Chapter 40 Gratitude


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


    In the office, Charlie was reading documents.


    ng! ng! ng.


    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 hase 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] red 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 sh of


    sadness in his eyes.


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


    "You''re wee, 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 nced 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 sses 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 theye to express their thanks today? Why did he feel that they were here to make him


    ufortable? ''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 nced 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 notck 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 ss 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 ss in Leah''s hand, raised her head and picked up another ss 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.


    "Then what do you want, Mr. Charlie? As long as it is within my ability. " Lucian had expected his


    answer.


    "Your confidante." Staring at Leah, Charlie said slowly.


    "I haven''t found her yet. What''s more, you can''t take her away from me. You''d better think of another


    one." Lucian squinted dangerously.


    "In that case, please go back, Mr. Lucian. I haven''t thought of the reward yet. You remember to owe me


    a favor." Charlie asked them to leave. He felt that if they stayed in his office one more minute, he would


    explode.


    "Then we are leaving now." Lucian and Leah stood up and walked out of the office. On the way, Lucian


    held Leah''s waist tightly.


    "Lucian, let go of me." Leah felt a little embarrassed to see so many people in thepany looking at


    them.


    "No." Lucian stopped and held her in his arms. Under the watchful eyes of the public, he bit her ear and


    slowly exhaled a trace of heat.


    "Hurry!" Leah thought that she couldn''t stay here any longer, so she dragged Lucian away.


    "Ha ha." Lucian chuckled and let her hold his hand. The soft touch scratched his heart.


    Angus and Zoe hade back. Lucian sent a message to Angus that the child should be in Z city.


    At the airport, Leah was waiting for them with several people.


    "Hi, Leah." When Angus got off the ne and saw Leah, he excitedly pulled Zoe and walked towards


    her quickly.

    "Hi, you must be tired all the way. Get in the car."


    In the car, Zoe kept silent and looked at Leah timidly.


    Sitting on the passenger seat, Leah looked at the rearview mirror and thought, ''I don''t look terrible. Why


    does this little girl look afraid of me?''.


    "This must be Zoe. We haven''t seen each other for a while. You are more beautiful." Leah tried her


    best to make her voice sound friendly.


    "That''s right. My little Zoe is very beautiful, isn''t she?" Angus looked at Zoe withcency in his


    eyes.


    Zoe still didn''t say anything, and the fear in her eyes was obvious.


    Angus seemed to have noticed something. "Zoe'', are you afraid of Leah?"


    Zoe nodded honestly, "I hurt Miss Leah before. Does Miss Leah hate me?"


    Leah thought the girl was more lovely in an instant. "Of course not. I''ve already forgotten that. Zoe, I''ve


    always liked you."


    "Really?" Zoe''s eyes lit up in an instant.


    "Of course it''s true. I missed Zoe so much since we came back here."


    "Can we be friends?" Zoe was a little childish. Maybe she was spoiled by Angus.


    "Of course, I''m older than you. You can just call me Leah. I''ll take you to have fun these days." Leah


    didn''t know why she liked Zoe so much.


    "Leah, ha ha." Zoe smiled and squinted, revealing two canine teeth.


    Seeing that Zoe was happy, Angus was also happy.


    After a while, they arrived at the Great Garden. Hugh had already arranged a room for them. After they


    settled down, Leah went out with Zoe.


    In the study, Angus looked at Lucian strangely.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Lucian frowned. He didn''t like others to look at him like that.


    "I heard that you were hurt before. You and Leah are on good terms." Angus rolled his eyes at him.


    "Why don''t youfort me even if you know I''m injured?" Lucian nced at him.


    "All right, all right. My fault. I ept the punishment." Angus shrugged.


    "I''m going to change the manager of the research and development department. You can temporarily


    rece him and support my little girl for a period of time." Lucian said in a low voice. He knew that the


    most direct way was to support her in the nearest ce.


    Angus was a little depressed. "I''m a CEO. You ask me to be your follower."


    "Any problem?" Lucian raised his eyebrows.


    "I want 55 percent of the profits from the first project of Leah." Angus stated his conditions.


    "Aren''t you afraid that she will lose money for her first project?"


    "Is the person you Lucian fancies so bad? I found out that Leah has something to do with the Bai


    family. Do you think she will lose money for the project she has done? " Angus sat up straight with a


    gleam shining in his eyes.


    Lucian smiled slowly. No matter whether she had anything to do with the Bai family or not, the person


    he liked was definitely not bad.


    "Zoe, where do you want to go?" Leah asked.


    "I want to go to the amusement park." Zoe was a little childish.


    "Okay."


    In the amusement park, Leah apanied Zoe to the ticket office of the roller coaster.


    Looking at such a high and tortuous path, Leah swallowed and said, "Zoe, are you sure we want to


    y this? It''s so high. "


    "Ha ha, Leah, are you afraid?" Zoe covered her mouth andughed.


    "Yes, I''m a little scared." Leah was a little embarrassed.


    "Don''t be afraid. I''ll hold your hand..." Speaking of this, Zoe suddenly covered her head in pain.


    "Zoe, don''t be afraid. I''ll hold your hand." A gentle male voice rang in her mind.


    "Zoe. Zoe." Leah asked anxiously, "What''s wrong?"


    Zoe didn''t say anything. Leah took her to a rest chair.


    "Leah, a person who has lost the memory is living a good life now. Is it necessary to remember the past


    memory?" Zoe muttered.


    "The past is important, but you must cherish the present."


    "Okay..."


    "Zoe?" A man''s voice came from above.


    Leah raised her head and asked in surprise, "Jacob?"
