David frowned.
Glancing at the woman in front of him, he was unsure of what to do.
This Lucia was not as weak as Mike said, rather he felt she was couple hardness with softness, not
easy to mess with.
At this point, he had no reason to continue to make things difficult for Lucia, so he simply went along
with Lucia's words, "I'll sign for you this time, but if you don't have all the documents next time, it's
useless for you to say anything!"
Lucia bowed slightly at him and promised, "Okay, thanks."
After all the documents were approved, Lucia left the Finance Department, and her hand holding the
documents was slightly hot.
Just now she was also not completely sure and she said to report to the President's Office was just to
test David.
If it was like he said that this was all the leader's request, he could never easily compromise.
But in the end, he compromised, which meant that there was something wrong...
Could it be that Mike had really instructed him to do this? Irene had suffered a loss this time but didn't
dare to speak up, so she definitely hated her and might say something in front of her family.
If she said anything about her in front of Mike, Mike would definitely do something about her.
But no matter what, the matter at hand was resolved.
At least she had finished what her colleagues in the Administration Department had given her, and she
could only be more careful in the future.
When she returned to the Administration Department and just walked to the desk area, her colleagues
stood up one by one and asked for the result.
Lucia smiled at them and raised the documents in her hand, "Don't worry, everyone, all the documents
have been approved, but David from the Finance Department explained that our future documents will
be approved only when they are full."
Once they heard that the matter was resolved, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and had smiles
on their faces.
Emma happily rushed over and shook Lucia's arm, excitedly saying, "Lucia, you're wonderful!"
Several colleagues next to her also nodded in agreement, praising Lucia.
On the other hand, Lisa stood in a corner position.
Looking at Lucia who was surrounded by people, she scowled.
She didn't expect that Lucia would really go to the Finance Department and get things done as well as
that she would be recognized by so many people.
Seeing that Lisa was not too happy, the female colleague standing next to Lisa, named Joanna,
hastened to comfort her, "Lisa, although she is in the limelight at this time, her workability is still not as
good as yours and we all still recognize you the most!"
Instead of making Lisa happy, these flattering words made her feel even more in danger.
She stared straight at Lucia and said coldly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
She always ordered takeaway and milk tea for her colleagues in the department, but she didn't expect
that in the end, such a small thing would make them change their opinion of Lucia, so she couldn't be
sure of what would happen in the future.
By the time Carter was promoted, the position of supervisor in the department would definitely be either
hers or Lucia’s.
She felt more and more threatened now.
If she didn't do something about it, sooner or later, that bitch Lucia would get a promotion and a raise
instead of her! Lisa clenched her fist and looked at Lucia with a cold light under her eyes.
Secretly gritting her teeth, she made up her mind that she would never let that day come! The next day,
the task statistics for each department were completed and everyone was relieved to know that the
Administration Department's tasks met the target.
At this time, everyone was waiting for the bonus to arrive and the atmosphere in the whole department
was much more pleasant than usual.
After finishing the day's work, Lucia picked up her phone and found that Paula had called her several
times.
Lucia glanced at the time, and it was already time to leave work.
Worried that something important was going on with Paula, Lucia called her back immediately.
"Hello, Paula, what's up?"
"Let's go out tonight.I met up with some of our college friends yesterday and we agreed to go out
today.They all told me to ask you to come along and you cannot refuse me!"
Listening to Paula's excited voice on the other end of the phone, Lucia laughed helplessly.
When they were at school, Paula was one of the most playful and rowdy people in the class.
Nowadays, her fun-loving nature had not changed.
Lucia thought about it, not wanting to make Paula unhappy.
It was just as well that she didn't have anything to do after work, so she simply agreed, "Fine, since
you've said so, I'll just have to go with you."
"Okay, it's a deal.I'll pick you up later and we'll go eat first!"
After hanging up the phone, Lucia thought it would be a while before Paula came over, so she finished
the month-end forms by hand.
Then, she shut down her computer and went downstairs to the company and didn't wait for a while
before a sleek red sports car drove by.
The sound of the sports car's engine roaring resoundingly, with the last sound rising, drew many
people's attention.
Lucia was a little surprised when she looked up and saw Paula in the driver's seat wearing a black
sequined halter dress with big curly hair.
She walked up and exclaimed, "Paula, why are you so high-profile today?"
Paula lifted her hand and pushed her sunglasses, revealing a pair of seductive phoenix eyes.
She smiled and said, "I'm meeting my old schoolmates today, so of course, I want to look good.
Lucia, get in the car!"
Lucia walked around the front of the car.
As soon as she got into the car, Paula leaned over and lowered her voice, saying, "The point is that
Gigi will be here tonight too."
Only after hearing her say so did Lucia understand.
Gigi was their schoolmate from a different class in their year, and she was arrogant because she
looked good and her family was well off, with her father a cadre in the city hall.
Gigi had fallen in love with Paula's boyfriend when in school and took the initiative to pursue him,
sending him gifts and money, which led to Paula and her boyfriend breaking up.
So, the two of them could be considered love rivals.
As the saying goes, "Meeting rivals opens old wounds."Gigi took a high profile, and Paula naturally did
not want to be compared to her.When the two of them met, there would be a fierce fight.
When it came to Gigi, Paula stepped on the gas pedal and grunted, "Today I want to see if she is still
as wild as before!"
Lucia laughed and advised her, "Come on, Paula, it's all in the past."
As she heard this, Paula's eyes lit up and she suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of the past
things, there is a man coming today and he can be considered your old lover!"
Old lover? Lucia froze.
She had only had one relationship with that scumbag Archibald, and who was her old lover? Before
she could ask, Paula laughed and said, "That's Kirk Douglas, the study overlord who has been chasing
you for three years."
Hearing this name, Lucia first froze, and then searched her mind for this name.
Kirk, the study overlord in their class, was a loyal and upright person.He had been crushing on Lucia at
first, but later she got together with Archibald, so he never showed his feelings to Lucia.
From graduation to now, they had not seen each other for more than two years.
