It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 33

The next day, Malcolm left S City early. Lucia felt a soft k**s on her forehead, but she was still too sleepy to pay attention. When she woke up, the part of the bed next to her already had no heat. This made it clear that Malcolm had been gone for quite a while. Gina went to the apartment early to take care of Lucia’s daily needs.

Lucia felt so alone in this big house. At times it seemed as if the feeling of emptiness was suffocating him. The fortress of his heart had partially collapsed. Following Malcolm’s departure, the fear of losing him deeply affected Lucia. She sat silently in front of the French windows and looked at the scenery outside. Without saying a word, she sat like an ethereal doll.

It was rush hour, so traffic was heavy. She reached out and touched the shiny glass, then slowly withdrew her hand.

She stretched her injured leg at times as she walked slowly up and down the house. Her injured calf was recovering much faster than she had expected. With the support of the best doctor, the best medicines and the best therapy, this kind of recovery was no miracle. On the other hand, if life continued like this, she would surely become a useless person.

She would become a person active in thought but handicapped in action.

Lucia’s thoughts were muddled for a moment. But she made the effort to break away from such a chaotic mood and pulled herself together. She picked up her phone from the coffee table and contacted the company. Soon, Mae answered the call.

“Hello Lucia. How is your recovery going? We already miss you so much,” Mae said with great excitement after hearing Lucia’s voice.

” It’s awesome. In fact, I have already recovered. And I will return to work tomorrow,” Lucia replied while smiling.

Having a constantly energetic voice and a life full of challenges, that’s what she had to have. Lucia was always at the front, and she never let up because of small complications. How else could she be considered a workaholic?

“Oh, Lucia, we all look forward to seeing you again. We can’t wait to see you tomorrow. Hayes and the others said they’ll throw you a big welcome party. » Lucia heard the noises on the other end of the line. And Mae seemed so amused to the point that she burst out laughing too.

“See you tomorrow then. » Lucia hung up the phone with a beautiful, wide smile.

At Alexandria Airport in Egypt

Malcolm did not wear his usual costume. This time he wore simple pants and a black shirt. His deep-set eyes were hidden behind sunglasses. With one hand in his pants pocket and the other holding his phone, he stood at a distance and waited for Kaleb, who was collecting his luggage. He wanted to make a call, but after a little thought, he decided not to.

While carrying the luggage, Kaleb easily spotted Malcolm. Indeed, Malcolm was very recognizable in such a country with different skin tones. Kaleb was vigilant because Malcolm was too likely to be exposed to danger in such a situation.

However, Malcolm didn’t feel like he was the center of everyone’s attention. He just looked around indifferently.

Seeing Kaleb walking towards him, he headed towards the VIP corridor. Enoch had already sent someone to wait for Malcolm at the exit. And he personally stayed in the factory to avoid any untoward incident.

Kaleb opened the car door for Malcolm, then put the luggage in the trunk. Once the door closed, he sat in the passenger seat. As soon as he and Malcolm took their seats, the driver quickly drove off in the direction of the factory.

“Sir, we are being followed. “, Kaleb said in a tense voice.

Malcolm looked at the car’s monitoring system. In reality, they were actually followed by a camouflage jeep. She didn’t get any closer to them, but she was right on their heels. When the driver drove a little faster, the jeep also accelerated. If they slowed down, so did the jeep. All of a sudden, the jeep accelerated frantically and crashed into the car where Malcolm was. Fortunately, the driver reacted so quickly. The two vehicles collided and the tires screeched.

Kaleb pulled out a gun, loaded it, and prepared to fire at any moment. Malcolm sat quietly in the back seat. No one could know what he was thinking at that very moment. He stared indifferently at the dashboard, watching the jeep’s crazy movements.

Kaleb was disturbed by the maneuvers of the jeep and the sudden acceleration of their car. Perhaps what happened at the factory during this period also affected his judgment.

Egypt was not a safe country. This was noticed by the number of security guards who were in the airport. Under other skies, it was not normal for an airport to be surrounded by so many guards and even armed soldiers. If Malcolm was not mistaken, this should only be an intentional provocation.

Perhaps it was an action against foreigners, or a local terrorist organization, or a show of force. There were several possibilities, but it couldn’t be exclusively against them. Otherwise, the latter would not have used such a simple means.

“Speed ​​up and go straight to the factory.” Ignore this jeep. It’s not a threat,” Malcolm ordered indifferently. Then he closed his eyes to rest.

