Chapter 085

As Lucia’s body froze, she felt a chill creep up her back and spread to her limbs. Ted Stebbing's

conduct of allowing her to work in his office had already misled people. short period, so how should

she handle him?

“Lucia.” Seeing Lucia in a stunned state and not responding for a moment, Emma hurriedly asked,

"What's wrong?" Lucia snapped back to her senses, took a deep breath, and asked, "Why... What

happened to Mr. Stebbing?" Emma said in a low voice, "I heard he was having an affair with his

secretary, as well as a few interns. In short, his personal life is messed up! As a beautiful girl, you

must pay more attention to him!" As Lucia nodded, her chest felt as though it was being pressed,

and she couldn't catch her breath. She finally realized why Lisa Miller made the initiative to give her

this opportunity back then. That was the reason!

It was too late now, no matter what she had to keep doing it, even if it meant biting the bullet.

Soon, it was afternoon. Lucia focused on finishing all documents and ensuring efficiency. Secretly

exhaling a sigh of relief, she picked up the documents and sent them to Ted Stebbing. "Mr.

Stebbing, here is the key document you need...” As hand, stood up, and ordered

coldly. "Come to dinner with me later, and meet some Faith Project leaders.” The Faith to the

company. It was mainly to jointly develop new smart products with a newly valued recently. Lucia

secretly breathed a sigh of relief once she saw Ted Stebbing's serious face, and immediately began

preparing things

for the dinner.

After arriving at the Austos International Hotel, Lucia felt a little frightened when she remembered

what had happened here before. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to swallow the discomfort

as she followed Ted into the hotel. She almost had an accident the last time Lydia Anderson and

Carol Wright set her up. Since then, Austos International had always been a shadow to her. Seeing

familiar scenes and taking the same elevator made her feel uneasy. In the elevator, she watched the

numbers slowly rise, and her face turned pale as she remembered what happened here last

time.

the door and saw that about five or six men were seated around a saw Ted Stebbing, they all

greeted him. "Ted, we are all waiting for you. You're late, and you have to punish yourself for three

classes of liquor later.” "Since Tom has already said it, I have nothing to say. I will definitely drink

and joked with everyone without changing his expression. Everyone was booing. Then somebody

noticed Lucia behind Ted. The man smiled and said, "Ted, that's not very nice of you. As a

punishment, you drink three glasses. Wouldn't it be nice if your

Initially, the room was full of men, making Lucia, a beautiful girl, stand out. Moreover, her beauty

made people unable to take

their eyes off her, which led to everyone wanting to tease her. As Lucia stood where she was, she

did not dare to say anything when she heard that.

Ted turned his head, glanced at her, paused for two seconds, and said solemnly. “Are you lost? Don't

you know what to do?

Lucia was stunned and the look on her face was a little icy.

What did Ted mean? Could it be that he brought her here just to accompany them to drink? In his

eyes, she was nothing

more than a barmaid.

Lucia bit her lip. "Mr. Stebbing..." "Come drink, stop talking useless stuff!" Ted waved his hand,

signaling the waiter next to him to pour the liquor. The waiter picked up the liquor bottle and three

small glasses, filled them up, and brought them to Lucia. When Lucia saw the three glasses of liquor

in front of her, and the people in the room gazing at her, she knew she had to

drink. After taking a deep breath, Lucia picked up a glass, bit the bullet, and raised her head to

drink. A spicy liquid poured into her throat, and a hot feeling slipped into her stomach, making her

feel cold. After drinking the first glass, some people in the room were booing and laughing. Lucia

shivered, grabbed the second glass, and continued to drink. Lucia felt cold and uncomfortable in her

stomach after drinking three glasses of liquor in a row, and after a while, she felt her body burning

In response to her drink, Ted said nothing more, and he sat down to talk and drink with the others.

Lucia's breathing was short after a while due to the three glasses of liquor, and she felt hot and

uncomfortable. It was too much for her to drink three glasses of high-quality liquor at once since

she didn't know how to drink. With an empty stomach, she couldn't stand it even more. "Regarding

the Faith Project, I'm not sure if Mr. Stebbing can make the decisions now. Should that be the case,

we would be happy to learn more about the details.” Hearing what the manager of the other party

awkward coughs sounded from the table as people made eye contact with one

another. Seeing this, Ted tumed his head to look at Lucia. The smile in his eyes was

somewhat cold and horrible. “Its ime to toast Mr. Mitchell” Lucia frowned slightly and said softy, "Mr. Stebbing, as I sid just now, I'm not very good at

crinking..”

Ted's face suddenly became gloomy. “You already drank three glasses just now, but you

in her stomach made her dizzy. and she was Unable to stand stil Fortunately, the dinner was Ted also drank a lot, which caused his steps to be bit disordered

almost faling numerous times. Lucia took a deep breath, followed him out of the hotel, and reminded him softy. “Mr. Stebbing, be careful” In front of the

hotels main entrance, Ted's car was parked under the steps. Ted stumbled toward the car Lucia hurriedly stepped her. It was almost impossible for Lucia to hold

her balance and she most fell to the ground. Nearby, in» parked car on the side of the road, Irene was looking through the window, pointing the camera

toward them, and pressing the shutter button. After taking face. t was definitely ead meat for Lucia this time when she teamed up with Lisa Miler to set her
