Chapter 28 Lucia took a deep breath and turned to look at Emma who was beside her.

"This really has nothing to do with Mr.Adams."

Emma sighed.

"Then you need to find a way to explain.

After all, everyone now thinks you’re head over heels in love with Mr.Adams to the point of badgering him."

Explain? No one would listen even if she tried to explain.

"Ding-dong."

The door of the lift opened.

Lucia and Emma stepped out side by side and walked to the front door.

ima Suddenly, a man came up towards them.

"Lucia!"

Lucia turned to see that it was Baron, a male colleague from the finance department.

"Baron, you just got off work too?"

Baron smiled at her and nodded.

"What a coincidence."

He paused, said hello to Emma, and then looked back at Lucia.

"Where are you going? Do you want me to take you home?"

A little uncomfortable with Barons enthusiasm and attention, Lucia reached out to hook her arm around Emma’s and declined with a smile.

"I’ve got a dinner date with Emma."

At that, Baron smiled and scratched his head.

"Well then, you two go for dinner and I’ll take you home next time when I get a chance."

"Okay, bye."

After saying goodbye to Baron, Lucia pulled Emma with her and left the lobby of the company quickly.

When they were far away from the company, Emma smiled and asked, "Lucia, everyone can see that Baron likes you! And I think he’s nice.

Why do you keep rejecting him?"

Lucia had mixed feelings.

She looked down at the wedding ring on her finger and had no idea how to explain it to Emma.

Seeing that Lucia didn’t answer, Emma didn’t get angry and said, holding Lucia’s hand, "Actually, I do have an idea that will help you to stop the rumors in the company."
