Chapter 499 You Should Trust Me
Noah was dreaming of a date with Madeline, so he did not reply.
So Lucas sent another message, "Hurry up and come over, your wife has been targeted by someone else."
There was still no response. Lucas thought momentarily and sent another message, "It's been almost a year. You are not still single, right? You have been single for so many years, you and Ms. Madeline have been single for so many years. If she wants something, there will be a lot of people around her waiting for her."
"Can you walk?" Mia walked alone for a while, turned a corner, and could not see Lucas anymore. After waiting and not seeing him, she quickly returned, afraid he would have an accident in the deep forest.
For example, falling into a river or rolling down a mountain.
As a result, when she came back, she saw him playing with his phone, still looking very happy.
Upon hearing Mia's voice, Lucas quickly put away his phone. This action made him appear guilty.
"I'm walking slowly. Can you help me?" Lucas showed his weakness.
Mia stiffened her body and approached to support him. Then, he leaned his whole body on her shoulder, which made every step she took feel stiff and awkward.
Lucas noticed her discomfort and tried to change the subject by turning his head to look at her pale face. "You left without a word, and the secretariat was so angry at you. They have been working overtime every day because of you."
"This is my fault. I will apologize to them in a few days." Mia thought about her colleagues at the company, and her expression softened a bit.
She had a good reputation in the company, and after Lucas started treating her differently, there were many rumors about them. So everyone liked her even more.
"You left, and I couldn't stand the coffee they made. I scolded them several times, and they all blamed you for it." Lucas continued.
Mia was speechless. "Mr. Lucas, you are too picky. It's just a cup of coffee. Can the taste be that different?"
"Well, there is a big difference. I can tell just by smelling it if it's not made by you."
"Isn't there a new secretary in the secretariat?" Mia asked, rolling her eyes.
Lucas had not returned to the company since Mia's incident. He was just guessing because he did not know what was happening in the company.
"Where can we find one so quickly? And we've already hired many, but none of them met our standards."
"If the coffee is not made by me, you won't drink it. If the clothes are not ironed by me, you won't wear them. If the table is not wiped by me, you won't use it. If the document is not delivered by me, you won't read it... You are not looking for a secretary. You are looking for a full-time nanny." Mia said secretly.
Lucas was silent for a while before speaking. "I have never thought of you as a nanny. At first, I saw you as a secretary, and I relied on you too much. Later, you taught me what love is, and I saw you as my lover. I still rely on you. I can change in the future."
"Mr. Lucas, you are from the Quincy family. What do you think you need to change and what can you change?" Mia did not believe in such promises.
"I can change anything that Mr. Quincy can change, and I can change anything that Mr. Quincy cannot change. I know you don't want to stay by my side, so you can go work for Ms. Madeline next. See what changes Mr. Quincy has made for her."
Just as Lucas finished speaking, Madeline came over. However, upon seeing Lucas with Mia calmly conversing, she turned to leave.
Lucas called out to her, "I've been injured and can't climb to the mountaintop. You guys go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Madeline looked at him, then at Mia. Sensing something strange between the two, she did not ask further and left two bodyguards with Lucas.
"Are you okay?" Madeline returned to check on them when she realized they had not caught up.
Mia nodded and smiled, "I'm fine."
Madeline wanted to say something to comfort her, but her phone suddenly rang with a unique ringtone. Seeing Mia staring at her curiously, she explained, "It's a recording that Mr. Quincy insisted on. He's a decent singer, right? He could make it if he fine-tunes his vocals."
Mia nodded absentmindedly, then suddenly realized that Mr. Quincy, who was so busy, had time to record a phone ringtone for Ms. Madeline.
"Are you awake? It's not even eight hours yet. Nothing is more important than sleep. No, I disagree with you going to the company now. I'll be angry if you insist."
While walking, Mia observed Madeline's expressions, which ranged from smiling to pouting and frowning, just like when she chatted with her college roommate while in love.
It turned out that they had made up, and Lucas was setting a trap for her again.
But it was almost noon now. If Ms. Madeline said not to let Mr. Quincy go to work, would he not go?
"Well, since you're so obedient, I'll reward you with a nutritious lunch that will be delivered soon. Eat and then go back to sleep."
Noah did not go to work.
As a secretary, Mia knew too well how busy leaders like Noah and Lucas were daily, wishing they could stretch one minute into an hour.
Working nonstop was the norm.
So when Noah gave up a whole day's schedule because of Madeline's words, it surprised her.
"Is Bruno at your place? Don't spoil him with good food and clothes. Our family has limited resources. It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go the other way around. Don't let him develop bad habits."
While looking at his computer screen, Noah listened to Madeline chatter on and on, feeling an unusual sense of calm and tenderness in his heart. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He woke up just now and saw the message Lycas had sent him. He was so angry that he wished he could fly over immediately to see who those ignorant people around Madeline were.
But when he opened his phone and saw the family photo on the screen, his irritated mood calmed down. He repeatedly told himself that he could not use tough means to drive away the people around
Madeline. He had to have her heart first so the men around her would automatically leave.
After convincing himself, he called Lucas and scolded him harshly.
Lucas begged him pitifully to come and sleep with Madeline. That way, Mia would agree to be with him. Facing such a nonsensical request, Noah hung up the phone decisively.
However, he could not help but feel agitated and enthusiastically called Madeline.
"Don't force anything over there. Even if you can't find anything, it's okay." Noah knew they were not the only ones monitoring Yashal, so he was very worried when Madeline went alone.
Madeline climbed up a significant slope and answered breathlessly, "You have to trust me. We will definitely find out the truth."
"I believe you and I'm also worried about you. If I didn't have something to do in the capital, I would have accompanied you."
"I'm not like you who fusses over every little thing. I'm pretty sure that the Parker family knows what happened back then. Just wait for my good news." Madeline lowered her voice. When Mia caught up with her and climbed the hill, she had already hung up the phone.
