chapter 172

Lucy looked at him in confusion before it finally registered in her brain. "Boss's f-fiance?"He nodded."You mean Boss will marry her?"Frank sadly sighed.As expected, the shock is too much. She is in denial."Yes, Lucy Hale."Lucy's black irises finally widened and she alternated her gaze between them in utter shock."How can you choose a woman for Boss who doesn't even know that a crease on a dress can be solved by just ironing it?"Frank – "!!!"Elvis – "…"They stared at her unblinkingly until their eyes began to sting with tears. They lost count of how many times Lucy managed to shock them today and seemed like it still wasn't over.Frank asked, his smile faltering. "That is your...point?"Why did I think that she would cry a river of tears and get disappointed?Elvis was of the same opinion as him."Of course! Just imagine. If Boss's shirt gets even a slight crease in the future, she would just throw it away! What a waste of money!" Lucy shook her head. "A wife should be managing her husband's finances responsibly and not just spend his hard-earned fortune for such silly things. Didn't you hear what she said? She doesn't repeat her dresses!"Lucy harrumphed. "A new dress to wear every day? She will bring my Boss to the streets like this! I have ten sets of clothes but look how efficiently I use them. I shop only once every two years." She said with pride.Elvis and Frank exchanged speechless glances.Elvis softly said, "I see…"Though it was impossible for the Willson family to come onto the streets, he felt good to know that Lucy cared about Eric's money so much.He recalled his wife's words. "Elvis! Do you want to throw this coat just because it got a stain on it? We can wash it you know! Don't waste money like that!"He softly smiled at that memory.Lucy sighed. "I wonder who thought she is a good choice for Boss? Clearly, they have some issues."Frank coughed.Old Madam…"Anyway. Forget about her nature. But I am surprised that you are not much affected by this news," he sneered, "Didn't you claim you like Boss so much? Or was it a joke?"Lucy glared at him. "I will never lie about my feelings!"She had no qualms in admitting that in front of his father."So shouldn't you be sad and moping in depression here?"She blinked her eyes. "Eh? Why should I? I am sure the Boss has really good taste if he had to choose a wife for him. He wouldn't choose a woman who isn't frugal about money or who couldn't voice her opinion against his grandma when she was harshly rebutting his father for no reason."Elvis froze."That Old Madam may have status and power in the family. But what is wrong is wrong and one must stand up against it."
