The look silenced Lucy instantly; the words she’d been about to say stuck in her throat. She didn’t dare utter another syllable. Mr. Jensen was terrifying right now; all she wanted was to return to the residence.

Jensen took a long, deliberate breath. In the end, he said nothing, simply tossed the phone back to Lucy and muttered weakly, “Go. I don’t need you here.”

“But Madam Loretta said you’d been drinking too much and told me to come take care of you.”

Lucy still had a sense of duty.

Jensen slumped against the sofa and said flatly, “I’m not drunk. I don’t need your care. Go back to the residence.”

Lucy felt as if she’d just been granted a reprieve; every nerve in her body urged her to bolt for the door. But then Loretta’s worried face flickered through her mind, and she faltered.

Madam Loretta reminded us that Luke Corp is no less capable. Yes, the stock market has been volatile lately and many shareholders have offloaded their stakes–but that creates the perfect chance to restructure Luke Corp. If we could secure a partnership with Stone Group, it might not only strengthen the company, but also open a path for you to see Ms. Stone again.”

She had spoken with conviction.

Jensen froze.

Then excitement surged through him.

“Lucy, you’re right. I can work with Stone Group; I’d even give up some profit if I had to.”

He immediately grabbed his phone and called Hansel.