Kaleb looked at the jeep through the rearview mirror. The driver next to him accelerated and drove straight ahead. Sure enough, he saw that a person in the jeep broke away from the sunroof and involuntarily waved his middle finger. They seemed to have discovered that these strangers understood their provocation, so they turned around and looked for the next victim.

Malcolm’s car drove fast with no problem. Two hours later, they finally arrived at the factory. Enoch was already waiting for him at the door. Malcolm just gave him one look and went inside.

The meeting then began.

In DZ Media in S City

As soon as Lucia entered the office, Hayes and the others picked her up and threw her upwards. And to her surprise, she felt no pain in her calf when she came down. Other people joined in, constantly grabbing her and putting her down gently. They then took turns hugging her. It was their way of letting her know that they missed her and wished her a safe return.

“Lucia, welcome back,” Hayes said sincerely and gave Lucia another big hug.

“Oh, it’s so good to have you all,” Lucia said with emotion and hugged everyone tightly.

“Wow! The invincible and powerful Lucia can actually shed tears!

“You’re looking for trouble, huh?” Did you finish what I asked you to do yesterday? Send it to me right away,” Lucia told Hayes. Then she turned to Meade. “Meade, have you found a new model?” What is the Evans Group’s response? Before Meade could respond, she turned to Chester and asked, “Chester, what’s the status of the market research?” And what about the business plan? » Asking them the questions methodically, Lucia raised her eyebrows and waited for their answers.

“Hayes, I told you not to provoke Lucia, but you didn’t listen to me. Do you see now? Tough Lucia won’t show you a soft side. Only a man like Malcolm can make her submit,” Meade said. Then he quickly jumped up and returned to his office.

As expected, Lucia threw a file in the direction it went. Meade dodged skillfully. It seemed like he had rehearsed this sort of thing a thousand times. If he got hit, he might die or be seriously injured. Everyone knew that Lucia’s files were all heavy and scary.

” Hurry up! Get back to work! », ordered Lucia before heading towards her office. A busy day has begun.

She had been away for a few days, but things weren’t delayed because of her. The rest of his team members went about their work in an orderly manner. And they even helped her complete her part of the work. Lucia was touched by their efforts. They might have had a lot of fun at times, but they always cooperated seriously with her when it came to work.

She looked at the documents on her desk. Generally there were no problems with these. The only problem now was the selection of the new model. Ella’s agency has informed them that she is now awake, but will need at least six months to recover. They couldn’t wait that long, and they had to start filming the commercial quickly. The Evans Group had unilaterally terminated its contract with Ella and paid the total amount of liquidated damages as humanitarian aid.

As for new model candidates, Jay had been very picky.

Lucia looked carefully at the photos of the models, one by one. Each of them had its own charm, but you couldn’t focus on just one face. No wonder picky Jay failed to choose a suitable candidate.

The leading lady in the perfume ad should be both wild and intellectual. There should also be a trace of coquetry in her. Where could they replace such a woman? Lucia patted her face with both hands, trying to wake herself up.

“Lucia, here’s your coffee. » Mae’s soft voice came at just the right time. She brought a cup of coffee that Lucia had been waiting for for a long time.

“Oh, Mae, what would I do without you? I could die without any regrets with a confidante like you in my life,” Lucia said exaggeratedly.

Since his accident, his coffee addiction has been completely curbed. The doctor said caffeine would hinder her healing, so she cut it out of her life. Sometimes she looked at the coffee in Malcolm’s hand with hopeful eyes, but she was always rejected by his merciless gaze. Even when she was still in the hospital, she was always caught red-handed every time she wanted to sneak a cup of coffee. And when she was back home, Gina could always tell that she wanted to drink coffee. Every time she took out the cup, Gina appeared in front of her.

She wondered if Malcolm had installed a radar on her body. He was able to accurately guess her every move.

She took the cup and drank it with satisfaction. Looking out the window, she thought of Malcolm. He had been gone for two days. “How is he doing now?” ”, she thought. As if they had made an agreement, she didn’t call him, and neither did he.

When the last sip of coffee sank into Lucia’s stomach, she looked away. She spent her coffee break thinking and missing Malcolm. It was enough. Since she was a stubborn woman, she was a bit against him. But when she heard him say that he would miss her, she was inevitably touched. However, she didn’t tell him that she would miss him too.

When he was with her, she didn’t cherish him. But now that he was gone, she suddenly realized that she was used to having him by her side.

Lucia tried to put Malcolm out of her mind and read the messages in their group chat. They had a meeting at two in the afternoon. She then calmed down and went back to tending to her unfinished work.

Everything in his life was about to get back on track.
