Chapter 1605: Chapter 1819

“Miss Diaz, you are truly remarkable.

Despite your youthful appearance, you’ve completed a collaborative business plan with a major group.

Moreover, Mr.

Nguyen himself selected you.

Congratulations!”

Upon hearing Lucinda’s voice, Nala turned around and greeted her with a friendly smile.

“I can’t compare to you, Mrs.

Simmons.

I’m just getting the chance to collaborate with Mr.

Nguyen next time.

But you’re the one who emerged victorious this time.

Congratulations to you!”

Drawing nearer to Nala, Lucinda paid close attention to her words.

Nala’s voice sounded raspy, not quite like that of a young woman.

“Miss Diaz, is there something up with your voice? You sound more mature than someone your age?” Lucinda put it delicately.

Danilo, still quite dashing in his forties, instinctively wrapped his arms around Diaz’s slender waist and explained, “Diaz has had this voice since she was a child, but I find it quite lovely.

I think it’s unique and beautiful.

”

Lucinda’s gaze remained fixed on Nala’s face as she casually inquired, “May I ask how old Miss Diaz is?”

Danilo answered on Nala’s behalf, “She’s 21 years old.

”

“21?”

Lucinda mused that if Valerie were still alive, she would be 20 years old this year.

“Miss Simmons has been looking at my face for a while now.

Did I mess up my makeup?” Nala inquired.

Lucinda responded with a grin, “Not at all.

Miss Diaz’s makeup is wonderfully done.

It gives me a sense of recognition.

”

Nala responded with an innocent and clever smile, saying nothing in return, Lucinda went on, “I recall that both Mr.

Brewer and Miss Diaz are from Zephyria.

How is it that Miss Diaz speaks to me with an accent similar to those who live in Cadiered?”

“I spent a few years studying in Cadiered,” Nala replied casually.

“I have a great fondness for Cadiered.

I find it to be a beautiful country.

I’ll return to it when the opportunity arises.

”

Lucinda responded warmly, “Anytime, Miss Diaz.

When you do decide to visit Cadiered, give me a ring.

I’d be delighted to show you around and introduce you to our local traditions.

”

“Much appreciated, Miss Simmons.

” Nala expressed.

Lucinda and Nala exchanged friendly nods as they looked at each other.

Danilo placed his hands on Nala’s shoulders and escorted her out of the halt.

Even after the pair departed, Lucinda remained rooted in her spot, reviewing every detail of Nala’s actions and words during their recent conversation.

Lucinda still found Nala to be somewhat unusual.

However, Valerie was an accomplished actress who had won numerous awards.

It would be effortless for Valerie to conceal subtle gestures and portray herself as an innocent girl.

With this in mind, Lucinda retrieved her phone and contemplated making a call.

However, realizing it might be nighttime in Cadiered, she wasn’t sure if Abel was already asleep, so she sent a message instead.
