Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 499

Susan could finally relax after spotting Lucy’s head.

She came to Lucy with care in the fear of waking her up, but as she got closer to Lucy, she was surprised to find that her face was burning like mad.

Even her breathing was rapid and hot.

Susan was rattled and immediately placed her hand on Lucy’s forehead.

As expected, Lucy had a fever.

Her body temperature was quite high, it was certainly not a mild fever.

“Lucy, Lucy, wake up.” Susan pushed Lucy gently. Although she was a little impatient, she was not too loud.

She was afraid that she had accidentally woken up Lucy. She did not want her to wake up from the nightmare.

Yes, a nightmare.

Lucy had tears in her eyes. She was frowning and her expression was painful. It was obvious that she was troubled by something.

Susan did not know what Lucy had experienced, but she knew Lucy well enough. She would not have been in such a situation had it not been for a startling event.

It was because of this that Susan became more and more uneasy.

Susan woke her up after a while.

Lucy burst into tears again when she saw Susan in front of her.

“Sister Susan…” She said nothing. She just reached out and hugged her manager.

It was only then that Susan found out that Lucy was sleeping naked.

“Lucy, what’s going on with you?!”

Lucy did not say anything. She just looked at Susan and shook her head in tears.

Susan was silent. Since Lucy did not want to say anything, she could only remain silent.

However, Susan only felt that her chest was burning with anger looking at the lost Lucy.

Having known Lucy for so many years, she was not just an artist under her, but more as a good friend and a sister to Susan.

Her sister was in trouble. Was there any reason not to help her? None. Therefore, Susan made up her mind after much hesitation.

She was painfully holding Lucy in her arms. Her voice was filled with a hidden fury. “Lucy, tell me, who would dare to treat you like this.”

Lucy’s body trembled so much and she burst into passionate weeping.

Susan was steaming with rage when she saw Lucy in this situation.

She stated sternly, “Lucy, do you know how much damage it would do to you if this matter were known to the outside world? How will they look at you? And how do you want Mace to treat you?”

“If you confess to me now, I can still think of ways to get you through this matter. If I don’t even know about this, you’re alone, Lucy.”

Lucy stopped sobbing, and then it gradually reduced.

She looked up toward Susan. The blankness in her eyes gradually receded, leaving behind calmness and contemplation.

Lucy knew that Susan was right.

It was not something that she could have hidden alone.

Indeed, she could cover this up, but only if Susan helped her.

She could not do this on her own, she still needed Susan’s support. Especially when the management questioned her absenteeism because she could only resume work after the marks all over her body were completely gone.

After thinking over and over again, Lucy decided to tell Susan the full story.

However, she had not been entirely honest with Susan. She only told her about the second time that she and Joel slept together. Her first two times were given to this man, it did not make much difference anyway.

That was why the explanation had to be very convincing to fool the people.

Lucy thought for a while and asked. “Sister Susan, how do you plan to deal with this matter?”

Susan groaned. “Knowing to ask me, I assume you are sincere.”

“I intend to deal with this matter in this way.” Susan took a sip to moisten her throat and continued.

“I’ve already told management that you aren’t well-fit recently and need to rest. As for Mace, you’ll have to face him yourself.”

“What should I do?” Lucy asked.

Susan was silent for a moment. She then said seriously, “I need you to tell him that you are sick recently, not physically, but psychologically.”

“Psychologically? What should I say?” Lucy frowned and looked at Susan with a puzzled expression. “And, why?”

Susan smiled and said, “I need you to tell him that your mental health was not very good recently. You are too tired to meet people. You can only avoid his concerns and inquiries if you say that you are under great pressure. With that, only you can have a good rest and let your body recover. You will then come back after all the things are settled.”

“Like this…” Lucy hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Alright, thank you.”

Susan glanced at her with some dismay. “Don’t mention it! No need to thank me. We don’t need this word between us.”

Lucy tilted her head for a moment and rubbed her nose. “You’re right, I’m confused.”

She wiped away her tears and was ready to get up, but as soon as she got off the bed to get dressed, her legs softened, and she kneeled on the ground.

Susan squatted down next to Lucy and helped her up. “What’s the matter?”

Just as she finished saying this, she realized that Lucy’s body was very hot.

Susan blamed herself by knocking her head. She was annoyed. “I forgot that you still had a cold. Lie on the bed quickly. I will pour water for you and buy some medicine.”
