Chapter 29 Being Absent-minded

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he met with Megan today. Unconsciously, he drove to the place near Megan's house. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He wanted to see Megan.

Although Megan was determined to defeat Lucian this time, Lucian's figure flashed through her mind over and over again, making her unable to calm down and think carefully.

She drank a large glass of water in one gulp and was about to continue her work. Maybe it was because she was too tired, she thought it was better to have a rest.

"Megan, can we go back to the past? I miss you so much."

A vague and familiar figure appeared in front of her, which made her open her eyes wide. She looked carefully at the tall man in front of her, but she couldn't see his face clearly. She only heard that the man called her name again and again in a magnetic and familiar voice.

"Megan."

Then the scenes flashed by one after another, which were when they had been together in the past, one after another, poking her heart.

"Megan, you really disappoint me. From now on, we are over."

A thin piece of paper full of words flew over her eyes and fell to the ground. The man's figure disappeared from her sight little by little.

The vibration of her phone woke Megan up from her dream. A tear streaked across the corner of her eye. The message was from Lucian.

"Let's meet."

Lucian saw Shelly's pale face. He felt sorry for her. He gently held up Shelly, stood up and slowly walked upstairs. Then he turned around and said to Hannah, "Make some nutritious soup for Miss Shelly. Remember to bring it to her." Hannah nodded and looked at Shelly. Shelly blinked at them.

Lucian held her and walked upstairs slowly. Shelly held Lucian's neck tighter unconsciously. "I'm fine. I'm much better now. Don't make me worry about you anymore, okay?"

Lucian nodded. He gently put her on the bed in the bedroom. Lucian was about to go out. Shelly grabbed his wrist and looked at him pitifully, "Lucian, can you accompany me for a while?" Lucian felt that Shelly was in such a bad condition, so he couldn't refuse anymore. After all, it was because of him that Shelly became like this.

"Well, I don't have much work to do tomorrow. If you have any place to go, I can go with you." Lucian put Shelly's hand into the quilt and covered it. He whispered to her.

After hearing this, Shelly's expression was much better than before, with an undisguised smile on her face. She held Lucian's hand and asked uncertainly, "Really? Are you really going to accompany me tomorrow?"

Lucian nodded. "Have a good rest and think about where to go tomorrow. Don't forget to drink the soup that Hannah brings to you later. Call me if you need anything. I'm leaving now."

"Ok," Shelly whispered. Then she let go of Lucian's hand. She watched him go downstairs. Looking at the back of Lucian, Shelly couldn't help smiling.

Lucian went downstairs and told the servants to take good care of Shelly. He hoped that their care could ease his guilt.

Lucian drove to the company. There were cars coming and going and pedestrians in a hurry on the road. In this world, the living people were the most pathetic.

He sorted out the documents one by one and read them one by one. And he called the secretary over.

"Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"

While reading the materials, Lucian said to him, "Nothing. I need to go out for a day tomorrow. If anything happens, remember to call me. If it doesn't matter, you can handle it by yourself."

"Okay, Mr. Lu. If there's nothing else, I'll go out first." The secretary pushed the door open and went out. Lucian rubbed between his eyebrows. He felt unprecedentedly tired.

As for Megan, she was very busy with the design plan of the bidding project. She wrote several design plans, but they were all rejected by herself. There was a lot of her efforts in the trash can at her feet. The scattered pieces on the ground were all negative design plans.

In the yellow light, Megan denied herself again and threw another plan on the ground. She scratched her head and continued to modify her plan.

Megan felt unprecedented despair in her life. It was the most important thing she had done in two decades. If the project plan was not approved this time, she really did not know what to do. She was so stubborn to prove her ability to Lucian. She could not give up at the last gasp.

After Lucian left the room, Shelly smiled. Shelly lifted the quilt away. One could tell that she wasn't weak at all. Her plan worked and she was very happy. She opened the wardrobe and looked at so many clothes. She had no idea what to do. Tomorrow, Lucian would be with her. She wanted to wear beautiful clothes s

o that Lucian would have a different impression of her. She really want to leave a deep impression on Lucian.

