Chapter 4

When they arrived at the elevator, the elevator door made a soft sound and opened. The female manager was about to enter when she saw who was inside and froze for a moment. She immediately respectfully called out, “Mr. Barton, Ms. Hoover.”

Scott’s face remained calm as his gaze shifted from behind the female manager to Lucie. He nodded slightly and said, “Hello.”

“Well, Mr. Barton, this is Lucie Barton, the student you specifically requested,” the female manager said with a smile.

Immediately, the female manager’s face lit up as she nodded and bowed to Scott. She then turned to Lucie and said, “Lucie, this is the deputy general manager of our company. Why don’t you greet Mr. Barton and Ms. Hoover?”

Lucie stood still like she had been struck, staring at Scott in the elevator. It took her quite a while to regain her senses.

“Scott, who is she? Why did you specifically request her? She seems pretty dumb and looks like a minor,”

Yvonne had her arms around Scott’s. Leaning on him, she examined Lucie before pouting discontentedly.

Scott smiled and gently caressed Yvonne’s long hair with his hand. “She’s my classmate’s sister who just graduated and is looking for a job. I’m just helping her out.”

“But not just anyone can enter Sleight Technology, right? Even though your classmate asked you to take care of her, you couldn’t randomly agree!” Yvonne grumbled.

Scott smiled and looked at Yvonne with a gentle gaze. “Why? Are you afraid I’ll be interested in her?”

“You would never,” Yvonne immediately denied. “With her skinny figure, she’s definitely not your type. You like someone like me.”

As Yvonne spoke, she straightened her impressive chest. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lucie finally snapped out of her daze, watching the two inside the elevator openly flirt with each other.

Lucie looked down and forced a smile.

She knew Yvonne, who was the cherished daughter of the prestigious Hoover family in Jedon City.

But the woman who sat in Scott’s car yesterday was not Yvonne.

Scott curved his lips meaninglessly and suddenly changed the topic. “Lucie’s quite outstanding, always ranking first in the Department of Foreign Languages of Jedon University every year.”

“Hmph!” Yvonne dismissed it. “A bookworm.”

“Lucie, what are you staring at?” The female manager noticed that Lucie had been standing there in silence and pulled her aside.

Lucie showed a faint, gentle smile on her face and greeted the two in the elevator. “Mr. Barton, Ms. Hoover, nice to meet you.”

“Come in.” Scott finally looked at Lucie and spoke.

Lucie nodded and stepped in.

The female manager did not follow them. With a beam, she watched the elevator doors close.

Soon, the elevator quickly ascended.

Yvonne continued to cling onto Scott’s arm. She looked up at him with a face full of admiration and adoration and chatted with him, while Lucie stood in the corner of the elevator, completely ignored.

In just a few seconds, the elevator made another soft sound and arrived at the 67th floor.

After Scott and Yvonne stepped out of the elevator, they walked straight to the office. Lucie stayed behind, not entering Scott’s office.

Lucie waited outside until half an hour later when Yvonne came out.

Seeing Lucie standing dazedly in the resting area, not even sitting on the couch, Yvonne felt quite satisfied. She walked over with crossed arms and got close to Lucie before warning Lucie in a voice only they could hear. “Let me tell you, Scott is mine. If you dare to seduce him, I’ll kill you.”

Lucie hung her head and didn’t say anything.

Yvonne coldly hummed and walked away, full of content.

“Are you Lucie? Mr. Barton asked you to go in,” another woman said as she approached Lucie.

The woman smiled at Lucie and said, “I am Mr. Barton’s secretary.”

Lucie looked at the genuinely friendly woman and gratefully beamed. After thanking her, Lucie knocked on Scott’s office door.

Inside, Scott was busy reading some documents. He replied without looking up, “Come in.”

Lucie entered and immediately noticed the lipstick marks on Scott’s white shirt collar.

They weren’t there in the elevator just now.

“Mr. Barton,” Lucie said softly after a glance.

“Have a seat.” Scott still didn’t look up.

However, Lucie didn’t sit down obediently. She just stood there.

After a while, Scott finally raised his head, his deep black eyes shimmering like flowing light as he stared at Lucie without blinking. He curled his lips and said, “It seems like your legs are no longer sore.”

Lucie’s hands hanging by both sides tightened slightly into a fist, but they quickly relaxed. She looked up at Scott calmly and asked, “Mr. Barton, what can you give me if I’m with you?”

“Ha!” Scott laughed at the straightforward Lucie. “What do you want?”

“Money,” Lucie replied.

Scott laughed again. “Would 1,600 dollars be enough each time?”

“No need.” Lucie’s voice was firm. “160 dollars will do.”

“160 dollars each time,” Scott repeated and raised his eyebrows. “It looks like you’ll have to work hard every day to afford your sister’s medical expenses.”

Lucie was speechless.
