Chapter 278
After returning to the room, Evelyn Davis was sober.
She was embarrassed to think that she had just let Lucas Hawk hold her.
But, she was more upset.
How could she do such a thing to Lucas Hawk? Wasn't she determined to leave?
Besides, this man would never be short of admirers. He would not need her that much.
Evelyn Davis, stop thinking!
"Let me down."
She hid her hidden thoughts and struggled to get down to the ground.
Lucas Hawk put her down carefully so that she did not fall.
"I'm going to take a shower."
After Evelyn Davis got on her feet, she did not know how to face Lucas Hawk. She left coldly and went straight to the bathroom.
Lucas Hawk looked at her disappearing back and frowned slightly.
He could obviously feel her mood change, which was different from that just now. She seemed a little unhappy.
He thought for a while and called Mo Li.
"Sir, would you like to see me?"
Mo Li got a call from Lucas Hawk and hurriedly came out of her room with joy on her face.
Lucas Hawk asked, "What happened to Evelyn Davis today?"
After Mo Li knew that he called her to ask about Evelyn Davis, her face now sank down.
"What can happen to her?"
When he heard her tone, he frowned.
"Pay attention to your tone. She is the lady of the house."
He warned in a deep voice. Mo Li's face was black for a moment.
"Oh, lady of the house? She's suing now?" she asked while looking at Lucas Hawk stubbornly.
"Sir, even if you scold me, I don't think I'm wrong."
Lucas Hawk frowned again.
Obviously, something had happened between them without him knowing.
"What happened?" he asked in a cold voice and Mo Li answered simply.
"Sir, I just can't stand her. She's too close with men outside." she said while looking aggrieved, "and I didn't say much, I just reminded her with a few words, but she complained." Lucas Hawk tightened his lips. He made his thought visible.
Mo Li looked at him like this. She then felt uneasy.
She clenched her teeth and went on, "I'm doing this of your sake, Sir. If you think I'm doing something wrong, I'll take the punishments."
Lucas Hawk looked at her. With eyes full of helplessness, he pinched his eyebrow.
"You can go back and take a rest."
Mo Li really did it for him. If he argued, it would hurt Mo Li's heart.
She listened and smiled, "Well, you too have a rest."
She turned around and left. The smile on the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.
Because Lucas Hawk did not blame her, she felt that Evelyn Davis was not as important as she thought before.
She could not help feeling happy.
Lucas Hawk saw that happy jump. He shook his head and turned to his study.
However, Evelyn Davis did not know what they were talking about just now.
Originally, she went to take a bath, only to find that she forgot to bring her clothes with her. She came out of the bathroom and heard their conversation.
At the beginning, she had a vague expectation that Lucas Hawk would scold Mo Li.
After all, she was his wife but in the end, he looked like he did not care.
This made her unable to say what she felt. How sad, how disappointed, and how much she mocked herself.
It was true that she and Lucas Hawk had no feelings towards each other. So, how could he scold his subordinates for her? Their concern was obviously not simple, at least not the common relationship between superior and subordinate. The light in her eyes darkened when she thought about it.
She forced herself to endure the pain she felt inside. Her lips tightened.
After she finished, Lucas Hawk had not yet come back.
She chose not to care and lay down to rest.

The next day, she was not sure whether the pain in her heart woke up her just after dawn.
Lucas Hawk was sleeping next to her.
Even after a whole night, his handsome face was not affected by his messy hair.
Evelyn Davis looked at him for several times then calmed down her mind.
She felt upset. Her pink cheeks turned red.
She shut down the feeling in her heart. She got up and washed. At the same time, she constantly warned herself in the heart to not fall again.
Evelyn Davis went to the company without eating her breakfast. She would not let her mind wander.
She planned to keep herself busy with work.
When she arrived at the company, she began to work.
Her main task today was to sign a contract with the communication company.
She was going to draw up the contract first.
Not long after she began to work, Lucas Hawk woke up.
He subconsciously turned his head. He did not see Evelyn Davis beside him. He did not care much. He just thought she got up first.
In less than half an hour, he took care of himself and went downstairs.
"Good morning, Sir."
Mo Li saw him in the living room and greeted him with a smile.
He nodded, "Morning."
He walked to the dining room but he did not see Evelyn Davis. He frowned.
"Where is Evelyn Davis?"
Jealousy flashed in Mo Li's face.
She did not like Lucas Hawk to always look for that woman every time he came.
However, she did not say anything. The housekeeper walked over respectfully.
"Young master, the young lady went to the company early this morning."
Lucas Hawk frowned when he heard that.
He was guessing whether Evelyn Davis went this early because she really had something to do or she was wronged at home.
When he was thinking about it, Mo Li approached him happily.
At last, that woman did something clever.
"Sir, since the young lady left first, I'll go the company with you today."
He looked up to her and said, "No. You'd better protect the lady."
Smile on Mo Li's face suddenly froze.
She did not want to protect the mean woman. But, she did not dare to disobey his order.
She could only bear the unhappiness in her heart and nodded, "I know."
Evelyn Davis did not know these things.
After several deliberation in the company, she finally worked out the contract.
"General Manager, look, this is the contract I made according to the requirements of the communication company."
She made the contract and send it to Freya Lee as soon as possible.
Freya Lee took it over and looked at it peacefully.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"All good. All aspects are clearly marked. You can sign the contract." Freya Lee finished reading the contract and handed it back.
"I'll go to the Lowell Group now."
Evelyn Davis left for the appointment.
When she was about to leave her office, Clyde Lowell called her.
"President Lowell?"
"Miss Davis, I'm afraid the contract have to be delayed."
That words just now made the smile on Evelyn Davis's face froze.