Shelly tried her sapphire blue dress for a while, then her own tracksuit for a while. However, she couldn't out which one was better for a date. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that all the clothes couldn't set off her beauty.

'Where are we going tomorrow? Let Lucian go shopping with me? It is not good to go shopping frequently. How about having dinner with Lucian? Then we can't just eat all day, can we?'

Shelly thought to herself. At this time, Shelly was just like a little girl next door. The man she liked said yes to her date invitation. Her heart fluttered, not knowing what to do.

Shelly tried all her clothes on and finally found a suit that satisfied her. She looked in the mirror with a smile on her face.

She packed up her clothes and went downstairs to tell Hannah that she could bring the soup upstairs. Although she was fine, she had to finish the show. It was not easy for her to get Lucian's notice. She couldn't miss this good opportunity. And Hannah also knew that.

At dusk, the sky gradually dimmed. As the sun set, the clouds made the sky more beautiful. The fiery red clouds hung in the sky, and the whole sky was as romantic as an idol drama. However, this kind of romance didn't belong to Lucian. Lucian was a little tired right now.

Lucian rubbed his neck and looked down at his watch. It was six o 'clock in the afternoon right now. He looked at the sky outside. Usually he didn't go home until one or two o'clock in the morning. But today, because of the faint of Shelly, Lucian felt guilty. He wanted to go home early. He wanted to see how that girl was doing.

Lucian sorted out the documents on the desk and called his secretary to prepare a car to wait for him outside. He made a phone call to the housekeeper too. He told the housekeeper that he would go back to have dinner tonight.

The housekeeper was surprised for a moment. Lucian seldom had dinner at home. Even when Megan was at home before, he seldom came back so early. The housekeeper thought that Shelly must be special to Lucian. She must treat Shelly well in the future.

The housekeeper went upstairs and put the soup on the bedside table of Shelly, telling her to drink it quickly and that Lucian would go home for dinner later. Shelly happily picked up the bowl and drank up the soup. Then she got out of bed. She went to the first floor and waited for Lucian.

"Didn't I tell you to rest in bed? Why are you still sitting downstairs?" Seeing Shelly sitting in the living room, Lucian frowned.

Shelly stood up and handed the coat and briefcase that Lucian had taken off to the housekeeper. "I just want to wait for you downstairs."

Lucian felt much guiltier to Shelly in his heart. He just asked, "Have you decided where to go tomorrow?" Shelly said, "Let's go shopping. You never go shopping with me." Lucian nodded.

Megan was very busy. After several nights' hard work, she finally worked out the best plan that she thought in her heart. She picked up her phone and found it was two o'clock in the morning. There were several missed calls and messages in the phone. When she opened her phone, she found that they were all from Eric.

"Mommy, when will you come back to accompany Eric?"

"Mommy, why didn't you answer my phone?"

"Mommy, I want you to go to the amusement park with me."

Megan put down her phone and thought for a while. She had been busy with her work recently, and indeed neglected the care of Eric. She hadn't seen Eric for several days. In Megan's eyes, she owed Eric too much. Because of the matter between Lucian and her. Eric didn't get along well with Lucian. And now she ignored him because of her busy work. Megan felt uncomfortable.

On the second day morning, Megan sorted out the revised project plan. Then she took her bag and drove to look for Eric. Most of the problems had been solved, so she should spare some time to accompany Eric.

Megan's car hadn't stopped yet. "Mommy, mommy, you're finally here," Eric said. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a small figure rushing towards her and hugging her.

Megan was powerful and invincible in the eyes of outsiders. But only she knew that the last softness part in her heart was this little boy, Eric.

Megan picked up Eric. "I have been busy with my work recently, so I didn't have time to see Eric. Is Eric angry with mommy?"

"Yes, I'm a little angry. But if mommy can play with Eric in the amusement park, Eric can consider not to be angry!" After hearing this, Megan smiled and rubbed his nose. What a naughty boy. Megan nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go with you."
