The two made an appointment for dinner. Jacob left first because of something.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Lucas looked at his leaving back with an unpredictable look.
He could only hope that they could find out something in tomorrow's dinner.
He thought in silence, bowed his head and began to work.
When he got off work at night, he went back to the seaside villa.
Evelyn was drawing a design draft in the room. Seeing he coming in with expressionless face, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She didn't know if he was still angry at this time. "You are back."
She thought about it, and raised a smile to greet him.
Lucas looked at the corner of her mouth, which was lifted by her reluctantly. His eyes flashed and he nodded and 'Uh' softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took off his coat and went to the dressing room.
Evelyn looked at his back and bit her lower lip. Obviously, the man was still angry and didn't want to talk to her.
She turned around, stared at the drawing board and could not put her pen to the paper for a long time.
She didn't know how long it took. Lucas came out with a suit of leisure wear.
He looked at Evelyn's back on the windowsill and frowned. "By the way, Jacob will leave in a few days. We will have a farewell dinner with him tomorrow." Evelyn was stunned and looked back.
She saw that Lucas does not look at her, but tidying himself, as if he has just said something casually.
But even so, she couldn't help but be surprised. After all, after something like that happened, he even wanted to take her to have dinner with his friend. In a moment, her grievance was comforted a lot.
"I see."
She responded with a faint smile.
Seeing she was unhappy just now, and had a good mood at the moment, he was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.
...
At noon the next day, she dressed up specially because she was going with Lucas to have dinner with his friend.
A lavender corset dress made her look very petite and lovely.
The elegant and delicate makeup made her look very energetic.
Her dark and bright black hair was half tied behind her head. Only a few wisps of hair hanged on both sides of her cheek.
Lucas still worn the same black handmade suit. When they stood together, they looked inexplicably harmonious. "Come on."
Evelyn approached Lucas and said.
Lucas hided the astonishment in his eyes and nodded to get in the car.
After that, they came to the appointed restaurant. Jacob was already waiting in the box.
"Lucas, Mrs Hawk, we met again."
He smiled and greeted, his expression was as kind as ever.
Evelyn replied with a smile, "Mr. Collins."
When the three were seated, Lucas and Jacob started talking about business.
Evelyn listened in silence and looked after Lucas from time to time.
As they said, Jacob looked at Evelyn and said with a smile, "Mrs Hawk, I heard that you worked in Lucas's company before. Were you the financial director? I remember you majored in economics." When Evelyn heard this, she was stunned, and then reacted.
"Yes, I majored in economics, but I was not finance director. I was in design department."
Evelyn's simple answer surprised Jacob.
"Design Department? Did Mrs Hawk learn design?"
Evelyn, looking at his surprise look, didn't think much about it. She repeated what she explained to Lucas again.
After listening, Jacob seemed to believe her, and naturally asked about Evelyn's daily life and work.
Evelyn didn't find out his questions were from elementary to profound. She answered all kinds of questions naturally and even thought that Lucas's friend was a good man and worthy of making friends with. "Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom."
During the dinner, Evelyn got up and left because of the nature's call.
As she left, Jacob lifted the glass beside his hand and took a sip.
"Well? Any discoveries?"
Lucas couldn't help asking.
Jacob looked at him, put down his glass, and said seriously, "Judging from the conversation with professional medical theory just now, your wife is normal in all aspects." Lucas frowned, "So what do you mean?"
Jacob nodded: "She doesn't have multiple personalities, at least in the conversation just now, there are not any signs or appearances."
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something else, and he slightly frowned.
"But there seems to be a place in her heart that no one else can touch, which makes her..."
It seemed that he could not find words to describe it, so he paused for two seconds before continuing: "Anxious, yes, it should be anxiety and fear."
After hearing what he said, Lucas was shocked and frowned tightly.
As far as he knew, Nora was afraid of nothing. Before he returned to China, she had no respect for anyone.
Of course, this knowledge was completely subverted after he returned to China. All the rumors about her disappeared.
"Are you sure she has panic in her heart?"
Anyway, Lucas didn't believe this conclusion.
Jacob knew it, and said, "Sure. Don't you believe me?"
If he didn't believe Jacob, there would be no doctor in the world that he can believe.
"Do you know what her fear is?"
Jacob shook his head and frowned, "I can't find it out for a while."
He said, looking at Lucas's handsome side face. Brightness flashed through his eyes, as if he had an idea.
"Although I can't find it out, you can observe her more on ordinary days, and then tell me often more about her. Maybe I can make a further observation."
As soon as he finished, Evelyn came back. Lucas could only swallow the words he just wanted to say and silently nodded to Jacob.
Later, they shifted the topic and talked about the current economy.
It didn't take long for the three to finish their meal. Jacob left first because he had something else to do.
After saying goodbye to Jacob, Lucas asked Evelyn, "Where are you going?"
Evelyn glanced at the crowded road and didn't know how to answer.
It seemed that she had no place to go except the villa.
Just as she was going to say she wants to go back, Lucas's voice was heard again, "Do you want to go to the head office?"
When Evelyn heard this, she looked at Lucas in surprise and her eyes were puzzled.
Lucas knew her doubts, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Anyway, you can't go to AZRY now. You have nothing to do after you go home. You can work there with me for a while. Of course, if you don't want to, it's OK." Evelyn pressed her lips and didn't know how to answer.
Lucas didn't know the tangle in her heart. Seeing she was silent for a long time, he raised his eyebrows.
"Well, you give up because of one setback?"
Evelyn knew that he was talking about she beat someone before.
"I love designing. I won't give up."
She looked firmly at Lucas.
Lucas was stunned by her firm look. After a long time, he came back to himself and said, "Great, then come with me."
