Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Seeing Lucia's expression, August realized what was going on. She thought that he and Adeline had some kind of shameful relationship, didn't she?'®

August actually felt a little amused when he understood what she was saying. He had never expected'®

that she would speak up for Jeanne.'®

After some surprise, August slightly curled his lips. The expression on his face did not change much, but'®

he was entertained by her reaction, thinking she was quite funny like that A moment later, he asked lightly, "Tell me, what are you doing here?" Usually, Lucia would try so there must be something However, Lucia felt so angry that she obviously didn't want to say anything more to him, so she coldly uttered a word, "Nothing." After that, she way, "Scumbag.."'®

Although her voice was low and muffled, August still heard what she said. With a glint in his eyes, he'®

moved his lips coldly "Stop." She actually called him a scumbag? How dare she! August

Lucia was startled and secretly gasped in disbelief.'

She hadn't expected that he would hear her curse him behind his back!'

In addition, she had deliberately said it in such a low voice that normally no one could hear her. So, he'

wasn't a normal man, was he?'

Of course, Lucia didn't know that Augus~-'s five senses were more sensitive than those be no good'

consequences!'

It was best for her to leave now!'

She grilled her teeth and pretended she didn't hear anything as she went on slepping out. But no sooner had she grabbed the handle and pulled the door open a little than a fair-and-clear-skinned hand with distinct knuckles and long singers came over to slam When she looked up, she saw the man's handsome face right in front of her. He looked calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger, but his expressionless face was still perfect and impeccable. Her throat tightened and the forced herself to stay calm. "What?" August frowned. His voice was so deep that it seemed to be weighing on her. "What did you just say. Lucia?'®

He tightened his jawline a bit condescendingly. It seemed that he was gritting his leeth slightly as he' to a goose. Her eyes wandered. "I' didn't say anything." if she admitted it directly, she was afraid that August would give her a hard time! She denied it vocally, but inside, she couldn't help feeling regretful! She shouldn't have said that here. When she got out of this door, it would be fine no matter how many times she cursed him. However, she hadn't been able to stop herself from blurting it out, and he had'®

heard her, so she was asking for trouble, wasn't she?'®

Seeing that the woman's attitude changed instantly, August felt even more amused. She was obviously'®

afraid of him, but just now, she had been bold enough to curse him, so she was typically mean and'

timid.'

He reached out to grab Lucia's chin, forced her to look at him with a little push, and lightly parted his thin'

lips, "What did you just say? Say it again."'®

At this point, Lucia dared not say that again. She had to take a deep breath and pretended to be innocent.'

"I didn't say anything."'®

soft lips as he deliberately leaned in closer. "But I heard you clearly just now."'®

When the man's cool breath swept over her, Lucia's heart beat faster. She didn't dare to look him in the'

August's eyes darkened and he asked unhurriedly, "Not:'®

Lucia didn't know what to say, feeling nervous. She was at the mercy of him now, like fish on a chopping'

board. Whether she said it or not, it would not end well!'

Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door.'®

"Knock!"'®

The door vibrated with the sound of knocking. Leaning against the door, Lucia shivered with shock and'

her face turned pale.'

The next second, Burton's voice came. "Mr. Adams, Joshua is here. I told him to go to the reception'

room." When August heard that, he didn't hesitate and immediately said, "I'm coming."

Something Mickered in his eyes. He seemed to curl his lips slightly and lowered his voice as he whispered in her ear, "You won't get off so easily next time." He could wait. Anyway, there would be a time for it. After that, he released her, opened the door, and strode Dui. Lucla froze on the spot. What the man had just said was still ringing in her ears. She took a deep breath'®

In'a panic to calm her mind.'®

Why did he sound like she was the one who was in the wrong when he was the one who was navinu au'0

affair?'®

Lucia was a little angry at her reaction just now. She shook her head, calmed down a little and then'

to August for. She had come to ask him for Dr. Long's contact information, but she choice but to go to lunch first.'®

When Lucia was having lunch, Paula suddenly called. As soon as she answered, Lucia heard Paula's lively voice coming from the other end. "Hello, Lucia, let's go out this weekend, okay?" "I'm afraid I can't, Paula. I have to go to Franksfurt in two days for business." Paula was a little disappointed. She asked, "Go to Franksfurt for business? Why haven't I heard you talk'

about it?"'

Lucia smiled. Hearing the disappointment in Paula's voice, she said softly, "They just made the decision'

recently. It'll only take three or four days. We can go out when I get back." Hearing this, Paula had to say reluctantly, "Okay, then we'll wait until you get back." After hanging up the phone, Paula turned to the man standing beside her and curled her lip, saying, "You hear that? She doesn't have time, so you can't blame me Paul curved his

until she coines back."'

Paula finally couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey, Paul, 1'®

didn't know you could be such a wimp." Usually, he was decisive and straightforward at his sister for help when he wanted to ask Lucia out! Paul did not get angry at her words. He curled his lips and kept silent without replying.'

He had his considerations, preferring to make slower progress than to hurt Lucia. From what happened'

between her and August last time, he could see that she had been hurt, so he didn't want to scare her by being too forward.'

He believed that it would be best for their relationship to develop slowly and to let nature take its course'
