Chapter 143: Work is a hundred times harder without you

The following day.

Zaria kept her office since it was a waste of time to move to a different office when it was only a temporary arrangement. Besides, Lucy's new office was near Desmond's so it was still easy for her to move about.

In the morning when Lucy arrived, she stood before her nervously. She had worked for her father before. Why was she so tense working for her mother?

"I believe you have something to tell me." Lucy looked up and asked, totally in her official mode. She seemed to be treating her like she would treat any other assistant which made things easier and less awkward.

Zaria nodded. "Mum, there's someone who needs your audience. Natalie Sparks."

Lucy raised an eyebrow at Zaria's way of reporting it. "And there is a reason why you hope for me to reject her?"

She was embarrassed after being exposed but kept her stance. "I have no right to decide whether or not you should meet anyone. Shall I let her in?"
