Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 40

On the second morning, Lucian and Leah went to the Glory Group.

In the office, Charlie was reading documents.

Clang! Clang! Clang.

Without raising his head, Charlie said, "Come in."

The female secretary walked in gracefully and said with a smile, "Mr. Charlie, the president of MZ group, Mr. Lucian together with Miss Ye has come to visit."

Charlie paused and looked up at the Secretary, "Which Miss Ye?"

"Miss Leah." The Secretary replied.

"What's the matter with them?" Charlie put down his pen.

"Mr. Lucian said he was here to thank you."

'Thank me? For what happened yesterday?'

"Invite them in."

He would like to see how Lucian would thank him.

"Yes, sir."

In the lounge, Leah grabbed her clothes and looked a little nervous.

"Nervous?" Lucian held Leah's waist and asked softly.

"A little?" Leah nodded.

Lucian smiled, "it's just an ex-boyfriend. Your real boyfriend is here. Why are you so nervous?"

Hearing this, Leah] glared at him. The tense atmosphere was ruined by him.

Lucian smiled more brightly when she saw a pair of almond eyes staring at him.

"Mr. Lucian, Miss Leah, Mr. Charlie invites you in." The female secretary walked into the lounge and made a gesture of "please".

"Let's go." Lucian stood up, straightened his clothes and reached out his hand to Leah who was sitting on the sofa.

Leah smiled at him and put her hand in his palm.

In the office, Charlie looked at the possessive hand on Leah's waist and pursed his lips, with a flash of sadness in his eyes.

"Mr. Lucian, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Charlie politely reached out his hand.

"You're welcome, Mr. Charlie." Lucian held his hand and looked at the man coldly.

Leah felt her hands on her waist tightened. She frowned and looked at Lucian. They seemed to be at a stalemate.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Lucian." Charlie bent his long legs and sat on the sofa. Lucian held Leah's waist and sat opposite him.

Charlie glanced at Leah and then looked at Lucian, "Mr. Lucian and Miss Leah, what brings you here today?"

"In terms of my little girl's incident these days, thanks for your help." Lucian said politely, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

"No, it's my pleasure." 'Little girl? They had only known each other for a few days. How could he call her little girl.'

Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The female secretary came in and brought three cups of coffee. "Mr. Charlie, Mr. Lucian and Miss Leah, please have some coffee."

"Please change into two glasses of water." Leah smiled. Lucian hadn't fully recovered yet. Coffee wasn't good for her wound.

The female secretary took a look at Charlie and took two cups of coffee away.

Lucian didn't look at Leah, but smiled. His little girl was so considerate. She knew that coffee was bad for his wound.

Somehow, Leah felt very happy. Her hands around her waist had never been loosened and even tightened. She knew that Lucian understood what she meant. Well, it felt good to be understood.

"Mr. Lucian and Miss Leah don't like coffee?" Charlie sensed the strange behavior of the two people in front of him and asked.

"She doesn't like coffee." Lucian nodded.

"I'm really sorry. It seems that Mr. Lucian and Miss Leah are on good terms. Miss Leah doesn't like it, and Mr. Lucian doesn't drink either." Charlie teased deliberately, with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

Lucian sensed that there was something wrong with Charlie's tone, "Whether I like it or not, it's up to her. I'll listen to her."

Hearing this, Leah blushed and bit her lips without saying anything. She pinched his waist with her little hand.

With a false smile, Charlie stared at Leah and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Lucian, you are so lucky to have such a beauty in your arms."

Did they come to express their thanks today? Why did he feel that they were here to make him uncomfortable? 'It's up to her.' Did it mean that Lucian would indulge Leah in everything? Well, did they come to him to show off their love?

Ignoring the change of the expression on Charlie's face, Lucian glanced at Leah and said with a gentle smile, "I think so, too."

Charlie felt goose bumps all over his body, and a nameless anger rose in his heart. He disgusted him in his territory, "Miss Leah should not lack of people to chase, right?"

"Yes, but his pursuers are not worth mentioning in my eyes." Lucian looked at Charlie with provocation in his eyes.

Charlie lost his temper. Did Lucian mean that he was nothing to him?

"It's natural that Mr. Lucian is so excellent. But I heard that Mr. Lucian has a girlfriend. Have you found her?" Charlie picked up the coffee on the table, put it to his mouth, blew gently and took a sip.

"Drink some water, okay?" Lucian also took a glass of water from the table and put it in front of Leah's mouth.

Leah pinched his waist and said, "I can do it myself."

Lucian put the glass in Leah's hand, raised her head and picked up another glass of water. "After I have my little girl, I only know to cherish the person in front of me."

Charlie felt a tightness in his chest, "Why is the coffee so bitter?"

Lucian smiled, "I'm really grateful that you are willing to help me this time. I'll thank you with great reward."

"Reward? Then how are you going to thank me, Mr. Lucian? " Said Charlie with a cold smile.
