Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 129

After Cillian left, Lucy sat back down to eat while mumbling, “Cillian’s professor is so evil for giving him so much work that he doesn’t even have time for a meal.”

Matthew chuckled as he looked at Lucy, thankful that his wife was rather clueless. Otherwise, he might not have been able to win her over.

“Perhaps it’s because Cillian is such an outstanding student. Professors tend to favor students who share similar traits as them,” Matthew tried to cover up for Cillian.

Lucy came to a realization. “I see. Let’s quickly finish up too. I still have a lot of work to do at the company.”

Matthew looked at her disapprovingly. “Even if you have a lot of work, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. Can’t you hang out with me for a bit before going to work? You’ll be busy tomorrow too.”

“I guess you’re right.”

She was about to agree when her phone rang all of a sudden.

She put her answer on hold and picked up the call.

“Ms. Lucy, I have bad news!” Mabel’s anxious voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

Lucy turned serious all of a sudden. “What happened? Calm down and tell me slowly.”

“Ms. Lucy, the investor who agreed to invest in our comic is pulling out all of a sudden. He said he no longer wants to come to the company to discuss the comic with you.”

Lucy frowned and stood up from the table. She irritably bit her finger and asked in a deep voice, “What happened? Have you found out why?”

Mabel hesitated for a bit, but she still told Lucy the truth, “I heard that your sister’s company intercepted the investment.”

Lucy was even more irritated. “That’s impossible. The quality of our comics is way better than hers. We’ve even increased our funds and manpower recently. How could they have intercepted it?"
