Chapter 259 Jeanne's Selfish Love

Outside the car, Lucia showed the officer her electronic driver's license on her mobile phone and

apologized with a sincere attitude, so the latter let her go. She breathed a sigh of relief, got into the

car, looked at Jeanne in the back seat, and said softly, "I'm sorry for having you wait for such a long

time."

Jeanne showed a fake smile and said, "Never mind. I'm not in a hurry.” While she was speaking, a

cold light flashed across her eyes.

Then, Lucia started the car and continued driving. When passing Fonda Square, she pulled over and

dropped Jeanne off.

Jeanne smiled sweetly, waved at her on the side of the road, and said, "Thank you, Lucia. See you."

Lucia smiled and said goodbye to her before continuing to drive.

When the car arrived at an intersection. Jeanne opened the door of a car parked on the side of the

road and got in without hesitation. If Lucia had looked in the rearview mirror, she would have seen

it.

As soon as Jeanne got in the car, she glanced at the driver, handed him her cell phone, and said,

"Send those photos out. Don't leave any track! But you must also spread out the news that the

cooperation plan has been leaked.” The driver was a dark-skinned and short man. Hearing this, he

said in surprise, "Miss Kelly, this is the project plan for the cooperation between the Lion Group and

the Flying Group, so it should be a top-secret document. How did you get it?"

Jeanne folded her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes impatiently while saying, "It's none of

your business. Just do what I said. Stop talking nonsense!"

The driver was still hesitant, so he said, "If the plan is leaked, the Lion group's cooperation with the

Flying Group will be canceled. Don't you like August very much? If you do this, the Lion group will

suffer a great loss.”

Jeanne gritted her teeth with a frown, feeling torn. But when she thought of Lucia, all her worries

and concerns were instantly replaced by jealousy and resentment. She did not care even if the Lion

group went bankrupt. All she wanted was August! And her real rival had always been Lucia. If she

could frame her up, she would not care whether August would lose the cooperation project at all!

Jeanne took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "Even if August becomes a pauper, I will be with

him! All I want is him, and I don't care about anything else!"

When the driver heard her words, the look in his eyes suddenly dimmed a bit. After a while, he

lowered his head and said humbly, "I will do whatever you want me to do.”

Hearing this, Jeanne raised her eyebrows, felt somewhat satisfied, and said, "That's more like it."

When she stretched out her hand to fix her hair, she suddenly thought of something, so she

narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "I asked you to find a way to stop her car just now. Have you

wiped the traces off?" "Don't worry. I managed everything well.”

Hearing this, she was relieved, jerked her chin at him, and said, "Good! Let's go home."

More than 20 minutes later, Lucia arrived at the Flying Group. After parking the car, she took the file

bag into the company building. After she told the receptionist her intention, the latter immediately

made a call. After hanging up, she said, "Ms. Mitchell, please wail a moment. Eaton will be here

soon.” "OK, thank you.” Lucia smiled at her, walked to the rest area, and sat down on a sofa to wait

After a while, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked over quickly.

He was wearing black-rimmed glasses, but his eyes were bright, so he looked very energetic. After

he glanced around, he quickly identified his target and then walked straight toward Lucia.

Seeing this, Lucia quickly stood up and glanced at the working badge over his chest. After

confirming his identity, she smiled, "Hello, Eaton.”

Eaton also smiled, lightly shook hands with her, and cut to the chase, saying, President Adams sent

an email saying that you will send the final plan over in advance. We will discuss it later. If it is OK,

we will directly sign the contract at the meeting tomorrow.”

With a polite smile on her face, Lucia nodded at him, handed the file bag to him with both hands,

and said, "Okay! Here is the project plan.” "Thank you."

The two looked at each other and nodded. After small talk, they separated. After coming out of the

building, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the Flying Group deserved to be one of the biggest

companies in Austin City. Their layout and pacing were both suitable. Then, she returned to the

company, related Eatons words to August, and then continued the work at hand.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. When Lucia was processing a form, her mobile

phone suddenly vibrated, startling her.

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, she smiled, glanced at the time, and immediately answered the

phone, saying, "Paula, are you deliberately calling me at such a time?"

She called her as soon as it was time to get off work, which was even more punctual than an alarm

clock.

Paula said in a somewhat aggrieved voice, "Since you said you don't want me to disturb you at

work, I have never dared to call you at will. I waited for a while and called you at such a time.”

She sounded very aggrieved. If Lucia hadn't known her so well, she would have been deceived. She

chuckled and then asked, "What's up?”

Paula replied in frustration, "I'm in a bad mood. Can we go to have Mexican food?"

Lucia had wanted to go to the hospital to see her parents, but when she remembered that there was

gauze on her forehead, she gave up the idea. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "Let's not

go to eat Mexican cuisine. I want to eat a light meal.”

Paula agreed without hesitation. Then, they decided to have dinner in a restaurant they often went

to. After Lucia sat at their usual table for a short while, Paula arrived and walked over. When she was

about to sit down and complain about the bad traffic, she suddenly stared at Lucia's face in

confusion and asked, "Lucia, are you injured?"

Lucia tilted her head and tried to fob her off, saying, "Well, I accidentally bumped into a wall.”

You accidentally bumped into a wall?” Paula was a little angry when saying, "You should have been

more careful..."

Lucia tried hard to hold back her laughter while listening to Paula lecturing herself. When the dishes

were served, she picked up a fork, handed it to Paula, and said, "Come on! I'll learn the lesson and

be careful next time."

Seeing the delicious food, Paula stopped criticizing her. And after a while, they began to happily

chat about other topics.

After dinner, they went out of the restaurant. Then, they walked while chatting.

Lucia suddenly thought of Paula's charity show this Saturday, so she turned to look at her and said,

"Paula, I'm sorry but I may not be able to go to see your show this Saturday.”

She had promised that she would watch the show, but she had just been transferred to the President's

office. She might need to work overtime on weekends, and she thought it was improper to ask for

leave so soon.

Paula raised her hand to pat her shoulder and joked with a smile, "Never mind. I don't lack audiences

anyway."

Hearing this, Lucia smiled. Suddenly, she remembered what Burton had said, so she winked at Paula

and said, "Maybe you will have a romantic encounter in Figo City!"

Burton had said that he was going to see Paula, and Lucia thought he really meant it.
