Chapter 863 Ambiguous Hint

"Of course not," Casper finally spoke, with an unusually hoarse voice that always gave people an ambiguous feeling.

"I just saw that you're a little restless, so I want you to calm down first."

The familiarity in Casper's tone made Lucia a little disgusted, and she couldn't suppress the resistance in her bones, so her brows frowned at that moment.

"What do you want to say in the end?"

When he saw Lucia's mood getting more irritable, the smile on Casper's lips deepened. He was obviously younger than her, but there was a sense of pampering in his words.

"Ms. Webb, don't worry. The coffees haven't been served yet. I didn't finish it last time, so is it okay this time?"

Lucia narrowed her eyes, ignored Casper, and planned to wait until he was willing to explain his purpose before saying anything.

Seeing Lucia's appearance, Casper was not annoyed, but leisurely waited for the waiter to serve the coffees. The two sat opposite each other.

Lucia was in a trance after a while. How could Casper really affect her emotions? All she was thinking about was what he really wanted.

After about ten minutes, two cups of fragrant coffee were brought up. Lucia stirred gently with a small spoon, staring at the foam on the coffee in a daze.

Casper smiled, and finally spoke,

"Ms. Webb, I don't know if you're willing to cooperate with me. I plan to start a new company recently, but I'm worried that I can't find a high-quality partner..."

Upon hearing this, Lucia raised her eyes slightly. She seemed very uninterested, and just said lightly,

"Oh, congratulations."

"Are you not interested in cooperating?" Casper was not in a hurry, but asked her with a smile.

"Aren't I already working with Stable Growth?" Lucia sipped her coffee and said with lowered eyes.

"That's different," Casper explained. "The new company I'm going to establish now belongs to my family, and has nothing to do with Nia's Stable Growth. You're shrewd and have a long-term vision. If I can cooperate with you, it's my pleasure."

"You want me to invest?" Lucia finally looked straight at Casper, cutting straight to the point.

"It's the best thing if you want to," Casper said brightly.

"I don't want to." Lucia flatly refused.

"Ms. Webb, my family is a newcomer to Athegate. We're not yet familiar with the market, and don't have enough connections. Once we cooperate, we'll be able to run the company well with the strength of our family. And Webbex Group is an established enterprise here. Isn't it also facing transformation now? Isn't it a good thing for you?" Casper persevered and analyzed the interests in an orderly manner.

Casper spoke nicely, but Lucia was still unmoved. Instead, she pulled the corner of her mouth and said jokingly,

"Mr. Wood, you're very ambitious. The Wood family is already very wealthy in Mokio. Isn't that enough?"

"It's a coward who doesn't have ambitions," Casper admitted frankly. "Who doesn't want their family business to grow? Mokio's market is already saturated. Of course we have to find a new way out. Don't you also have this idea?"

Lucia smiled and asked Casper back,

"Casper," Lucia didn't want to pretend anymore. This person really annoyed her, so she said directly.

"Nia was the one who brought you to Athegate after all, and that's a bit of an exaggeration for you to say that."

"When she met me at the beginning, she didn't talk about any past events. Although I don't care on the surface, how could a man accept her complicated background? If I didn't know that she knows you, I wouldn't have come back to Athegate. Nia is not the woman I'm looking for." Casper stared at Lucia for a split second.

The hint in Casper's words could not be clearer. He was waiting for Lucia to ask "then who is the woman you are looking for", but unfortunately, Lucia would not ask.

"Then let me think about it. It's getting late. I should go back." After Casper made such "heartfelt words", Lucia didn't respond, but just picked up her coat and stood up. Then she turned around and left.

Casper stood up and looked at Lucia's back, and when she was about to walk out of the cafe, he yelled,

"Lucia, you haven't married him yet!"

The customers in the store all looked at him because of the yelling, but Casper didn't care. His eyes were fixed on Lucia's reaction.

Lucia's hand holding the doorknob froze for a moment, but she didn't look back, but still opened the door and walked towards the crowded street.

After Lucia left, Casper sat down again. He stared at the cup of coffee she left behind for a while, and then reached out to take it over. He also took a sip at the slightly imprinted red lips, and smiled. He murmured,

"It's really bitter, but... it's delicious."

In the evening, Lucia told Arthur about the conversation she had with Casper, but deliberately concealed the hint in his words, but Arthur was not so easy to fool.
