You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 491

Lucille was absorbed in drawing and did not notice the man's stare at all.

She had a bad habit. When she painted, she would be so absorbed in it and would ignore everything

around her.

Throughout the afternoon, she was in this state. It was only when Zoel called out her name several

times for lunch that she heard him.

On the first day, she finished two paintings in one go.

When the second painting was finished, Lucille stretched her body. When she looked up again, she

found that the sky had already turned completely dark outside.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening.

She quickly put away all the painting tools, cleaned up her work space and picked up her bag to go out.

When she turned off the lights and was about to lock the door...

"Today's headlines... a financial..." It's the sound of some news broadcast.

A man's voice came from the gallery and

Lucille was shocked.

When she turned on the lights again, she found that Zoel laid alone on the sofa and had fallen asleep,

his phone playing out a video.

He was dressed in black and blended in with the black leather sofa. Lucille had not paid attention to

him just now.

The main reason was that she did not expect Zoel to be waiting for her there.

"Mr. Parker?"

Lucille walked to his side, and half squatted down. Just as she was about to give him a nudge, he

suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms before she could even react.

"Megan, you're back."

Zoel whispered into her ear and called Megan' s name softly. The man's unshaven beard rubbed

against her face.

Lucille was frightened. She quickly got rid of the man's hand and shouted, "Mr. Parker!"

"Ah? Have you finished drawing?" With her cry of surprise, Zoel instantly woke up.

"I've finished drawing. I'm sorry to let you wait for me today. Next time... Next time, you can call me

directly."

Lucille felt uncomfortable about what had happened just now and her words were somewhat stuttered. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As she spoke, she carried her bag and wanted to walk out.

After she walked a few steps, Zoel caught up to her and rushed to the gallery door in front of her. He

said, "It's already so late. Let's have dinner together. Consider it a celebration of your first sale."

"No need... My, my roommate is still waiting for me at home."

If it wasn't for what happened just now, Lucille might have agreed.

"Please..."

"Mr. Parker, I'm sorry, I..."

"Well, as your boss, I order you to join me to celebrate your first sale."

Zoel was obviously not young, but his style of handling things was not mature at all.

At this moment, he actually used his authority to ask Lucille to have dinner with him.

She was speechless.

He said, "If you refuse, I will lower the commission rate."

At the mention of money, Lucille immediately complied. She nodded silently. "Alright, but I can't go

home too late."

"I know. You said it before."

When she agreed, Zoel quickly locked the gallery door and drove Lucille to a Chinese restaurant.

In the private room, he took the initiative to order the dishes. After he ordered, he said to the waiter,

"Don't make it spicy. My friend is allergic to spicy food."

Lucille was stunned when she heard what he said. "You are aware that I'm allergic to chili?" "Ethan told

me. Initially I did not need a staff member. I would come to the gallery when I'm free, but he said that he

hurt you in the past because of the allergy incident, therefore he asked me to hire you," Zoel willingly

told her everything.

When Lucille knew about the story behind, she was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Parker. If you

don't need a staff member, I can resign."

"No, don't! I need one, especially now!" Zoel immediately said, "You see, I have made hundreds of

dollars by selling the paintings today. Although your paintings did not earn much money, the large oil

paintings did."

"It's just a coincidence..."

Fortunately, this incident was handled well. Otherwise, if Mark was unhappy, it would be over.

"Coincidence is also a capability. Don't be so modest. You have drawn a painting in fifteen minutes.

Although it was not completed, the client liked it. That's good enough."

"Thank you."

Zoel's words were a little exaggerated, but he really thought highly of her talents.

He looked at Lucille's stomach that had not changed much. He hesitated several times, but finally

asked, "Are you really going to give birth to your child?"

"Yes, I am."

She was determined.

"Don't be offended. If you decided not to have this child, I could consider supporting you to go to school

in E Country. Of course, it would not be for free. When you return, you will have to paint for me at a

cheaper price and let me earn more money."

Zoel came up with this idea the first time he saw Lucille's painting.

That day, after he saw her work, he was even more sure of this idea.

However, the child in her belly was a hurdle. Having a child would take up a lot of time and it would be

impossible for her to concentrate on drawing.

"It's fine. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Parker."

This child had only been in her belly for two months, but Lucille was already reluctant to let go of him.

"Don't refuse me immediately. Think about it. You're young and talented..."

"Thank you, Mr. Parker." Before Zoel could finish, Lucille said, "I'm sorry, I really will not get rid of this

child."

"Okay then."

He did not say anything else when he saw that she was firm in her decision.

On Friday the next week, Mark's restaurant opened. Zoel and Lucille sent the paintings to him together.

Then, according to his instructions, the paintings were hung in the designated positions.

When they were about to leave after they hung all the paintings, Mark's secretary came over and

stopped them. "Mr. Parker, Miss Jules, Mr. Andrews said that you two have worked hard. He would like

to invite the both of you to stay for lunch."

"Then, please thank Mr. Andrews for me."

Since Mark had invited them, Zoel could not refuse his invitation.

He could only stay for lunch, together with

Lucille.

Mark's secretary took them to a small private room, with Lucille's painting hanging in the room.

After a while, the dishes were served. As soon as Zoel and Lucille started to eat, the door of the room

was opened.

Mark came in in a black suit and his face was bright and energetic. They also stood up to greet him in a

hurry.

"Mr. Parker, Miss Jules, I did not have time to greet you properly. Please forgive me," Mark said while

shaking hands with the two of them.

However, when Mark shook hands with Lucille, he narrowed his eyes and stared at her. She saw his

stare clearly this time.

Although she had not been out in society for a long time, she knew clearly what the look in his eyes

meant.

Zoel was not aware of this and he replied, "Mark, you are too polite. You still came over to talk to us

when you were so busy today. We are flattered."

After all, people in business spoke eloquently.

Mark listened to Zoel’s praise but did not respond. He asked his secretary to hand the small bag in her

hand to Lucille and said happily, "Miss Jules, I'm very satisfied with the paintings you drew for me. This

is a small token from me. I hope you won't refuse my gift."

Lucille looked down and saw that there was a red velvet box in the small bag in front of her. At first

glance, it was obvious that it contained jewelry.
