Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 192

Lucy, the talk of the town, was blissfully unaware of the drama unfolding. She was happily immersed in her work. Her company was climbing the ranks, and she was getting closer to her dream.

The non-stop work was taking its toll, however. She massaged her temples, feeling worn out.

"Why am I so exhausted?" she wondered with a frown. She had not felt this tired before. Maybe it was the relief from her recent success that made her body hit a wall. She pondered the thought and decided it was quite likely.

She made up her mind to take a well-deserved break today.

Stepping out of her office, she told her team, "I'm heading out early today. Once you're done with your tasks, you can head out too. No need to burn the midnight oil."

She had no idea how her words would stun her staff, leaving some with their mouths hanging open in disbelief.

Was she really Lucy? She was giving them a break from overtime?

"The workaholic boss has finally decided to give us a day off? So, we don't have to stay late today and can go home early? That's awesome!" They almost cried with joy.

"At last, it's time to relax! Hooray for Ms. Lucy! Wait a sec, something's not right here. Isn't Ms. Lucy the one who always asks us to stay late? Why are we cheering for her?"

"Have we gone loopy from too much work?"

...

When Lucy walked out into the sunshine, it seemed brighter than ever. It felt like ages since she had last enjoyed the sun.

She thought about the gloomy days she had been slogging through and felt a pang of pity for herself.

She knew how tough it had been, so why did she keep pushing herself? Could she not see the dark circles under her eyes that made her look like she had just finished some intense training?

Lucy took the day off but did not know what to do. She had been swamped with work lately and felt lost now that she did not have to work.

She should probably go home and cuddle up with Matthew, maybe plan a fun date.

However, Lucy was not in the mood

for that. She and Matthew saw each other all the time, and he would often skip work to take her out. Hence, going on dates was not as fun as it used to be.

She was worried that being too clingy might annoy him.

If Matthew were here, he would probably be dramatically crying out, "No, my dear, I'd love it if you were clingy!"

Where was Matthew now, though?

After a bit of thought, Lucy decided to call her best friend, Chelsea, to hang out.

It had been a while since they had seen each other. What was Chelsea up to these days?

Lucy, with her phone in hand, was all

smiles as she thought about where she and Chelsea would hang out later. The phone beeped as her friend picked up. "Hey, Lulu, what's up?"

"Chelsea, are you free to go shopping with me?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

All of a sudden, Lucy heard a weird creaking sound from the other end of the line. It was like something was squeaking, and there were sounds of loud breathing too.

"Oops, Lulu, I didn't get that. Can you say it again, please?"
