Hearing that, Lucia came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at Paula and Kirk. "Sorry, maybe I'm too tired from working today." Kirk curled his lips and expressed his understanding. "It's okay, Lucia. We'll take you back once the food is served and we'13
rest.” Lucia nodded and said softly, "Okay." Paula, who knew Lucia so well, could see that she was not tired from work, but had something on her mind. When Kirk went to the restroom, Paula couldn't help but ask, "Lucia, what's wrong with you?" "Nothing Paula raised her eyebrows knowingly. "Nothing? Just now, you have been distracted all the what Paula said, but she knew Paula was right. She kept thinking of August's face, which was unpleasant. She wanted to stop thinking about him, but her mind was out of control. Lucia took a deep breath. She slightly leaned over closer to Paula and asked in a low voice, "Paula, why do you think I keep’
thinking about August?"
at Lucia. "Do you need me to tell'®
you? Isn't it obvious? Because you love him!" "Nonsense!" Lucia's face instantly flushed red and she subconsciously denied it "It's not possible.” "Why not?" Paula looked as if she was right. Just think about it, why aren't you thinking about Kirk or my brother all the time tonight? Why are you just thinking about August?” Those
After pausing for a few seconds, she shook her head and said in a firm tone, "That's impossible. I hate him. Maybe I've seen too much of him lately.” ®
She would never consider a womanizer like August, who had many love affairs. In addition, she had experienced an unpleasant marriage with August, so how could she possibly fall in love with him? Thinking that, Lucia assured Paula once again, "I'll never fall for him, really."
When Paula heard that, the corners of her mouth turned up in a subtle smile, but she pretended to
believe what Lucia said. "Alright, I believe you. It's best if you don't love him, or my brother will
definitely feel sad when he finds out about it."
Kirk to stop the car and said goodbye to them before’
she pushed the door open to get out. Just as she was about to close the door, Kirk suddenly spoke up and stopped her. “Lucia.” At the sound of his voice, Lucia turned to him and asked softly, "Yes, what is it?" Kirk tried to say something, seemingly having a lot to tell her. However, Paula was still sitting in the car, so he paused and pointed to the flowers on the passenger side, saying, You forgot to take the flowers.” Lucia looked over and saw the lone bouquet sitting there. Feeling sorry, she hurriedly went over to pick the flowers up and smiled at him apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't see them just now.” Kirk looked at Lucia tenderly and said softly, "It's okay. Just go back and have a good night."
Lucia nodded at him and then waved at Paula before turning to walk into the neighborhood. As soon as she got through the gate, her phone suddenly dinged and she picked it up to see that it was a message from Paula. "Tsk tsk! Kirk is really
smitten.” Then her phone vibrated again, and it was an emoji from Paula.'®
She curled her lips without replying. She knew very well in her mind that she had no two years ago and neither did she now,'®
For her, it was better to think more about her work thon to concentrate on a romantic relationship now. Besides, her father had to have surgery and she must prepare for it'®

out of the apartment and went straight to the airport by taxi. After more than four hours, the plane arrived at Bearlin Airport.’ ®
Getting off the plane with her fellow passengers, Lucia felt a distinct wave of heat coming over her. She was already covered’
in sweat when they arrived at the terminal by shuttle bus.
Luckily, a representative from Teda Corporation came to meet them at the airport. The group got into the vehicle prepared in advance and went directly to the hotel where they had reservations. At the hotel, Natalie assigned the rooms after they checked in. Each of them got a single room with a large bed, which was pretty good. They were all very excited and kept chattering. "Come on, Lucia. Your room is opposite mine!" ®
Linda from the Marketing Department enthusiastically took Lucia's hand and went straight into the elevator.
Once inside the elevator, someone immediately asked, "Natalie, what are our plans for this afternoon and evening?" ®
We'll have the afternoon off. In the evening, Teda will entertain us for dinner. No
"Okay!"
Jimmy, do you want to go shopping this afternoon?" ®
Yes, Jane, are you coming?" ®
Lucia looked at the happy group, and the corners of her mouth turned up as well. Linda turned to look at Lucia and asked, "Are you coming, Lucia?". Lucia shook her head and said lightly, "No, I'll take a rest.” In her room, Lucia finally had some peace. After a shower, she closed the curtains and went to sleep. When she woke up at six o'clock, she simply got cleaned up and went to the lobby. The dinner party was hosted by receptionists from Teda Corporation. Since they were also from Cannada, the exchanges went well without any obstacles and the atmosphere was pleasant. It was over after an hour or so. When they came out of the restaurant, they were all free to move around in groups of two or three. Linda took Lucia's hand"
and asked, "Are you going back to the hotel, Lucia?" Lucia smiled at her and said softly, "No, you can go back first. I'll go and buy a phone card."
Although she would be in Franksfurt for just a few days, she still missed Mr. and Mrs. and found a store that sold phone cards. She stopped a taxi and asked the driver to take her there.'®
t took less than half an hour to go there and back ®
The tex stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Before she got out Lucia asked about the fare. "How much is it Sr? The ta driver could speak a lt English. He showed her four of his fingers and said, “400 FRD."'®
Lucia was a little stunned when she heard that ®
400 FRID was about 15 dollars. It was a short trip to and from the store. How could ft cost that much?

Was the driver deliberately asking for a higher fare because she was from Cannada?'®
