Lucia nodded her head over the phone. She heard the beeping sound that indicated the call had ended. She decided she would see her grandpa herself before she would believe that he was alright. She had negative feelings about Melanie's presence in the hospital. She turned to see Hugh behind her.Hugh looked at Lucia with a serious look. He was trying to decern her thoughts through the different expressions on her face. But he could only see panic and worry for her grandfather. 'Does she have no emotions for me, huh?' Hugh asked himself. He was hurt alongside his wolf."Your phone." Lucia said and stretched his phone to him. She expected Hugh to take it immediately but he did not. He was still looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Lucia was tired of standing and she wanted to leave. She still had to make porridge for her grandpa. She decided she would take a nap first. Lucia put her hand down while Hugh was still looking at her. She crept her hand towards his pants pocket and droppe
Lucia was a bit surprised at his words. The Elios she had seen didn't look one bit dangerous. He looked more like a pretty boy, but she knew not to underestimate anyone. She also didn't want to probe too much, as she knew her limits. Hugh's words made her think twice.'If Elios is dangerous, is Hugh dangerous too?' Lucia thought as she looked into Hugh's eyes. She decided to talk about the next thing on her mind, "What are we?" Lucia asked vaguely because she was a bit embarrassed. She had read somewhere that the question was mostly asked by women.She bent her head slightly to avoid his eyes. Her words made Hugh furrow his brows. He didn't know how to answer her. He also wanted to laugh because of the embarrassed and shy expression on her face. It was rare to see Lucia shy or embarrassed. He liked her boldness."Honestly…" Hugh started and trailed off. Lucia eagerly waited for him to complete his sentence. She hated being left hanging like that but she decided to be patient. Hugh on t
COO OF YOUNG CORPORATION ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN MURDER.THE MISSING HEIRESS OF YOUNG CORPORATION, ISABELLE YOUNG, WAS MURDERED BY ISABELLE YOUNG.SCIENTIST IN THE MUD.YOUNG CORPORATION IN DEEP WATERS.These were the headlines that wrecked the internet, news blogs, and business news. Melanie razed everything on her desk to the ground, in anger. Her makeup was ruined and ugly. She held her head and ruffled her hair in complete misery as she watched the news being broadcasted on TV. "Get them to take the news down now!! Take everything down!!" Melanie shouted at her assistant with eyes blazing with fury. Fear ran down the assistant's body. "W..we can't take it down." The assistant explained slowly. "The police have caught unto it." The assistant added and quickly moved away.Melanie could blow up like a bomb at any time and the assistant would be the one to bear the brunt. "What do you mean the police have caught unto it? What can those bunches do? They can't do anything!" Melanie said
"Grandpaaa." Lucia said in a slightly high tone. "You can't do that. I don't want that and of course, Lucas does not want that either." Lucia said and turned to Lucas. Giving him a deathly stare, she dared him to say otherwise. Lucas on the other hand quickly composed himself."Yes, boss. I don't want that." He didn't say so because Hugh and Lucia were staring down at him. 'This demon couple. They should stop scaring me.' Lucia thought grudgingly in his mind. Grandpa James looked from Lucia to Lucas with a serious gaze. His stare made the duo a bit scared.They dreaded what he would say next. Lucia would not be able to refuse her grandpa if he arranged a marriage with Lucas for her. 'How did he even think of that?' She asked herself. Her head moved stealthily to the side to observe Hugh's reaction and her heart broke.Hugh had an unbothered expression on his face. His gaze was directed at the window, looking at the sky. Lucia turned her head back and at that point, if grandpa James sa
Lucia was dressed in a black suit with black stiletto heels. The heel made her feel tall and the black color of the suit complimented her pale skin. A make-shift board room was provided for their needs in the hospital due to grandpa James' influence. A few minutes later…"Are you ready, huh?" Hugh asked Lucia as she straightened the invisible lines on her suit. She was nervous and her palms were a bit sweaty. She gave a slight nod to Hugh's question and Hugh planted a soft kiss on her cheek. Immediately, Lucia felt her nervousness fly away. "Are you okay now?" Hugh asked again. Lucia smiled and said with a wink, "You should do that often." Inwardly, she was giddy that Hugh noticed how nervous she was. He had kissed her in an effort to calm her down. They heard a knock on the hospital ward's door. Hugh walked slowly to get to the door. He knew it was none other than Lucas, behind the door. He opened the door to reveal Lucas' face. "It's time." Lucas said immediately the door was ope
The recording of his conversation was played and it echoed in the meeting room. Eddy had a pale look on his face as he listened to his voice."...For an exchange, I'll give you 5% shares of Young Corporation." Melanie's voice sounded out. Her offer wasn't something Eddy could refuse. If Melanie was willing to give up 5% shares, just to bring down Alix Enterprise and then buy it, he saw no reason to refuse."Sure, I will do as you say. I will use the media for the first step of the plan." Eddy said. Happiness could be detected in the tone of his voice. "Up to you then." Melanie replied. Lucas ended the recording, even though there was still more to be said. If Eddy wanted to counter that the recording was fake, his reaction had already given him away. "Y..you." Eddy pointed a shaky finger at Lucia, eyes blazing in anger. Lucia spread her arms, her stance indicated that she was just doing what she was supposed to do."Lucas." Lucia called out again. Lucas immediately knew what she want
Soon the meeting was over, and Lucia walked out with Lucas trailing behind her. She saw Hugh standing by the door and she immediately linked her arms with his. It was weird that the couple did not mind Lucas knowing about their relationship. "Do you want to go home?" Hugh asked. "Or do you want to visit your grandpa first?" He added. Lucia did not think twice before saying, "I will visit grandpa." Hugh nodded and they both walked toward grandpa James' ward. Lucas was left behind while he snickered at the couple's back. He had noticed something about the duo's relationship. Lucas noticed that they acted differently whenever they were before the old man. "I think they are trying to keep their relationship from Mr. James. I should not meddle." Lucas said to himself. Aside from his observation, the way Lucas had stopped addressing grandpa James as the CEO was commending. The shareholders swarmed out of the makeshift meeting room. They met Lucas still standing by the door. Lucas had sta
"Are you alright?" Hugh asked Lucia as they walked into the penthouse. Lucia turned around and hugged Hugh all of a sudden. It was like she was waiting for Hugh to talk. Hugh held her and patted her back continuously. He waited for Lucia to answer his question. That was the thing he cared about."Do you think I was too harsh on him?" Lucia asked in a shaky voice. Her doe-like eyes looked up at him and Hugh melted. At this point, he would give up anything and say Lucia was right. But he had to restrain that thinking. He then asked Lucia, "What do you think is harsh?"His question made Lucia scrunch her brows. Inwardly, she knew she was harsh to her grandpa. He was only trying to keep her safe. "Come here." She heard Hugh say and he led her toward the couch. Hugh sat on it and rested his waist on the handrest. He then guided Lucia to sit between his legs. Lucia settled between Hugh's legs and rested her back on his chest. She felt soothed, her body ached from the long meeting she had.
