I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479 You will not be the tenth

When Julia pushed the door open and entered, there was only Dominic, Joey Ellis and Julia, plus the Old Mr. Duncan.
Julia met the Old Mr. Duncan yesterday, and she was pretty tough in front him.
But now Julia was inexplicably not that confident.
After all, she didn't even read Yanis' profile yesterday, and what she said was naturally a bit outrageous.
Now after knowing Yanis's identity, Julia only felt that what she said yesterday was too much of a slap in the face.
"Julia, come here." Joey looked directly toward Julia when he saw her come in.
Julia lifted her feet and walked forward, "Mom and Dad, Director Davies."
After greetings, Julia then looked at the Old Mr. Duncan who was sitting on the main seat of the sofa to the side, "Mr. Duncan."
The Old Mr. Duncan heard the voice, raised his eyes to look at Julia. His tone of voicedid not tell his emotion. "Miss Ellis, we meet again."
Julia pursed her lips, "Mr. Duncan, what happened yesterday was my fault, I am here to apologize to you."
Julia was also a person who dared to admit her mistake.
It was her who did the wrong thing, so she was not afraid to admit it.
The Old Mr. Duncan also did not expect Julia to apologize so directly.
After all, Julia's attitude yesterday was tough, like he was entitled to all powers.
But now that Julia had apologized, Mr. Duncan couldn't maintain his haughty demeanor and simply nodded in response.
Joey took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Duncan, yesterday my daughter was impulsive and said some unpleasant things. Please don't take it to heart. It was also my negligence for not disciplining her properly, which made you feel embarrassed."
Old Mr. Duncan waved his hand, "The person involved is not me."
As soon as Old Mr. Duncan finished speaking, Mrs. Ellis spoke with great insight, "What about Miss Thompson? Let her come in. I will ask Julia apologize to Miss Thompson. What happened yesterday was indeed Mu Mu's fault, and we must apologize."
Old Mr. Duncan glanced at Julia's face upon hearing this.
Julia spoke up in a timely manner, "If Mr. Duncan thinks that a private apology is not sincere enough, I can go out now and apologize to Miss Thompson in front of others."
Mr. Duncan had actually planned to speak up for Yanis when he came today. However, the attitude of the Ellis family made it difficult for him to be too forceful. Since they had taken the initiative to admit their mistake and apologize, if he insisted on being too strong-willed, he would seem too harsh.
As the conversation had reached this point, it would be inappropriate to say anything more.
Therefore, he spoke up, "I will ask her to come in. An apology is necessary for what happened yesterday."
At this point, Dominic, who had been sitting quietly, said, "I will go out and find Miss Thompson to bring her here. I also bear some responsibility for this matter, and I should apologize to Miss Thompson as well."
Joey took over, "Then, Director Davies, please go and bring her here."
Dominic stood up, bowed to Old Mr. Duncan, and left the room.
In the exhibition hall downstairs, Lana approached Zane with a wine glass in her hand, "Zane, what a coincidence. I was just thinking of finding you later, but I didn't expect to run into you here."
Zane politely replied, "Do you need something from me?"
Lana smiled at Yanis and Anika before turning to Zane and said, "The repair shop called me and said my car is fixed. I need to go pick it up. I had made a mistake that day, and you had to spend money to fix my car."
With that, Lana turned to Yanis, "Miss Thompson, if you're free after this, I would like to treat you and Zane to dinner."
Yanis was about to speak when Zane interrupted, "I have something else to do later, and Yanis has plans as well."
Not wanting to contradict Zane, Yanis went along, "That's right. I already made plans. Miss Griffiths, you don't have to be so polite. It was my fault for hitting your car that day, so I should have been the one to help you with the repairs."
Lana's smile faded a bit as she was about to speak, but Finnley approached from the side and beat her to it, "Hey, Mr. Lawrence, long time no see."
Finnley's sudden greeting naturally interrupted what Lana was about to say.
Zane looked at Finnley and slowly extended his hand to shake Finnley's hand.
Finnley said, "It's been a long time since I last saw Mr. Lawrence. I never thought I would see you here today."
As he spoke, Finnley glanced at Yanis, then looked at Zane and asked, "This is Mrs. Lawrence, right? I've always heard that Mrs. Lawrence is beautiful, and now I see that she really is."
Finnley politely extended his hand towards Yanis and introduced himself, "Mrs. Lawrence, hello, I'm Finnley."
Faced with Finnley's "warm" gesture, Yanis first looked at Zane's face, and then reached out to shake Finnley's hand, "Hello."
Finnley smiled and withdrew his hand at the first touch.
After that, he looked at Iris and Anika, who were standing aside, and they greeted each other politely.
Finally Finnley looked at Lana, "Lana."
Lana was still smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. She nodded at Finnley, "Finnley."
Finnley smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect you and Mr. Lawrence to know each other."
Lana said, "You may not know, the Griffiths and Lawrence also have a good friendship."
Finnley laughed, "Really? I haven't heard your brother talk about it."
After saying this, Finnley paused, "Julia is upstairs. Do you want to go find her?"
"No, she is busy today, so I won't bother her."
Finnley nodded, "Oh, that's fine, then make yourself at home. I'll talk to Mr. Lawrence and Mrs. Lawrence, excuse me."
Finnley did not even give Lana a chance to talk. He looked at Zane and Yanis and made an inviting gesture, "Mr. Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence, let's talk somewhere else."
Zane glanced at Finnley's face, lifted his hand over Yanis, and nodded at Lana as he lifted his feet to leave, "Anika, let's go."
Anika responded and followed Zane and Yanis.
Iris naturally did not stay, so he also left with her.
In the end, only Lana and Finnley were left.
Lana's smile disappeared completely from her face after Zane and the others left.
Finnley naturally saw the change of expression on Lana's face, but he did not care that much. "Lana, what the elders say sometimes can be right."
Lana said, "Really? They've said a lot of things. I do not know which one you are referring to?"
Finnley laughed low. "Let me tell you as a friend. Love can not be forced, and nine out of ten forced relationships will fail."
"And what if I am the tenth?"
Finnley withdrew his eyes and looked sideways at Lana, "You will not be the tenth."
"Why can't I?"
Finnley listened to Lana's persistent questioning and his smile faded. "Lana, you have to think about you the Griffiths family, not just yourself."
