53 Part 2

"Lucia...."

Elijah called out to me softly, rubbing my left shoulder. I quickly turned my head and looked at Elijah who was looking at me with a serious look right there.

"We have to go to the office immediately. Harrison and Felicity are already on their way. So we better get to the office before they both get there."

Elijah muttered again, then immediately pulled my arm out of the restaurant, and got into his car now. Elijah was driving at a pretty fast speed. And I was sure that the two of us would be able to get to the office much faster than Harrison and Felicity now.

Not long after that, Elijah and I arrived at his company, and quickly entered the building. Elijah wanted to show that he and I had been in the office since the morning, and were busy doing a lot of work. Then again, Harrison would definitely use devious means to get the answers he wanted. And I didn't want Harrison to get even the slightest bit suspicious.

I have to be vigilant myself, because Harrison will definitely do something reckless to vent the anger he has right now. On top of that, I also need to quickly free the great witch along with her family who are being held by Harrison in The Silver Moon Pack's prison. Sooner or later, a war between me and Harrison would definitely happen after this.

"You should pretend to be working on a project together with me, Lucia. If Harrison and Felicity come here, they will both know that you were not involved in the affair between Felicity and Juan. Okay?"

"Of course."

I nodded my head in a quick motion, while smiling there. Elijah himself was already sitting at his desk there, and I was sitting on the sofa with a few files and pens now.

"Anyway, they'll definitely believe the things we both say later. And yes, I'm very grateful for the preparations you've made to help make the plan I have today a success. Did you give something to Juan as payment?"

"Of course. A model, it's not easy to let go of the opportunity he has to expand the work he has now. I gave him some money, and also a job offer at one of my fashion companies. Of course, Juan accepted that very happily. He also wouldn't say anything to anyone else. Emrys, and Josiah helped me put a little magic in his mind about the rumors of an affair between him and Felicity."

"Oh, thank goodness then. I'm very relieved to hear everything."

"Mr. Elijah? This is Mr. Harrison here to see you immediately. To be able to discuss an important matter."

The voice immediately stopped me and Elijah who were muttering earlier. And replaced with the two of us looking at each other. Before in the end, I nodded my head with a faint movement towards Elijah there. And I who immediately lowered my head, and pretended to focus on the files in front of me now. I tried to look busy.

"Let him in." Elijah answered firmly at once.

Harrison walked in with Felicity there. I could feel the sharp glances given by Felicity and Harrison there, as they entered Elijah's room together now. I slowly raised my head and looked at the two of them. I should be able to behave very calmly.

"What is it that you want to discuss, Harrison? Since you came together with Felicity, without giving any news or promise." Elijah asked right there.

"I'm sorry for my impudence, Mr. Elijah. But actually, we have some business with Lucia, your sister. If it is permitted, could we have a word with Miss Lucia now?"

Harrison answered politely. But I knew how sarcastically that sentence was spoken by Harrison who had never been polite in his speech before.

"Of course. Please talk here. Is there a problem going on?" Elijah asked as a form of small talk to the two of them now.

Without saying anything, Felicity immediately sat down beside me, and looked right at me with a probing look.

"What's wrong, Felicity? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked slowly.

The calmer I got myself, the more they overheated themselves with the answer I was going to say to the two of them after this. I wonder how brave they are to me. I will never let the two of them win over me now.

"Please tell Harrison, Lucia. That you went to the club with me that night. We both went to the club together, didn't we? And I didn't dance and kiss with anyone there."

Felicity said a little louder now.

"Hey, Felicity, why do you look like you're angry with me."

I wrinkled my forehead quite deeply. Trying to make a defense for myself there.

"Yes, the two of us did go to the club that night. We had fun, and drank alcohol. Then what's wrong with that? Didn't you yourself say that you wanted to forget the problems that were going on between you and Harrison. That's why you asked me for some advice on how to fix things."

"What do you mean by that, Lucia?" Harrison asked now.

"Felicity wanted to make you jealous, but she said she was also tired of your relationship turning toxic. Maybe Felicity didn't really listen to the things I said that night, because she was already very drunk with a lot of alcohol herself."

I looked at Harrison who had started sitting next to Felicity.

"What advice did you give, Lucia? Didn't you tell me to enjoy the night and do whatever I want!" Felicity shouted again.

"Yes. I did say that, but I didn't say that you should dance with those men. And you know yourself that Harrison wouldn't like that. But you said that you wanted to forget Harrison even for a little while. Because Harrison is still blaming you for the loss of your engagement ring. And also because Harrison doesn't want to make up with you anymore."

"No! I didn't say any of those things! You must be lying, Lucia! You're lying! Harrison... Harrison, don't believe anything Lucia says!"

"Felicity, why are you accusing me of lying? You yourself said you wanted to do anything, without Harrison's authoritarian nature. I myself also went straight home when you decided to have fun with those men. I told you, didn't I? That I had to go home immediately, because I had to help Elijah with some company projects. Then why are you saying I lied? Just this morning, you called me and said that your relationship with Harrison had improved. Then why did you two come here suddenly and accuse me like this?"

"The news said that she had an affair with a model, along with Juan. There are also videos, photos, and also recordings of Felicity's conversations with that man. And then Felicity said that she went to the club that night with you. We thought you had the answers to everything that's going on right now?" Harrison replied.

"So basically, you two came here, to my brother's company, just to be able to accuse me of all the news that's going on with Felicity and that guy, is that it?"

I showed an annoyed and disbelieving reaction to Harrison and Felicity there. I even stood up from my seat, and looked at them.

"We didn't mean it that way, Lucia. It's just that, Felicity thought, you must know the right answer. And..."

"And what?" I turned defiantly towards Harrison and Felicity now.

"How can you two accuse me of that? And you, Felicity, didn't you tell me that you didn't want to make Harrison jealous anymore? So why are you accusing me now? Do you think I recorded all those things and put them on the internet? Why didn't you ask the man you were with directly? Why did you come here and create unnecessary drama."

"Because you were with me at the club that night, Lucia. I thought you must have recorded me, and would help me make Harrison jealous. But you... you never did."

Felicity mumbled and realized her misspeaking. "You never recorded me. And I... I must have been very drunk that night."

"You were drunk, Felicity. I just left the club, you were unconscious. Then how could you have the audacity to accuse me? I can't believe that you would think that of me."

I walked away from them and approached Elijah who seemed to be standing and had a very serious expression on his face right there now. I hid behind Elijah's body, and pretended to be sad.

"I think it would be good for you two to leave now. The accusations you've said to my sister, I can never forget it at all. Leave now, before I call someone here, to drag both of you out from here." Elijah muttered angrily.

"Please forgive us, Mr. Elijah. We really, really didn't mean anything like that. In that case, we will leave. Please forgive us..."

Harrison muttered and pulled hard on Felicity's arm to walk out of this room.

"And Mr. Harrison, I'm going to have to rethink about our contract."

Boom. It was another explosion that Elijah gave Harrison. He would be destroyed slowly now.
