Chapter 187 The Real Intentions
"You're Poppy's assistant?" When she came to a place that was lit, Lucia asked Daphne. No wonder she felt that Daphne looked familiar. When she just worked in Jibillion, Poppy came to cause trouble to her with this assistant. Seeing her young face, Lucia guessed she just graduated and started her career.
"Hmm," Daphne replied in a low voice thinking of Poppy's beef with Lucia.
"From now on, be careful when you go out alone at night. It's best to stay away from such dark alleys, got it?" Lucia just reminded Daphne to be careful.
"Miss Webb, aren't you going to ask me anything else?" Daphne asked Lucia curiously.
Lucia smiled softly and said, "Do I need to ask you anything?"
Daphne's lips moved but she could not make a reply.
"Hurry up and go home. It's late," Lucia said, walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi. Daphne saw it and hurried to follow Lucia. Then she sincerely thanked Lucia. If it were not for Lucia, she would have suffered.
Lucia nodded, got into the car and left. Daphne stood at the side of the road watching her taxi drive away, muttering to herself, "Miss Webb is really nice ..."
Then she looked around nervously and hurriedly left.
Lucia didn't take it to heart, but a few days later she received an unknown number and realized it was Daphne.
"Miss Webb, thank you for saving me last time. Can I treat you to a meal?" On the phone, Daphne asked carefully.
Daphne was just too shy, and Lucia felt Daphne was very cute when she heard Daphne's voice. Then she responded, "Yes, where would you like to take me to a meal?"NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"How about Tranquility?" Tranquility was a little-known restaurant in the city, the most expensive place Daphne could afford to have a meal.
"Tranquility?" Lucia repeated, and then said, "Yes, we'll meet there at noon."
Daphne came to Tranquility early. Soon she saw Lucia walk in and looked at Lucia with admiration.
She felt that the whole restaurant seemed to light in when Lucia appeared in Tranquility. And people around her involuntarily looked at Lucia. She was like a magnet that drew everyone. "Miss Allen, hello." Lucia sat down with such grace and elegance that Daphne's eyes lit up with admiration.
"Miss Allen?" Lucia called out again when she saw Daphne staring blankly at her.
"Hey!" Daphne responded loudly as if she had just returned to her senses, her face quickly flushed and her head hung low after she realized what she had done.
Lucia was such a gorgeous and excellent woman, while she was just an assistant.
Daphne became shier at the thought of it.
Feeling Daphne was really cute, Lucia couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked her, "Aren't you going to treat me to a meal? Let's start ordering."
Daphne came back to herself, and politely let Lucia order her favorite dishes. Lucia didn't decline and ordered what she would like to eat. Daphne looked at a table full of dishes and nervously grabbed her bag, worried she couldn't afford the meal. Lucia noticed it, of course.
During the meal, Lucia learned that Daphne had been working at JTP for less than a year, and although she had graduated, she had enrolled in an accounting class, which was why she was at the college town that night.
After the meal was finished, Daphne once again expressed her gratitude to Lucia with undisguised adoration in her eyes. From the first time she met her, she had made up her mind to become a woman like Lucia.
Daphne was embarrassed for Poppy when she followed her to Jibillion Inc, but Lucia's counterattack surprised Daphne. She didn't expect someone could fight back against Poppy and make her speechless. She appreciated Lucia since then. A few days ago, Lucia saved her. Since then, her appreciation turned into admiration.
"You are not just to thank me, right?" After graciously accepting Daphne's thanks, Lucia asked her about her true intentions.
As an intelligent woman, Lucia knew Daphne had other motives to ask her out for a meal. After hearing what Lucia said, Daphne looked very excited, as if she thought Lucia was so amazing to guess her purpose. Daphne's reaction made Lucia smile.
Daphne was really a simple-minded girl and could be easily seen through.
"Ms. Powell has a bad temper. The reason I became her assistant was that her previous assistants could not stand her bad temper and quit. I was chosen probably because I look like a pushover." Daphne began to talk about her situation. Lucia patiently listened.
It was really hard to work for Poppy.
"I know you have a lot of grudges against Ms. Powell, and I can know a lot of things about her. You saved my life once, and I want to repay you."
Lucia was a little surprised that this girl would want to repay her, and even implied that she could spy on Poppy.
"It's just a favor, you don't have to take it seriously or do anything for me," Lucia said politely.
"I gotta repay you!" Daphne's eyes sparkled as she said, "Ms. Powell has done a lot of bad things, to you and to others, and if I can help you, I'd love to."
"Then you'd be a spy," Lucia said jokingly.
"I don't mind!" Daphne said determinedly, only to hear Lucia's chuckle. She stared at Lucia blankly and wondered why Lucia was laughing.
"Silly girl," Lucia stopped smiling and said, "You are so simple-minded, so you are not suitable for spying on others. Even if it were someone else that night, I would save her too."
"Miss Webb, don't you trust me?" Lucia's explanation didn't frustrate Daphne. She just thought Lucia didn't believe her.
