It Was Never Love 60
Then I left Lucy's apartment and went to the office. My assistant was very busy. In addition to company shares. I had also given him a series of small tasks to take care of. However, he was very competent and was able to handle everything in an orderly manner.I stayed at the company until late, when Carlos Sky called me. His cold voice sounded over the phone as he asked, “Have you eaten yet?”I flipped through the documents and asked, “Lunch?”“Yes, if not yet, I can come get you.”The Sky family company was a far cry from the Moom company. The round trip would be 2 hours, and I hesitated for a moment and said. "Just ate."When I was still Carlos' wife, he had been very busy. Whenever there was any news about him, he had been busy at the company. I didn't want him to waste those 2 hours for him and so I lied.He didn't think anything was strange and just told me to remember to take my medicine before turning off my cell phone.The phone call had just ended when my assistant opened th

I couldn't help but suspect that there was an inside informant at the Moom company, given the fact that Carlos Sky had uncovered such a private matter as looking up Charles Lucas' contact information.He was even aware of everything I was doing.If he thought of it that way, it was a little scary.It was as if I had no privacy whatsoever.I was feeling very complicated, and Carlos just calmly explained and said, “Your assistant told me this morning.”I am wordless.On the road heading to Washington, I sat in the car and asked my assistant, “Lucy sent you to investigate Charles, right?”My assistant responded, “Yes, she wants his contact information.”I asked: “Did she find them?”My assistant shook his head and said, “I could only find the company’s contact information. I couldn't find his personal information. I couldn't find anything, so I went to ask President Sky. President Sky used internet data and found them.”I was about to ask why he had told Carlos, but he confessed first, I

Carla Lima looked so perplexed that it was as if she hadn't done it. Suddenly, I looked at Nanci Lima suspiciously.Although she seemed as calm as usual, she seemed even more anxious than when she asked, “Carla, why did her voice come out like that?”Carla bit her lip and seemed very disturbed, no one knew what was going on in her mind, she asked me abruptly: “Natália Moom, what are you really planning to do? You've already caught me red-handed, now what? Are you going to incriminate me?”If I had had suspicions about Nanci just now, what Carla had just accused herself of. When the butler heard Carla call me Natália, he asked me, looking surprised: “Was it Moom? The CEO of the Moom corporation?”Not long ago he had neglected me, but now he referred to me as Mrs. Moom. However, I paid no attention to the butler. Instead, I played the recordings made over the past two days for Carla.Her face turned gray as she heard them, and she looked at Nanci anxiously, but Nanci gently comforted he

I have always been suspicious and liked to consider all possible outcomes. What if it was Nanci who was behind this, and Carla was simply taking the blame for her?That was the only reason why Carla remained so silent on the subject.She just wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.As I thought about this, I smiled hypocritically and asked Nanci: “Mrs. Lima, did I hear from my assistant that you are very close to Michele Mary?”On the other hand, there was no connection between Carla and Michele.“Yes, we have known each other for a long time.”Nanci responded very calmly, not showing any flaws.I suddenly understood that Carla was indeed the scapegoat.But now that Carla Lima had been caught red-handed, there was no way to find anything that would lead to Nanci Lima, and I had no choice but to let Carla take the blame.First of all, she would have been willing to do it.Secondly, coming from the Lima family, punishing her would teach her a lesson, which would also be a g

I had just remembered the message he sent me, anyway, so I thought for a moment and said, “I didn't come to Washington because I didn't trust your ability to solve this problem. Those things though I happened to come across some clues, so I followed them.”He turned around and asked, “Then why did you lie?”“Why did I lie?”I had lied to him about coming for a business trip that came up.I had never been good at explaining, so I sighed and told the truth. “The clue I found. It is related to the Lima family. My assistant advised me to tell him, but then he also said that Mrs. Lima is his aunt. That’s why I lied to him, because I didn’t want to make things difficult for him, but I didn’t expect him to find out.”Responsibility. I paused and asked: “What did you do? Did I come to the city of Washington suddenly?”Carlos stopped the car at the intersection, put the car in gear and stared at me for a while. I touched my face and asked wonderfully. “Where are you looking?”“I missed you, an

Carlos couldn't get past that notion and I crushed him by gently reminding him: “At least for now, he's the one who treats me best.”He no longer challenged me, but was more intrigued by my relationship with Léo. He questioned: “As far as I know, there is no agreement between my brother’s families and mine on how they met each other?”I didn't want to divulge Léo's past, because it was his secret and it wasn't up to me to tell the world about it.But to satisfy Carlos' curiosity, I said: “We've known each other for a long time. He is the son of my mother’s best friend, he is my brother.”My explanation didn't seem very good to Carlos, but he didn't go any further either. He turned and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.Looking at her straightened back, I smiled silently and walked up the stairs. I went to my sister-in-law's room first to get some wet wipes to remove my makeup.There were many cosmetic products and several beautiful pieces of clothing in my sister-in-law's room. Sh

I instinctively replied: “That’s because he’s my brother.”“I don’t think your sister-in-law will like this one bit.”Out of nowhere, Carlos had made such a statement. It seemed reasonable and I was speechless.Could the conflict between my sister-in-law and my brother be caused by me?With this thought, my heart started to feel uncomfortable, as soon as I got off the plane, I called my sister-in-law. She was still sleeping and was dazed when she answered my call. “Natália, did something happen?”“Sister-in-law, did you and my brother argue because of me?”With my loved ones, I was frank with my words. My question was very direct and my sister-in-law was stunned for a few seconds before answering: “You could say yes.”My sister-in-law was also an outspoken person.“What made you guys argue?”The sister-in-law elaborated without hiding anything from me: “He felt that he was a heartless person and that he didn’t care about anyone. Since his surgery I've been busy running around, I think
It Was Never Love 67
I immediately rushed to the hospital when I heard that Lucy had an accident. As soon as I arrived, I saw Carlos standing smoking in a corner of the corridor in front of the infirmary. He stubbed out his cigarette when he saw me and said calmly, “Lucy is currently fine after emergency surgery and the person driving the car was the man she always wanted to be with.”I immediately responded: “Are you referring to Charles Lucas?”How did he know he and Lucy were interested in Charles?Carlos didn't answer, but questioned me instead: "Are you investigating Charles because of Lucy?"I nodded in affirmation. Carlos was smart and immediately realized Lucy's intention. He said: “I think she deliberately planned this to happen and desperately tried to put herself in danger! We underestimated her determination for revenge. In order to enter the Lucas family, she dared to offend Charles and even planned to take revenge on him.”Carlos' words obviously showed that he was still skeptical about what
