Chapter 159
When she woke up this morning, she found a large bag full of them on the table in August's room, with one of them open.
Without asking, she knew what was going on.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but blush and forgot to answer Paula’s question.
Looking at a blush inexplicably appearing on Lucia's cheeks, Paula approached her and asked curiously, "Lucia, what's wrong with you? Are you thinking about a man?"
Lucia snapped back to her senses and hastily said, "No!"
Paula continued to tease her, "Then why do you look like that?"
Lucia didn’t know what to say.
When she caught a glimpse of Burton, who was not far behind them, she turned to flirt with Paula, "Paula, you're the one who's thinking about a man.He is right next to you, and you should seize the opportunity."
Hearing her say that, Paula first froze, and then reacted.
She blushed, angry and annoyed, and reached out to slap her on the back, "Lucia, what are you talking about?"
The two of them were having fun all the way.
After walking out of the airport, Burton suddenly came up to them and said, "I've called a car.Where are you going? I'll take you home first."
Paula suggested, "Lucia, how about we go to dinner first?"
Lucia agreed.
Looking at Burton and then at Paula, she smiled lightly, "Harris, thanks for your care along the way and you should come to dinner with us too.What do you think, Paula?"
With the blush still on her cheeks, Paula glanced at Burton and hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding reluctantly, "Since Lucia has given the word, let’s go to dinner together."
A light flashed under Burton's eyes, and his expression was no longer so serious.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
A short while later, the car Burton had called arrived. From NôvelDrama.Org.
The three of them got into the car and went straight to the nearby mall.
On the other side, in a chic villa in the suburbs.
With a crisp "pop" sound, a fine blue and white porcelain vase fell to the ground and turned into fragments.
A servant bent down and looked at the fragments all over the ground, not daring to raise his head in fear.
Next to him, a handsome man sat on a high-class multifunctional wheelchair.
He looked up at the window and asked leisurely, "Leandro, you were under my mother before, and now you have been with me for more than two years.Do you still not understand me?"
The middle-aged man called Leandro lowered his head and said repeatedly, "Mr.Adams, I understand."
"Then you should know exactly what I want."
He spoke in a calm tone, but with an indefinable coldness that made people fearful.
After a long silence, finally, he moved his lips, "For the sake of my mother, I'll give you one more chance.If you still can’t find the same vase and put me off with this kind of goods, you know what the consequences will be."
Leandro hastily responded, with his body bowed lower, "Yes, Mr.Adams, I got it..."
At that, Bishop frowned impatiently and waved his hand to indicate him to leave.
Soon, Leandro left and Bob walked in.
Seeing the vase fragments all over the floor, he, who always had a little expression, frowned, "Mr.Adams, you'll hurt yourself like this."
Hearing him say so, Bishop in the wheelchair sneered out and said self-deprecatingly, "If only I could really feel the pain."
He had not felt his legs for several years.
They were just for show because he could neither walk with them nor feel any pain in them! Bob paused and continued, "This resuscitation physical therapy is very effective and you should have confidence in yourself."
When he heard that, Bishop's face swept over with disgust.
After a few seconds, he digressed and asked, "What's wrong?"
When it came to business, Bob became expressionless again and reported the situation mechanically, "I received news that Lucia has returned Cannada."
Bishop hesitated for a moment and didn't seem particularly surprised, "Where's August? Still in Franksfurt?"
"Yes, none of his people have returned except Burton."
At that, Bishop casually picked up the bird food placed on the table next to him and threw it into the food box of the parrot.
The red-browed parrot standing on the stand immediately leaned over in excitement with a jump.
After pecking the food, it excitedly called out, "Master! Thank you, master!"
Bishop raised an eyebrow, with a sneer flashing across his eyes.
He then said unhurriedly, "Are the pictures from Franksfurt ready?"
Bob replied, "All ready."
Bishop clapped his hands, brushed away the bird food scattered on the blanket covering his lap, and said lightly, "You can send them to Jeanne now."
Bob nodded, "Yes."
After answering, he thought of something and said, "Mr.Adams, that Mandy Lu has come over and has been waiting downstairs for half an hour."
With his expression unchanged, Bishop continued to unhurriedly pick up the bird food and feed it to the red-browed parrot next to him, "Then let her wait for another half hour."
Mandy sat on the couch in the hall and scanned the surroundings.
Looking at the high-class decoration in the living room, she couldn't help but feel inward, "The owner here is really a rare rich person and the decoration of his house is exquisite to every detail."
After looking back and forth at the decoration of the house several times, she also felt bored.
More than forty minutes had passed, but no one had come to inform her of the meeting with the patient.
It was strange.
The assignment was given by the head of the department himself, who said that a distinguished VIP patient needed private nursing care.
Because of the patient's special condition, the place of care was at his home.
This was strange enough for her, but to her surprise, the mysterious patient did not show up even after she had waited here for a long time.
Finally, after another ten minutes, a man dressed in all black with no expression came downstairs and said to her in a hard voice, "Mandy, please follow me upstairs."
At the word, Mandy immediately got up and followed him up to the second floor and into a room.
In the spacious and bright room, a man who looked a little cold was sitting in a wheelchair.
Next to him was a table with a parrot stand on it.
The first word that popped into Mandy's head was "mysterious".
Bishop didn’t turn his head and said lightly, "Come here."
Hearing the voice, Mandy froze, and slowly walked forward under the gesture of Bob next to her.
Just as she was approaching, the parrot on the stand next to her suddenly tilted its head and squawked, "Beauty! Beauty!"
Bishop froze for a moment, with a flash of surprise under his eyes.
He turned his head and faintly swept a glance at Mandy's clean, white face, then he faintly averted his eyes.
She's ordinary looking.
Seeing the flash of disdain in the man’s eyes, Mandy paused and said seriously, "Mr.Adams, I am your caretaker, Mandy."
"Well, Bob will show you around to familiarize you with what the job entails.You can come to work tomorrow."
Bishop's tone was gentle and polite, but with a clear detachment.
Mandy nodded her head and was about to turn around to leave with Bob when she was suddenly called by Bishop.
"Mandy, I heard that you know Lucia?"
Hearing this name, Mandy was slightly stunned, then said softly, "She is my old friend.You know her?"
Bishop pulled the corner of his lips and said lightly, "Yes."
Of course, he knew her.
Lucia was his previous sister-in-law and his future pawn.
