Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband novel Chapter 1182

Chapter 1182 For Violet
The office door closed softly, and the director wiped his forehead, relieved. He dialed Violet's number without hesitation. "Hi, Ms. Belcourt, Lucy's proposal is complete. I just went through it, and everything checks out. She's more impressive than I anticipated. There's just one thing..."

"What's that?" Violet's voice on the other end was calm and collected.

"She mentioned wanting to surprise your fiancé," he explained cautiously.

"A surprise?" Violet's voice turned languid yet frosty. "Alright, I'll mention it to Lenn. I wonder how she'll feel when she learns this proposal was tailored for me. This is getting interesting."

Lucy had a 2 p.m. appointment with this 'female client's' fiancé. It was her first client meeting, so she arrived ten minutes early at the café, rocking her trusty power suit.

This wasn't just any suit—it was a splurge, two months' worth of salary when she went to Europe with Cherise for her burn treatments.

"Lucy, you look amazing in that suit! Powerful, sexy, turning heads for sure!" Cherise's voice from years ago echoed in her head.

Her comment convinced Lucy to break the bank on the expensive outfit. Deep down, she knew clothes wouldn't change everything, but damn, did it ever boost her confidence.

This was her first dive into the service industry; naturally, she was a nervous wreck.

Taking a deep breath, Lucy sipped her coffee to calm her jitters. Time seemed to crawl by.

Finally, at 2 p.m. sharp, Lucy gripped her coffee mug tightly, eyes glued to the café entrance.

A man in all black pushed open the door. Lucy's brow furrowed in a mixture of surprise and annoyance. "Lennon? Of all the places..." she breathed; the name was a silent curse on her lips.
