Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Being Denied (8) Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Being Denied (8) “Can you please not come up with terrible ideas?” Andy Aguirre disagreed, having just glanced at the wound was deep, but it was on the neck, and no one would specifically stare at the neck. He felt it wasn’t necessary at all.

“Hey, can you really call my suggestions terrible?” Megan Clifton felt very uncomfortable hearing Andy Aguirre’s choice of words.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing over her, Carolline Ruiz shook her head, not understanding how their minds worked or how they could start an argument over a few words.

At that moment, Carolline Ruiz received a call from Lucy Wade. Lucy was returning to G City today. Originally, she had made arrangements with Bryan Hawkins, but instead of having Xavier Estrada pick her up, she asked Caroline to do it.

She didn’t know about what had happened to Carolline Ruiz, so she called as soon as she got off the plane.

“You’re at the airport, can’t you take a taxi by yourself?” Carolline thought she was just about to return, but turned out the little miss had already arrived. It wasn’t her first time in G City after all.

Such is the life of a rich lady. She’s really hard to deal with.

“No, no, I can’t. You must come quickly.” After that, Lucy hung up the phone.

Carolline Ruiz looked at her phone speechlessly. Lucy’s domineering nature from the past was fully revealed. She had no choice but to tell Megan Clifton and Andy Aguirre about the situation.

To this day, Megan Clifton is still like those young celebrity-chasing girls. Hearing that it was the superstar Lucy Wade, she insisted on going along to get Lucy’s autograph.

Carolline couldn’t resist her, so she had to bring her along. Andy Aguirre, who was worried about Carolline Ruiz, also had to come along.

Meanwhile, Lucy’s spoiled and willful behavior was unbearable to the man sitting next to her. “Isn’t this tormenting your old classmate? And you call her a childhood friend?”

“You don’t know, we torment each other. The little ungrateful wretch didn’t even send me a New Year’s greeting. It’s just outrageous. I’ll make her pick me up and treat me to a meal.” Lucy Wade clung to Wilson Chase’s arm as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

At the moment, they were sitting in the VIP lounge at the airport. Wilson Chase was more famous internationally. Although Lucy had many young fans, she came back early today. Therefore, besides informing Bryan Hawkins and Carolline Ruiz, she didn’t make a public announcement.

Moreover, she wore an extremely ugly mask. During the whole flight, she wasn’t recognized. Of course, it was also because she was in the First Class Cabin, where passengers have much better manners than those in economy class.

When Carolline Ruiz and company arrived, they called Lucy, who then appeared from the VIP room, holding Wilson Chase’s arm.

Carolline Ruiz and company took a taxi. Wilson Chase actually had arranged a car to pick them up, but Lucy, like a spoiled little sister, insisted on waiting for Carolline Ruiz before leaving.

Lucy didn’t recognize Megan Clifton, but she did recognize Andy Aguirre. Even Carolline didn’t recognize her with the mask on, so she was looking around for her, when Lucy walked over.

“Hey, didn’t you say you would recognize me even if I turned to ashes? How come you can’t recognize me because I’m wearing a mask?” Lucy chuckled teasingly at Carolline, and then she pulled Wilson Chase over. “Look, this is my big brother, Jordy Wade. He has some business to discuss with Bryan, so we came together.”

“You have an appointment with Bryan? Isn’t it inappropriate for us to tag along?” Carolline frowned at Lucy’s inappropriate remark. Feeling two stares shooting straight at her, obviously from Megan and Andy Aguirre.

The main issue was Lucy’s mention of ‘Bryan from your place’ was too ambiguous for comfort.

“You two?” Lucy just noticed Andy Aguirre and Megan Clifton “Yo, Andy, you are back? I heard from Carolline, you were sent abroad for further studies.”

“You must be Celia?” Andy recognized Lucy immediately, and Lucy laughed happily, “Yes, I am. You’re good, Andy. Carolline couldn’t even remember my name when she first met me.”

Carolline rolled her eyes. It was such a trivial matter, and yet Lucy still held it against her.

“We don’t have much time. Let’s go.” Jordy Wade looked at the time. His concept of time was strong, and he really wasn’t willing to waste time watching them catch up.

Megan Clifton followed him. Jordy Wade had rented a commercial vehicle, which was large enough to fit seven people. Even with the addition of three people, there was still enough room.

Jordy Wade and his party arrived at the hotel. He had arranged to meet Bryan Hawkins today mainly to assist Lucy in contract negotiation and to discuss the project they had agreed to talk about earlier in the year. For those reasons, Jordy allowed Lucy to return with him before the year had ended.

Bryan Hawkins was already there, accompanied by Xavier Estrada and the Public Relations Department manager, Joyce Lopez.

When he saw Carolline Ruiz for the first time, Bryan Hawkins was surprised. He couldn’t figure out how she ended up coming with the Wade siblings. The second person he saw was Andy Aguirre, and he suddenly remembered Emily Hill’s words.

Consequently, he took his eyes off Carolline Ruiz and looked directly at Jordy Wade. But before he could open his mouth, Lucy began to speak, “Bryan, my brother and I have a surprise for you. What do you think?”

When Lucy said this, she glanced at Carolline. The so-called surprise was self-evident.

“Mr. Wade, Miss Wade, please.” Bryan Hawkins spoke in a business-like tone, then turned to Joyce Lopez and said, “Go tell the kitchen to add food for three more people.”

Indeed, he hadn’t anticipated Carolline and her companions’ arrival. The food here was ordered per person, so when he ordered, he requested for five. Now, with the sudden addition of three more people, he needed to inform the kitchen.

“Yes.” Joyce Lopez complied and left. Before leaving, she gave extra glances to Lucy and then Carolline and Megan Clifton.

Despite her intelligence, she couldn’t figure out who Lucy’s surprise was in her earlier statement, whether it was Carolline or Megan Clifton.

“Please, take a seat.” Bryan Hawkins didn’t give Carolline another glance, addressing the trio simultaneously.

“Don’t be shy.” Lucy chimed in, pulling Carolline next to her and whispered, “What’s up with you two?”

Even if Bryan didn’t publicly acknowledge it, he should at least not publicly deny it.

Carolline Ruiz was equally perplexed. Was Bryan’s attitude a manifestation of his principle of keeping work and personal life separate?

She had been watching him since she entered the room. However, from the moment they entered, he only looked at her once. After that, he didn’t even spare her a glance.

“…” Carolline couldn’t answer Lucy’s question and could only remain silent. The answer could perhaps only be known to Bryan.

“Hey, Carolline, what happened to your neck?” Suddenly, Lucy screamed. She hadn’t noticed the wound on Carolline’s neck before. It was quite shocking now that they were sitting down.

Did something major happen when she wasn’t around?
