“Well, Lucinda, I need to go and get my purse.”
Lucinda nodded in permission and watched her go.
If the man had helped Vivien with work, then he must be an employee at the company.
She called Zaniyah in and asked her to look into the matter in secret.
It didn’t take long before she had the information she wanted. The man was Franco Perry, and he was a staff member of the Planning Department, just like Vivien.
This news actually surprised Lucinda. She had brought both Zaniyah and Franco with her from the Dark Bell, and she had personally made arrangements to install them within the Roberts Group. She had no doubts about his morals, and she trusted him.
Still, Lucinda called Franco to her office the very next day.
“How was your date last night?”
Franco sheepishly scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.
“Is there anything you don’t know, Boss?”
“Are you truly interested in Vivien? Do you like her?”
Franco’s expression turned serious as he nodded.
“I have heard about the past conflicts between the two of you. Actually, when she first joined the company, I was planning to make trouble with her. But as I spent more time with her, I learned that while she is a bit headstrong and domineering, and a spoiled brat sometimes, she… Well, she is rather cute most of the time. I really like her, Boss.”
“ALL right, then. You may get back to work.”
Lucinda didn’t intervene in the couple’s relationship, and it proved to be the right thing to do, as their romance progressed steadily over time.
Three months later, Vivien and Franco were married in a grand wedding ceremony in Isley Church, at the heart of Forden.
On that same day, Lucinda transferred 40% of the Roberts Group’s shares to Vivien.

There was a small reception before the ceremony, where big shots from various industries mingled, drinking champagne in the garden while chatting about anything and everything.
Lucinda didn’t like events like this. She sat in an inconspicuous corner with Dwayne and quietly sipped champagne.
The Turner family had been invited to the wedding, and as soon as Presley and Mario arrived, they made a beeline for Lucinda.
They hadn’t seen each other in a long time. The first thing that Lucinda noticed was Jennifer’s absence.
Presley shot her a helpless smile and explained.
“She’s currently crazy in love. No matter how hard her father and I tried to persuade her, she just wouldn’t listen. She flew to Gliethien as soon as her legs recovered.”
Gliethien?
