In case she might forget it, Lucie put it down in her notebook.

Coming out of Scott’s flat and looking at the bustling scene in front of her, Lucie finally knew that his apartment was located in the most expensive area in Jedon City, and the flat of more than 300 square meters where he lived was worth more than 50 thousand dollars per square meter.

It was Apartment 1 of Jedon Bay, the most luxurious mansion in Jedon City.

Looking at the luxurious mansion behind her again, Lucie turned around and got on the bus to the hospital.

Lucie moved Phoebe from an ordinary ward to a VIP ward and hired a nursing assistant for Phoebe.

By the time Lucie had gotten everything arranged, it was noon.

After grabbing a bite to eat on the side of the road, Lucie went back to her rental house to pack her things up.

Lucie had finished her graduation thesis defense and would officially graduate from college soon. So, to move to Scott’s place, she had nothing else to pack except her computer and usual clothes.

Lucie wasn’t going to give up the rental, because she thought in that case, if Scott got tired of her and kicked her out, at least she would have somewhere to go.

All Lucie’s stuff just fitted into a suitcase.

When Lucie pulled the suitcase downstairs and was walking to the subway station, her phone vibrated in her bag.

Lucie took her phone out and saw that it was Jeffrey, her senior in college, calling.

Jeffrey was two years ahead of Lucie, majoring in broadcasting and hosting. Now he was already the most famous radio host in Jedon City.

“Hello, Jeffrey.” Lucie immediately answered the call.

“Lucie, how was the graduation thesis defense the other day? Did it go well?” Jeffrey asked, smiling with concern.

“Not bad!”

“Great!” Jeffrey, on the other side of the line, changed the topic. “Are you free from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.? If you are available, how about having dinner together? There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

“What’s wrong, Jeffrey?” Lucie asked.

“Don’t worry! I have some good news. I’ll let you know when we meet.” Jeffrey didn’t tell Lucie anything at the moment.

After some hesitation, Lucie replied, “OK. Then please text me the address.”

“OK.”

When Lucie hung up, she immediately received the address of the restaurant Jeffrey had booked, and it was near where he worked.

Lucie did a navigation check and found out it would take her over an hour to get there by subway.

Lucie looked at the time again and saw that it was already past three o’clock in the afternoon, so she decided to go straight to the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, when Lucie arrived, Jeffrey had already arrived and was sitting by the window waiting for her.

Seeing that Lucie was dragging a suitcase, Jeffrey rushed over to offer a hand.

“What’s wrong? You’re moving?” Jeffrey took the suitcase from Lucie’s hand and asked.

Lucie nodded with a smile. Then she changed the topic. “I’m afraid I might be late, so I pulled my suitcase over.”

Apparently not bothered, Jeffrey pulled Lucie’s suitcase over, smiled, and led her to the seat by the window. Then he handed her the menu and said, “Here is the menu. Let’s order first and talk while we eat.”

Lucie smiled, took the menu, and ordered two dishes, and then she handed the menu back to Jeffrey.

Jeffrey ordered two more dishes.

“Jeffrey, you said you had something good to tell me. What is it?” When the waiter walked away after they took the order, Lucie took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

Jeffrey also took a sip of tea, and his smile was indescribably gentle. “Lucie, do you remember that audio novel we recorded together six months ago?”

“Yes.” Lucie nodded with bright eyes.

Seeing how calm Lucie seemed, Jeffrey burst into laughter. “So you certainly haven’t logged on to the platform recently to see the number of streams for the audio novel, right?”

Lucie shook her head and asked with curiosity, “What’s wrong?”

Jeffrey smiled, “Then you log in and have a look now.”

Hearing what Jeffrey said, Lucie immediately took out her phone and clicked on a well-known audio app across the country to check the audio novel she recorded with him six months ago.

Lucie was stunned.

It was completely out of her expectations.

It had already got 206 million views.

“Jeffrey…”

“Nice surprise, isn’t it?” Jeffrey asked happily.

Lucie nodded with her eyes full of joy. “It’s more than a surprise!”

This audio novel Lucie and Jeffrey had recorded was just a short one with over 300,000 words. It was really surprising to have this number of views.

“Here is another surprise.” Jeffrey took another sip of tea and calmed himself down. “Just this morning, the staff of the platform contacted me and offered to sign with us.”

“Sign with us?” Lucie didn’t quite get what that meant.

“Yes!” Jeffrey nodded solemnly. “Now that the audio novel has got so many views, the platform will naturally come to us and ask us to sign a contract. And once we sign a contract and the audio novel we recorded is charged for listening, the platform will start to share the profits with us, and we will make money.”

“Really?” Lucie was overjoyed.

In the beginning, Lucie had never thought about making money through her voice, but Jeffrey said that she had a beautiful voice and asked her if she was interested in recording a novel with him, which would not take much time.

At first, Lucie agreed because she thought it was a good chance to learn something new.

After all, Lucie thought the more skills she could master, the better.

And to Lucie’s surprise, now she could make money with her voice.

“Of course, it is true!” Jeffrey said as he took out a contract from a nearby file pocket and handed it to Lucie. “Here’s the contract. I’ve already negotiated with the platform. The revenue will be split forty-sixty. The platform gets 40% while we get 60%. And then we will go fifty-fifty.”

Lucie took the contract and began to read it excitedly.

Although such a contract was new to Lucie, she could understand it well.

Jeffrey then said, “See if there is any problem with it. If it’s all right, we can sign the contract today.”

“OK. No problem.”

Just as Lucie looked up at Jeffrey with joy and excitement, on the road not far from the restaurant, a black Bentley slowly stopped because of the red light in front of it.

In the back seat of the Bentley, Scott was looking down at his phone. Suddenly, Yvonne beside him leaned over and pointed to the restaurant by the roadside outside the window. “Look, Scott! Isn’t that your classmate’s sister?”

Hearing that, Scott turned to look.

Through the two clear glass windows, Scott saw Lucie sitting by the window, looking happily at another man, and his deep black eyes slightly darkened.

“Yes,” Scott responded indifferently, turned away, and continued to look at his phone.

Yvonne raised her eyebrows and asked, “Do you think that handsome guy sitting across from her is her boyfriend?”

Scott lowered his head and snorted, “If you say so.”
