You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 492

"Mr. Andrews, I don't need this, sorry..."

Lucille refused.

She did not have the appetite. She couldn't help but moved toward Zoel and whispered, "Zoel, I'm full.

Can I go first?"

"I'll go with you."

As Zoel spoke, he got up and took his coat.

He also noticed the hidden meaning behind Mark's action.

"Zoel, you are not cool." Mark even changed the way he addressed Zoel at that moment, "I just want to

give her a small gift. Why are you taking her away? I can offer her a job."

He was trying to use business to reconcile with Zoel.

"Mr. Andrews, we are business partners. If you still need some paintings, you can get them at my place

any time. But..." Zoel held Lucille in his arm, "If my girlfriend likes your gifts, I can buy for her."

Lucille was caught off guard when she was wrapped in Zoel's arm. She was so nervous that she

shivered.

She stood still and didn't dare to move an inch.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Mark raised his eyebrows and tried his best to widen his small eyes, "You have

really hid your relationship pretty well."

"Yes, Mr. Andrews. I didn't expect you to have other intentions, therefore I didn't make an introduction

earlier." Zoel responded calmly.

Mark clearly knew that Zoel was making it up. After all, he did not notice any intimacy between the two

when they were standing next to each other. They did not look like a couple at all. Anyway, Mark did

not retort.

He was speechless suddenly.

At that moment, the hotel attendant walked over and stood at the entrance, "Mr. Andrews, the few

bosses are about to leave. Would you like to go over?"

"Yes!" Mark just found an excuse to leave.

After Mark left, Lucille took a big step and quickly broke free from Zoel's arm. Her face was as red as

an apple. She whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Parker. Sorry for the inconveniences."

"It's not a big deal. You are my employee. Of course, I'd protect you." Zoel replied.

"Thank you."

Lucille thanked Zoel in low voice after realizing that there was no other intrinsic meaning in his words.

"Let's go. I'll take you to eat something else."

While putting on his coat, Zoel wanted to hold Lucille initially. As he stretched out his hand, he changed

his mind.

Then he trod out by himself and waited for Lucille at the entrance.

Lucille put on her coat as well and went down the stairs with him.

"Yes, yes, you're right. I'll ask them to make changes when I am back."

They heard Mark's voice at the corridor before they reached the entrance of the hotel.

Obviously, he was talking with the bosses whom the waiter had mentioned a moment ago. His tone

was very different from the conversation they had in the private room.

When they arrived at the end of the corridor, Zoel stopped his pace without warning. He reached out

his hand and said, "Come on."

"Huh?"

Lucille saw Zoel standing in front of her and with his hands stretched out.

"Shouldn't we continue with our act? It's not good to let Mr. Andrews see otherwise." Zoel raised the

corner of his mouth, revealing a bright yet honest smile.

Lucille stood there, feeling that what he said did make sense, but she was still a bit reluctant.

Seeing her hesitation, Zoel took a step forward to hold her hand and strode out.

Lucille always got shy easily. Being held by Zoel, her face turned red gradually.

She didn't dare to look up. She just let Zoel led her out.

At the same time, she heard Mark flattering the bosses.

Just as they were about to walk out of the hotel lobby, a man in light gray trousers stood in front of

them.

The next moment, she heard a familiar voice, "Zoel, it has been a long time. Who is this? Don't you

want to make an introduction?"

It was Franklin!

Hearing his voice, Lucille didn't dare to look up. The first thing she wanted to do was to pull her hand

out from Zoel's grasp.

However, Zoel seemed to have guessed that she would do that. He grasped her hand harder. She

failed to break free no matter how hard she tried.

"President Moore, it's been a long time. You are a successful businessman now, yet you still remember

me. I feel extremely flattered."

Zoel spoke calmly and smoothly.

Seeing Zoel did not answer his question, Franklin continued, "It's been a long time since the last we

met, my old friend. Maybe you're not up-to-date with what I've been to all this while, perhaps allow me

to explain further. I got married in July but got a divorce last month. The person next to you is my ex-

wife."

"Mr. Parker...Let's go." Lucille muttered.

She was tormented every moment of it.

She had imagined all kinds of scenes she met Franklin again after they were divorced. She even

thought that she would see Franklin being together with another woman.

But she didn't expect that she would bump into Franklin while she was with another man.

Lucille tried hard to break free from Zoel's hand when she spoke, but he did not allow her to do so.

Zoel pulled Lucille to his side and said with a smile, "It's been a long time. Let me introduce you to each

other. This is my girlfriend."

"No..." Lucille denied.

"Alright, we're leaving."

Hearing that Lucille was going to deny it, Zoel interrupted and dragged her along.

Lucille did not raise her head even once, but she could feel the gaze from Franklin.

His gaze was intense, making her feel painful, uneasy, and sad.

Lucille was dragged all the way by Zoel to the parking lot. She shook off Zoel's hand vigorously and felt

inexplicably wronged in her heart, "Why...why did you tell him that?"

She did not cheat indeed!

Why should she be wronged?

Franklin didn't believe her since the beginning.

What she feared most was that Franklin and her might not be able to reconcile after what happened

that day.

"Why didn't you tell me that he is your ex-husband?" Zoel was indifferent.

"So what if I were to tell you? I'm very grateful that you have offered me a job. However, if you do this,

there will be no future between me and Franklin." Lucille stood there, thinking about what had

happened a moment ago, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Lucille, what are you thinking about? You have no future with him, anyway. Who do you think he is?

He is Franklin Moore. Everyone in the A City knows that he has many women around him. There are

so many women who are willing to bear him a child. Do you think that he will remarry you after you give NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

birth to his child?"

Zoel was furious when he saw Lucille's aggrieved look.

"That's my own business..." Lucille choked.

Seeing Lucille's expression, Zoel pushed her into the car directly, "Let's go to the hospital and have an

abortion. Be with me. I promise to take good care of you for the rest of your life."

"I don't want to go. I am not going to get rid of my child, no matter how. Other than Franklin, I won't

marry anyone for the rest of my life." Lucille sat in the car, while staring ahead and putting on a

stubborn look.

Lucille's heart was in a mess when she thought of Franklin's misunderstanding. They might not be able

to get together again in the future.

"You are not even 23 yet, but you have thought of a plan for your whole life? You still have a long way

to go. Who knows what will happen in future?" Zoel inserted the key and started the car engine.

Through the reflection in the rearview mirror, Lucille saw Franklin and others were walking into the

parking lot. All of a sudden, she opened the car door and said, "I am going to explain to Mr. Moore."
