the company, May came over.

"'Leah, where have you been these days?"

"To avoid the rumor." Leah said casually.

"That's right. Such a big thing happened these days. By the way, Mr. Charlie would clarify it. Leah, you are so lucky." May bit the pen and looked at Leah. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's not that I'm lucky. It's just that he wants to cancel the engagement. It's just an excuse of him." Leah sneered in her heart.

"'Leah, how do you know?"

"I guessed. Think about it. As a CEO of a group, he must have a purpose to clarify this matter. "

"Well, that makes sense." May nodded.

"Leah, manager Sam asked you to go to his office." Vivian came over and said in a bad tone.

"Okay, Miss Vivian." Leah stood up and walked towards his office.

Clang! Clang! Clang.

"Come in."

Leah pushed the door open and said, "manager, what can I do for you?"

"Leah, you asked for leave a few days ago. Are you okay?" He asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine." Leah nodded slightly.

"How is the project plan going?" He picked up the coffee on the table.

"I'm almost ready." Leah replied.

"Oh? Why not make a statement? " Sam cast a glance at Leah.

"My plan is to develop the tourism industry and scenic spots. The Caspar Manor is aimed at the upper class. The market is a little narrow, so the tourism scenic spots can expand the market. But in order to show the high end of MZ Group, the service and scenic spots need to be graded, which is also a symbol of identity." Leah gave her thought briefly.

"You're right. The assessment was supposed to be held early, but it was delayed because of you. Fortunately, the president approved it. We'll give everyone more time to prepare and try to guarantee the quality. I'll inform the assessment later. You can go out first."

Leah frowned and felt uneasy. Something bad was going to happen.

Seeing that Leah walked out, Sam took out his phone and sent a message to Vivian, "See you at the same place tonight. The project plan has been settled.".

Looking at her phone, Vivian smiled.
